Heaven Only Knows (A Silver Buckle Romance Series Book 3) by Laurie Lewis

Heaven Only Knows is the third book in the A Silver Buckle Romance Series. This is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down until I finished. I literally read in a afternoon. This is a emotional journey that had my emotions all over the place. It’s packed with drama, second chances, loss ,hope ,faith and finding who you are. I’m a huge fan of this author and this may be my favorite yet. Parts of the story wrecked me where other parts pulled at my heartstrings. But each story in this series is about a different Brockbank Brother. This is Barrett’s story, he is a lawyer just finishing up his Internship and the firm sent him to New Orleans. He’s not sure what he wants to do but he meets a woman but it seems something keeps coming between them. There is no denying the attraction between them as the secrets are. revealed and the hits continue. Can these two keep working together ? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Love and Fate (Braebeach Rockstar #2)Love and Fate by Loriana Cappello
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Breabeach series and the members of Koolum Law are a little bit older now and famous. This is Tommy’s and Angie’s story and they have been thru a lot. I really enjoyed their story and the continuation of Ash’s and Calla’s story. You really root for these characters and fell for them because of all of the things life has thrown at them and want to see them succeed in their relationship. I can’t wait to see who’s story is next!

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago #2)Forbiddenly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book had it all for me. Spice. Drama. Secrets. This book is everything good rolled into one. It can be read alone however if you are like me you will want to know more. This book has romance, steam, and danger. He’s her teacher but neither can fight the sparks and connection they feel. I love books that feature multiple points of view, so for me I liked seeing everything unfold between Nicole and Callum from each of their points of view. This book was easy to read and with the drama and chemistry between them, I couldn’t stop. Highly recommend and I will be reading more.

Malice, Demented Souls Series, Melissa Stevens, Review, Itsy Bitsy Book Bits, Contemporary Romance by Joanne ellis

/0 Comments/in /by

This book is part of the Demented Souls Series and tells the story of Malice. Recently just left the Army, he is working in a ranch.
The men in this series, take a no nonsense, alpha-male attitude but really, he is a caring and the guys in the group are just like brothers.
Malice is in a Diner when he meet’s Bonnie. She has come out of an abusive relationship, but her ex cannot understand why they are no longer together. Something happens with her ex whilst they are in there and Malice goes to protect her. Escorting her out, he gives her his phone number, just in case she needs anymore help.

This then begins an undeniable chemistry and where the story begins! It is a wonderful story and it kept me reading page after page.
I have not read the books before this, but I am now looking forward to having a binge on all of them! I enjoyed the story, learning about Malice and the MC Biker Group.
Would 100% recommend this if you love Romance, Drama and Suspense.

I really enjoyed this book. The way Ms. Stevens tells the story you feel like you are right there. I enjoyed how the others in the group took care of Malice and Bonnie and always had their backs.

Malice is at a restaurant and he sees a young lady sitting alone at a table, then a man walks up and she appears to not want to talk to him. He follows her out of the restaurant and sees the man approach her. He steps in to protect her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love a series that can be read in any order or by themselves. This is book two in the Love Ties us series but it can be a standalone novel. So if you have read the first story it is ok. I really love the playlist at the front of the books. I think they are great companions to capture the essence of the story.
I loved this story, instant connection is so hard to come by but it’s so beautiful. It really is as if that person was made for you. The chemistry between Damien and Cadence jumps off of the page. I enjoyed every minute of the book.

The Predator Part One was the first book I’ve read by Brooke May, but I can tell you it won’t be my last. The tension was unreal throughout this book especially in the beginning and the characters were great. I was pulled into it from the beginning, it held on to me till the end, and I will absolutely be looking forward to book part two.

Love Rinkside (The Playmakers Series) Audiobook by G. K. Brady – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz

/0 Comments/in /by

Although it was a quick listen, Love Rinkside was a laugh out loud funny, well written, hockey romance. Although the guy plays hockey and it’s important to him it wasn’t the center point of the novel. The first chapter had me laughing out loud. I loved the relationship between the MMC and the FMC, and it started out pretty intense for them both. I think both voices were a perfect fit for the characters and really brought them to life! I am definitely interested in reading/listening to more of the novels in this series.

By Your Side (Willowbrook Lake, #1)By Your Side by Ashley Erin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Usually I go for different type of romances and rom-com’s, but every now and then I like to get into a comfortable, small town, heart warming romance. By Your Side was a really good one. Adeline and Owen fit the narrative beautifully and they had great chemistry. Adeline is a widow who is trying to overcome losing the love of her life and Owen is a grumpy, short on words handy man at her house. Although neither person is looking for love they begin to realize that the chemistry between them cannot be ignored. The emotions in By Your Side pulled at my heartstrings, and felt real, but the characters held onto hope that they could come out stronger on the other side when they least expected it.

Stout of My League (Love on Tap #4)Stout of My League by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is another wonderful addition to a great series! Stout of my League had me captivated, I ended up finishing it in two days, I didn’t want to put it down. Joey and Lynn had some serious chemistry from the get go, despite her overbearing brothers, but not only is this a romance with a fair amount of spice, it has mystery elements as well. There many times I found myself laughing out loud and sometimes my heart was breaking for Joey, he was such a genuine guy, and even for Lynn and her mom at times. Do yourself a favor if you’re looking for a great story and give this series a try.

Make Me Want To Love You: Love in Emerald CreekMake Me Want To Love You: Love in Emerald Creek by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I didn’t realize when I first picked up this book, but I’ve read, and enjoyed books by N.D Jackson previously. Make Me Want To Love You was along the same vein as the others, really enjoyable! This was an incredibly cute, small town romance, involving a single mother with two kids from a previous marriage, and a rich, single, friend of a friend/business partner. Burke was an amazing MMC, caring, and selfless, while Shayna was jaded, but a great FMC, but I think Burke was my favorite character, and Dre, she reminded me a lot of myself. The characters had a ton of chemistry, fun banter between them, and it gets hot and heavy pretty quickly, but I didn’t think it was too graphic. As always I loved getting chapters from both characters point of view. If this sounds like your thing you should definitely give this book a try. I’ll be going back to read book one so I can catch up.

Toasted (Love Burns #1)Toasted by Isobel Reed
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As someone who has read Reed’s Bluestone series and really enjoyed it when I saw she had another book, about hot fire fighters no less, coming out I jumped at the chance to read it as soon as I could. I was NOT disappointed, there were so many things to unpack in Toasted and I enjoyed every minute of it. I look forward to reading more from her in this series. There was insta-love from both main characters but with Libby’s trauma she experienced at the hands of her mother she was so reserved and at first was not able to label things like Zach was able to do so easily. It was a wonderful thing watching them grow together.

4 R's: Roped, Rescued, Risked, Romanced4 R’s: Roped, Rescued, Risked, Romanced by Julie Castle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The four R’s is a group of four different novels by Julie Castle. These were quick, engaging reads that I very much enjoyed reading. I have never read anything by this author before but typically when I step out of my comfort zone I’m pleasantly surprised. I liked that getting the box set, such as this one, allows the reader to just jump straight into the next story without having to stop at all which was nice as they were hard to put down. Castle writes real, intense, relatable characters, strong, independent female leads, and alpha, but sensitive when it matters male leads which are my favorite. Overall I would definitely recommend giving these a try.

Texas WindsTexas Winds by Dana Wayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An emotionally closed off cowboy due to his past with his wife, her infidelity, and not knowing if the child she was pregnant with was in fact his. He’s not willing to open up and risk his heart again, but enter Lexie, who after suffering terrible heartbreak, and being left at the altar by a man she’s really not sure she loved, has decided to start fresh after a move. I really enjoyed Dana’s take on these characters. They felt real, relatable, and their chemistry was off the charts. You felt the emotions as the characters experienced them. I always appreciate the dual narrative point of views for this very reason. Neither Jake nor Lexie can deny the attraction that they are experiencing despite everything they’ve been through. Dana Wayne has written a lovely heartwarming, second chance romance, slow-burn, emotional rollercoaster of a novel, set in Texas

This is the first book that I have read by this author and it certainly won’t be the last. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to more books by her. I read on my kindle and took it everywhere with me until I finished it.

Alex’s fiance left her standing at the alter and then he texted her Mom to say that he wouldn’t be at the wedding. She left town for a vacation and headed to a cabin that her brother got for her.

Jake’s wife Mary passed away four years ago. She had an accident and died from her injuries and he never told his family or friends that his wife had asked him for a divorce. He didn’t even know she was pregnant until they told him at the hospital.

Can Alex or Jake survive their past and find true love or will they each go on the way they have been. Read the story and see. I think you will fall in love with the characters in this book as much as I did.

This is a new too me author and this is the first book of theirs that I have read. I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed reading about the lives of the cast of The Charmed Lives. I loved most of the characters except Lance. I didn’t care much for him. But that;s just my opinion.

Valeria was the main character of the story and I enjoyed reading about her. She dated her co star Lance for a little while until he cheated on her with her friend and co star Hayley. Now her High School sweetheart has come back in the picture , Davis.

Can her and Davis get back after all these years apart or will they find someone else.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Closer is the third, and last book in The Hustlers Trilogy, but the second book I’ve read in this series. All of the books are standalone novels that have different tropes. The Closer is an enemies to lovers, dark, romance novel about Dallas, June, and second chance romance. This book was very much like book one in that there was drama, action, spice, chemistry, and secrets. I loved the setting, characters, and the witty banter. Although a little slow to get going it picks up and gets more interesting. Rowan Rossler has a well written, richly detailed, fascinating series on her hands.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Echo series was a wonderful set of romance books. I appreciated having the box set because it allowed me to read one after the other without stopping to buy the next one. Each of these can be read as a standalone as they concern different couples but there are always those little bits that make reading them in order worthwhile. While this is my first time reading anything from this author I really liked their ability to bring the characters to life, make them seem real, and experience real life strife. The character growth was great. You will definitely find yourself be absorbed wholly into these novels. They are pretty quick reads but once you get started you won’t want to stop reading. I would definitely recommend giving these a shot.
