This Time Around by Jane Suen – Review by She Reads All

This Time AroundThis Time Around by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ladies and Gentlemen I am proud to announce that this book has the perfect Book Boyfriend. If you think I am exaggerating then pick the book up yourself so you can prove me right. Lets talk…

Katie going back to her hometown, where she grew up but left for college and bigger things and now hardly comes back. Well she finds herself in town for a friends wedding, and because you cant say NO to the bride, she finds herself with the plus one of her ex-boyfriend. Chase. The man she let get away 10 years prior because they went to different schools and she didn’t want to do long distance.

One thing I loved most about this book is the flashbacks we get so that we can see everything that happened when they were dating and back in high school.

In the flashbacks we see how much Katie desired to be in the big city and have a career. But as she returns home and starts to hang out with her mother and sister compared to the time and crazy hours she works and the ungrateful demanding boss she starts to think is it all worth it…

This book is fast pace and sweet. It does get a little emotional so you may find yourself in tears towards the end. But overall a very enjoyable read.

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies Book 7) by Toni Aleo – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have not read anything by this author before and went in blind (that cover called to me).
New adult books arent my usual go to reads but will read them as they can have great stories, just not my favorite age range.
I instantly fell in love with both of these main characters and the realness and rawness of what they went through, how they are coping and how they deal day in and day out.
Throw in the autism awareness components and I was hooked (as a mom of a child with autism this was so beautifully done)

I will be reading more from this author as they have a gift of telling a story you feel to your core.

Something About Aimee (Girls from the Street Book 1)Something About Aimee by S.E. Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading this book was a breeze! I was just turning the pages and wondering what would happen next to Wheels! The author paints a beautiful canvas with the layers to Wheels as a character, and Qadir and all that makes him who he is. Reading this story has been like watching a movie! With all of the twists and turns I was so ready to find out where all of the trouble was coming from. This story is one of strength that is clearly exhibited by Wheels. I feel so much more empowered by reading this love story. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s so good that Katie is heading home for her friends wedding I’m so proud of her for standing up to that nasty boss of hers 🤭😉

We hit a tiny glitch , the bride doesn’t want any singles at her wedding so Katie gets hitched with her ex high school boyfriend , Chase, and there’s some unresolved issues …..

Chase had his heart broken by Katie and when he agrees to be her plus one I think there’s more than vengeance in his heart …. His life has also changed drastically, he became an instant daddy to Timmy when his parents were killed in an accident and he’s a real hands on daddy and man he just makes my knees go like jelly and little Timmy is a real sweetheart ❣️

Things between Katie and Chase seem to pick up where they left off but they really do need to clear the air and they’re so perfect for each other and add Timmy to the equation and it’s the perfect little family ❣️

Just loved Katie and Chase , they just stole my heart ❣️📕

Second chance love story at its purest. When you dream big sometimes you forget to live big and that’s where Katie sees herself. When she ends up back in her home town on a set up date with her ex everything makes sense again. Has it been to long? Has he changed? Will his nephew/son accept her? And what about her new life? Which is the path she will choose? Great book highly recommend.

Remember to Forget Me (Too Lost to Love Book 1) by Hazel Storm Review By Shelly Kittell

Remember to Forget Me (Too Lost To Love, #1)Remember to Forget Me by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As the doors swing shut, the sexiest voice on the planet chases me through the narrowing gap. “Hey! Excuse me. Do I know you?” Addison runs into Wesley at a legal meeting and realizes he doesn’t remember her after a bad beating he received ten years ago. Sad,she is resolved to go on, but Wes feels she is familiar. The two engage in a journey that takes them down a road that has to be traveled. This is a book that will touch you hard in the emotions. I guarantee you will feel it all. The story is well-written and developed in such a way that a few plot twists thrown in felt normal. These two are very relatable. The only thing I would have hoped for is a snippier line to the new roommate, Charlotte, from Wesley. That chick is messed up and rude. It’s up there as one of the best romance books I’ve read for the year.

Murder Most Pemberley (Eliza Darcy Mysteries Book 1) by Jessica Berg – Review by Candice Estes

Murder Most PemberleyMurder Most Pemberley by Jessica Berg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eliza Darcy is an American who has a ton of family in England, and is headed there for a Darcy/Bennet family reunion. She is hoping to spend time with a couple of cousins she’s already met, and meet other family members she doesn’t yet know. What she doesn’t know is the amount of mystery and intrigue she is about to walk into. What she can’t possibly anticipate is the murder and mayhem that she is about to walk into and have to contend with…or the love she will find. Love for her family, and for a new love interest. One way or another, Eliza’s life is about to get more interesting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries, international intrigue, and maybe even a healthy dose of appreciation for Pride and Prejudice.

This Time AroundThis Time Around by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Katie who broke up with her high school boyfriend and left for college never looking back, comes home for her friend’s wedding. Long hours on dream job have taken its toll on her and she has forgotten to RSVP and find a plus one for the wedding. Katie called her sister Mary two days before the wedding and upon Mary’s insistence, she came home for the big event. Once she arrived safely and in her sister’s care, Katie called her friend Laurie to let her know that she would be there but without a plus one. Laurie would not have that as she wanted everyone to be paired at her wedding so she told Katie that her plus one would meet her at the wedding. Guess who that is? Her ex-boyfriend, Chase, that she so rudely and coldly broke up with upon leaving for college. Through the pages we read more about the lovers past and get to the deep-seated issues that lie in the way between them. Along the journey, Katie realizes that what she thought was her dream job in reality is not and her boss truly is the Boss From Hell.
Such cute characters were well developed and well written so that we get to hear the inner thoughts of both Katie and Chase as we follow along with them. It was such a sweet romance and of course like most romance novels, the two find a way to be together and to build a life worth living. This book is a great read and a cute escape for an afternoon by the pool or at the beach. You can’t help but to fall in love with the leading man Chase and to cheer for the couple when they finally decide to pair up again but for life this time.

Remember to Forget Me (Too Lost To Love, #1)Remember to Forget Me by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes yes all the yes! This story was SO good. I was drawn into it by the description and needed to know more. I finished it so quick because it was just that interesting. Remember to Forget Me by Hazel Storm is book one in the proposed Too Lost to Love series. I’m honestly obsessed with this book, so I’m looking forward to any others! Addie was there when Wesley forgot who she was because of a bully. After becoming a pop sensation, Wesley can do and have anything he wants. But he can’t remember six months of his life. So imagine his surprise when this girl he’s never met seems so familiar to him that he needs to know more. After years, they are in one another’s lives again. Is this a sick joke, or fate. Honestly, the twists in this story really got me. Something I truly wouldn’t have predicted. You have to read this book, it really was that good.

The Secret Cure: A Gripping Psychological Thriller with a Twist by JD Spero – Review by Felicia Bates

The Secret CureThe Secret Cure by J.D. Spero
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVE psychological thrillers and this book was no exception. I was glued to the pages from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down until it was finished. I love that the author not only alternated between past and present but also included every main character’s perspective. The story never felt rushed or over saturated with details yet the author managed to pay an incredible amount of detail to each character’s storyline- past and present. I loved that at any given time I could love and appreciate a character and then decide they were despicable and none of them were likable at all. I can not say enough about the shifts in perspective throughout this whole book.
The twists and turns of this story did not disappoint and despite EVERYTHING that happened, I was fixated on one line from the beginning half of the book… “I wonder does he see her as an ice cream or martini kind of woman? That one data point would answer all my questions.” I loved the book from beginning to end and will need a minute to digest how much so!

I find it strange that for someone like me who is so NOT sporty how much I actually do love a good sports romance! I was drawn into this story from the very start and was held captive till the last word. This is the first book I have read from this author and it definitely will be the first of many for me I am sure. While I read this book in the series and fully enjoyed it I will however be going back to the very start of the series to read all the prior books to further enhance my understanding and enjoyment. I mean its the thing to do when you enjoy something so much right?
Evan and Callie are wonderful characters who held a place in my heart for the entire book. Evans battles with extreme anxiety rang true to me as mental health is dealt with on a daily basis in my own home. It was written with love and hope which is something we all need in our lives right??

Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan BOOK 1) by Anise Storm – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

This the first book of the series. It’s also the first one I read by Anise. In the beginning I found Caspian to be a total douche bag mostly because how he treats women. But somehow he managed to capture my heart a little bit when running into an old friend who was down on her luck, Paisley. I can relate to Paisley at times which is probably why I want to continue to read the series.

The Titans are back! I love these books, and Scandalously Yours doesn’t disappoint! Book 5 in the Titans of Manhattan Series, can be read in succession and/or as a standalone novel. So I’ve gushed about how much I like this series, but it’s not just the series it’s the author too! If you want a well written romance novel look no further, if it be this book and/or any of the others this author has written. Trust me they are written well and keep you intrigued. They do not disappoint.
What goes around comes around, I feel that best describes what Kristopher is going through. After what he did to his best friend and his now wife in high school. He’s now dealing with the karma. That Karma being his soon to be conniving ex-wife, Hayley. She’s making his life miserable, and will go to any means to do so. Including using their kids against him.
Alessia, excited to start the next chapter of her medical career, meets Kristopher at a medical conference, and there’s no turning back from there. Unfortunately for her two things stand in her way. One Kris is her new boss. Two his crazy ex-wife.
Will love conquer all?
Will Hayley succeed in getting what she wants?
All that and so much more can be found within the pages of this book. What you thought I was going to tell you? Now what’s the fun in that! I want you to pick up this book and enjoy it, as much as I have!

The Secret CureThe Secret Cure by J.D. Spero
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a book that was hard to put down, you peal each layer of the characters and the secrets, drama and betrayal….there was plentiful! This book is told in multi-POV and can I say again….the secrets!!!

Rosalie is dealing with a chronic medical condition that leaves her in the need of home health care aid and I found it heartbreaking as her husband, Vincent, was cold toward Rosalie’s illness. Vincent hires Cate to help take care of Rosalie as a home health aid and knowingly Cate has so much care and love for Rosalie and taking care of her on a daily basis. When Vincent pulls away more and more from Rosalie, thoughts of another woman surface and doubt settles in…. and Rosalie is determine to seek revenge.

This story definitely pulls of twists and turns that you definitely need to put on your seat-belt because you are in for one roller coaster of a ride!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really good read! It was well written, and fast paced so it made go pretty quickly while reading. The characters were lovable and had great chemistry together. It starts off with a bang, so it was definitely exciting and I may even go so far as to say adventurous while being emotional. My only complaint is that while it moved quick, it was hard to determine points in time so I stayed a little confused in parts on the timeline because there was several skipped days. But other than that it was a great read. I can’t wait to read more in the future!

Antipodes (Antipodes, #1)Antipodes by T.S. Simons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great post-apocalyptic dystopian novel! I’ve had this one on my list for a while and I’m sure glad I finally opened it up!

Since this is the first in a series, there is a lot of care taken to develop the characters and setting. It is well-researched, descriptive, and engaging. The world-building in the novel, of a post-pandemic world, is incredible and the character development is excellent. The author really brings life to this story and keeps the reader coming back for more.

The main character, Cam, is endearing and relatable. The author’s ability to fully develop characters, especially Cam, draws the reader in and enables the reader to become emotionally invested in his life and story.

I’m looking forward to the next one!
