Married Blind: A Marriage of Convenience Hollywood Romance (Kings of Screen, 2)Married Blind: A Marriage of Convenience Hollywood Romance by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book that I have read by this author, and I was blown away at how quickly I read this book! I cannot wait to read the first book in this series, which thankfully these are ones that if you read them out of order, will not mess up what happens or the timeline in the series. In this book, these two people, Abi and Finn, are married at first sight on a reality tv show. The sparks between these two were palpable off of the page let alone between them. I could not read this book fast enough as they had a wonderful story that had conflict and that ultimately ended on a great note. I loved this romance book and cannot wait to read more of the books by this author and read the others in the series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a sucker for a great romance novel and when it is about hockey that makes it even better!! The athletic nature and the romances make for a much better read. This book was phenomenal and left me almost at a loss for words. The chemistry between these characters was one that had me laughing and clinging to the phone needing to know what would happen next. The way the book was written had me loving every second of it. I was sad when I was finished with the book! I cannot wait until I get to read more of the books written by this author and continue reading these novels.

Love Tools (Bluestone Series Book 1) by Isobel Reed – Review by Carlie Del Gallo

Love Tools (Bluestone Series, #1)Love Tools by Isobel Reed
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a cute fun read that mentioned topics that other romance books have not mentioned before, giving it a new meaning and something, that people can enjoy. The main character, Lily, has just been told that her father has died, and he left her a tool shop in his will on the other side of the world. Needing to escape the area she is living, due to not liking the area/people she is surrounded by, she packs up her things and moves looking for a fresh start. Here in this small town, she meets friends and develops a love interest named Jake. Both of these characters grow and learn through instances that surround them that they both have in common, a parent leaving and not returning due to different circumstances. While this was a slow burn read w/o explicit scenes, I found myself not able to put this book down as I had to know what was to happen next! I cannot wait to read the second book in the series when it comes out as her sister is the main character and was a straight up SPIT FIRE in this one. I have no doubt that it will be just as good if not better than this one!

This is the second book that I have read in the series, and it was so good! There was a great continuation from the first story to the second one.

I cannot wait to recommend this series to my friends so that they can read this too.

Degrees of Innocence (Prestian Series, #1)Degrees of Innocence by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OH MY GOSH THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!! I am obsessed with mafia romances and this book was so wonderfully written I cannot put into words just how amazing it was! It started off with the main characters meeting while giving CPR to a patron in the restaurant and then from there the chaos ensued! Literally the tones of the book were amazing, and I could not wait to read the book when I would be on my lunch breaks or finally at home where I could read until my eyes could not read anymore. There were lots of twists and turns in this book that LITERALLY had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was to happen next! I cannot wait to read the other books in the series once they come out and to tell my friends about this! I think I just found my new favorite author!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the WaterFyre series, and it was JUST AS AMAZING as the first book! The way that this author writes the story makes it feel as though you are immersed in the story and not just reading it. It was interesting to me that the characters knew each other from living in the same area but did not start dating until they met again out of the states. Both of the characters were drawn to one another, and their story was so stinking cute. I cannot wait to read more stories by this author and reread this wonderful book over and over again.

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in the series by Leslie Georgeson and I am still in awe. The way that this book was written to tell Adrik and Annika’s story was wonderfully done. The way that these characters interact, and their story unfolded was done in such a wonderful way that I found myself reading instead of working. Adrik underwent something horrific, just like Annika did and once they finally were able to share with one another what the other went through, it solidified their relationship and had them becoming closer to one another. There were lots of twists and turns in this book that had me unable to guess what was going to happen next. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and find out what happens next!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a sucker for a good teacher/student romance book and had to read this when I saw it! This genre of book is a guilty pleasure of mine and this one was so amazing!! This author wrote such an amazing story with these two characters. I found myself not wanting to clock back in from lunch as I just wanted to continue reading!! Juliet is divorced and wants to be in a relationship but does not want to be heartbroken again, I mean who would want that? And then there is James, who is a sweet guy, who kind of keeps to himself who is in a routine and doesn’t know how to get out. When these two meet sparks fly, and their love story/journey is super original and entertaining. I have added this to my reread selection of books for when I can’t find another one. I cannot wait to read more stories by this wonderful author!!

Can I just start off by saying that this book and author are WOAH amazing! I devoured this book super quickly and could not put it down for nothing!!

I cannot wait to reread this book over and over again. I cannot wait to see what the next book the author has in store for us to read.

Pardon Me, PleasePardon Me, Please by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lois Wickstrom has done it AGAIN! Her wonderful stories have captivated me, and I find myself not being able to stop reading her stories. This book is thanksgiving themed, and it came out just in time around the holidays, especially because the main character is Albert the turkey! Albert sees on the TV that the president pardons one turkey a year and wishes it a happy long life and that is what he wants too. This story is a cute, wonderful, captivating read that is fun for all ages. Illustrations are always wonderful in her children’s book and just lend a hand to the wonderful storyline. I cannot wait to read this book to my friend’s children and have them fall in love with this wonderful story like I have!

When I saw that Amy McKinley was releasing this book, I knew that I had to preorder it. The mafia elite series has fast become one of my FAVORITE mafia series that I have read to date. Each book is about a specific couple but still goes in order with the underlying theme/story line that is happening, which is a wonderful thing! This book really sets the stage for the series and was a wonderful addition to read. The way that the author wrote these books, weaved the stories, is such talent and I am in awe. I have found myself rereading the series and will add this to the reread list as this story is one that never gets old. I cannot wait to read more books by this talented author!

I was FLOORED at the way the authors wrote and the story that was unfolding for the main character.

It is getting added to my list of books that I will go back and reread when I cannot find another book that I want to start. I cannot wait to read more books by this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series has fast become one of my favorites to read! I could not get enough of these books and could not put it down once I got ahold of it! This book revolves around Renee, who was kidnapped by terrible people and was able to finally be found and Declan who is a part of the freemasons who has always had a crush on her. I really loved their interaction with one another and the way that their story was written. Renee has a lot of real emotions that people feel when in these situations. It was super refreshing to read this and know that the author has such class writing the story like she did. Now that Renee is back, will she let herself finally fall for Declan or will her emotions and feelings stand in the way of her finally having happiness? I could not get enough of this book!! I cannot wait to buy these books for my sister and our friends to read them!!!

THIS BOOK I COULD NOT PUT DOWN! This was a fantastic enemy to lovers, office romance novel and I found myself wanting to reread it over and over again!! Devlin is a guy who is on the track to become someone in this office and has been warned to stay away from anyone and everyone in the office as it could destroy his future goals within the company. When his super close coworker, Evelyn, suddenly becomes single, all of the thoughts of staying away leave with him. One fateful night has made it where these two do not want to be apart or want to explore dating. This book had many twists and turns that I did not anticipate happening, which made this book all that much better! This is the first book that I have read by this author, and it will most certainly not be the last! I cannot wait to get this book for my friends and have them fall in love with it just as much as I did.

When she suggests that she go undercover to find his sister Jude is at a loss. This book had me in the feels and biting my teeth. You need to read this book because it was just IMMACULATE!!

This is the second book in the series and IT WAS JUST AS GOOD AS THE FIRST BOOK!

While Gemma was going through the motions to find her answers she is thrust into danger and Dominic comes to her rescue. But will he get there in time? You will need to read this book to find out!

When she and her classmates sign up for the school games that is when everything goes haywire. My favorite character this book is Ollie by far. Every time it discussed him, it made me chuckle and laugh. Seriously this book was such a great fast read, and I was disappointed when it ended! I cannot wait for the 3rd and 4th books to come out as I NEED to know what is going to happen. This author is WONDERFUL and all of her books that I have read have been wonderful.
