Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4)
By Phoebe Alexander
What can I say except that everytime I read one of Ms. Alexander’s books they just keep getting better and better!!! I loved this book, it had so much emotion, love, twists and of course some steamy moments. I truly enjoyed experiencing Casey’s story, her past and present, she is such a strong and compassionate woman. I have loved her since I was introduced to her. This book can be read as a standalone but I suggest reading all the books in this series because they are awesome and why would you want to miss out on anything that’s awesome. All of the books in this series have drawn me in and kept me completely enthralled till I read the final page. I highly recommend this book it has everything you need in a great story!!

The Fifth Knight: An Arthurian Legend Reverse Harem Romance (The Knights of Caerleon Series Book 1)
By Claire Luana and Jesikah Sundin
I enjoyed reading this book, from the moment I started reading I was drawn into a world of fantasy, magic, action, and romance. I couldn’t put it down till I had read every page. I really liked the twists and turns on this version of the Legend of King Arthur. I think the Reverse Harem part of the story was written very well. The heroin Fionna is an awesome character, she is strong, and independent and I loved her. This is a must read to find out what sort of twists and turns there are in this particular story, but I will tell you that this is an exceptionally well written story that kept me captivated throughout. I highly recommend this book.

Siren Call (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 3)
By Phoebe Alexander
This book was a great read!! This is the third book in this series and can be read as a standalone. If you haven’t read the other books in this series after reading this book I’m sure you will want to. This is the story of Jessie and Sirena. There were a few issues brought up in this story that I thought was dealt with very well. There were some hot and sexy moments, some mystery, and some twists and turns. Both these women have some trust issues and I enjoyed the progression of their relationship. Once I picked up this book I could not put it down till I got to the end. The author is an amazing storyteller and I enjoy that the characters that are in the other books are brought into each story. I highly recommend this book.

Painting Kuwait Violet
By Pamela Q. Fernandes
I was riveted by this story from beginning to end. This is the first time I have read anything by this author and I am glad I took a chance on a book I wasn’t sure about. This book dealt with a few different issues and it did it very seamlessly. The story of Violet and her reasons for becoming a maid and the issue with the other maids, and so much more was very intriguing. This is a very good book, and a must read if you want to find out where Violet ends up and do they find out what’s happening to the other maids? I found out things about a different culture that I knew nothing about and I truly enjoyed reading this book!! I highly recommend this book.

By Claire Luana
This is the first book I have read by this author and it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed reading this prequel, I am going to read book 1 because I want to know where this story goes. In the beginning of this story Hale is a rich spoiled playboy living a pretty good life. One day that all changes for him and his family and they end up on the run with nothing and trying to survive. In the beginning of this story I really didn’t like Hale but I I grew to really like him especially watching him change and become a better man, I found myself rooting for him. This story drew me in right away and kept me entertained throughout especially with all the action. There are some twists and turns and moments of anger and sadness, all the things for me that make a good book. I recommend this book.

Give and Take (The Thorne Brothers Book 2)
By Lee Kilraine
I loved this book!! This story is sweet, romantic, funny, and heartwarming. I fell in love with all of the characters in this book. The brothers have such a strong bond between them because of the way they grew up. I enjoyed reading about their relationship and then came Rhia Hollis into their lives. She is trying to start her own event planning business, and the brothers, who have their own construction business, have decided to pay it forward and offer free rent for a year for an office space that they have. Rhia ends up the recipient of this great prize but things don’t quite go as planned and she ends up having to share an office with one of the brothers, Wyatt, who is completely opposite of her. He likes order and quiet and she is the complete opposite of that. You know what they say, opposites attract!! Their chemistry is off the charts and very distracting for both of them. I found myself rooting for these two. To find out more about what happens you must read this story. It is a well written wonderful story. I became invested in these characters and couldn’t get enough. I can’t wait to read more of what this author has to offer!! I highly recommend

The Plot by Melinda De Ross
This book had me hooked from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. I read this story in one night because it was that good!! I loved Yoko, she is such a strong, intelligent, and beautiful woman. Yoko has a very unhealthy view about men and relationships because of her being forced into prostitution by a human trafficking ring. She has never been in love and thinks all men only want one thing. Her and her friend manage to get away and they work really hard at starting a new life, but Yoko has added motivation, which is her need for revenge. Yoko then meets Mark who also has never been in love but there is something between these two that you can feel jumping off the pages. Mark is a very strong, intelligent man who hires Yoko to work at his antique store. He is also very intrigued and attracted to her.Both of them have secrets that are holding them back. Can they work through their secrets to experience love. Does Yoko get the revenge she so badly seeks? This is a must read. This story had me on an emotional rollercoaster that I did not want to get off of. I just got done reading it and I want to read it again!!! This is an amazing story you won’t want to miss. This is a 5 star read. I highly recommend this book.

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2)

I loved reading Paisley and Calvin’s story. I have loved reading this series so far, and this book didn’t disappoint it is just as good as he others, but definitely has its own twist. These books can be read as standalone but I suggest reading the others because they are all really good reads! I also enjoyed that some of the characters from the other stories show up in this one. This book is hot and steamy of course but it also had an element of suspense. I love how Paisley is such an independent, strong, and relatable woman. This is a must read to find out if Calvin can convince Paisley that a relationship can be a good thing. I highly recommend this wonderful story you won’t want to put down once you start reading.

Must Remember: Dead or alive they want her back. (Solum Series Book 1)
By Colleen S. Myers
This book was original, fun, action packed, and entertaining. I enjoyed reading about Elizabeth “Beta” Camden, she is a young women who finds herself on a strange planet with big gaps in her memory. She ends up meeting people who are the fost and they are wary of each other, and I think the dynamic between them is very well written including the romance. I really enjoyed reading every minute of this story. I loved all the characters and suspense involved in this story. You must read to find out if she gets all her memories back. You must also read to find out if she can stay out of danger and away from those that want her back, dead or alive. This is a must read, I highly recommend reading this book and can’t wait to read the next one.

Marks of the Mazza: Reverse Harem (Mazza Series Book 1)
By Blake Blessing
I will admit this is the first reverse harem book I have read and I am so glad I decided to go with it. I love the diversity in all the characters involved. This book drew me in from the beginning and kept me captivated throughout. Isolde was just getting by, working two part time jobs and going through the routine of life as a loner. That all changes the night she accidentally gets into the wrong vehicle that she thought was her uber. She is suddenly thrust into a world of magic and she’s told she is the “Mazza” which is the answer to the Fennine/fae, they believe she can bring great change. As Issy is trying to wrap her mind around this huge responsibility and learn their ways, there are also people trying to hurt her. I found while I was reading I was being taken on many different directions, I wasn’t sure who is good, Who is bad? Which is awesome!! Just when you think you might have a grasp there’s a twist in the plot and I found myself rethinking what I thought I knew. I loved the different angles and how bits and pieces of information were revealed. I found myself invested in these characters, I so badly want the lusty legion to be the good guys!! I absolutely loved reading this book, i just couldn’t put it down, and now I’m going crazy waiting to read the next one!!! The author did an exceptional job creating a wonderfully well written story that captured my attention!! I highly recommend this book!!

Another awesome story by Meghan!!! In my opinion you should read the first three books in this series so you have a better background of what’s going on. The stories this author weaves so intricately gets into my head and stays there. There are dark and sadistic things going on in this story and will keep you on the edge of your seat. There are some unpredictable moments and great loss. I cannot say enough great things about this book and the entire series so far. I can’t wait to read the next one. This is a must read you will not be disappointed!

Fisher of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 1)
By Phoebe Alexander
I was definitely intrigued by the synopsis of this book. I enjoyed reading about Leah Miller and Chris “Cap” Sheldon, their chemistry is off the charts. I really liked how the author portrayed the conflict Leah was struggling with between her religion and her sexuality. I thought both of the characters were really strong in their own ways along with some of the supporting characters in this story. I enjoyed learning more about the swingers lifestyle, to be honest I really had no idea what it was really about, I had only heard the term but without much detail. I think Phoebe did an excellent job with her detail and descriptions of the lifestyle and setting of this story. I found myself rooting for these two, hoping they can find a way to work through the issues and be together. You must read if you want to find out if they end up together. This is the first book in this series and I can’t wait to read the next. I highly recommend this book, keep in mind that this is an adult book.

Holy cow!! This book is a dark, disturbing masterpiece!! This book drew me in from the beginning and kept its evil grip on me the entire time. As I’m reading this story I can’t believe what I’m reading but yet I am unable to look away. I could not stop till I found out what happens to Lucy, Romeo, and even Dominic. I don’t want to give anything away but I will say that this is a must read!! It will stay with me for a very long time, it feels like its inside my head, which doesn’t happen to me me very often. I can only imagine how draining this must have been to write because I know how draining it was to read, and I found it to be original and all around awesome read!! I highly recommend this book for someone who is looking for something original and disturbing, in every way!!

Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan

This book put me through an emotional ringer!! The love between Noah and Quinn is so amazing and supportive and hot!! There is so much I want to say but I don’t want to give anything away. My heart broke for the struggles and loss they had to endure. Where a lot of couples would have split up because of what they went through especially at such a young age, it made them stronger. Noah grew up in foster care and never had a family so when he found Quinn he new that he wanted to build a family with her. Quinn has a wonderful family and she’s hoping to find the kind of love that her parents have. Quinn’s parents are very much in love, and she has a very close relationship with them and her little brother. I became completely emotionally invested while I was reading this wonderful, heartbreaking, full of hope story. I can’t say enough good things about this story it was so well written, I cried tears of sadness and tears of happiness. I felt as though I was right there with them. I highly recommend this book, it is truly a gem.

This is the first book I have read by this author and in I’m ecstatic I did!!! I was captivated from the start and this story kept me entertained throughout its entirety. I loved the chemistry between Charli and Blake. Oh how I wish I had a grandpa like Charli’s. There is plenty of action while these two are protecting a teenager named Alicia, who is troubled herself. I don’t want to give anything away but this book is a must read. There was so much emotion throughout this wonderfully told story.I haven’t read the other books in this series and I had no problem following what was going on, so you don’t need to have read the others, but after reading this I am definitely going to go read the others in this series. This book is that good that I am now a forever fan of this author!! I highly recommend reading this book.

Transformations: The Shifter Series: Volume One (The Shifters Book 1)
By Cari Schaeffer
I really enjoyed reading this book. I think it was very well thought out and had wonderful detail. I think the emotions that Katherine was going through about wanting to be normal and fit in like most teenagers is an emotion that most teenagers and adults can relate to. Katherine and her family are pretty close and protective of each other. When Christopher comes into their lives they aren’t sure if they can or should trust him, because he is part of a family that has been their enemy for a very long time. This book kept me enthralled and entertained. There are plenty of different emotions throughout this story and they all flow so well. I found that I liked this author’s writing style and I will definitely be reading more books by this author, especially the next book in this series. I have been sucked in now and I need to know what happens next!! I recommend this book for all ages I believe everyone can enjoy it as I have.

Wow, this book was intense and action packed!!! This is the first book I have read by this author and I was a little unsure because I hadn’t heard anything about the author, I am so glad I decided to give it a chance. I enjoyed reading about Blaze and Valerie. Blaze was tortured for a long time by a vampire and it still haunts him. He is a hybrid mercenary who along with his brothers are hunting and killing as many vampires as they can. Valerie is a police officer who is trying to take down as many vampires as she can because of what they did to her sister. They are brought together by a murder investigation. This book kept me on the edge of my seat with all the action and wanting to know what was going to happen next. This was an awesome read, I loved every minute of it and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. This a must read!!

This book is will take you on a suspenseful, and erotic experience. This is the first book I have read by this author and I think it was well written. Even though there are steamy erotic scenes like something from https://www.hdpornvideo.xxx/?hl=de it didn’t take away from the story, it just made it better, which I thought was awesome. This book kept me guessing and captivated. This is one of those books that I couldn’t put down once I started reading. This will definitely not be the last book I read from this author. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I really enjoyed the authors writing style. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this story!!! This book gave me all the feels I look for in a good story. I laughed, I cried, I got angry, and I even swooned. Lauren and Gage have so much history, love, and hurt. Can they find their way back to each other? Will Gage trust that Lauren won’t hurt him again. Is he able to tell Lauren the secret he’s keeping from everyone except his dad. Will Lauren tell him the real reason she broke up with him all those years ago.I enjoyed the banter between these two and the sexual tension is off the charts!!! I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading. I became so invested in this story and the characters, that it felt like I was experiencing their lives right along with them. I can’t say enough good things about the feelings I experienced while reading this book. I highly recommend reading this awesome story!!!
