Wild Lavender (Heart & Hand, #1)Wild Lavender by Nicole E. Kelleher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I honestly didn’t think I’d enjoy this book as much as I did! It’s not a genre i would typically read but I’m SO glad I gave it a shot. I LOVE ANNA! Regardless of what she went through, she always remained strong..not only for herself but for all of her people! Phenomenal story line with great characters. Like I said, this isn’t usually my go too type of book but I think that’s changed now! The authors writing quickly grabbed my attention and I just all around loved this empowering story. I highly encourage you to read this!

Cruel Love: A College Sports Romance (Hidden Valley Elite #6)Cruel Love: A College Sports Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My goodness! The emotions I’m feeling is out of this world. I think Cruel Love is the one book out of the entire series that has had me the most stressed since page 1! The angst, the NEEDING to know what happens is such torture. I think I’ll be sending the author my therapy bill! All the characters are great but Jillian…the girl needs to GO. She makes me want to pull my hair out and scream! Same with the grandad!!! There’s so much drama and back in forth in this book but I couldn’t get enough. Also, I LOVE Max. He’s such a great friend to Aspen and he’s always there for her. I love when they’re together! As all the other books in this series, I loved this one too! And I always expect a cliffhanger but THIS ONE? I can’t deal lmao. So onto the next book because I have to know what happens. If you haven’t read this series, you’re truly missing out.

When We Fell AgainWhen We Fell Again by Julie Archer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an amazing read! If you want a phenomenal second chance rockstar romance…read this! The characters had their flaws but my goodness…I fell in love with them all. Rockstar romances is one of my favorite genres so I knew I would fall in love with this! I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between Alexis and Jordan is so loving. She’s there for him, even through his hard times. It was a bit rocky but nothing they couldn’t work through. I was worried at the end, I couldn’t handle if this book ended with a cliffhanger lol. But the way the author ended it, was perfect! Loved every page! Highly recommend this!

THAT LAST CHAPTER?? WHAT? WHY? I can’t even handle it! 😭😭 I’m so stressed right now and I need the next book, STAT! As I’ve said in my previous reviews on the other books in this series, THEY ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!! Every single book has been phenomenal and I’m obsessed with them. The emotions I feel with these books are out of this world. One minute I’m laughing and in love then the next I’m angry and crying. The author is easily one of my favorites because of this series! If you want a great story, with twists and turns, drama, jealousy, angst…read this! You’ll fall in love too!!!

The cover alone is what made me read this! I absolutely loved it. But the story? My gosh, phenomenal! I felt it all! So many emotions. There’s tragedy, loss, heartbreak…and I definitely needed my tissues ready. I was drawn into the pages and I never wanted the story to end. The MC has gone through a lot..but that doesn’t stop her! I absolutely loved her! If you want a great heartfelt book, please read this! Definitely keep some tissues nearby! You’ll need them.

A Forever Kind of ThingA Forever Kind of Thing by Carrie Thomas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The first thing that caught my attention was the cover of this book! It’s so cute and I absolutely ADORE it. Which I can say the same for the actual story. I enjoy YA books! They’re some of my favorite reads. There’s a bit of drama and angst and that’s something that’s just intriguing to me. A lot of the teen drama that’s going on, is something that I can relate too. So maybe that’s why I enjoyed this book so much as well. It was a rollercoaster of emotions but if you can make me actually FEEL while I read, that’s phenomenal. I want to cry, get angry and be hurt. I want to feel what these characters feel and it did that for me. I really enjoyed this!

What a way to start a book! Instantly grabbed my attention, which I LOVE. If you can grab my attention in just the first 2 pages, then that’s a great book in my opinion. I was intrigued when I read what this book is about and my goodness, I’m glad I read this one. The suspense, the thrill…OBSESSED. I never wanted it to end. Now I’m going to start the next book of this series, because I haven’t had enough. LOVE this authors writing as well!! So so good. There’s also a little bit of romance and I just love when writers can put a little bit of each genre, in their work! Highly recommend this series!

Wow what a phenomenal read! I love the way the author writes and honestly I just got lost in the words. Next thing I knew, the book was finished. It brought out so many emotions and I loved every second of it. I LOVE rock n roll books but this one hit different. It’s not like the usual rock n roll books I usually read so I was impressed on that alone. The characters, the story, the dialogue…simply fantastic. It was full of struggles and hardship..even heartbreak. But I really enjoyed this book! I’ll be checking out more of this authors work, because I loved this one.

This small town historic romance book has some pretty hard issues within its pages. Billie is fighting for her rights and equality! And she’s also falling for someone, that others don’t agree with. This book sucked me right in because of the angst, the drama and the story alone! I really enjoyed the characters and I wish the book was a bit longer so I could read more about them. I always get sad when a book ends. Super fast paced book!

My first book by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I did enjoy this book! I love a good crime thriller! It was full of mystery and just kept me turning the pages to see what happens next. James Sheldon has had some tragedies happen in his life and he went down a dark path. Until he wins the lottery and becomes Mr. Lucky…or so he thinks. His story is heartbreaking and so devastating..I couldn’t imagine. Had a great emotional pull on me. I’ll be looking more at this authors work because I was impressed with this.

Such a quick and fun WHODUNIT read! I figured out who was behind the crimes rather quickly and I really enjoyed this. There’s a little bit of romance in there and some pretty intense moments! For being a short read, the author wrote the characters so well.. That I connected with them rather quickly. If you want a book full of crimes, whodunit, romance, suspense. Read this!

Loooooove this book! And I’m obsessed with Isaac! He protects the people he loves and he doesn’t second guess about anything. He’s also such a tease 😈 but it’s so so spicy! 🌶 Someone very important to him left him 5 years ago but now she’s back. And with a surprise! He definitely wasn’t expecting that. Book is full of angst but I’m here for it! There’s drama and action and spice and romance and I couldn’t get enough of it. The entire story was simply AMAZING and I couldn’t stop reading..I just HAD to know what happens next. I love the Hawke family and I know you will too! Please read this!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I knew I was going to like this book because I LOVED Ruthless Hawke. And I’m only 21% into this book and it’s already fantastic. The suspense and the mystery, it keeps you on your toes. You never know what to expect and that’s what I love in a book! It keeps me flipping the pages without taking a break because I NEED to know what happens. Jude has been through A LOT growing up but the Hawke family welcomes him with open arms. He’s real closed off and on edge but Ang and Allie are there for him, as always. I love the Hawke family because even when there’s people who don’t share the same blood, they still treat them like they do ♥️ they always have each others backs and are there for one another! And the chemistry between Jude & Angelina? STEAMY. I love them so much together! I can’t wait for the next book! There’s so many answers that I need lol.

That’s a plus, lol. Super fast read because I simply couldn’t put it down. Highly suggest this book!

A couple pages in and I’m already loving this book! The tragedy that Victoria is going through at such a young age, shatters my heart. But Logan’s mom is such a saint! Her caring for Victoria makes my heart full because Victorias home life, is terrible. That little girl needs love and it’s sad a stranger shows it to her instead of her own stepfather. And Logan? He loves Victoria so damn much. He’s there for her, always. As much as this book angered me it kept my attention the entire time. Turning the pages because I just had to know what happens next. I can see how this book can be triggering, so please read the warnings. Book isn’t recommended for anyone under 18. Has a lot of dark topics/scenes. But I thoroughly enjoyed it!
