My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Composed is the Eighth book in the Ash Park series by Meghan O’Flynn, I have been reading this series from the beginning and I am hooked. This is probably one of my favorite series to read as it keeps you hooked until the last sentence and you can’t help but sit on the edge of your seat waiting for the next book. However, you should read every book in this series to ensure you understand what has happened. Detective Edward Petrosky is back with a bang and ready to start bringing justice while trying to save the Captains life. Can he beat his demons? Will they catch the killer? This author has a way of writing, so you feel like you know what’s about to happen and then throws you for a loop. Highly recommend this series as you wont be disappointed

Secure Desire (Chase Security Series Book 1)Secure Desire by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Desire by R. L. Dunn was my first read by this author and it is not your typical romance book. I was blown away by much I loved this book and the characters. I sat on the edge of my seat until the last page reading this book. We follow Ian Chase and Cassie Modine in this book, these two had an amazing connection and you cannot help but love them. They both met previously but there were things in the way that kept them from having anything. Fast forward a couple years and will they get their second chance?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Drawn to Him by Tammy Mannersly is the first book I’ve read by this author and won’t be the last, as I loved this book. The way the author writes you feel as if you are there with the characters. This was a fast-paced short romance novel that follows Erica and Matthew. Erica is not looking for love, to many failed attempts tend to do that to a girl. So of course, when she meets Dr Matt after injuring herself and feels the instant attraction, she starts denying it. Dr Matt isn’t looking for love until he meets Erica and she touches him. That single touch ignites a fire in his soul. What will happen between these two? Can Erica give him a chance? I highly recommend you read to find out.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading the book Bird in a Snare (The Lord Hani Mysteries Book 1) by N.L. Holmes. This is a book that has mystery, murder, danger, and is intriguing. This book was written in ancient Egypt and the detail the author added not only to the description of life, but the characters was amazing and off the charts. It truly brought the book to life and made it more enjoyable to read. Hani is sent to investigate a murder and bring back proof to his superiors, so justice is served. But who can he believe and trust? Will he be able to bring back the proof? I recommend reading this book and can’t wait for more.

Forgotten Chance by Virginia Wine is book three of the Forgotten Trilogy, you should read the first two books prior to this one so that you can follow the story. Bryer and Nathan are probably one of my favorite book couples, and in these books you follow their story. Like the others this one did not disappoint, the story line for these two is amazing. I was so excited as its finally time for their wedding but of course the past comes back to throw a few more wrenches in their happiness. Can they overcome this like they have so many other things? You will love this series.

Her and the Vigilante have such hot chemistry its off the charts. Highly recommend this book.

Just the Way You Are by Allison M. Boot was great book to read that is a modern-day fairytale. When I read the synopsis for this story I fell in love and could not read it fast enough. This was my first story by Allison Boot, and it will not be my last that is for sure. Misty is such an amazing character that I came to love. The journey she is on shows how she is such a strong, courageous person and with everything that she deals with being in a wheelchair that even she could become her true self. It’s really an amazing story.

The books in Carrie Pulkinen’s New Orleans Nocturnes series get better each book. Life’s a Witch is the third book in this series and even though it can be read alone I recommend reading it in order.

Unfortunately, this is someone who she cannot beat and ends up making a deal with Mike the demon. What will happen after she makes this deal?
