Lake of Flowers (The Lord Hani Mysteries #5) by N.L Holmes

This is another fantastic read by N.L Holmes. The Lord Hani Mysteries is a series I highly recommend. Each book keeps getting better and better.

Hani is once again put in the middle of something that doesn’t involve him. The Queen needs his help, but then he’s put in a dangerous spot. His daughter is also put in the middle of the same mess. The quote I chose Hani is: “I don’t know. There’ll almost certainly be an uprising as soon as the king dies. That may be the moment this whole bizarre experiment falls apart. I can’t imagine there are many real believers. Most people, like our Aha, are committed only to please the king and advance their careers.”

Highly recommended for Historical Mystery lovers.

Vanessa is not the normal person people think her to be. She seems to have caught the attention of three immortals. Grey, Aroz, and Raef. The quote I chose for Vanessa is: “Hm. Speaking of doing without, would you mind if I take a day off next week? I need to visit some specialists in the city about Piper.”

Grey is the top dog of the Underworld. Vanessa is something he wants. The only question is though is can he share. He’s not the only one wanting her. The quote I chose for Grey is: “How many boys did you say work for him?”

Moonlit Kiss : A Venice Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by McKinley. Moonlit Kiss is a page-turner. It had me hooked from the beginning.

Gianna is going to Venice to restore a painting. When she arrives she meets the ghost of the artist who painted the mural she’s restoring. She soon learns the history behind the mural. The quote I chose for Gianna is: “I did. She’s doing much better, especially since Francesca moved in. I think the loneliness was getting to be too much for her.”

Sergio is a neurosurgeon and is there when Gianna almost falls into the canal. There he feels like he knows her although they just met. He can’t explain it, but he can’t let her go back to the states. The quote I chose for Sergio is: “ That woman causes all my instincts to flare. I don’t doubt that you’re right.

Mountains Wanted (Mountains Series Book 1) by Phoebe Alexander

This isn’t the first book by Alexander I’ve read. This new series is great and I loved every minute of it. Mountains Wanted is the first book in the Mountain Series.

Sarah is a single mom to two wonderful kids. Meeting James at a sub place she couldn’t keep him off her mind. When she meets him again a few days later things change. The quote I chose for Sarah is: “With all due respect, let’s say your life is on the line in the heat of battle. Would you rather have a gay soldier who is one hundred percent focused and loyal to his fellow soldiers by your side, or a straight soldier whose mind is nowhere near the battlefield? The truth of the matter is people have the ability to be professional and put their recreational and sexual desires aside when needed. This ability has absolutely nothing to do with sexual orientation. It has everything to do with integrity and work ethic.”

James is home for good. He’s teaching ROTC and encourages his students to attend Sarah’s lecture. When he meets her one on one he can’t keep her off his mind. The quote I chose for James is: “Being deployed in a war zone, it’s obviously not like everyday life. In order for the men to stay focused, accomplish their missions and stay alive, it requires—more than anything else—mental discipline. If an individual loses focus and doesn’t see something they ought to have seen, it may not only get them injured but the person next to them as well. It’s imperative to keep distractions to a minimum. It’s focus and discipline that make the difference between frightened boys and professional soldiers who get the job done. That’s also why drinking and sex are discouraged while deployed.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Especially when things with Jordan didn’t work out. The quote I chose for Xia is: “He told me, Jordan. I asked him if he cheated and he didn’t deny it. He just looked … guilty. God, Jordan. What the hell?”

Jordan has always thought about the benefits with Xia, but doesn’t think she feels the same. He doesn’t think twice when she kisses him. Then he breaks her heart. The quote I chose for Jordan is: “Come on, you know I’m not going to let you face this alone. It’s what we do for each other, right?”

When he learns that she’s in trouble he helps her out. Why wouldn’t he, she is his after all. The quote I chose for Dane is: “Clearly. If you want to go and live Mila’s life, Dad shouldn’t stop you.

I haven’t seen this man in a year. And it’s been what, six months since you stopped talking to me?”

Josh is Tamara’s dog Nightfall, but he’s not a dog. He’s a wolf shifter. Tamara is his mate and now that he’s found her he won’t let her go. The jealous streak hits him like a freight train. The quote I chose for Josh is: “Today was absolutely miserable for me. I’m deeply in love with you, Tamara. You’re the one for me, the only one.

Due 5/7 Murder at Honeybee Lake (Shadow of a Doubt #2) by Jessica Akien Hall

This is another great series by Akien-Hall. She knows how to bring the stories to life. Her characters seem to come to life and I love that.

Mandy is an author who writes romance. Her wife Emily is supportive of the work. When she gets a disturbing phone call from her brother things get freaky. The quote I chose for Mandy is: “Well, it’s not like pre-baby Tessa, but you know how it is. She’s got her hands full. And now that Tommy’s back to work I bet she’s even more exhausted.”

Randy is finding himself after a horrible past relationship. When his boyfriend finds a dead body things go south. When things point back to him his sister steps in. The quote I chose for Randy is: “Of course. I love you Benjamin Davis. Everything is going to be alright. Don’t you worry.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Crime lovers.

Relentless: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards #4) by Via Mari

This is another fantastic read by Mari. The Billionaire Bodyguards Series is fantastic. This just keeps getting better each book I read. This is the fourth book in this series.

Dereck is helping a buddy out. When he finds himself falling for a friend of his buddy’s girl. He wants to help out and he wants to keep her safe. The quote I chose for Dereck is: “I’ll get you to a safe place, but close enough to see what’s going on. We’re short men, so I need to focus on the task at hand, and if you’re in danger, my focus will be on you. Put this in, Layla. You’ll be plugged into the team chat. Stay off the line unless you need something. I know how much this means to you, and for the record, I wouldn’t have really left you home if you hadn’t been listening, but you would be watching from a safe place and not in the middle of a fucking mafia war zone if it were up to me.”

Layla is trying to do what she thinks is right. When she finds herself falling for the hottie. She isn’t sure what’s going to happen now, but she’ll go with the flow. The quote I chose for Layla is: “You didn’t need to, papi. But don’t worry. See, I’m a big girl, and men like you don’t intimidate me. I can handle any shade you throw.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Suspense lovers.

5/5 Stars

Queen Of My Heart (Life Won’t Wait Book 1) by Nikki Lynn Barrett

This is not the first book I’ve read by Barrett. Queen of my Heart is an amazing read. This page turner is amazing. It combines my favorite things. Country music, books, fairy tales, and Nashville.

Quinn moved to Nashville after the last time her character was killed off. She moves in hopes of getting a music deal. She wants to provide a better life for her niece. The quote I chose for Quinn is: “For once, I wish I could live a fairy tale life. You’re saving me so I can help my family, and now that I’m here around yours, I wonder how I can walk away after this is said and done without a broken heart. I’ve never had this kind of family togetherness time. Never. And I’ve never wanted anyone to sweep me off my feet before. I still don’t, but you’re slowly changing my mind.”

Tucker is the next country music star. He has had a horrible past. When he meets Quinn it’s after she sings one of his songs. He helps her out when things get tough and falls in love. The quote I chose for Tucker is: “Seems I have a big star in my presence. I’d be honored if you’d let me be your tour guide through Music City. The tour includes some ins and outs of the music scene, lunch with a country star whom you might have heard of- Tucker McGinnis? I might be able to get him to meet you. Oh, and there might be some flirting involved. But in the end run, I’m hoping for a great day and a yes from you. Maybe a little one on one on a six string.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.
