The Traitor (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 2)
by India Kells

This book definitely turns up the heat. This book is just as awesome as the first one. Spencer moved to a small town and bought a garage to get away from his past. He fights his demons on a regular basis and sees himself as a traitor. There is a woman who gets in his head as soon as he lays eyes on her. Josie who married an abusive man and is trying to get a divorce is working herself to the bone to try to achieve her freedom. Gage comes into the picture to see his old friend and to get away and that’s when things really heat up and get more intriguing. This story has more than steamy moments, it has romance, intrigue, danger, and heartache. This is definitely a must read. I highly recommend this book.

Fools Rush In: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 3
by Donna S. Frelick

This was an enjoyable read, and I’m glad I got to know some of the characters from the other books better. I have read the first two books in this series and they were a great read as well so I suggest reading them but you don’t have to read them to enjoy and follow this one. This book is more of a prequel to the other 2 books. It is full of action and adventure, there also some steamy moments. The author is very detailed and makes you feel as though you can picture these places in your mind. I like this author’s writing style, the story flows so well and there are wonderful characters. This series as a whole has been an entertaining read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I recommend this book and this series.

CLAIMED (The Torzial Affair Book 3)
by Via Mari

Another great book from a great author. Via Mari never disappoints. I started out reading the prestian series and I was hooked and now that I’m reading this series she is quickly becoming one one my favorite authors. There is action, danger, friendship, romance, steamy moments and so much more. I get so drawn into these stories that I become invested in the outcome of the characters. The author weaves such an exceptional storyline that I was unable to put this book down. I love reading Jenny and Brian’s story, I just can’t get enough. After everything that Jenny has been through I can’t help but want Brian to be able to fix it all. I highly recommend this book if you want to know what happens. This is an awesome series!

Al Capone at the Blanche Hotel
by Linda Bennett Pennell

This book was so much more than I expected it to be. I think the author did an exceptional job weaving both the past storyline and the present storyline together. There was romance, suspense, danger and more. I was expecting Al Capone to be more of the main character but that’s not what how it was for me and yet it still worked so well, he was definitely still a big presence but in a different way than I expected. This really was intriguing throughout the entire book and I loved every minute. I was unable to put it down until I finished. This story is full of wonderful and interesting characters. I highly recommend this book.

Finding Ruth: A Daughter’s Quest to Discover Her Mother’s Past
by Cynthia Hamilton

This was a very engaging read. I was hooked from the beginning. I found myself curious as to how difficult this was to write, or maybe not difficult at all, maybe it revealed more of an understanding. This book was so well written that I felt like I was right there. Ruth went through a lot in her lifetime which explains some of her bitterness later in life. She was truly a strong beautiful woman in her youth, but it seems as though her search for love left her wanting. I found this book to be very intriguing. This is definitely a must read. I highly recommend this book.

Regency Love: Reflections of a Young Lady
by TL Clark

This author does an excellent job on taking you back into history. I have read other books by this author and have enjoyed everything I have read, I will admit that even knowing I like this author I was a little unsure about this story only because I don’t normally read books from this era. I am ecstatic that I did decide to read it because it took me to a place of wonderful balls, parties, clothing, and then some not so flattering things from that time. Reading about Lady Anne and what she experiences during her “coming out ” season was entertaining, eye opening and made me really like her. She is naive about men and so choosing a would be husband is very difficult, it’s hard to know who has good intentions and who doesn’t. Lady Anne’s father makes things even more difficult for her but ultimately he makes the decision since that’s how it’s done back then. There are some wonderful characters in this story that I grew fond of. This story was so well written that I felt like I was there in it. I truly enjoyed this read with its happy times and sad ones, along with witty banter. I highly recommend this book.

Tails Always Wins (Chasing Tails Book 1)
by C.A. King

This story definitely grabbed my attention from the start and kept hold the entire time. This book is a very good paranormal fantasy, with action, romance, adventure, and times made you look at the human race with wider eyes.I really liked the two lead characters Brodie and Tails, even though they had very different reasons for the way they did things they still had a common goal. There are characters in this book I completely disliked that have their own agenda and I found myself so engrossed that I’m hoping for their demise. This was very well written, easy to follow and entertaining. I don’t want to give anything away but this is a must read and I can’t wait to read what’s next. I highly recommend this book

by Donna S. Frelick

This is the second book in this series and it’s just as compelling and entertaining as the first one. I was glad to see some of the same characters in this book and meet some new ones. This book can be read as a standalone, it is my suggestion that you read the first book in this series because it’s a great read and you meet some of the characters from this book. This story was full of action, vivid detail, great world building, and romance, everything I could ask for in a great sci fi. Lana is an FBI agent who is strong and independent. Gabriel is also a strong character with some mystery to him. The attraction is between the two is obvious but can they get to Asia and her son before something happens to them? The author definitely took me on a wonderful adventure and I can’t wait to read the next one to find out where I will be taken next. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book. Another great book by this wonderful author. I am never disappointed when I read a Via Mari book, they are always full of action, suspense, and romance. This one is no different. I am glad I am getting to know more characters in each book and I also appreciate when characters from the other books show up. I don’t want to give anything away but when you read this story it fills in parts from the first book that you didn’t even know were missing. I really enjoyed how two sisters that were raised the same and how differently they deal with issues from their past. I loved the two main characters in this story and found myself hoping that they find love. If you want to know how this turns out then you must read this awesome suspenseful book with some unexpected twists and turns. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this book.

This is the second book in this series and I loved it just as much as the first one. The author does an amazing job pulling you in and taking hold. There is action, danger, suspicion, love, and room temperature rising moments. I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading, I needed to know if Jenny and Brian were going to find a way to prove her innocence in her ex’s murder? Were they going to find a way out of danger? Do they figure out who they can trust? All these questions and I needed answers!! I couldn’t read it quick enough. I also wondered if their relationship was going to be able to make it through everything that was being thrown at them. It is my advice that you read these books in order so that you have a better understanding of what’s going on. I have read other books by this author and I can tell you that she is an amazing writer and I have loved everything I have read. I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was easy to follow along what was happening in the present and what happened in the past. I liked how we got history in mythology throughout the story. The characters were fun and the friendships they shared made it that much better of a read. The author did awesome with the characters in keeping them young yet didn’t make them completely stupid as sometimes I have noticed happens in some books when dealing with teenagers. I thought this story was entertaining and kept me captivated throughout. I highly recommend this wonderful read. I have read other books by this author and if you like fantasy I suggest you check out other books from her, you will not be disappointed.

This is the first book I have read by this author but it will not be my last. The author did such an exceptional job weaving a wonderful fantasy world full of magic and so much more.

The characters in this book had deeper layers to them which are the reasons they do what they do. The chemistry between Locke and the doctor was off the charts and then add in Gage and it turns everything up a notch. There is suspense, action, and nail biting moments in this story that you don’t want to miss. This is an incredible read that was written expertly. I highly recommend this book.

I found this book to be charming and original. This story was very entertaining and I found myself laughing at some antics that go on. I loved Lady Sydney Hartridge character, she is intelligent and a bit quirky. I am sure that when she decided to move forward with her experiment that she never thought of what would happen if there were any feelings involved. This book had me turning pages to find out more about these wonderful characters. I laughed, I got angry and I was rooting for a good outcome for my favorite characters. You must read to find out if this experiment causes more of a scandal. This is a fun read, I recommend this book, can’t wait to read the next one.

I found this book to be fun, romantic, and unique. I loved how a lot of the laws include Aiko. Although she goes about things in a very unconventional way, I still thought she was sassy and really wanted to do the right thing. She night bend the rules a little but it’s for all the right reasons. I felt like her sisters were really hard on her ( not that they didn’t have good reason) but it would be interesting to get to know them better. I like Alejandro’s character as well, even the times I rolled my eyes at him. Over all I really enjoyed this book and I recommend reading this story.

This book is no exception, there is plenty of steamy, dangerous, and suspenseful moments in this read. I was happy to see that some of the characters from the Prestian series are in this series, it’s like visiting old friends. You don’t need to have read her previous series to follow this book but I do recommend reading them to enhance your experience and also because they are great books. This book is Jay and Sasha’s story and I found myself unable to put this book down as soon as I started reading it.
