Mad About Matt (Red Maple Falls #1)Mad About Matt by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first book by Theresa Paolo, but it won’t be my last. Mad About Matt is a small town, second chance love story. The characters are amazing and I love the storyline. Matt is the Sheriff of Red Maple Falls, a delightful little town that has the cutest residents. The Hayes family completely sucked me in, and I can’t wait to devour each of their stories as they find love. The story was easy to read, engaging, and the chemistry was off the charts adorable. My favorite book from Theresa Paolo. Completely recommended for anyone looking for a feel good romance. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Must Be Crazy by Deborah Garland – Review by April Johnson

Must Be CrazyMust Be Crazy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really loved catching up with Mallory family and reading Skye’s story. This is the third Darling Cove novel, it was a really enjoyable read. The characters are well written and I felt like I was meeting up with old friends, seeing how their lives were getting on. Must Be Crazy is a easy story to read, there are ups and downs, as there always are in real life. Loved the characters and storyline in this book. There certainly is a lot happening in Skye and Edward’s lives to cause them problems, I liked seeing how they overcame it to try and find their future together. This is definitely one worth reading.

Can’t Forget by Colleen S. Myers – Review by April Johnson

Can't ForgetCan’t Forget by Colleen S. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can’t Forget is the second book in the Solum series by Colleen S. Myers. It is a new adult, science fiction story with action, adventure, aliens, magic, revenge, romance, and drama. This follows on from book #1, so I really recommend reading the first book before starting on this one, in order to appreciate the story better.
I very much enjoyed reading about Bata and Marin. There were again some great twists and turns in the story that made it all the more exciting to read. Love how the author’s imaginative world that lead her to created this amazing series. I really feel like I can visualise the setting at all times.
A great second book in this series that I highly recommend! I look forward to reading more from this author again.

Must Remember by Colleen S. Myers – Review by April Johnson

Must Remember (Solum, #1)Must Remember by Colleen S. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Must remember is Book 1 in the Solum series from author Colleen S. Myers.
Must Remember literally held me drawn since the first page and held me there until the end.
Colleen S. Myers  created an incredibly vivid, mentally visual read. As I was reading Must remember I couldn’t help but picture the whole planet in my mind while reading it, the look and descriptions of each individual character that Beta comes into contact with. All of it makes for an incredible sci-fi, alien romance novel filled with action, adventure, mystery, suspense, romance and most important an incredible plot.  Each of the characters are making their own impressions on Beta and the way acts around them, but you can’t help but love Finn, Marin and  Ute, but each of these characters has their own story to be told and I loved reading their interactions, feelings and ideas of why Beta is there. Along with the brilliant connections, we cannot forget the magic that is weaved through the story and the history of it.
Overall this was an incredible read that I loved. I cannot wait to dive into this world again in Book 2 – to see what continues with Beta’s story.

Imperfect Heart (Combat Hearts Book 4) by Tarina Deaton – Review by April Johnson

Imperfect Heart (Combat Hearts Book 4)Imperfect Heart by Tarina Deaton 
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imperfect Heart is book 4 of the Combat Heart Series. I absolutely love this author! Imperfect Heart has left me wanting To read more of her books. Her writing allows me to easily imagine what I am reading. The moment I started reading this book I had an instant connection with the characters that she creates and I can never put down one of her books until I have finished. I LOVED Zoe and Tim! They were both fantastic characters and I was completely captivated by their story. Zoe was so lovely; I loved her clumsiness and the fact that she got so nervous and just babbled on and on especially when it came to Tim. Here was just something about her that was so warm and genuine and you know you would love to have a friend like her. Tim was everything I have come to expect from one of her leading men; he was hot, sexy, protective and definitely swoon-worthy!! Tim and Zoe’s first meeting will probably stick in my mind of one of the funniest ever! I loved it! It definitely set the tone for the rest of the story! I recommend Imperfect Heart.

Must Have Faith (Darling Cove Book 2) by Deborah Garland – Review by April Johnson

Must Have Faith (Darling Cove #2)Must Have Faith by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Greg Mallory isn’t the kind of man to wallow just because he was left at the altar. Not when there are plenty of women to help him forget his heartbreak. But as the only Mallory son, he has an obligation to carry on the family name. When Greg’s runaway bride returns, his head tells him to keep his distance, but his body and his heart are both begging for a second chance.

Faith Copeland bolted out of Darling Cove with a shameful secret and stayed away for ten years thinking Greg Mallory would never forgive her. Coming home means facing her past and Greg. She just didn’t think he still had the power to make her melt after all this time.

One moment alone proves their attraction is stronger than ever. Are they brave enough to start fresh? Or will past secrets destroy their second chance at happy-ever-after once and for all?

Must Have Faith is the second book in the Darling Cove Series by Deborah Garland. Must Have Faith is second chance romance. I am in love with this series. The characters, backstories and growth was amazing. In my opinion Must Have Faith is my favorite one from this author. I think it may have been because this wasn’t just about two people that were childhood friends reconnecting, or strangers meeting.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Escape into the exciting world of fashion where Andrew Morgan, a former male model turned brand manager meets his match in Gwendolyn Mallory, a beautiful small town public relations specialist he doesn’t think he needs.

She was hired to turn the fashion world upside down…not his.

Go behind the scenes as Gwen sets out to prove she has what it takes to promote a prestigious brand like Prada. Andrew is already struggling to accept his PR responsibilities have been taken away from him, but the intense attraction he has for Gwen is just plain getting in the way of rational thinking—sleeping with a co-worker has always been on his to-don’t list. But Gwen challenges everything Andrew believes about love and relationships as he puts aside his heartbreaking past to have the woman he never knew he needed.

Follow the sparkling fuse slowly burning with sexual tension as Gwen brings to life a sexy devil…who just happens to wear Prada.

This is the first book by Deborah Garland that I have read, and I love how the author put the plot together. The chemistry between Gwen and Andrew was instantly. As Must Love Fashion unfolds you are able to follow their emotions and thoughts as the relationship progresses. This is the first book in the series and I look forward to reading the next ones.

Join Quinn and Noah on their journey of love, loss and the most unexpected gift they never saw coming. Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan. Is a new book and new author to me.

Eternal Bloom by A.E. Gamrat – Review by April Johnson

Eternal BloomEternal Bloom by A.E. Gamrat
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After her mom ends up in the hospital, Gwen knows nothing will ever be the same. She has so many questions and so few answers.
Will her mom survive? And if she does, will the tension in their relationship ease?
Will Kame come back for her?

No one knows the answers to all of life’s questions; Gwen’s only option is to hold on as the storm rages on around her.

Eternal Bloom by AE Gamrat is the second book in this series. I would highly recommend reading New Bloom before reading Eternal Bloom. Eternal Bloom picks up right where New Bloom ended. This is my second book by this author and I enjoyed reading both of her books. I truly enjoyed this duet. I found it to be a really accurate and great coming of age story. Just like the first one I found this on a page turner. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see what else is available from A.E. Gamrat. Thanks for a great read!

New Bloom by A.E. Gamrat – Review by April Johnson

New BloomNew Bloom by A.E. Gamrat
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Graduating college and knowing how the next chapter of your life will play out is a big deal, right? How

much more could someone ask for?

Gwen has always followed every rule her mother gave her. With her future planned for her, she never

really had the time for fun or boys. Never really learned how to let loose, go with the flow.

What happens when all the plans she thought were laid out for her are pulled out from under her feet?

Add in the mysterious man that pops into the flower shop stirring emotions she has never had before,

and she is in for the ride of her sheltered life.

Growing up is hard, and Gwen’s in for a growing experience she never planned on.

New Bloom is book 1 in a series from author A.E Gamrat. This was the first time I have read from this author. I highly recommend this book as well as book 2.
The storyline and the characters was amazing. New Bloom is a book that u can easily fall in love with. I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2. have loved, you have a great storyline, brilliant characters and book that you can’t put down. A.E Gamrat has made this book easy to read and flow from chapter to chapter. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Coming of Age books.

She longs for some other way,
they both could stay
lost inside forever
that now echoes yesterday.

What if the love of your life was on the other side?

Music has always captivated Colbie, and she was sure that music would escort her to her destiny. But then, lying on a cold operating table, Colbie’s heart stopped, and her life ended. Then, something miraculous happened. In an inex-plicable new world, Colbie comes face to face with Michael and she realized that she has always heard the music.

What if you had to choose between love and life?

When she wakes up in the sterile hospital room to a painful recovery, she longs for the peace she abandoned when she returned to Earth. Back in her own world, Colbie is struggling with fate as she tries to once again, hear the music.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. When I first started reading it I thought I would have a hard time getting into it but before I knew it, I was already half way through the book. Michael’s Heart is a story that will show you that there is hope for all who is looking for love. This author is an amazing writer. This is a story will show you that there is hope for all those looking for love. You will not be disappointed with Michael’s Heart.

Small Town Hero (Small Town Brides #1) by Kim Koby – Review by April Johnson

Small Town Hero (Small Town Brides, #1)Small Town Hero by Kim Koby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Small Town Hero is a sweet, clean romance that celebrates renewal.

Rebecca is saving herself for marriage. After a crushing betrayal, she spins out of control when she catches her fiancé and best friend in bed together. Grief-stricken and desperate, she finds herself stranded in Tennessee and forced to rely on the kindness of a stranger.

Ryan knows heartache. The only woman he loved walked away the day he proposed to her. He knew in that instant he’d never trust his heart to another. At least he has his dog to keep him company and a good job as a local firefighter.

When Rebecca ends up in Ryan’s path, they blend like oil and water. While he’s content with what life gives him, she escapes by seeking her identity in expensive things. Can two broken souls find salvation with their complete opposite?

Small Town Hero is Book 1 in the Small Town Brides Series by Kim Koby. This was the first time I have read a book by this author. Love how u get swept in to this story. The characters are amazing and very caring. The author makes you fall in love with the characters and makes you feel like your part of the story. I can’t wait to see what the author has planned for the other brothers.
