License to Bite (New Orleans Nocturnes, #1)License to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

AHHHH! I absolutely loved reading Carrie Pulkinen’s book Licensed to Bite: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy which is the first book in the series New Orleans Nocturnes. I was excited to read this book as I used to live in Louisiana and LOVE New Orleans and all the paranormal that surrounds it. Jane goes on a girl’s trip to Mardi Gras with a few friends, she didn’t realize she would end up in the arms of a vampire and wake up as one. The irony of it all this is blood makes her faint so how can she pass this? Can Ethan help her get her license? What comes of these two? I love Jane and Ethan; their banter and chemistry is amazing. This story was addicting from the first chapter and I can’t wait to read more of this series!

Endless Night (Dylan Hart #2)Endless Night by R.M. Gilmore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Endless Nights by R.M. Gilmore is the second book in the Dylan Hart series which is a paranormal suspense book. I fell in love with the first book and this book didn’t disappoint. Dylan is still her sarcastic, sassy self and she ends up biting off more than she can handle. After going on a trip with her an old acquaintance to New Orleans she finds herself upsetting the wrong people. Can she survive this foe? I recommend reading these in order but worth the read! They are packed with suspense, action, mystery and will keep you biting your nails in anticipation on what will happen next while reading.

The author has a way of bringing this story to life where you feel like you are there witnessing it all at least that’s how I felt. These two still have mountains to overcome but will they be able to or will this be the end of their relationship?

The Bar Next Door is the first book in the Barflies series by Katia Rose and I loved every minute of reading it. It is a RomCom book which I mean with that alone you can’t go wrong. This book was an easy read and I found myself unable to put the book down. The characters in this story were written great and you couldn’t help but love them. Monroe, she is sassy, smart and such a strong woman and then you have Julien who is a sexy Frenchman who is charming. The chemistry between these two is hot!

Mountains Climbed (Mountains, #2)Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander was the second installment to the series and it does not disappoint. This book continues to follow Lt. James McAllister and Dr. Sarah Lynde in a steamy, page turner that keeps you on your toes. James is deployed and can only think of Sarah even though he knows he shouldn’t as he is engaged to another. Sarah has a new man in her life and as much of a distraction as he is, her thoughts can’t help but wander back to James. These two have so much love for each other but are they destined to be together? What will happen if they see each other again? Did they make the right decisions? This book will make you feel more emotions then you did in the first one. Definitely recommend reading book 1 first as this is a continuation of the first book in this series.

Set it Free (Fallen Eagles Book 3) by T. Birmingham is the third book in an MC romantic suspense book. I had not read the first 2 books and wish I had as I feel like I would understand things that felt like I was missing information. These must be read in order if you don’t want to miss things but it can be read as a standalone. This book is about Spring and Casper aka Cal. Spring has had a traumatic experience in her past and is still struggling to deal with it. She has built sky high walls and is keeping everyone away. Cal doesn’t want to see her go through this, but will she let him? This was an amazing read that I couldn’t put down. The emotions in the books are strong whether it’s the characters emotions you are reading or how you personally take them. I highly recommend this book just be warned there is addiction in this book if that is a trigger for you.

Vampire State by Alexander Charalambides is a paranormal full-length book. I love books about Vampires, and this is one that I see myself reading again multiple times. The main character in this book is Rowena and she has a lot of tough decisions to make after the Pales aka Vampires have taken over. What would you be willing to give up saving your family and yourself? Rowena is by far my favorite character in this book, but you can’t help but like both Vincenzo and Luka also. This book was intriguing it keeps you hooked reading page to page and throws in so many twists and turns you can’t figure out what will happen next. I can’t wait to read more from this author.
