5 out of 5 stars

If you love the Christmas season and romance this is the anthology for you. These stories will have your emotions going up and down the entire time, you are reading them. Mine sure did. There are sad moments and also heartwarming moments in these books. I love anthologies as they give me a chance to be introduced to new authors. This group of stories has a few authors I have read before and others it was my first time reading their work. All of these stories have a romantic feel to them, and I couldn’t help but care for the characters and I found myself wishing that they find happiness. I have to say that I really enjoyed Two Hearts’ Christmas Gift by Tamara Ferguson. Her stories always have me hooked from beginning to end. I also love that the characters that she writes about are wounded warriors and that attention is brought to then. Don’t miss out on a set of stories that will keep you glued to the pages or your Kindle. I highly recommend this anthology.

This box set was a great read. All of the stories were quite enjoyable. One of my favorites were Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes by Tamara Ferguson which was an all around great story to read. The characters were very likable. What were the odds of Samantha Coldwell and Ben Nash crossing paths again. The chemistry between them was off the charts. Once it is know that Sam Coldwell is a wanted woman, how will Nash react? Will he care? Will he want to save her? Great read! Looking forward to more from many of the authors in this set especially Tamara Ferguson.

So many new to me authors in this collection! Of course the big one that drew me to this was Tamara Ferguson, I’ve read many of her books and didn’t want to miss out on the other great stories in this.

All books in this anthology have a common theme, heroes. What makes a hero, a hero? Read any of these stories and you’ll find out that not all heroes wear capes or camo and could be just an average person. I really loved these but the one that made me pick this up will be focused on here.

Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes by Tamara Ferguson
Samantha and Ben met overseas but it was a stressful moment that left both of them changed. When Ben is sent to a training facility with an odd task, he doesn’t expect to see Samantha there. These two were great and with the twists and turns this story took, it was more about them and what was happening, than a typical romance story where we’re seeing them set the sheets on fire every couple pages. I highly recommend this story.

And I will be reading all of these stories in the coming weeks when my tbr list allows it!

Irresistible Heroes – Heroes of Your Heart by Various Authors is an amazing collection of magnificent stories. This collection features so many wonderful characters and I loved the romance. Having read Tamara Ferguson before, her story really stuck out to me. Her character Sam was my favorite. She was very strong and brave despite her amputation. Ben seemed perfect for her.

I really enjoyed this collection and felt the storyline of each book was easy to follow and flowed easily from page one all the way to the end. Being an Anthology full of various romances, I feel that it could be enjoyed a wide audience.

Irresistible Heroes is a collection of stories that will steal your heart! Tamara Ferguson, Natalie Ann, Suzanne Jenkins, Cynthia Cooke, Alicia Street, Alyssa Bailey, Stephanie Queen and Patrice Wilton came together to give us a present that makes the current hot summer nights scorching!
I have read everything Tamara Ferguson has ever written and almost all that Stephanie Queen has written so there was no doubt in my head whether to pick this collection up or not AND of course, neither of them let me down!
Tamara Ferguson’s Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes took me back to Crystal Rock, Wisconsin, with Captain Samantha Coldwell and Captain Ben Nash. It brings the terrorists to the wounded warriors’ center and I loved meeting up with familiar faces! I promise you that you will enjoy this unlikely heroes story!
Stephanie Queen’s Never Gone By is the opening to another of her fine series called The Zero to Hero and I cannot wait to see what comes next! There are so many heroes she could have chosen among and I am very pleased that she decided to open with Joe and let’s not forget about our Hollywood costume designer turned starlet Mae!
I used the opportunity to discover new writers and I can say that She’s Having a Baby by Suzanne Jenkins will leave you grabbing your tissues when she packs into the opening of her new series taking place in San Diego family, duty, action, love, loss, heartache and new beginnings! It was not only our leading couple but a whole family of heroes aka supporting cast!
This collection has something for everyone so I warmly recommend you to pick up and spend a cool weekend inside or a breezy day outside with it!

IRRESISTIBLE HEROESIRRESISTIBLE HEROES by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Irresistible Heroes is a superb Anthology of stories from some very talented, best-selling and award-winning authors. The stories are all so great- all quite individual to the author, but all are based on the same theme- which is “Irresistible Heroes”. We get to meet all kinds of heroes, and heroines- from cops, to fire fighters, Military personnel, Veterans, and Doctors- there’s a hero here that is bound to capture your attention, and a piece of your heart in the process.
This Anthology is made up of eight wonderful stories that are all really well written, interesting, engaging, and entirely enjoyable. The stories are:

 

Two Heart Unlikely Heroes By: Tamara Ferguson

This was definitely one of my favourites of the collection. I love Ms. Ferguson’s books and have read pretty much everything she has written. This is the ninth book in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Series- but you don’t need to have read the rest of the series to enjoy this story- as it reads wonderfully well as a standalone. But having said that, you, like me will probably develop a bit of an addiction to her stories and get the desire to explore the rest of her books. Something I have discovered now I have read a lot of her books is the way Ms. Ferguson has cleverly built a bigger picture, a cast of believable and endearing characters, and a supportive community in which to base her stories (for the most part). Everything comes to life, and through each book you begin to see more interconnected details, characters, and situations.
This book is one of my favourites of her, bringing suspense, terrorists, danger and intrigue to Crystal Rock- as we follow Captain Samantha Caldwell and AFOSI Agent Captain Ben Nash on a bit of an adventure as the danger mounts and they try to piece everything together.
As always, Ms. Ferguson doesn’t disappoint!

 

Simply Love By: Natalie Ann

This is the third book in the Love Collection series by Natalie Ann. It is such a sweet, and emotive story that had me rooting for the characters right from the get go. Gemma and Blake have both endured quite a lot of emotional pain in their lives. So, will they finally find the new beginning and second chance they have both searching for? This book is really worth the read to find out!

 

She’s Having a Baby By: Suzanne Jenkins

Oh Ms. Jenkins you’ve done it again! Another great read- but I highly recommend having a box of tissues on hand, as this story will give your emotions a bit of a battering. This is the first book in Ms. Jenkins new series, The Saints of San Diego.
With friendship, family, duty, action, drama, love, loss, heartache, pain, joy, and new beginnings- this story may be short, but it packs quite a punch. We meet our main characters, but also a whole cast of wonderful secondary characters- a family of heroes who completely won me over. What a memorable way to start off a new series- and if this is any example, the rest of the series is set to be just as great! I can’t wait!

 

Johnny’s Girl By: Cynthia Cooke

This is the second book in the Deadly Secrets series by Cynthia Cooke. Full of intrigue, mystery, danger, suspense, action, drama, and more- this romantic suspense had me hooked right from the get-go.
This is my first read by Ms. Cooke and I really didn’t know what to expect going in, but now I am happy to say that I will definitely be exploring more of Ms. Cooke’s work in the future. This is one of the main reasons I love reading anthologies, because it’s a chance to discover new authors to add to your TBR, and therefore more books to explore!!! WIN-WIN!!
Well done!

 

Fire Me Up By: Alicia Street

We meet a hunky firefighter looking for a fresh start and a shy schoolteacher who shakes things up and brings a bit of a spark to his life. This was such a quick and easy read- a sweet story with a witty, captivating (second chance) romance…. which also has an emotional element to it too. Well worth the read!

 

Seal of Refuge By: Alyssa Bailey

Who doesn’t love a sexy Navy SEAL- so add a unlucky in love school teacher, a few surprises, a little bit of drama, and a wonderful romance- and this story really takes off. I didn’t expect to like this story as much as I did- they characters really won me over. A great story to start off Ms. Bailey’s Guardian’s of Refuge series. I for one, can’t wait for the next instalment!

 

Never Gone By: Stephanie Queen

This is the first book in the Zero to Hero Series by Stephanie Queen. Another 5 Star read in this exciting collection. I love Ms. Queen’s books and was really excited to see it was the start to a new series. Zero Go Team is made up of so many heroes, I can’t wait to follow all the character’s stories as they release.
As expected from Ms. Queen, this story is really well written, sexy, spicy, intriguing, and original. The characters pulled me into the story, and I became completely invested in them and their story- devouring every word! I loved meeting Joe and Mae- and I can’t wait for more.

 

Handle With Care By: Patrice Wilton

Handle With Care is the second book in the Wounded Warrior Series by Patrice Wilson. Shane Dawson was a medic serving in Iraq when he is captured and tortured. He may be home from the war, but he left a piece of himself behind, trading it for a whole lot of pain and some difficult personal demons.
Lauren Reynolds is a skilled ER doctor- a single mother with a young son who has ADHD. Things haven’t been easy since her husband died, but she and her son Josh make a pretty good team.
Meeting Shane sets them both on a path they never expected. Taking a chance on love doesn’t come easy, or without some risk. What happens you ask? Well you really should read all the emotional details for yourself…. it’s definitely worth your time.
A story of trauma, pain, addiction, struggles, emotion, friendship, trust, romance, spirit, redemption, and love.

 

As you can see, we meet a variety of charming heroes who will all inspire, captivate, and entertain you. They will entice you into the book and keep you there, avidly turning the pages to follow each as their story unfolds.
So, if you are looking for a book that is full of heroes, romance, and stories that you can connect with- then this is definitely the anthology for you…… And hello, eight books for the price of one…. WINNING!!!!

Thank you to all the contributing authors!

Irresistible Heroes Anthology was packed full of fun, emotional, feels invoking read, that kept me moving from one engaging story to the next.

I love anthologies, there is always a story for everyone, and you get to discover new authors. This one was no different, and I now have a few new authors to stalk… I mean follow.. yeah follow..

Anyways, as I was saying, this anthology was all that and more. I flew through this, and I was a little sad when it ended. The stories in these wonder don’t follow one another, so you don’t need to read them in order, you can flip back and forth, do whatever you want.

I will say that I did very much enjoy Fire Me Up by Alicia Street, it was that type of romance, it was sweet witty and just… so many feels. I also liked Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes by Tamara Ferguson, which I will say is an author I know and have read books by. It was part of the reason I chose this anthology. Again, this story was pulling, sparked the feels and the MC’s were just a joy to read about. I have so many feels right now, that my brain is all mushy.

So I’m going to stop rambling and just leave you with my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

I loved reading the stories in the anthology Irresistible Heroes. They include some suspense and plenty of romance. I found myself pulled into each one and getting lost in the storylines and characters. I love anthologies as they are a chance for me to read stories from new authors. These stories included a couple of authors that I have read books by before. One of the stories that I enjoyed is Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes by Tamara Ferguson is an amazing story to read. I loved reading about the characters of Captain Samantha Coldwell and Captain Ben Nash. They both have served their country with honor. When it is found out that terrorists have the facility and Samantha in their sites, Ben takes on the role of her protector. There is an attraction between Ben and Samantha. There are sparks between them. Will those who threaten Samantha be caught? What does the future hold for Ben and Samantha? Read this story to find out. This story at times had me wondering what was going to happen next. It also has romantic scenes and dialogue. Another story I enjoyed was Johnny’s Girl by Cynthia Cooke. This story has the right amount of mystery and suspense that will keep you guessing until the end. There is action as well as romance. Don’t miss out on a group of stories that will have you reading far into the night. Highly recommended.

The Irresistible Heroes Anthology is a collection of fantastic stories but a group of brilliant authors. What drew me to this series initially was the fact that Tamara Ferguson had a story in this collection. She is an author I have become very familiar with over the past couple of years and I always enjoy her work.
However what kept me interested was how well written each and every story was. They were all different from each other so there was no risk of becoming bored. And yet they all had the same great appeal in their characters.
This is definitely an anthology you should try and a great way to introduce yourself to some new authors.

This is one of those fabulous anthologies that introduced me to some new authors and brought me new stories from favored authors. Each story is part of a series and can easily be read as stand-alones.

These are about different types of heroes. Some are obvious, others prefer to hang back.

A few of my favorites:

TWO UNLIKELY HEROES by Tamara Ferguson is a story about the small town of Crystal Rock which is home to a top rehab facility. Suspense, danger, romance and more. I always enjoy stories that come from Crystal Cove!!

SHE’S HAVING A BABY by Suzanne Jenkins is the first book I’ve read by this author and is also the first book of a new series. This book ~SIGH~ is short and to the point and filled with so many emotions that I won’t say anymore because I would give it all away.

This anthology has something for everyone. I absolutely recommend it.

All have great characters that are strong and pull you into their stories. A must read anthology.

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns)
By Alicia Street

Rainy Day Lovers is the third book in the Rocklyn series by Alicia Street. Don’t normally read a book that’s already book three of a series as I always wonder what I have missed out on. On saying that this book is a nice quick read, with amazing characters. I liked the characters of Roman and Raina, but the secondary characters in my opinion were just as good. Alicia has given us a heart warming, contemporary love story, a story that flowed perfectly from page to page. I do recommend that this book is read and I hope you enjoy it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great read about moving forward. Raina Rocklyn always likes to help people. When she saves a homeless man from being attacked in the rain, she thinks it is just a kind act for someone in need and will never see him again. Twenty odd years later, she bumps into successful plastic surgeon Ronan Blake while working in a market. She falls for him despite his standoffishness towards her but is there more to him than meets the eye?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Raina standing up for herself but still kind underneath or Ronan trying to be a better man with a kind heart. Great cast of supporting characters like the bubbly sister Shannon or the kind but stubborn father of Sydney.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like in the busy city full of life and people with its busy streets and restaurants. Or the contrast with the farm and vineyard and market full of fruit and veg and bright colourful flowers in blues and yellows is simple beauty. Or the rain and thunder and lightning with its sounds and smells and seen as a good omen like in folklore instead of being ominous as it is in literature which was refreshing and a lovely touch perfectly written.
The switch of perspectives was well written to display both sides of the story and with the asterisks dividing it with their names made it easy to follow for the reader. I also liked the use of dates and places in the chapter titles which was a great addition to give the reader a clear sense of location and to display how much time had passed. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3) by Alicia Street is a wonderfully written contemporary romance. It is a quick and easy read that is both heartwarming and heartfelt. These adorable characters drew me into their wonderful journey, which is both believable and realistic. I enjoyed the story so much that before I knew it I was turning the last page.

Raina has always put the needs of others before herself. So much so that when she sees quiet unassuming and disfigured man being harassed, she puts herself in danger. Will she ever see him again?

Roman had been given a second chance, one that changed his life. He is not that same broken man he once was. He has never forgotten the kind stranger that helped him so many years ago. Can he share his secret with the woman that he loves?

I am excited to read the rest of the series but I need to go back and start at the beginning, as I started with this book first.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers was a great book from start to finish. The characters were great and the plot was great.
It all started in 2001 when Raina was witness to a homeless guy around her age was getting attacked. He wasn’t only homeless but he was in some sort of horrific accident by the look of his face. Raina saved the young man and took him to get something to eat. Then gave him money and some good advise. She told Robbie to go speak with a friend of hers and she knew if given the chance she knew he would make the best of it. All because of Raina, Robbie stepped in to help a man being robbed in a park one night and his life changed.

Fifteen years later Raina and Robbie ( who now goes by Roman ) somehow meet again. Roman has a new face and is a plastic surgeon. All things happen for a reason. Fate stepped in and did the right thing in this book about second chance meetings / romances. Roman keeps his past hidden to Raina and doesn’t tell her that he was the homeless guy she helped all those years ago. What will happen when the truth comes out.
This book was such a sweet read. I love Roman. He’s just an all around great guy and I believe he was given that second chance at a happy life because of his run in with Raina.

4 out of 5 stars
I must say that this book starts with some series heart strings. This book can be read as a stand alone but I recommend picking up the previous 2 books as this one is just as good as the first two. Raina, or Rainy, as she likes to be called, spent most of her young adult life as the peacekeeper in what can be loosely called a dysfunctional household. When she grew up to become a family law attorney, she continued in that role, and is downright appalled to realize that she has pretty much let life slip her by.
Roman had a rough start in life. A tragic house fire took his family from him and left him orphaned, marred and in the foster system. When the group home setting didn’t work out so well, he took to the streets, only to be rescued, if only briefly, by the well-meaning Rainy. He fought his way out of his terrible position and is now a plastic surgeon, who helps heal the physical scars of others, all while the scars he suffers with, both physical and emotional, eat away at him.
These two characters are a fire waiting to ignite, and when they do, they are set ablaze. The dynamic between these two is unlike any that I have read before and the author has crafted a unique dual POV that had me hooked from the first page. You will not regret this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers is the 3rd book in the Rocklyns series by Alicia Street. Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone. This is the first book I have read by this author and if this book is anything to go by, I’ll be reading more.
Rainy Day Lovers is a short read (120 pages) but there’s so much packed into those 120 pages. It’s a heart-warming story which shows that if someone really believes in you and encourages you, you can achieve great things.
Raina (Rainy) Rocklyn has a heart of gold and will do anything to help others. One such act of kindness totally changed the life of homeless teenager Robbie Malako when she saved him from a brutal attack. Robbie had been badly burned in a fire and was badly disfigured which lead him to be the subject of abuse and attack.
Years later Raina meets handsome plastic surgeon Roman Blake at a family wedding. There is an instant attraction between them but Roman brushes her off and acts very coldly towards her. Life has other plans and the 2 are forced to spend time together. Unknown to Rainy, Roman is actually Robbie. Not long after the incident with Rainy he was adopted by a plastic surgeon who totally transformed his life.
This is a beautiful story with 2 characters that I adored. If you are looking for a quick read that will make you all warm and fuzzy inside then Rainy Day Lovers is the book for you.

Rainy Day Lovers is the third book in Alicia Street’s The Rocklyns’ series. As the writer says, you can read all the books in the series as standalones so that is also what I did, I started with book three! I have not read anything else by this writer so I was curious when reading the blurb so I decided to pick up a copy!
I was right! Alicia has given us a beautiful contemporary love story with two amazing characters – Raina and Roman. They were so realistic, you could simply close your eyes and picture this story in front of your eyes, like walking along them … I loved the complexity of the characters and how the wrier spun the story, there was something about the two of them, the way they met, the paths the life took them down on … the sadness, the tension, the attraction, the passion …
I loved the split point of view telling of story that added another layer of reality to the characters as it pushes us deeper into who they are … ALSO, let’s not forget about all those secondary characters that make us wish for their own story so it means I need to go and read the other stories in the series and keep an eye on the next one!

This was my first read by this author and I really enjoyed this story! It may be book 3 but i was able to read this as a standalone.
While I enjoyed this book, I also felt the two main characters were kind of rushed. We got a little back story, and then they’re kind of thrust together and there wasn’t much “woo-ing” they just sort of were. I just wanted a little bit more from that otherwise this was a realpy great storyline and something different that I haven’t read before.
Will be reading the rest of this series now!

This is my first book by Alicia Street and I will say she has me hooked. Its the 3rd book in the series but its a standalone but with that said I’m going back to read them all!

Her writing is amazing and she knows how to draw you into the story. The story was well developed and the characters were amazing. So easy to fall in love with and completely well rounded. She made this story relatable and believable which is something I don’t see very often and LOVE!

This book needs to be on everyone one click list! I’ll be going back to read her other books because she has me hooked!
