Sweet Dreams by Claire (Capture the Light, #2)Sweet Dreams by Claire by Nanette Littlestone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a lovely book. It’s definitely a quirky romance novel but it’s also relatable. Claire has major insecurities and she’s living her mom’s dream. This novel wasn’t just about her falling in love but discovering herself and I really enjoyed that aspect. I got so involved in the story I was shouting out at Claire’s mother and at Finn the entire book lol. Highly recommend.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 2) by April Moran – Review by Amber Howard

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the playlist at the beginning of the book. I also love that each chapter has a quote at theme beginning. Book 2 was even more entertaining than the first. There’s always the fear that King will go back on his word but seeing how much he really does care about her and does his best to protect her is endearing. He’s changing for the better. The cruelty of Kings brothers was intense and I felt Ava’s fear. So trigger warning to anyone who has trauma around violence.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love enemy to lovers stories and this one hit the mark. It’s steamy and the moments they have are unpredictable. King and Ava fight so hard not to want each other. But it seems to be a losing battle. I cannot wait to read book two.

I enjoyed Tropic Heat. It was fun. Steamy and interesting. I really liked Daniel. He is a stand up guy. The Claire story was unexpected. Definitely a good read. Weird that on flamingo island there aren’t any flamingos though, maybe one of the other books will explain why.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked the book. I’m glad the mystery behind Sophie’s disappearance wasn’t something terrible. The chemistry between Lela and Hamish was spot on. I also could relate to Lela. Feeling like you got to be the peace maker in the family all the time and putting your life on hold to do so. It’s a good read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m such a fan of this author. The creativeness of her stories really knows no bounds. Like who would have ever thought a crime boss and alien crossover would be so good? It’s exciting, hot, and a page turner. there’s plenty of action and the only complaint I’d have is that it wasn’t longer. It’s definitely a great read.

Orenda (The Latitude)Orenda by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Orenda is the second book in the Latitude Series. I love the writing style of this author. It’s easy for me to get lost in the story. It feels natural. This series gets you thinking. I believe somewhere at the end of the book it said the Orenda is an Iroquois belief that all natural objects and people possess a mystical energy. I personally believe that’s true. I think everyone has gift and some people use it more than others some people can tap into it and some ppl choose to ignore it. I think Caitlin uses her gift very well in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t know what it is about Christmas romances that makes my week but this book definitely did that. This is the first work by this author that I’ve read. I’m eager to go back and read the other books in the series now. I’ve read a few other books centered around the Amish community and I’ve seen a few movies however I am no expert so I appreciated the glossary. I enjoyed reading about Anne and Andy. They seem perfect for each other. It’s definitely a feel good story and I highly recommend it.

The Christmas Carousel (The Brass Ring Series, Book 2)The Christmas Carousel by K.L. Small
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great story! I loved it more than the first one. Rusty is such a great kid. His character is so relatable. He’s struggling with his grandpa having Alzheimer’s, his father losing his job and understanding the true meaning of Christmas. I think the author did an amazing job tying in the religious traditions of Christmas with the secular traditions of Christmas. It was well written. My adult self teared up at some of the adventures Rusty experienced. It was heartwarming, meaningful and a great reminder of what’s important. I cannot wait to read this to my little one. Oh and the glossary and explanations at the end is great for kids to understand topics they may not know about.

This is the 9th book in the Series. Yet again Logan finds herself in the mist of crime and violence. The more she tries to solve it the more she gains a target on her back.

Logan is in the wrong profession. She should consider being a detective or police officer at this point lol. I’m glad we got to meet Olivia and I’m glad Logan has someone else to call family. I’m also amazed at the knowledge the author has gathered to write these books. They seem so real.

Logan is such an amazing person. To have dealt with her unfaithful husband’s death. Starting over again, new relationship, and everything that happened with her daughter. My heart beat so fast towards the end of the book. So much happened in such a short time. I’m glad everything worked out for Lori and Shannon.

Seems like every book starts off with a glimpse of some event in time and we see how it plays out in the future. I enjoy seeing Logan make friends and perhaps find something long lasting with Ben. He’s such a great guy. I also love how nature centered the books seem to be. The scenery descriptions place such vivid images in my mind. Another great read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

House of Blood and Whispers was a thrilling adventure. It was full of action, heat, and drama. I quickly read this story. It was easy to get sucked into the romance and plan to take out the emperor. I’m guessing there will be a sequel because a few things were talked about in the book that were left unfinished. I need answers lol. I thought it was well written. Something anyone could get into. There are a few triggering topics in the story so definitely prepare yourself if you need to.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At first the story was a a tad slow for me to get into. But the more I read about Simon “Fennimore” Shaw, the more I needed to read. When he started his trip there was such an innocence about him. He learned so much about himself. He loved and lost. Although his quest only lasted a year. He became a man. I’m so glad I got a chance to read this story. I loved that it was written with the feel of a diary. It felt honest and sincere.

Eek! I love this series so much. I couldn’t wait for this book to come out. First off the cover is so beautiful. Immediately catches the eye. Secondly I love the romances in the story and how we see them thrive in each book. Alice is probably my Favorite character so far. She’s the black sheep of the family and has a lot on her shoulders bearing that weight. It was great seeing her growth and putting down roots. Definitely a good read!

This was an interesting tale. Two worlds completely opposite of each other. But there’s a pull from both Arryn and Rowan want to be apart of the others world. Two polar opposites finding love where they least expect it. They both showed bravery and it was great to see their growth. It was both romantic and quite a journey. I have a ton of questions and hope they will be answered in the next installment.

This was a fantastic take on Christmas. I loved the roll of the Claus’s and elves and how it differed from the tales we grew up on. The romance was perfect and I found myself falling in love with the characters while they were falling in love with each other. The scenery was described beautifully. Emerald Hollow sounds like a fairy tail. I really hope there’s a sequel or a prequel. I have so many questions that need to be answered. If you love Christmas you’ll love this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve read every book this author has put out so far and this by far is the best one. Although I’ve read enjoyed all of them, this one had an extra emotional element tied to it that drew me in. It does touch upon death and a few other sensitive topics. it has action, drama, romance, and sci-fi. The character development of Camden is superb. The plot twists are fantastic. To the author, I’m so glad you didn’t listen when they told you this book wasn’t good. It may be the best book I’ve read this year so far. I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!

This was the best book in the series thus far. It gave me everything I need in a supernatural romance novel. First off the romance between Kodiak and Tam is hot. The chemistry is felt throughout the book. They are both strong minded people but they match each other. There is plenty of action in the story and the info they learn about the blood opal is interesting. I’d definitely recommend this story to anyone who enjoys supernatural romance.
