Embracing Jared (Thrill of the Chase #3) by Anna Paige

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s the third book in the Thrill of the Chase Series. Jared and Madison are cute and I was very happy to read their story.

Jared is after one thing and one thing only, getting the best care for his father. So when the new caregiver is being a pain he goes in person to confront her. Then he’s grateful for her and asks her to be his father’s private nurse. The quote I chose for Jared is: “That’s the first s-s-song I ever played. I l-l-learned it for my f-f-father because I knew it w-w-was his favorite. Because he w-w-was my hero. S-s -still is.”

Madison loves her job and gets attached to her patients. She gets protective of Mr. Christopher and when things go south she thinks of his safety before her own. She can’t help but fall for Mr. Christopher’s son although she knows she shouldn’t. The quote I chose for Madison is: “Sounds good. Mr. Christopher, you sit tight for just a minute. Cookie will be right back, okay? Ethan is going to find a good station on the radio. He’s not from around here, so maybe you can help.”

Can’t have another repeat of last night.”

Red has worked his way up to being Prez. When he runs into an old flame and sees that the kid she has looks like him things change. Can he accept his kid for the way they are? Challenges come, but Red isn’t backing down. The quote I chose for Red is: “Your mom and I need to have a conversation. To say I didn’t expect things to turn out how they have when I came here today is the understatement of the century. But whatever, you’ll be seeing me around. Now I know I’m your dad, I’m not going to stay away.”

Cheryl is now going by Cher and has been raising Zeke on her own. She wanted to let Red know, but had no way of contacting him to let him know. Zeke isn’t like most kids and prefers to be called them and they. Can she let Red back into her life? The quote I chose for Cher is: “I was stupid. My only excuse is that I was young, and never before had been away from home. I missed my mom, missed my creature comforts. It wasn’t until I watched you ride away, that I knew I missed you more.”

Vanessa is sent from her Gods and is now in front of Aroz’s mother. As Vanessa puts it, The Ice Witch (change w to b) sent her on another task after destroying the vial. Now Vanessa’s got to appease both the Ice Witch and Grey’s mother. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “If I’d been thinking…Ugh. It’s not like I didn’t know he was alive and that Gorgonita turned living beings into stone. I just got used to not having to worry about it in the Underworld, and…Poof! Raef appears, alive and well, until I introduced them.”

Grey is worried about Vanessa when she disappears from him and his brothers. He then says that he’ll talk to his mother while Aroz talks to his mother. Grey is stuck in the Other world until Dorian completes his end of the bargin. The quote I chose for Grey is: “Dorian. Forget it. You have twelve hours to find your last tainted soul.

Call me the moment you’ve found your final candidate.”

Raef is tired of being mortal while his brothers are immortal. He tries to off himself once he knows that Vanessa has been sent on another mission. The quote I chose for Raef is: “Disaster averted. Vanessa, please don’t blame yourself. I knew coming here wouldn’t be a garden of roses. At least looking at Gorgonita didn’t turn me all the way to stone, so I’ve plenty to be thankful for.”

Aroz goes to talk to his mother only to be trapped. He is trying to get out of the cage so he can help Vanessa. His mother doesn’t know that he and Bow are now one. The quote I chose for Aroz is: “You are my lioness, mia bella. But I will get myself out of this mess.

Red leaves for Vegas. There he finds something he has seemed to be missing. Riding has always been his life so when the Satan’s Devils offer him a place, he takes it. The quote I chose for Red is: “Yeah. Been called it all my life. Barely remember the name I was born with. I have no idea why.”

Highly recommended for MC Romance lovers.

Rock Me to the Top: A Gracefall Rock Star Romance by Victoria Zak

This is the first book I’ve read by Zak. Rock Me to the Top is a great read. I will be looking forward to other books by Zak. I hope each book is just as good as this one.

Melody is the daughter of legendary Rock Star Leo Sterling. She is also Joe Grace’s best friend. She’s always had a dream of playing for the LA orchestra, but things didn’t work out for her. The quote I chose for Melody is: “Guess I can’t totally fault Dylan for last night. I’m sure it’s going to be hard to trust the guy who stole his girl. Hopefully, we won’t have a repeat tonight at the party.”

Joe is the drummer of his own band Gracefall. He lands in LA and calls the one person who will be happy with the news he just got. Then he goes and invites her to come on the road with them. The quote I chose for Joe is: “No, I promised myself I’d give you some alone time. Grab a nap, call room service, whatever you like.”

Highly recommended for New Adult Romance.

Tenacious: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards #6) by Via Mari

Not my first read by Mari. Tenacious is a great read. The Billionaire Bodyguards Series is amazing. Each book gets better and better. You can read as a standalone, but you’ll see characters from other books.

Allie thinks that it’s safe enough to drop the bodyguards. The thing is that she doesn’t know who is paying for it. She finds herself falling for Nick, but isn’t sure what to do. The quote I chose for Allie is: “Sounds like a six -car pileup on the other side of the city and the roads are getting ice-covered. They sent in the jaws of life and helicopter. They’ll be bringing the victims to Central Hospital as soon as they can get them out of the wreckage, so I need to be there when they get there. The department is already short-staffed and running with temp nurses and Friday night traffic on a good weather day can take forever.”

Nick is finding it hard to stay away from Allie. It’s been a while since he’s felt anything like for anyone. The quote I chose for Nick is: “It wasn’t easy finding a parking spot tonight. Sheldon and Lexie aren’t too far away. Should we take a seat with the others while we wait to find out what the big announcement is all about?”

Highly recommended for contemporary Romance lovers.

The Girl and the Demon : YA Paranormal Romance (The Girl and the Raven #3) by Pauline Gruber

Not the first book I’ve read by Gruber. This is the third book in The Girl and the Raven Series. The Girl and The Demon is an amazing book.

Lucy is missing her father and she doesn’t want Marcus to leave. She isn’t sure where her dad went, but she isn’t going to stop looking for him. Now not only is Marcus leaving, but her uncles are finally getting married. The quote I chose for Lucy is: “That’s nice of you. I will keep you posted once I know when Jude will be home.”

Marcus doesn’t want to leave Lucy when he goes to meet the coven. He thinks that once everything is settled then he can go back to being normal. Then Lucifer comes along and now the one he loves is in danger. The quote I chose for Marcus is: “The council is taking a hard position with my mother. They believe she and Garret were equally responsible. They want somebody’s head. Since Garret’s dead, they are going after her.”

Highly recommended for YA Fantasy lovers.

Forever: A Diamond Doms Novel by Ivy Nelson

This is not the first book by Nelson that I’ve read. It’s also not the first Diamond Doms novel I’ve read. The Diamond Doms Series can be read as standalones or in order.

Russell had one job to do and that was to keep Holly and her friend Gemma safe. Then her husband comes up dead and they aren’t sure why. Russell starts to have feelings for Gemma. The quote I chose for Russell is: “I’m sorry, Gemma. I won’t call you that again. If you’ll excuse me, I’ve left someone waiting.”

Gemma is wanting out of the marriage. Then he shows up dead and Russell is the one who told her. She has feelings for Russell, but isn’t exactly sure what his feelings are for her. The quote I chose for Gemma is: “No. Idiot. I’m saying our marriage is not the traditional love story. We aren’t in love, we don’t have sex, and we will never have children. In fact, before our lives blew up, we were on the path to lining things up for a divorce. Enough time had passed that it wouldn’t harm either family.”

Highly recommended for Dark Romance lovers.

The Last Danann (Titanian Chronicles Book 3) by Victoria Saccenti

This is another wonderful novel by Saccenti. The Last Danann is a great read and I can’t wait for the next one. Titanian Chronicles is a great series.

Kailen is a great friend of Soren and we got to meet him in the last book. He is the last Danann and isn’t sure if he’s ever going to find his mate. The quote I chose for Kailen is: “No thanks are necessary, Lord.”

Talaith doesn’t want to feel emotions for Kailen but she does. When her Master shows up and tells her that he may or may not send her on a new mission. The quote I chose for Talaith is: “I left when he started grilling her. Maya is no one’s fool, and with Soren’s mind-to-mind guidance, she won’t be tricked into revealing the Simurgh lightning.”

Maya is human and is in for a shock. She is kidnapped along with her godmother. What she doesn’t know is that her life may be changing for the better. The quote I chose for Maya is: “Are you hurt? Are you hurt? The sounds were horrible. What was that disgusting green liquid? Zeus is back to normal too. I’m so happy, so relieved.”

Soren didn’t think he would ever find his mate. Then he gets the shock of his life when she shows up at the bar he’s at. She was told to look for him, meaning something is wrong. The quote I chose for Soren is: “That’s my mate, and she needs me. I’m going to help her. Now.”
