This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Class Clown sure didn’t cure my fear of clowns but it was funny. The author knows what to do to make readers stick around.
Abbey isn’t the normal everyday girl. She attracts ghosts and now something has followed her home. Who knew clowns could be a pain in the butt? Now she’s got clowns taking over school. The quote I chose for Abbey is: “Have fun. Let me know how many clowns they fit into that little car.”

What roller coaster rides this author took us on. I loved this book because it was taking sharp curves in the moments, I least expected it. True love and fairytales, is there such? Isn’t that what every girl dreams of? Not Reagan, she is simply ready to get on with her life and is not worried about trying to find true love. Then there is Jeremy, who simply is ready to show his father that he can handle the task at hand and is ready to become the big boss…until he spots Reagan in a small diner! These two cross paths and the firework show begins. Will they find true love, or will life and family expectations get in the way? This is one book that I highly recommend reading. It is a quick read with some unexpected twists that will leave you with your mouth wide open!

Really a wrong side of the tracks meets a real true prince charming. Regan is from the south side of Boston working in the run-down diner when the hotshot rich developers stop in for lunch. Regan is fresh off the high school graduation stage just trying to stay out of trouble while making a buck. Jeremy’s family has bought up property on the south side of Boston right across from this little diner. Jeremy and Regan hit it off and the chemistry between the two is H.O.T!! But can two people from different social classes really make it work? Or will the evil truths of social differences keep them apart? The truth will eventually set them free. This is the first book that I have read from this author and I could not put it down. This book was a real page-turner. Most definitely a MUST read!! I can not wait to read more from this author!!

I do not usually give books 5 stars because it is hard to write the perfect book, however G. Colgrove has managed to captivate me from the first page!
These characters are relatable and so easy to fall in love with. Let’s face it almost everyone has thought they were cursed in love at one point or another. I could not put this book down, I loved the story and wanted so much more but the story was complete just the way it was! From the time you meet the characters until the book is over you live the story with them. The author does a fantastic job of keeping you invested!

Josie is a soon to be divorced mother of two pretty sweet kids. Eddie is her soon-to-be ex-husband who is a narcissitic psychopath of a medical doctor turned drug dealer. Josie lives in a cabin that she bought from her parents….or are they?? She loves her little cabin and will do everything she can to protect herself and the kids from Eddie. He’s terrified of the cabin after all so as long as they are there, they’re safe. Word starts to make rounds of a horrible virus infecting the people of China. It’s making it’s way to New York and Josie starts to panic. It’s not the first time she’s panicked over something though. She saw a pink body floating in the river when she was 12 and has never been able to get over it. She saw another one just a few weeks ago but she’s not calling the authorities just yet. Did she really see it or did she just think she did? Travis starts coming into the diner where Josie works and offers to pay her a large sum of money to show him around town. She can really use the money, especially if the diner is to close with a pandemic looming. Things start to warm up between her and Travis and then she learns how much she can lean on him. Can he help her to get Eddie out of her life?
This book is full of twists and turns and really kept me engaged. I read this book in a relatively short period of time because it sucked me in and wouldn’t let go! This is my first read by Tom Swyers but I’ve already started looking into other titles! Be prepared to gasp….I did a few times. That’s rare for me too!! I do hope there is more to this story as I’d like to hear more about Jack and Tracy. I think there is definitely a story there for them that could be expounded on! Please read this one and let me know what YOU think!! Also, recommend more books like this one for me! I appreciate that it’s a psychothriller without all the bad language that you often read!

Regan lives in South Boston and they get called Southies a lot. She hates when anyone called her Southie until Jeremy called her that and the rest was history. She just graduated high school and was going to save up money and help with her family. Jeremy was in town to help with his soon to be company build buildings around South Boston. They meet at the diner she works at and since then they ran into each other again, and kept seeing each other. With both of their families completely the opposite, many obstacle courses are ahead of them. Read to find out how it plays out. Loved and couldn’t put down!

I love the Satan’s Devils MC series of books. The author didn’t disappoint this read with the story of Marvel and Virginia. They both have had a rough life and never expected to find someone in the most unusual of circumstances. You get to catch up with the some of the Satan’s Devils group, which is always a favorite when reading these series. If you haven’t started reading the series that include the Satan’s Devils, do so now, allow them to be apart of you life too, you won’t regret it.

I loved it! I did not want to put it down! Until There Was You was a great romance. Rich Guy/Poor Girl story line but it worked well. Reminds me a lot of when I watched Pretty in Pink when I was younger, just these characters are a little bit older than high school. Well at least one of them is. Regan, a Southie, from one of roughest neighborhoods in Boston. Jeremy, a rich California guy, fell in love with Boston when he was in college. Jeremy grows so much during this story it’s wonderful to see unfold. He’s definitely a surprising character at moments. Regan was frustrating at times. I understood why it had to be that way though. She grew as well but I think Jeremy’s character grew more throughout the book. Again I loved it and it’s a wonderful story for anyone who likes this kind of romance.

Abbey is the most lovable quirky character in this breathtaking novel about these scary clowns. This book was a really fun read, and as a girl COMPLETELY AFRAID of the movie IT, I am taken aback by this fact. I have been reading many types of books lately, including books about the history of racism…so I was not afraid while reading this book. I recommend not picturing what is going on to deeply, this certainly kept me safe while reading this entire book. The author is fantastic at telling the story, so much so I read all the way through to the acknowledgements, and it did not disappoint. The great thing about this book is it felt so realistic and haunting, and you truly believe Abbey, and feel like this could happen to you if you had this hidden strength she possesses. Here is another book on my highly recommended list of reads. I will say this, I am SUPER happy I did not see this in a movie, though it is movie worthy. I promise myself I won’t even try to see it in the theaters! Happy reading everyone!
This story proves fairy tales and happily ever after’s truly exist!. 2 people driven and fueled by everything but love end up enraptured by each other. Not expecting to feel what they do or have an attraction they can’t shake this love story takes on many dynamics. The characters are amazing and the growth as the book progresses makes you love them all the more. Regan and Jeremy took us on a rocky road to love with raw emotions and difficult obstacles. Complete opposites, but the only ones for each other. This was a delightful story that you will not forget.

What a fun engaging children’s book! I have 3 kids of my own; 5, 8, & 13 and the younger 2 loved this story while my older one while has a mind of a much younger child wasn’t interested in the story but LOVED the pictures! This kept their attention and had them guessing right along with Caspian, the main character. I will be finding the others in this series now.
This was a rollercoaster romantic read! Regan is strong, independent and sometimes hard headed to a fault. Then there’s Jeremy who thinks he has everything he wants. Then their paths cross and everything changes. This story is a whirlwind and I was just along for the ride! Then add in the steamy scenes and it makes for a great read. I really enjoyed the writing style and reading from both perspectives. Will definitely be reading more from this author!!

This is the fourth book in this series. We are once again met with Dahlia Nite. Our rough and tumble shifter investigator.
This book starts out with an excellent example as to why she has this job and just how terrifyingly close the worlds are becoming. Also, many questions about Dahlia are answered in this nonstop story.
I finished this in one sitting and CANNOT wait for the next.
I love to find new authors and new series. I am also very bad at reading books out of sequence. This is the first book by this author I am reading and I was not let down. I really like how the author has a unique and refreshing plot.
The characters come with their own shall we say past and it adds to the story. I also like how the story is well balanced with romance and drama. The characters really have depth and I felt as though I was right there in the thick of it. I cannot wait to read more from this series.
This is a story about a girl growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, in Boston. She has grown up in poverty and around crime her whole life but was determined to get out of this situation. Well, she never realized that day was coming sooner than later when she meets Jeremy and they are instantly drawn to each other. Jeremy is a COO of a big time company, who went to college in Boston and fell in love with this city. After a recent breakup, Jeremy wasn’t looking for anything serious, but there was something about this “Southie” that he couldn’t deny himself of. He pursues her until she agrees to go on a date with him. This “date” turns into one of the best nights of her life and the beginning of their love story. However, how could this ever work, a poor girl with nothing and a man who has everything, with a family that wants no part of her. Can they make it work? Will money and hidden family secrets get in the way? Will his family force them apart? Or will their love conquer all? I just fell so much in love with this book. The characters were dynamic and jumped off the page. It made it so easy for me to feel like I was a part of the story. There were times that I literally was laughing, crying, and feeling completely heart broken. The way I was so pulled into the story and having all these feelings told me that this book was very well written by this author. Not to mention the amount of smut in this book!!! Oh my goodness, it was so good! It was an easy read and I couldn’t put it down.

I am positive, when I tell you this series is well worth your time and money. This is Marvel and Virginia’s story. Being caught up in a bank robbery is bad, being stuck in a small room with a total stranger is bad, but those are nothing to Virginia, compared to the last few years of her life. The strong and helpful Marvel is one to be trusted, unless you fear his type of men. Marvel on the other hand wants nothing to do with women. He has been jilted once and he keeps clear of all women. He has given each and every one of his Brothers hell for finding their old Lady. Says it will Never happen to him! Well guess what? Marvel is stuck in a tiny bank room with said woman. For hours and hours and hours. That is all I am going to say about this story. No spoilers for you. This author and her creative mind has once again written a story to be read by all. You can’t help but fall in love with the characters that make the Men and Women of the Satan’s Devils MC. This story is fast paced and leaves nothing out. So I recommend you get everything you need before starting. As you will not be coming up for a while. I am sure the next in this series is already in the making. So get yourself caught up in this series as I know you will not be disappointed.

Beelzebub, the demon of Gluttony, is one of the Seven Princes of Hell. He is to tempt humans into the sin of gluttony and mark them. He comes across Clara, am empath, whom own The Sweet Spot bakery, the perfect place for gluttony. Beelzebub becomes enamored with Clara and shows himself to her and allows her to mistaken him for an angel. Clara is committed to light and God. This is a good story of good and evil, light and dark. I have not read any of the other sinful seven novels and there were a few things that I felt I may have understood better or made more sense if I had read the other novels, but not enough that made the story frustrating or too confusing.

Spring’s Showers was a fun rom-com with a mythological twist. Cupid makes true love matches but it’s not as easy as the other immortals believe. A bet is placed and the matchmaking begins. We start this series with Mother Nature beginning the challenge of bringing two souls together to fall in love. She meets Spring, owner of a garden center, and is determined to find her match but goes through some errors in understanding what true love actually is. This was a great start to the series and I’m interested to see how the other’s fair in the matchmaking game.
The Last Cabin Girl is a wonderful book written by Tom Swyers. It is full of suspense and a must read psychological thriller. The reader will be sitting on the edge of their seat, just like this reviewer was! It is very relatable as it coincides with the pandemic happening in real life. It is a story about a woman who has seen a “pink body” on more than one occasion. Did she do it? Who can she trust? What is going on?! There are so many twists and turns, which make it fun and hard to put down. Highly recommend!

Oo sci-fi romance is always a go to for me and this one was a good one to pass my free afternoon time with. Vanessa and Akron are our main characters and they were good ones.

This book was incredibly written and I could not put it down. The author absolutely hit this one out of the park!
The story’s main character, Josie Thompson is an intriguing character struggling to stay under the radar and away from her abusive and unhinged husband. Josie lives a low-key life in a beautiful cabin by the lake, while taking care of her two children, keeping a keen eye open for any evidence her ex may be lingering about and working as often as possible in a dead-end job as a waitress. She has eyes of a hawk and is constantly watching for unknown vehicles trailing behind her on her drive to and from home/work, strange destitute residents lingering outside the diner, or any evidence on Twitter that will pinpoint a possible location for her ex, so they can finalize their divorce.
Josie is stronger than most adults, especially with her history and upbringing, although I do not think she truly recognizes that strength until much later in the story. I enjoyed watching her relationship with her brother David go from almost non-existent and strained to something much improved by the book’s end.
I enjoyed the twists and turns in this thriller and liked that it was not predictable. The author did a fabulous job creating the characters for this book and building on the intensity by adding in the pandemic into the storyline. Overall, this was a quick read since I did not want to put this book down. The suspense continued to push me to keep reading chapter after chapter into the wee hours of the night.
I think all mystery lovers will enjoy this book and the series. I cannot wait to read whatever comes next.

Chain’s story is heartbreaking. This installment of The Grimm Wolves MC had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was absolutely heart wrenching to read about all that Chains went through in the foster care system. He’s the enforcer and is supposed to be big and tough and he is but there’s a softer side of him too. He’s pushing away those he loves the most because he’s worried about what will happen if it all comes out. This book has so many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and the end had me gasping out loud and dying to read the next part of this story!

It is very rare for me to give a book a 5 star review and really wish I could have given it more! This book was by far one of my favorite reads so far for 2022! From the first chapter to the last page turn, I was so excited to keep reading! I devoured this book and kept wanting more! I can’t wait to read other works By this author. This thrilled has so many twists and turns I can not recommend it enough.

What a cute and short BWWM romance set in Georgia. 🥰 The headstrong attitude of Zenni is very respectable but we have to pick our battles! Zenni and Colton end up feuding over a plantation that Zenni’s ancestors were slaves to and it’s one underhanded blow after another. I have to admit, the lengths they went to was entertaining. The romance was well written but it happened too quick for it to be believable for me, but I could just be jaded.
This was a great read! I was fully immersed from the beginning and could hardly put it down. It was enthralling, sexy, steamy, emotional, heartbreaking and just about everything in between! This is the first novel that I’ve read from this author that I can recall and I absolutely was not disappointed. If you enjoy enthralling romance novels then this one is for you! I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

As Vanessa begins to settle into her new life a storm comes to both the planet and Vanessa herself. For Vanessa, Arkon is a bright spot in all the chaos. Can he be the one to banish the past for her?
Vanessa and Arkon’s story is an interesting read. The two work well together and make a nice couple. They each have their own demons to deal with and find that by working together love has a better chance. Their story is a fast paced one that revolves around emotions. While this book immerses the reader in a fantasy world, I felt that there was a lot of constant describing of the details that pulled me out of the story. The romance between the two is good but I did not feel connected to the characters. While this may not be a perfect book for me it does a good job of moving the story arc along and keeps the reader interested.

Book 5 of the series. Highly recommend reading the other books first as the overall storyline continues from book to book and some things would be spoiled by reading out of order.
This installation focuses on the relationship between Luc and Summer. Their relationship hits many of the romance tropes: (obviously) mafia romance, workplace romance, mistaken identity, one night stand to lovers, enemies to lovers, and more (which I won’t state because I don’t want to spoil anything). I enjoyed Summer’s strength of character and her ability to stand on her own two feet despite what life throws at her. I also enjoyed Luc’s character arc and seeing him grow from self-made businessman into a mafia heir who has a family and is one of five families who run the Chicago mob scene. I did enjoy the slow build up in their relationship despite their sexual tension, and their desire to wait to be together again until they knew one another more.
I wasn’t as big of a fan of this novel compared to the others in the series but I couldn’t tell you exactly why that was. I think it’s common to have favorite books in a series and ones that just don’t call out to you the same, especially when each book focuses on a different couple. I did enjoy both the romance and non-romance storylines overall, as well as how this novel fit in the continuing storyline of the series.
Sadly, no Katya in this one. I will hold out hope of her being a FMC in the future, though it does seem like the Bratva connection has ended for now as it was only mentioned in passing and this novel focused on some new New York based Mafia families. Can’t wait to see where everything goes in the future books!
