A Frothy Christmas Kiss
By Allyson R. Abbott

This book is a sweet , romantic Christmas story that you won’t want to miss. The cat (Brian) (Bagpuss) (Damned cat) is one smart animal. The author did an awesome job making me feel like I was in the coffee shop with them experiencing the smells and tastes with her attention to detail. There are great characters in this story that make it that much more interesting. Let’s not forget all the flirting and chemistry between Dan and Kat. I really enjoyed reading this story with some unexpected twists. I recommend this book, it is a fun, sweet read with a hint of mystery.

A Pink Christmas Kiss
By Allyson R. Abbott

This is a wonderful, sweet Christmasy romantic story. This was a great story to read with characters that are relatable and fun to get to know. I really enjoyed getting to know Billie and her loyalty to her family. I couldn’t help myself, I had to keep rooting for her and Leroy to work out their communication problem and get their happily ever after. Billie is a strong character and Leroy is such a sweet and caring man. This book gave me all the feel good emotions I love in a good Christmas story. This is the third book in the series and can be read as a standalone but my suggestion is to read them all because they are awesome!! I recommend this book, and this author as a whole because she wonderful storyteller.

The Moon in Her Eyes: a witch’s tale
By Nikki Broadwell

I was sucked into this magical fantasy as soon as I started reading. This is a fast paced book with a lot of action, drama, romance, and time travel. Emeline is trying to figure out why the timeline is askew, and if she’s the cause. Will she be able to make things right? The author did an amazing job, with so much going on in the story it wasn’t confusing or erratic. Her story telling and world building made this an exceptional read for me. I was on the edge of me seat for most of the time. I loved the characters in this story, they are very well developed. This book is the second book but can be read as a standalone without feeling like you have missed out on anything. I truly enjoyed the journey this story took me on. I highly recommend this book.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss
By Allyson R. Abbott

This is the second book in the Christmas kiss series and can be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed reading the funny antics, sweet romance and so much more. Mel is a wonderful character that is having a crazy and rough time traveling to Spain to house sit for her aunt. We can all relate to the craziness of traveling that’s for sure and it’s made more difficult for Mel with the language barrier. Language barrier or not when a hot stranger offers help you cant help but swoon a little. This story definitely has the magic of Christmas in it. This story is a fun and sweet read that should not be missed. I highly recommend this book.

This book gripped me from the beginning and held on to me throughout the entire story. I fell in love with this series since I read the first book and each story just gets better and better. This book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading all of them because they are all awesome stories and if your like me you will want to know all of the characters better. Lucas and Quinn’s story took through the emotional ringer and I loved every minute of it!! This is a must read to find out if they get their HEA. They are both very strong characters because they had to be and they have both been through so much that I found myself rooting for them. I highly recommend this book it is a truly wonderful book.

This story was a fun loving holiday read. I enjoyed reading this book, it made me laugh and swoon a bit. Christmas is my favorite time of year so this book was just what I was looking for. I thought the chemistry between Elf and Rudi was great and I loved their banter. I loved Sue (Santa’s Little Helper), he was adorable. The town where this takes place felt magical just like Christmas should feel. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, I’m sure it will be a wonderful romantic holiday read just like this one.

Wow!! This book picks right where the first one leaves off, so if you haven’t read Hope’s Decree I encourage you to do so. This book is just as awesome as the first one, there is unexpected twists and turns, action, suspense, romance, and everything else you could want in a great read! I don’t want to give anything away so let me just say as soon as I picked up this book I could not stop reading. I needed to know what happens with Trinity, Blain, Morpheus, and their friends. Will the light win over the darkness? Is Trinity up for the challenge? I enjoyed watching her grow in this story and experience even more of her powers. The ending, all I can say is OMG, I need to read book 3 now!! I highly recommend this wonderful read.

I loved this book!!!! I have loved the entire rogue series and this book is no different. I have become completely invested in all of these characters, the band are a family in their own way and I love the relationships between all of them. The entire group have their own struggles and Felicity and Conor are no different. The author did such an amazing job pulling you in and making you feel like your going through their troubles, triumphs, and everything in between right along with them. Lara has become one of my favorite authors, she doesn’t hold back and puts you through the emotional ringer. This book has all the feels I need in a GREAT read!!! I don’t want to give anything away so you will need to read this story find out what happens with Felicity and Conor’s relationship, and if Felicity can work out her emotional troubles. I am always happy to be able to connect with the other band members and their families in each book. Although you don’t have read the other books in the series to be able to read this one I highly recommend that you do, not only because they are awesome, but also because you get to know each of them and have a better understanding of their relationship with each other.

This is the second book in the Lie to me series and it is my suggestion that you read the first one because this one picks up right where the first one leaves off. Layla is heading to Guadalajara for a change of scenery after Mateo left her with nothing but a letter, and to continue with her her writing. Not to worry though, Layla meets some new hot men that you will want to read more about. The author did a wonderful job pulling me in from the beginning with her very descriptive and detailed words. I read the first book in this series and truly enjoyed it and I’m glad that this one had the same level of energy and passion. I loved reading this emotionally charged story, with its twists, danger, steamy moments, and heart tugging at times. I was glad to see some returning characters and meet the new ones in this book.

This author had become one of my favorites, I have truly enjoyed reading every story and have become invested in each of these wonderful characters. I am so glad to see that the characters from the other books make appearances in each story. Zoe and Tim’s story is heartwarming, hilarious and so much more. Zoe is a strong and independent woman who finds herself in embarrassing situations whenever her hot neighbor Tim is around. I found myself not only smiling but actually laughing out loud at times. They have both been hurt in the past and are apprehensive about having someone in their life.

I really got into this story as soon as I started reading it. The author did an amazing job making this story realistic and connecting me with the characters. Shannon is a really likeable character and just what John needs to feel alive again. John who at first isn’t the most likeable guy, which is understandable because of his demeanor after everything he has been through, but he will grow on you. I enjoyed the banter and sexual tension between these two.I also enjoyed the action and danger that goes along with the romance in this story. If you want to know where their story goes you need to read it to find out. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. I recommend this book.

I am in love with this series!! You really need to read the first two books in this series before reading this one because this one picks up where the other one leaves off and you will need to get the full picture of Kat’s and Chase’s relationship to truly understand what’s going on. This story is full of action, danger, and of course steamy moments. As their story continues we get to watch these characters grow and see where their relationship goes. Can Kat learn to trust Chase? You will need to read this amazing story to find this out and more. I won’t give anything away but I will tell you that there’s an unexpected twist that you won’t want to miss. The author does a wonderful job pulling you into the story and making you feel like you’re along for the ride, I couldn’t put this book down as soon as I started reading, it’s that good!!!

I absolutely loved Trinity’s character, she is a strong, stubborn young woman still trying to figure things out and make it through her senior year. Blain, who runs hot and cold towards Trinity, is also a very strong and likable character. The progression of Trinity’s powers and her relationship with the people helping her was written flawlessly. There are more characters to get to know and love in this awesome story. I loved how the author created the dynamic of light vs dark, good vs evil. As soon as I started reading this book I could not put it down, it flowed so well I had to keep turning the pages. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.
