Finding His Zen
by Tammy Mannersly

This was a short and sweet romantic read. I read this book in one sitting and when I finished I didn’t want it to end. I became invested in Zen and Seb and wanted everything to work out for them. There is attraction and chemistry between them, but there are other factors that get in the way of these two pursuing something further. Do they find a way to see if their attraction can become more? This is a must read to find out. This author always brings a great read to the table. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this book.

This is a book I enjoyed reading. This was a fast paced story full of action, danger, romance, and wonderful characters. This book can be read as a standalone but I think you should read them all because I have and I think they are all great reads. The author kept me captivated with the twists and turns and attention to detail. I liked how the relationship progressed between Loyda and Big Al. Will they be able to find out who is behind the mass disappearances? I very much enjoy this author’s writing style. I recommend this book.

I absolutely loved reading this story. Let me start off by saying I love Manda Mellett and every book she writes is awesome and this one is no different.

I found this book to be original and intriguing. I enjoyed the dual pov’s especially coming from two strong female characters. Jayla and Sienna have a lot in common, they are both fiercely loyal, they think it’s their job to protect their closest friends. This story had mystery, danger, romance, wonderful characters, twists and turns, and more. I found myself completely taken into the story and wanting to unlock all the secrets that certain people are hiding. It is hard to tell who is helping them and who is trying to hurt them. I was left wanting more, I cannot wait to read the next book. This is a must read. I highly recommend this book.

Lucky at Love: Some guys just never give up…
by Cynthia Hamilton

I enjoyed reading this book. I have read other books by this author and I enjoy her writing style, she never disappoints. Allison is a writer that works for a magazine and after meeting Jake at her friend’s wedding she found his multiple marriages intriguing. I think she had a hard time looking at her own marriage and some of the issues played a part in her decision to write this story. Her relationship with her husband seemed more like a business deal than any sort of romantic relationship. I found Jake to be very interesting and his views to be refreshing. I enjoyed the banter between these two, they challenged each other and I think they both found it to be very stimulating. There are some interesting and wonderful characters in this book. The author also did a wonderful job relaying the details in this story so much so I felt like I was there in the story. If you want to find out what happens then this is a must read. I recommend this book.

I loved reading this heartwarming sweet romantic story. Let me start off by saying I loved the first book, Kelly and Tate’s story, but I loved this one even more! The attraction between Gia and Tyler is off the charts but everything that Gia has been through recently she doesn’t think acting on the attraction is a good idea. Gia just lost a big account for her firm because of a sleaze ball and her boss doesn’t have her back so now she is off to Texas to prove she still has what it takes. Tyler is putting all his hopes, dreams and money into his new wine venture. Both of these characters feel like they have a lot to prove, for different reasons. This is a must read to find out what happens between these two. This is a wonderful story of love, family, friends, and some interesting small town people. I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

I enjoyed this book. This story has originality, magic, fantasy, romance, and wonderful characters. Lady Isra is dark and evil, and she likes it that way. She prefers to be alone and away from humans that she feels are inferior to her. The relationship between her and her companion Astrid was interesting and I enjoyed reading about it. The author did a wonderful job in the details especially when Lady Isra would walk in the forest, I felt like I was right there in it. I would have liked to know what became of Romeo.

This was such a sweet and emotional story. There were definitely some tears and laughter while reading this book. Lesley has moved to a small town where she inherited a house from her aunt. She is recently divorced and is going to try to get on her feet again and regain her independence. John is a contractor who has lost his wife and is trying to keep his business afloat, but he isn’t sure he wants to work for a city girl. When these two meet there is definitely attraction but neither one of them are in the market for a relationship. As I got further into the story I couldn’t help but become invested in their lives and want what’s best for them. There are also other characters in this book that make this story that much better. The attention to detail in this book made it so I felt like I was right there in the story. I highly recommend this book.
