Caught by HimCaught by Him by Tammy Mannersly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Willabelle Stone agrees to help her grandfather out by watching his home for him while he is out of town. She arrives in a houseboat, under the cover of darkness which instantly puts the next-door neighbor on edge because he thinks there is an intruder lurking about.

Brody Nash, a famous movie actor, is caught off guard by the intruder he spots trying to break into the house next door and he decides to deal with it as best as he can. To his surprise, he is greeted by the beautiful Willabelle as she perches precariously atop the neighbor’s gate. Brody and Willabelle find themselves instantly attracted to one another which neither expected to happen.

As Brody and Willabelle start spending time together and getting to know one another each realizes that they are in love with the other. Unhappy with the blooming romance between Brody and Willabelle, Brody’s Assistant and Willabelle’s ex boyfriend plot to come between them and destroy their relationship. Brody’s Assistant Carmody is obsessed with Brody, and she feels that she is better suited for him. Willabelle’s ex boyfriend is still trying to get her back even after their break-up two years later. When Carmody and Willabelle’s ex boyfriend plot together to break up Brody and Willabelle it threatens to destroy the blossoming romance between them. Will Brody and Willabelle’s love survive?

Caught By Him is a beautiful story of how opposites can attract and fall in love. Tammy Mannersly tells this story beautifully and draws the reader into the lives of Brody and Willabelle. She shows us that true love can survive and that, as Brody often says, “Life is only worth living if you’ve got something to lose.”

Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles Book 2) by CR Robertson – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Forbidden MateForbidden Mate by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forbidden Mate by CR Robertson picks up where Forbidden Wolf (The Shadow Chronicles Book 1) left off. In Book 1, Forbidden Wolf, CR Robertson introduces the characters of Levi, a Lycan, and Tasha, a Vampire. Levi and Tasha have fallen deeply in love although they were never meant to be mates. The Lycans and the Vampires have been sworn enemies for centuries and were ordered to kill one another on sight but are now fighting side by side to end the Lycan-vampire war. The vampires and Lycans have formed a tentative alliance to fight a much bigger enemy, the Hellspawn.

As the war against the Hellspawn rages on Levi And Tasha are thrown into a dark world of secrets and lies that threatens to destroy everything they have ever known. It is a race against time as Levi and Tasha try to solve the mystery behind the genetics of both the Lycans and Vampires. As strong as their love is for one another it might not be enough to survive the bigger enemy and overcome the dark secrets behind their genetic makeup.

I instantly fell in love with the characters of both Levi and Tasha when I first met them in Book 1, Forbidden Wolf, and was completely drawn into their world. Book 2, Forbidden Mate, continues their journey and builds more on the characters and their lives. There was never a dull moment throughout the entire book, and it is action-packed throughout. Forbidden Mate kept me turning the pages and I found myself rooting for Levi and Tasha and hoping that their love would persevere through all the trials and tribulations they were continuously put through. My heart skipped a beat when the evil Castus popped back into their lives and tried to come between Tasha and Levi. I cringed when the Master Hellspawn is almost able to lure Tasha to him. I waited with bated breath in the hopes that Levi could save his one true love. CR Robertson does a great job building suspense and keeping the reader intrigued. I highly recommend this book!

The Lycan/Vampire vs Hellspawn War wages on. Tasha and Levi are still battling the Master Hellspawn and his minions, whom are ever adapting. Tash and Levi are also evolving during this war. This installment of The Shadow Chronicles was even more action packed and intriguing that Book 1 (Forbidden Wolf). There is a lot of action as there is a major war going on outside the base and inside the base (with Castus). The plot is well-written and does a thorough job with explaining the science they are studying to understand the Lycan/Vampire genetics. The characters are well-thought out and put together. My personal favorite, after Tasha and Levi, of course, are Tasha’s parents. Her mom has no problem putting her father in his place. The female characters are strong and confident in this book. They will go into battle without a second thought. I did not see that ending come. I’m kind of hoping a further book in the future about them? Hint, hint! Great series. Recommend this!

Romancing the TropicsRomancing the Tropics by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

These two books, bring a whole lot of steaminess’ and desire to the page. I should add not just to a singe page, but to multiple! The pages were full of passion, heat, and chemistry, and it brought the hotness to more extremes, and were so good to read in more ways than one!

The first story I got to enjoy, was to me about temptation and dark chocolate. You know you want it, but shouldn’t have it, but you go for a bite anyway. And you do not stop there. You keep going till you devour it all. That was what this one was like. A girl who believes she doesn’t have that appeal to be sexy or desirable. Until she spends time with her friend’s father. I must add the friend is also her best friend? Her friend’s father awakens something in her , and the heat and the passion combine in one making the pages themselves sweat with their own desire and the heat they bring. The story was so good and naughtily in different ways to read, after all don’t we all desire the temptation we shouldn’t want, but yet we do?

The second one brought just as much to the table, but a history of friendship. So I guess to me it was more than just lust and desire, there was old feelings buried that maybe would never surface or maybe just the right about of lust and heat could awaken those feelings? 2 prior best friends, who lost everything they had of a night spent together may get their happy ending after maybe. They end up corresponding years after everything they had blew up in flame, and they meet again after so long. Perhaps there was more than just beneath the sheets till why Sarah left Alex the way she did? the sparks flying when they meet again had me so invested in then, in reality I just wanted them to rip their clothes off and go at it! This one was delightful as it was sexy and steamy!

The author knew how to grasp their readers and take them as if they are bound for a night of sexiness’. That’s what happened here for sure. I was devoured by the heat and passion of these two novels. And like any good steamy event, I was left wanting more, so much more. the author is quite good at setting the scene and delivering the steam from there with all other factors entwined. I really enjoyed these books and I will be sure be reading more by then! I need this level of steaminess’ in my life more often! If you are looking for a read to give you that certain heat and lust…then read these. You will not have any regrets!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This series keeps captivating my interest. The author has done a very commendable job taking tropes and genres we have become accustomed to and making them filter through a new lens. For best appreciation, I do recommend you read the books in series order to truly grasp the character development. That said, this book can be read on its own. Fantasy lovers should enjoy the imagery and character development. Another satisfying afternoon read.

I absolutely loved Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis. I read this rom-com in just a couple of hours. It was a story of a woman, Ivory Tower, who owns a dating service and due to a journalists insistence, finds herself in a predicament where she states she has a long term love but in fact does not. This leads to Li Qiang, her intern, stepping up to be her fake boyfriend to get past the live TV interview. The story of these two leads us into a love that was meant to be all while adding depth to the characters with the family dynamic that plays out.

This was such a fun rom com to read! I had a blast reading it, and I had more than just a few moments where I laughed as well as smiled. The story and the characters were more than just engaging. And between the two main characters there was more than just them, it was their family as well that greatly impacted who they were in this story!

Ivory is basically someone powerful and successful in her career, but still she longs for the acceptance of her father. Sadly, I think even she knew from the start of the book that earning that respect would be hard to come by in more ways than words can express. Throw in Li Qiang her intern who is younger than her agrees to pretend to be in love with her in hopes to win over her father at long last. He lives in a different world than she does family wise. He seems to always have had the love of her family and when the two individuals get together with his family its sheer bliss and I think Ivory saw this is something she wishes she had all the time. As love stories go, you can only pretend so long before you begin to catch real feelings, but how can you be sure the other is as well? And how do you know when its not just pretend anymore? Matters of the heart do tend to be questionable at times, doesn’t it?

The story was full of so much happy feelings at times and a lot of love as well! The novel was a quick read as I got very much invested in the characters and I kept hoping they would find what they both deserved, but maybe even knew they wanted in life! It was a care free read, and the author gave us as the readers, a fun read, that was more than enjoyable and I surely enjoyed it till it’s final page! Wonderful read!

This is officially my favorite of the series. It had me feeling every emotion possible and I literally read this in one afternoon because I could not put it down.

I cried, I laughed, I got so angry, I had those amazing “How Sweet ” moments, and I can not wait to read this again. I love this whole series and although they can each be read as standalones, I recommend reading them all as characters from other books do show up throughout.

I love Best Friend stories, especially ones like this that are full of history and pull at your heartstrings. I’m also a sucker for an awesome twist, even if it causes me to want to throw and stomp on my kindle.

I loved this and as I’ve said before in other reviews, I will absolutely read all of these again.

HIGHLY recommend it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from this author and she always surprises me with her written skills. This is the second book of the Mother’s and Daughters collection. You can read this as a stand alone as well but the first book is just as good. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book down until the end. This story exceeded all my expectations. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.

Betty Hamilton gets pregnant at a young age in the 1950s and her parents send her to a house that makes her ashamed of her life. She is forced to give up her daughter to a couple she never gets to meet. Betty is thrown out on her own to make a new life for herself.

Marlena starts to uncover the truth about her past and finds things that she can’t believe happened. Will Marlena find her birth mother before it’s too late or will it already be too late?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a book so easy to get hooked into, as well as really foot for our heroine, she was defiantly someone strong willed and was a character we all wanted things to turn out ok for in the end. This novel had it all, suspense, characters you hated very on, and ones that you wanted to pull through in the end. I loved the relationship with Lauren and Liz. They reminded me very much of me and my mom.

The suspense was so good in this book. Liz and Lauren are heading to a certain meet point. The reason why? The gap of the past few years are filled in with a very descriptive way of writing as well as to where we are now with a visit from the FBI. These two ladies go through a lot. And I mean a lot. They go through shady characters, an old love even, and dangerous times. The author did an amazing job at keeping the reader on their seat. It was like a good action book that never stopped. You had to always be ready to keep going. I really enjoyed it. And when everything else settles down, you can breathe yourself as the reader and really smile that your two main characters stuck together and made it! It was a fun read and the suspense really made good twists and turns and I literally needed some popcorn while reading!

The writing description of events and characters by this author was well done! I really enjoyed reading this and going on the car ride with Liz and Lauren. It was a fun ride, maybe a bit dangerous at times, but that’s what makes it an adventure! I really loved it and yes I’m recommending this to everyone. Its a read you do not want o miss out on. The author keeps the reader interested, give them a moment to read, then the suspense and action starts up again! Very fun read and amazing writing by an amazing author!

Abby
My heart races, palms sweat and knees go weak.
I’ve never seen anyone like Drew in a science lab. He’s made me a firm believer in chemistry existing outside a textbook. Until his ego shows up. Nope – No thank you. Moving on. I mean… who has an entourage in college?
When our professor announces we’ll be stuck as lab partners, I nearly lose my mind – I’m certain my dreams of becoming a doctor will go up in smoke with a distraction like him around.
Drew
I don’t date during the season.
The number of trolls who venture into the arena simply to chase jerseys is unbelievable.
In fact, I typically distance myself from the social side of being a college athlete because I have my eye on something bigger than our next D-1 championship.
I’ve taken painstaking measures to avoid distractions – at all costs.
This plan has worked perfectly until Abby shows up at my door.
Gone is the plain studious girl I left in lab the day before.
Left in her place is the intriguing woman I want to know better.
Here I thought she wouldn’t be a distraction – yeah right…
I am so screwed.
Abby’s gorgeous and there’s nothing plain about her.
I am this close to having it all. If I let Abby in, will my perfectly laid out plans disappear?

This is my book by this author, and I was blown away! Given the subject matter it should be a sad book, but it’s sort of uplifting and thoughtful. Definitely makes you reflect on your own outlook on life. It was extremely well written. All of the characters were very multi dimensional and authentic. I would absolutely recommend this book, even if it’s not your typical genre!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Her Dark Love (Dark Spell Series Book 4) by Isra Sravenheart, 4 stars.

If you have been following the series, this book takes us back to the beginning of Isra, showing us how she came to be. It was interesting to see this aspect of her life. You are introduced to many characters, and this is what makes this book so good. This is a world of magic and those who want to take advantage of others, no matter the cost. Although this is written like an adult fairytale, there is no happily ever after. But the followers of this series already know this. This s a story of discovering just what you are made of and what extents you will go. The author has done a fantastic job presenting to us the beginning of the story. She creates a world of magic and makes you feel like you are right there. You really feel for Isra in this book.

If you like darker, more adult fairytales, this book and series are for you. If you have followed, the series, this book will show you the beginning. If you have not, you will discover a whole new world and cast of characters.

Boy, Book 2 did not disappoint!! I love this book and series! Definitely read book 1 before diving into book 2. Lucy’s father, Jude, wants Lucy to train with him so she can use her demon powers. In the story, Lucy just wants to be with Marcus, but Marcus’ mother has other plans and would like Marcus to join their gargoyle clan. There is so much to this story I would love to share, but do not want to give out any spoilers and I love it. Demons, gargoyles, witches with twists and turns. Truly fabulous!

Her Dark Love was a really good prequel I guess? I’m not sure what exactly to call it but the author does take us back to before before main villains (characters) turn evil. So it was nice to go back. I can’t recall many of the characters though, I’ve only read the second book and it was awhile back so my memory wasn’t up to date when I picked this one up. But since it is taking us back in time I don’t think that’s really relevant. It was hard for me to get into though. It felt like the story was rushed and they went from one scene to another without taking appropriate measures on showing the reader how they got there. And it was very stop and start like reading a fairytale. Overall I enjoyed the story, but hate that I couldn’t enjoy it more than I wanted to or would have liked.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A hidden gem! To say that I enjoyed this book is an understatement. This novel digs deep and wrenches every bit of emotion from you. There is remorse, disappointment, hurt, and happiness (just to name a few) that transcend from the pages and envelopes the reader in a cocoon where the reader has no other choice but to be a part of the characters’ journey. I admire Tank’s strength in making amends for the disservice done to the heroine and Charlie’s bravery in her vulnerability. Their path towards reconciliation was organic and realistic. This highlighted the fragility of trust, that once broken is possible to mend. Thank you, Trish, for this beautiful story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My only disappointment is that I have yet to read book 1 of this series. Fast-paced, action-packed, and riveting are all adjectives used to describe this book. I love a heroine that does not sit and twiddle her thumbs in a corner waiting for ‘Prince Charming’ to come to rescue her. Don’t get me wrong; I do appreciate a take-charge hero as much as the next person. However, a woman that stands up and takes charge of her life and destiny is something worth writing home about; simply put Delilah is a badass. This is not the typical vampire romance novel; Sylvia brings an original and refreshing perspective to their lifestyle. I immensely enjoyed reading and recommend this book.

When Lucy’s mother passes away, she has to go live in Chicago with her uncles. Lucy learns then she is half witch and half demon and her life turned upside down and only the beginning. Add in some twists and turns that also include a love triangle between Lucy, Dylan and Marcus. I also love a strong female character and most definitely Lucy was!! I thought this book was fabulous.

Boy Released is the follow up story to Boy on Hold and picks up 10 years after Tyler is convicted of the murder of Sally Hubbard. Hen, Marcella, and Bernie are living at and running the motel they have purchased. Tyler has been released from the psych hospital and is staying on site in the one of the cabins. When Marcella is brutally attacked, Tyler is the only witness, and quickly becomes the prime suspect. But what really happened on that night? Can Hen, Bernie, Marcella and Tyler come to grips with their new lives?

J D Spero knows how to write a story that draws in the reader, develops characters that are relatable, and keeps the reader engaged until the very end. I loved both the books in this series. The parts of the story from Tyler’s point of view really seem to hit the nail on the head when it comes to schizophrenia and related issues. His story was heart breaking, and the effects on his family where realistic. This is hands down a 5 star book !

The Girl and the Gargoyle (The Girl and the Raven Book 2) by Pauline Gruber was a great addition to this series. Ms. Gruber really grabs her readers attention in the beginning and doesn’t let go of it until the very last page. She brings back the great characters from book one,as well as some great new additions and while I love Jude, I really loved reading mire about Dylan in this second installment. This book has so much to offer including teenage angst, a love triangle, drama and more. Personally I can’t wait for the next installment in this series to see what happens with Lucy and all of our other beloved characters.

Dangerous Curves Boxed Set 1: 3 Cozy Christian MysteriesDangerous Curves Boxed Set 1: 3 Cozy Christian Mysteries by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dangerous Curves Boxed Set 1: 3 Cozy Christian Mysteries by K.L. Montgomery contains the first three books in the Dangerous Curves series. The set contains the books Betrayal at the Beach, Mystery at the Marina, and Shooting at the Shore. The books follow Sunshine the librarian as she solves mysteries in the small town of Bryce Beach. I really have enjoyed this series and the variety of characters that live in Bryce Beach. Sunshine is fantastic and makes me laugh as she gets herself into scrapes and troubles as she investigates and solves the mysteries. I also really enjoy her interactions with the local law enforcement. I look forward to reading more adventures of Sunshine and from this author in the near future.

The story of Lucy Walker continues in The Girl and the Gargoyle. Half witch half demon girl dating a gargoyle and living with her uncles. It is safe to say her life is very complicated. I very much am enjoying all her adventures as she learns.
