The quote I chose for Mia is: “You’re in really bad shape. What did you do? Sense I was upset and drag yourself out of your hospital bed to come to save me?”
Castor goes to do a rescue mission. He thinks Mia will be let free but that isn’t the case. Now he’s got to figure out how to get them both out of there alive. Can he do that without getting himself killed. The quote I chose for Castor is: “You are lovable, Mia Grey. So very lovable. Stop thinking the worst. I know it’s a lot for you to open yourself up to this kind of love. I know that you’re vulnerable, but I’m asking you to stop being afraid . If you really think about it, do you believe I would want you to ever leave my side unless it was for a good reason? I love you. Please, don’t shut me out.”

Benji finds a place in her heart and she’s devastated when she learns Benji is sick. The quote I chose for Ellawyn is: “Because right now, I’m broken, Beckett. I feel like I’ve been shattered into a million pieces, and I don’t even know where to begin to piece it all back together again. I need to help myself before I can let you back in. This is just what I need to do for me. I won’t feel safe in Quimby Grove, or in my apartment, for a while. I need to work through it first.”

I actually felt a little silly doing this, but it seemed right.”

Burned by Fire isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s a Firehouse 13 Book and it’s an amazing read. You really like Firehouse Romance then you’ll like this.
Sol used to be a firefighter until he was injured. He saved two kids from a burning building while he was off duty. He doesn’t like being called a hero because he doesn’t feel like one. Then Ember comes into his life and changes it. The quote I chose for Sol is: “It’s a bit like my situation. Everyone thinks I’m a hero for saving those kids, but when I look in the mirror all I see are the scars. I don’t see their futures.”
Ember has always had a crush on her former mentor and firehouse buddy. She’s even collected the charity calendars the firehouse makes because of him. When he comes by and they get stuck in the elevator she confesses her feelings for him. She isn’t expecting to start a life with him. The quote I chose for Ember is: “I look up to you because you’re fearless. You moved away from your hometown as soon as you were old enough and went after your dreams. You’re not my hero because you’ve saved lives. You’re my hero because you inspire me to be better.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Love is Worth Fighting for (The Meraki Series #3) by Effie Kammenou
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Love is Worth Fighting for is the third book in The Meraki Series. I’ve read the other two books in the series and this one is by far my favorite.

Will they work it out or will it end horribly? The quote I chose for Kristina is: “Inscribed? I didn’t even know that could be done. Forever my Minnie. Loukas. This is the most thoughtful gift ever! I’ll have to savor these so I don’t finish them off too quickly. And I’ll have to keep at least one as a souvenir.”
Loukas has always loved Krystina and might finally get his chance. They get Covid and have to be stuck in the same house 24/7. The quote I chose for Loukas is: “Considering Minnie finally admitted she didn’t hate me after all, I’d say the year ended up okay for me.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

PREMEDITATED: A Trust Betrayed Christian Suspense (Agents of Justice Series #2) by Susanna Haymond

Will he and his partner figure it out before it’s too late? The quote I chose for Grant is: “The only thing we have to go on is the wife. We need to check her out. We need to be careful when questioning her. If she’s innocent and she thinks we’re accusing her of her husband’s death, it’s going to get sticky.”
Josh is Grant’s partner and loves his job. The two of them have to figure out what’s going on before it’s too late. The wife may not be the only one involved in the death of her husband.

This is the first book in A Dark Sparrow Series. This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but it won’t be my last. Kells has really done a great job writing this.

The quote I chose for Deva is: “I agree. And I couldn’t stop thinking about what Finch and my father had said. All those speeches about patience, about preparing for war.

She finds herself going back to the past. The quote I chose for Zoe is: “You had love in your life, and even if you struggled and battled through some tough times, you had a choice to do something with it. Grabbing that power. I will never judge you for the decisions you made, that path on the dark side. I would have done the same thing. Hell, I’m doing it right now. At least love brought you back. You always have a choice, Archer. Never forget that.”

The quote I chose for Liam is: “I never played you, in any way, Catriona. I’ve never liked deception. When I kissed you, it was because I couldn’t help myself. If Deva hadn’t barged in, things would’ve gone further than a kiss. I only stopped because I think you’re making a mistake.”
Catriona, very close to becoming a nun, is brought to Chicago to help a family out. With the eldest brother being in a coma she does what she can. When she uncovers something she runs, but she saves someone else. The quote I chose for Catriona is: “We’re on this earth to make mistakes. Do you think that’s the first time I’ve ever thought about being with a man, sleeping with one? When you choose a path, you have to relinquish several more. No one goes into a religious life without considering that, otherwise, the weight of the commitment would break you in two. I haven’t slept with anyone because each time I was convinced it was the wrong decision, until you.”

I see honor in you, a protector of your brothers. You may have reached the end of your rope that night, but I believe your strength is still greater than your pain. I don’t care that I don’t know everything about you. I think that for the moment, staying alive is the only solution we have.”

I want nothing from you, just the reassurance that you’re all right.”
King Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel #6 by India Kells
This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. The Dark Sparrow Novels get better each one I read. King Bastard is by the far the best and we get to learn more about the head guy.

Sasha came into his life when it was at his lowest and she just might be the best thing that has happened to him.

The quote I chose for Jim is: “Not around here.” I tried another sip and made another face. “Look, people believe all kinds of crap. I just know that most of its BS. Nature spirits are real. There used to be water spirits around before so many of the marshes dried up. Stars are just stars but there’s something holy about them too. Bones. Mountains. I don’t understand all this religious stuff either. How do you expect me to have all the answers? You’re ghosts. That hasn’t given you any great insights, has it?”

The quote I chose for Levi is: “The money. What? I know it isn’t as honorable as yours. I’m good at arguing and it was kind of just something I fell into. No family obligation or anything like that. I’m good at it and I knew I could make a shit ton of money doing it.”
Kindle is a divorce lawyer and works her butt off to do what she wants. She loves riding her bikes, but to do that she has to work hard. When she meets Levi she turns him down. Now he’s her assistant and she can’t help her feelings. The quote I chose for Kindle is: “I have to deal with petty fights from time to time, but there are cases like the one you just helped me with that makes me feel good about helping others. Why did you pick law?”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. This book is a great read, but I’m not going to ruin who she gets with. Caging Grave is the first book in The Grace Series.
Grace has always fought since she was young. First in Underground Cage Fighting and then UFC. Underground because she needed to keep a roof over her family’s head. Now thanks to her gym owner she finds herself a new deal. The quote I chose for Grace is: “Why do I have a feeling that’s only the beginning? Trust is big with me, O’Malley. Once it’s gone, we’re done. Get me? I want full disclosure on everything.”
Johnny is Grace’s trainer after she becomes an ambassador for a clothing line which requires UFC. He has also had a rough childhood so he connects with Grace on a level no one else understands. The quote I chose for Johnny is: “You’ve already won, Grace. You’ve come face to face with your own demons, and you’ve come out on top. You’ve given yourself the right to hope, the chance to dream. Don’t allow fear to steal your dream from you. You’ve never let fear win before, so don’t start now.”
Dar is a Harvard graduate and working out at Grace’s gym. He catches Grace’s eye and figures out that he can do a whole lot better than he is now. The quote I chose for Dar is: “You were a child, Grace, and sadly those types of accidents happen in the ring. You have no penance to pay. Even if you did, don’t you think you’ve paid it by now?”

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s also the first book in the series that I’ve read. The True Garza is a fantastic read and leaves you wanting more. It’s the third book in the Red Cage Series.
London, Lonny, is back in LA for the first time since her dad has died. The fling she had in Denver follows her home. London falls hard for Trueman but does not want to get hurt. The quote I chose for London is: “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were avoiding me, True Garza.”
Trueman Mateo Garza doesn’t do dates, and he doesn’t buy women things. He’s known as a womanizer. He has ADHD and can’t focus on much. That’s until London comes back into his life. The quote I chose for True is: “They know that I’m madly, truly, insanely, out-of-breath, irrevocably, inconceivably, ridiculously, unequivocally in love with you, Lonny Bridge.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

A Long Kiss Goodbye: A Romantic Paranormal Suspense (Onyx & Mercury #2) by H.D. Thomson
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. A Long Kiss Goodbye is an amazing read. This is the second book in the Onyx and Mercury Series. I have not read the first book in the series, but I will be looking for it.
Avery is attacked and then the murders start to happen. She doesn’t want to leave her house. She doesn’t know who to trust. She can’t trust friends, neighbors, family, or cops. The quote I chose for Avery is: “I promised myself I wouldn’t complain. Compared to my last job, they offer far better insurance, which kicks in next month. But it’s going to be challenging. I won’t lie. I’m just going to have to learn to compartmentalize better than I ever have being a social worker. I can’t let my clients’ lives emotionally cripple me. Otherwise, I won’t be a help to anyone.”
Luys knows Avery as he’s her neighbor and they’re friendly. He knows that she’s been attacked and can’t help but seem to be protective. The quote I chose for Luys is: “Yes, I can see that. I’m glad I didn’t listen to you and brought over some to-go meals from a nearby restaurant the last couple of days. Orange juice and eggs. Not sure I can whip anything up with that. I guess I could fix you an omelet with egg as your only ingredient.”
Highly recommended for Paranormal Romantic Suspense lovers.

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Everything to Me is the second book in the Playing for Keeps Series. Everything to Me is a fantastic read.
Kendall is in town for a week and will be staying with her crush. She was hoping the crush would be over with, but then he opens the door. That changes everything. The quote I chose for Kendall is: “Oh my god, did you seriously just say that?” Kendall scoffed. “Take advantage of me, because the poor little lady couldn’t possibly know her own mind. Believe me, Pete. I know my own mind and if I f*** a guy, it’s because I want to f*** him. Not because I’m so naïve he’s tricked me into it.”
Peter has always thought Kendall was pretty. He didn’t realize how good looking she would get as she grew up. He was thinking of the teenager Kendall. The quote I chose for Peter is: “Torrey Pines, it’s not a hard hike at all, but I think you’ll like it. The path walks along the bluffs and overlooks the water. With the breeze off the ocean, and the birds, it’s always really nice, peaceful, even when it’s busy, which it shouldn’t be too bad today.”

Besides, he had girls hitting on him all night. He doesn’t need me.”
Nate has got it bad for Bree. He likes that she is up front and blunt about what she wants. It takes eight months before he finally gets the girl. The quote I chose for Nate is: “I’m sorry. I know we’ve only been dating a few months, but I can’t hold it in any longer. I love you. I’m sorry if it’s weird, but I think that’s only because we’ve been friends for so long, and we have so much fun, and we’re so good together. I mean, you freak out and get mad at me, but those times make me love you even more.”

Hailey goes to meet her dad, only she doesn’t call Allen her dad. She falls for Trey but can’t let it be known as she doesn’t want to get her heart broken. The quote I chose for Hayley is: “So you took on his crisis rather than tell him to shove it? He could have gone to the cops. I don’t understand why you got involved. It seems like this is more of a headache for you.”
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Captivated is the first book in the Hybrid Lovers Series. The author has outdone themselves by writing this book.
