Hanging Softly in the Night (Detective Nick Larson #1)Hanging Softly in the Night by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hanging Softly in the Night
By: Maria Elena Alonso – Sierra

This is the best kind of detective novel. The time where the pressure comes jumping of the page. The kind that is fast paced and filled with twists and turns. The kind that you don’t want to put down until it is done. The kind with a hero who has a backstory and who is slightly damaged and has a complicated life. Nick Larson is definitely the detective that you are rooting for from the very first page, who is likable and relatable. I loved that this also focused on his love life and I loved his demeanor. I definitely want to read more from him and also more by this author!

The Taste of Light
By: Giovanna Siniscalchi

This is the second book in the Winemaker’s series. I went into this book with high expectations as I LOVED the first book in the series. I have to say that this one did not disappoint. I love that this book focused on Pedro and his rise from “darkness”. In the first book, I did not have a favorable opinion of Pedro. However, I loved watching how he changed and developed as a person as he was on the run from the authorities as well as once he met Annie. I loved this historical romance. I hope that there is more to come in the series!

Falling Home
By: Libby kay

I absolutely loved this story. I loved that this was about an ex husband who never really got over his ex and that the ex-wife ran as far as she could. I also loved that Max (the ex-husband) had an amazing relationship with his ex’s father, because I think that an overlooked part of stories can be the people on the outside who are impacted by the divorce. This goes for in real life as well. I also truly loved that when Ginny came home to help her father, the entire small town she used to live in conspires for them. This truly left me feeling the happily ever after. I highly recommend this story.

This was such a good read. I loved the banter between the two main characters, Katarina and Chase. This book kept me reading until the very end. I loved the dichotomy of the alpha male and the strong female. I also loved how the title was in play throughout the book. It really had me looking at the various degrees of innocence that one possesses. Finally, this book left me hanging with several questions. Which I think was smart of the author to do as it definitely has me wanting to read book two in the series right now!

Snow In Love
Libby Kay

This is the sweetest love story. It is about two paralympic athletes who are training by themselves at a ski lodge that is closed for renovations. They are the only two there with their trainer over Christmas. Both have reputations that proceed them, however, there is more to both of them than their reputations.
I loved watching the two of them fall in love. I loved Sienna’s character and could definitely understand how she was feeling, especially about how she didn’t know what was going to happen with the rest of her life – just knowing that she was ready to stop being micromanaged. I truly enjoyed Connor’s character. I also loved how he was ready to be more than a party boy and a womanizer. I loved their banter and they were just so much fun.
This was a very fast, easy read and I definitely loved reading about it snuggled up under the blanket by the tree. Its the perfect book if you are looking for something to read during the time between Christmas and New Year’s

National Parks
Laikyn Meng

The first thing I want to point out is that there is a trigger warning on this book and that it is very valid. However, this is definitely a must read book. Every once in a while I read a book that stays with me long past the end of the book. The kind of book that lingers in your soul, leaves you thinking about the characters well after it ends. The kind of book that makes you look at humanity just a little bit differently. This is one of those books. Phoebe and Enzo are wonderfully broken characters who felt so human, so real. I wanted to reach out and touch them. I felt this story so deeply I cried at several points throughout. I definitely encourage everyone to read it!

Faultless Love
K.G. Fletcher

This is my first K.G. Fletcher book and I have to say that it was absolutely amazing! It is a beautiful love story that portrays how the choices we make impact us. It takes place six years after Teddy has been incarcerated for a crime he did not commit. I believe that the book does an excellent job portraying the changes in not only Teddy, but in his family and most importantly in the woman he loved when he went away. I enjoyed watching the evolution of Teddy and those close to him once they are all reunited. The author did a beautiful job making everyone’s emotions almost palpable off the page. I definitely think that this is a must read and I am looking forward to enjoying more books by K.G. Fletcher in the future.

This was such a sweet book. I read the first book in this trilogy and loved it. I definitely was expecting a lot out of this book because how can you follow up a woman torn between twins. However, I also expected a lot because I wanted a lot for Austin. It was clear that his heart was broken by Mavis and I definitely wanted to see him get his happily ever after. I love how he found someone who was everything he wasn’t. I also loved how fast paced this story was. I did not want to put it down or for it to end. I definitely recommend this book and can’t wait for the next installment in the trilogy.

Revenge Never Rests
By: Laurie Lewis

This book is the second book in the Tallie Brown series. I never read the first book before stumbling upon this book and I will say that it pretty much works as a standalone. I do highly recommend reading the first book first, only because there is a lot of backstory needed that made the first portion of the book hard for me to follow. However, once I got a grasp on the characters and their backstory, I found the book absolutely impossible to put down. As a character, I really liked Tallie. Her back story was hard to relate to at first, but she is such an interesting and complex character that I found it impossible not to root for her. I don’t want to give too much information because anything else will spoil it. Pay close attention when reading this because there are so many clues hidden throughout this book. It definitely hooked me and didn’t let me go until the next page. I can’t wait to continue reading more about these characters in upcoming books!

The Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch
Julia Brewer Daily

This book was very good. The author is incredibly talented at painting a picture with descriptions. It was very easy to close my eyes and imagine exactly what she was describing.
I will say that at times this talent made the book seem a little wordy. However, that wordiness did not take away from the absolute delight that is the story. This story is more than meets the eye. It is told in the modern era but there are points in time where the story makes you feel as if you have been transported back in time. I have to say my favorite part of the book is Emma. Emma is a strong female protagonist who you will be rooting for throughout the entire story. More importantly, Emma is the type of character who stays with you long after the story is over. Truly her story is one you will want to read again, as I am sure there are pieces I didn’t pay close enough attention to that I would cherish during a second reading.

I truly enjoyed this second chance romance. The characters were completely loveable. I also felt that the storyline was completely believable. I also loved that I could feel the butterflies between Brad and Mary even though they were years out of high school. I know that I could relate to misunderstandings in high school. I love that this misunderstanding is given the chance to be set right. More importantly I love that you could feel their emotions jump off the page. If there is one thing this story definitely had going for it was that the author is able to pull you in to it. I found myself thinking about my own high school experiences and wondering how I would handle it if the opportunity presented itself to correct these understandings. It definitely got me thinking about how time changes people and how in as many ways as you change you might also stay the same. I loved this second chance romance!

More Than
By: Diane Barnes

I LOVED this book. This is definitely the type of book with a main character that is so relatable. I think that most women can relate to that feeling of losing themselves. Peggy lost herself in raising her children, who no longer need her. Now its time for her to reinvent herself, or find herself again. She is obsessed with a television show with a medium who can talk to the dead. This makes sense, since she lost her husband years ago. She is always starting a new diet – tomorrow – especially since the dr is harping on her. However, as her kids are leaving for college, they give her a gift one that might just be the key to finding herself.
I do not have any children, yet, I found myself really relating to the character of Peggy. I could relate to the not knowing who you are anymore. The always thinking that the next diet starts tomorrow. The longing for something else, something different, something for her.
This book was amazing and is definitely something that I didn’t want to end. I can not recommend this enough!

This is a fantastic mystery, with a female heroine. I have to say that I have read no other of the Jorja Knight books before this one and this one definitely stands on its own. BUT I loved it so much that I will definitely be going back to read the other ones. Jorja Knight is a wonderful heroine who uses her PI skills to solve mysteries. This book was full of twists and turns and even contained a twist of a possible curse. I was definitely guessing until the very end. I highly recommend it!

This is the sweetest story! It contains the sweetest main character – Amaleigha and it focuses on her love of nature. This story does a great job of showing its young readers that anything really is possible that you believe in. I love that it also builds creative thinking. I have to say my favorite part was the focus of nature. I really think it would have children thinking bigger about the outdoors around them and inspire them to get out and be creative in nature! Great Story!

I have to say that I am a fan of a really good murder mystery and this one did not disappoint. It is the first in a new series and I am definitely ready and waiting for the next book to come out! To me, one of the most important pieces of a murder mystery is that the author is able to keep you on your toes with all the twists and turns and keep you guessing until the end. This story definitely does not disappoint with that. I recommend reading this for a fast paced, keep you guessing old fashioned mystery!

This story was so much fun! It was just the kind of holiday read I was looking for. Teegan and Tenley were such amazing characters Their personalities lead to such amazingly fun banter between them. It also lead to such spicy scenes! I have to say that this is the first Susan Renee book that I have read, but it definitely won’t be my last. She was amazing at writing steamy scenes but also allowing for character development throughout the book. Both Teegan and Tenley developed both as individuals and as a couple. I will definitely be looking for more of her books to read over the upcoming holiday week!

This was such a good book with a very unique plot line. I have to say that it had so many twists and turns that I did not see coming. I truly enjoyed the character of Jenna and I felt that she was very well developed. The author did a great job explaining why Jenna is leary of trusting people and is even more distraught to discover she might have been duped again.
I think Andy was an even better character. I loved the amount of depth there was to him. I also loved how he always was trying his best to do the right thing.
Jenna and Andy’s circumstances were less than ideal but their banter was something I truly loved. I definitely loved this book and read it in less than one day. I didn’t like whenever I had to put it down. It was one that you will want to keep reading to find out what will happen next.
I definitely recommend this book!

Gunner
By: TJ Beach
5*
At the moment I am loving books that include our current life situation. At first, I thought that I would hate them and would prefer books that show characters experiencing life as we were used to. However the more I read books in a post pandemic world, the more I realize I like reading books that make me see characters in situations that are really really relatable.
At the beginning of the book we meet, Gary and Debbie. Gary is man of mystery and Debbie wants to know more. Debbie is Gary’s new boss in a private investigator office. Debbie and Gary have grown close and everyone in Debbie’s family loves Gary, even her husband. Gary spends lots of time with Debbie and her kids. When Debbie’s mom tests positive for coronavirus, they find out that they all must quarantine. This means that Gary will be staying with Debbie and her family, because she doesnt want him to be alone for two whole weeks. This time gives Gary a chance to tell her about himself, his story and what all he has seen. This won’t be an easy task for Gary but he must help his friend distract herself from her situation.
I absolutely loved this story. I love the realness of the situation, from the despair of Debbie’s Mother when she tests positive. To the family’s reaction to having to quarantine. However, the part I loved the most was the friendship between Debbie and Gary. This felt like a real life friendship and their care for one another was palpable. Gary’s story was absolutely fascinating and I loved reading the background about him. What has happened to him to make him the way he is.
This is the third book in a series, but I have not read the first two books (yet). This definitely reads as a standalone and I had no problem following the storyline as I was reading. I definitely think this is a must read!

And Then She Fell
By: Dreena Collins

Every once in a while I pick up a book that is so well written, so convincing that I find myself thinking about it long after I finish reading it. And Then She Fell is one of those books. It is the story of a mother who doesn’t trust her daughter’s death. She doesn’t believe what the reports are saying. She can’t believe that it was just an accident. There must be more, doesn’t there? The author does a fantastic job illustrating the grief and despair a mother faces in this situation. The characters are amazingly well written and there is so much drama! This is a fantastic book written for anyone who loves crime stories, especially those with an air of mystery surrounding them.

This book contains three major characters whose stories lead them to the Mansfield Supper Club. It details the decisions and life’s twists and turns that brings them to the Supper Club.

This book is definitely one where it is hard to say any more about it because it is so good that I want to allow everyone to experience its magic for themselves. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book! I cannot recommend that you read this enough.

Finding Bryce
By: Debra Parmley
4*

This book was very very good. It lost one star because the first part of the book took a little to get into. I thought the introductions of all the characters was a little clunky and overwhelming. There were so many introductions of the brotherhood that, while needed, felt very overwhelming.
However, once the plot gets going – it was impossible to put the book down. Pippa fled her ex-husband to protect herself and her family. She felt like she could finally let her guard down when she finds out that her ex-husband is in jail. However, she can’t relax long because soon her ex is coming for revenge.
Pippa shared one wonderful night with Diesel. Diesel is a member of the Navy SEALS. After that night, she finds herself pregnant. However, she never plans on anything more than one night. So she chooses to raise her child by herself. However, their lives become very entangled once Diesel realizes he has a son and that Pippa is in danger.
This was an amazing start to what will be a great series. I am anxiously awaiting book 2. I definitely recommend this quick read.

This is such an amazing romance. One thing I have learned is that Debbie Cromack is amazing at writing a slow burn romance with amazing characters. This is the second book in the Wounded Hearts Series. It definitely could stand alone, but I definitely recommend reading the first book first. This is due to the fact that these are wonderful characters many of whom we got to know and love in the first book. I loved how Candi was introduced in the first book and I thought she was such a great best friend for Destiny. I’m so happy to see that her story was continued and developed with her getting her turn to fall in love. Enzo quite possibly might be the best boyfriend anyone could imagine. He is so caring for Candi and I found myself rooting for them with every page. I loved the development of their romance and I definitely cannot wait to see what Book 3 in the series holds!

This was such a good romance book. I tend to read when I am on my break at work and I can honestly say that I was truly upset when my break was over. I wanted to keep reading what was going to happen between Nicco and Destiny. I loved how there was a very slow build up to their romance. I wanted to read more when the story was over. I love the character of Nicco as he is what I want to believe many celebrities are like. Incredibly kind and caring. I also loved Destiny and her relationship with her best friend Candi. I loved how descriptive it was in the beginning about their friendship as we all have that friend that is the polar opposite of us. If it wasn’t for Candi’s personality Nicco and Destiny never would have been able to meet and connect. This was such a great book that I didn’t want to put down!

5*

This book focuses on a female MC Club. The Devils Handmaiden MC to be exact. The women in this club are the kind who have lived through hell and are now able to talk about it. Their mission is to save other women from living through their hell.
Tink is the main character and she is the president of the club. She is incredibly strong willed and determined. She would have to be to still be alive. She feels like her life is about to change in a major way. This is when she meets Noodles. They have amazing chemistry that just leaps off the page. However, this isn’t the time for Tink to really settle down. Instead all the businesses affiliated with the club begin to be sabotaged. To make things worse it seems like part of this is an inside job. Which means no one knows who they are able to trust. From there the plot just continues to build.
This is the start of what I am sure is going to be an amazing series. I loved this book and definitely did not want to put it down. If you are looking for a new series to get lost in, I strongly recommend this book.

5*

This is the first book in the Freemasons series. I absolutely love the premise of the book and the series. This book features a couple that has suffered a tragedy and their relationship has taken the toll. They agree to work together one last time as a chance to start to see things through the others eyes. As they are working together we are introduced to Cole and his friends. They work for the freemasons. However the goings on about the Lodge are merely mentioned in this book. I hope that in future books we will learn more about Cole and his friends. Ava is his wife who is ready to thrown in the towel on their marriage. I have to say I truly loved seeing them as a couple who were working through things that many marriages go through. They seemed so relatable, especially that communication (or a lack there of) has been the root of their problems. I had my self rooting for a HEA throughout this entire book. If this book is any indication of the rest of the series I know that these books are going to each be amazing!

The Protector
By: Nicole Flockton
5*

This is the fourth book in the Freemason’s series and it delivers on what Nicole Flockton built with the previous three books. This book can definitely be read by itself (as a standalone), however, I truly recommend reading all of this series. If for no other reason than to see what the series is about and get to experience these truly wonderful characters.
This book comes with a trigger warning and it definitely should not be ignored.
Renee is one of the strongest characters I have ever read. She has been through so much in her life and she never imagined that she would find love. She was abducted and forced to work in a sex trafficking ring. Her brother is Jude and Jude’s best friend is Declan. When Renee goes missing from the rehab facility she is at Declan will stop at nothing to get her back. But before she does he has to decide if she was taken or if she has chosen to leave.
This book does a great job tying together the other books in the series. I absolutely loved this and recommend it!

I truly love all the books Nicole Flockton has written thus far and this book is no exception. I love the Freemasons series because it gives me everything that I am looking for in a book – amazing characters who are incredibly relatable and a plot that sucks you in and leaves you wanting more (in the very best way possible).
The Hunter delivers on all these fronts. Gemma is everything I want in a main character – she has a problem she needs to solve and she is going to find love while she is at it. In this story she meets Dominic who is the head of the freemasons’ lodge and completely headstrong and domineering. The only problem is that Gemma is the same. This book had the perfect pull between two people who are falling for each other but know they shouldn’t be. Their chemistry just sizzles. I definitely recommend reading this book!

Fall to Pieces
By: Becky Flade
5*

I want to start by saying my expectations were set very high for this book. I loved the first book in the Philly Heat series. I definitely was excited to continue the series.
Lexi is a cop with survivor’s guilt. I would say that her introduction was very relatable. I think anyone who has survivor’s guilt is on a self-destructive path. The department is concerned about whether she is fit to continue her job position. They place a new partner with her, who is secretly examining if she can continue the job.
Their first case as “partners” is to hunt down a child killer. As they work on this case, their chemistry is undeniable and as a reader this jumps of the page.
One thing I’ve learned to expect from Becky Flade is well written characters who have a chemistry that just oozes off the page. This does not disappoint! I loved this story so very much.
