My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was awesome!! I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump these past few weeks and haven’t been able to read a story all the way through. This one was different though. I couldn’t put it down. Matthias and Ava were such good main characters and enjoyed their story. The growth of the characters was much needed and awesome to see. A little angst but I enjoyed the story alot. I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future!!
Happy Reading!!

Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals, #3)Sleeping with the Enemy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sleeping with the Enemy isn’t the first book that i have read by this author and it won’t be the last. I enjoy this authors writing style and i when i saw this was a forced marriage trope i couldn’t get my hands on it fast enough. The fact that it is also enemies to lovers/mafia/second chance is just icing on the cake.
The main character were great! The banter & the chemistry its off the charts & the love/hate relationship between this is full of spice! I enjoyed their story a lot and i am looking forward to reading more by this author soon!

A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley, #1)A Toast for Laurent by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This romance story was enjoyable and it was a great way to be introduced to this author! The main characters were good and but I liked Laurent a lot more than I liked Phoebe. He was extremely sweet and she had more growth as a person to do than he did! This was a second chance romance and its been a while since I’ve read that trope and I am happy that I picked this one up. I am looking forward to more by this author in the future!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the continuation of Damon and Skylar’s story and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one! I enjoyed them a lot and this author writes their stories in a way that pulls me into the story and I couldn’t put it down! They had so many ups and downs and many of their moments weren’t pretty ones. I was rooting for them from the very beginning and I really enjoyed their story! I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future and I would recommend to anyone that loves a good angsty high school romance.

This book was cute. It is the second book in the series and can be read as a standalone but some of the main characters are from Book one so I think reading these in order would give the best reading experience possible.
This book was cute and a funny romcom and I enjoyed the authors writing style.
I am looking forward to more by this author in the future.

The Hussar's Duty (The Winged Warrior #3)The Hussar’s Duty by Griffin Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This isn’t the first book by this author that i have read and it won’t be the last. The main character has to make a life altering decision to either defend his country or his family. The honor ad devotion this main character had was great and i enjoyed their story a lot. The book can be read as a standalone and but after reading this one i think i will go back and read the two previous books because I enjoy the authors writing style and this is a good pallet cleanser book for me because I normally don’t read this genre. I enjoyed this one and i would recommend to a friend!

This was a good second chance romance that I enjoyed reading this weekend. It was a steamy story that pulled me in and I couldn’t put down. The chemistry was fire and it was a MMF story and that made it even more steamy. I thought the author had a good writing style and I am looking forward to more by them in the future!!

I was interested to see that there was another book in this series following Ian and Jarryd. They were such interesting characters. The past comes back to haunt them and the action scenes were great.

Sleeping LoveSleeping Love by Natalina Reis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a interesting retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Retellings are stories I enjoy because I like to see how authors make a well known story their own. The main characters in this were names Ayo and Yi. They had a sweet MM romance that was very angsty more times than not and just an fyi this story isn’t written in the 1st person so it was a little harder to connect than my normal stories but you got more sides of the story besides just the thoughts of the two mc’s. I thought the characters were good and their overall story was interesting!

Hero Complex is the 3rd book in the Bluestone series and the MC’s are Ivy And Ace! I liked this fast paced read and I adored the characters! They start a fake relationship to keep unwanted advances away and I absolutely love that trope so I jumped on this book as soon as I read the synopsis. It was a such a cute story and I enjoyed the authors writing style. I am looking forward to more by this author in the future!

Afflicted LoveAfflicted Love by Autumn Sand
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Afflicted Love is the first book in the Rhythm & Heart series and it is a MM dark romance. This emotion filled book kept me intrigued but also kind of ping ponged back and forth with enough angst, i got whiplash. Other than that I thought it was a good but dark book that goes through the many hard emotions and pain that the main characters experience. I enjoyed this authors writing style and the story overall even if it ended in a massive cliffhanger that left me with a lot of questions but eager to read more. I would recommend this to someone that like a more angsty dark read!
Looking forward to more by this author!

Savage Truth: A Dark High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 2)Savage Truth: A Dark High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Savage Truth is the second book in this series and directly follows book one, so this cannot be read as a standalone. This is the conclusion to Riley and Cole’s Story who we met in book one. I really enjoyed their story even if i wanted to smack them occasionally. The author pulled me in and made the main characters interesting even when they were being total wankers. There was drama, suspense and with danger just around the corner no one could relax. This was a little angsty for my taste but i enjoyed the story overall and was eager to see how some of the “who’s and what’s” questions that book one left me with. I am looking forward to more books by this author in the future!

Just One Time (Beaumont Creek, #1)Just One Time by Samantha Baca
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a best friends to lovers romance about a woman named Abby who just turned 40 and is desperate to start a family. He best friend Nate seems like the perfect place to looking for help, It could be a one time thing/hookup and if it doesn’t work then she could move on to more expensive, less convenient options. But Nate has feelings for Abby and of course she has no clue. Secrets, miscommunication and other things made this story all the more complicated and exciting to read. I really liked Abby and Nate and I enjoyed reading the ups and downs that were included in the pages of their story.
I am looking forward to more by this author in the future!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Chase Care series and I liked it just as much as the previous books. It can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading this series from the start. There was a little bit of everything in this book, it has suspense, drama, romance and action. I want to say its my favorite of the series but they have all been good. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys a suspenseful romance that has couple who gets snowed in and has a hard time ignoring the mutual attraction while trying to solve a mystery! I am looking forward to the next book in this series and I cant wait to read other books by this author as well.

This was a really good novella. This is a new to me author but i thought the blurb sounded interesting. This was a good introduction to the series and it was only 50 pages so i read it in one setting. This ended in a cliffhanger but I don’t mind because I am looking forward to reading more and seeing where this series/story goes. I would recommend this to anyone that likes bully romances.

Hot For Me (The Balefire Series Book 4)Hot For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rockstar Romances… gotta love them! And this one was a good one. Adam and Cristy are our main characters and I liked them a lot. They found love even when they were exactly looking for it and they had to work for it because it didn’t come easily. The past was knocking on their door and tried to throw everything out the window but they persevered and I really liked that about them. This is the 4th book in the series and each book in the standalone in the series that focuses on a different member of the band. I will have to go back and read the other three books in this series because I liked this authors writing style and I enjoyed this book.
I would recommend this to anyone that like rockstar romances!
