Hero Complex
By: Isobel Reed

Wow! Each and every book in the Bluestone series is better than the last. They definitely all can be read alone, as they each focus on different people in the small town, but I won’t recommend doing this because you miss the charm of Bluestone by reading them in isolation. In this story we meet Ace who is a former Marine who has come to Bluestone to start over. He was injured very badly in an accident and wants somewhere small where he can feel hidden. He starts living in a cabin on the property of Ivy. Ivy inherited a ranch from her grandparents and she wants it to continue to succeed. He brother helps financially but he does not help out physically. That’s where Ace comes in. He is working to stay in a cabin. Ivy thinks she can handle anything that is thrown at her, but she didn’t expect the old boys club that is ranching. Ace comes to her rescue and the rest is well its found in this amazingly written book. I loved this book so very much, Ace and Ivy definitely were great characters who were flawed and who really needed each other. I found myself rooting for them at every turn. I also cried like a baby throughout this one as each keeps thinking they are doing what is right. This book is fantastic and I can only hope that there is more to come in Bluestone!

Love Tools
By: Isobel Reed

This book is freaking fantastic. This is the first book in the Bluestone Series and I definitely cannot wait to read the other books. Bluestone is a small, rural ranch town and this book definitely gives so many good feels of a small town. It features two of the most amazing characters. Lilly is running away from London, from the life she knew. She is running towards … Well she isn’t sure. She knows that her father, that left her when she was little, has left her a hardware store and an apartment in Bluestone. She knows that she maybe wants to know something about him, but she also knows that she isn’t happy in her real life right now. Jake is working on a ranch with his sister. He has never had a real, serious relationship and the new girl in town has caught his eye. What he doesn’t know is that his sister also has caught the new girl’s eye and they are about to become the best friends that the other needs. This new revelation complicates things, because if he wants the new girl he can’t do what he has always done. But he is also the first to admit that Lilly (the new girl) has a different effect on him. He definitely feels things that might seem like this relationship might last.
Lilly and Jake have an amazing relationship. Their banter with each other is amazing. Each is very flawed in a very relatable way. I know I related to Lilly on so many levels. And Jake he just seemed so genuine. I also liked that Jake knew Lilly’s father. I feel like that really helped add depth to the story. I love knowing that this is a series as there were so many characters that were introduced that I really want to know more about – Sam and Duke, Lilly’s sister, Teddy at the bar. I love the small town feel and it made me want to up and move to Bluestone, it seems like a place that would feel like home.

Hero Complex (Bluestone Series, #3)Hero Complex by Isobel Reed
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which kept me captivated throughout by the wonderful characters and heartwarming storyline. Ivy is desperately trying to save her ranch, but her clients are sexist, and so to placate them she pretends to be engaged to retired Marine, Ace. Meanwhile, Ace came up with the idea of a fake relationship to get to know Ivy better, thinking that he would never stand a chance with her. After all it’s not just internal battle scars that caused him to be medically discharged from the military, but scars on his face too. Ace has trouble looking at himself in the mirror and so believes Ivy would never find him attractive. However, Ivy is very attracted to the handsome ex Marine, but wishes he would get over his ‘hero complex’, and trying to save her all the time! Although they both want to turn their fake relationship into a real one, they are also both wounded in their own ways. The wide open spaces of the ranch and ranch life was brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in the story. I loved Ivy and Ace and felt invested in their romance, and was hoping they would get a HEA. A lovely read, and one which I recommend.

I enjoyed this book from the start, as Ivy doesn’t really hold much back with her words or actions despite her best efforts.

Ivy’s ranch is flailing and she’s out of options until her ranch hand Ace opens his mouth and makes an announcement, to all of their shock.

Watching them work through their issues both personal, professional and mental was a ride but so worth it in the end.
I enjoyed all the people we met and I especially loved Ace’s mom!

Hero Complex was a lovely romantic read and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. The authors writing was really engaging and she created some great characters that I fell in love with straight away. Ace is one of those characters who you can’t help but fall in love with, his story was so raw and heart-breaking at times. Ivy was a wonderful character to read about too, she had endured so much loss in her life I just really felt for her. I loved the two of them together, they had such a genuine connection and they did help each other.
A really beautiful story and one I would highly recommend!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s been a really long time since I last read a KG Fletcher novel and I’m not sure why… as soon as I picked up Breathless Love, I remembered why I love reading this author. This was the third book in the Bennetts of Langston Falls series but easily read as a stand-alone. I enjoyed that the storytelling was duel perspective with both Ella Mae and Hank and how it would “back track” ever so slightly so we really did see both sides of the story. This was a great story with a lot of emotion surrounding both love and loss. As with any well written story, the plot wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies but it was realistic and heartfelt, keeping my attention from start to finish. I really look forward to catching up on the first two books in this series (and then some!)

Yes! I love the story of Lily and Jake! This is a quick love story that I lost myself in for the afternoon. There are plenty of emotions, but the main theme is romance with a western, ranch vibe. The author does an amazing job weaving the funniest quips throughout the story, and I was laughing out loud at some points. I love anything to do with cowboys so this was right up my alley. If you’re looking for a feel-good, contemporary western romance, pick this one up! You won’t be disappointed.

I loved the third installment of the Bluestone series! Ace and Ivy have an amazing chemistry from the beginning, and I love to see the way things progress. The author did a great job drawing these characters towards each other and creating their own little world. I enjoy the dual point of view, but it did feel like sometimes the view switched too quickly which drew me out of the story for a moment. Once I got into the groove though, it was a cute and fun read for the day. I recommend picking up this series, especially if you enjoy contemporary romance with a western theme!

Cecily in the CityCecily in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This YA book is full of all the emotions…angst, fear, love, loss, and finding yourself…you know, normal teenage stuff!
Cecily wants to make a name for herself, and a modeling opportunity in New York is the perfect way to get her foot in the door. With the support of her family, friends and her pop-star boyfriend, Andrew, she believes she can do it. However, when she finally gets to New York, and gets the opportunity to act, she finds her support system dwindling and learns that there are people out there who just want to see her fail. However, Cecily’s determination is admirable and is definitely worth reading!
I found this book tugging at my emotional heartstrings…and I was here for it! As the mother of teenagers, I wanted to see Cecily thrive and find out who she can be. The author did an amazing job at tackling real-life issues (even on a more grandiose scale with the characters being “famous”)…but the underlying themes are relevant. I enjoyed reading this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero Complex reads extremely well as a standalone novel even though it’s part of a series. I enjoyed it. The main characters reminded me of myself at times. When pride and stubbornness sometimes get in the way. These characters were written in a way you feel for them. Broken souls for different reasons, never realized there was someone out there who could mend and complete them. However you know how these books go, there’s never not one that has some kind of drama that affects the characters and relationships. This time the drama was different from what I usually read.
Ace and Ivy are two halves to a whole. Unfortunately neither one of them is confident that they are enough for the other. But what happens when Ace makes an announcement?
How does Ivy feel about that?
I enjoy the books in this series. I can only hope there may be more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cecily in the City is Book Three in The Cecily Taylor Series. It is a beautifully written YA Romance story centering around Cecily Taylor who has been relentlessly pursuing her dream of becoming an actress. Cecily has finally landed a role in a daytime soap opera, is living in the city, and has a pop star boyfriend so life should be perfect. The only problem is that her life in the limelight comes with a price and a whole lot of drama. Will Cecily be able to cope with her new life being so out in the open for others to judge and gossip about?

This was a great read that gives you a bit of an eye-opener about what life can be like for someone who is in the spotlight. Life behind the scenes may not be all sunshine and lollipops, which Cecily quickly learned. The story flowed nicely, the storyline was intriguing, and the characters are lovable and relatable. Cecily is smart, determined, genuine and down-to-earth so she is easy to root for. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Hero Complex is a very easy and fun read. The story flows seamlessly. I love how the author incorporates both points of view from the main characters. The character development is very well done not just with the main characters but also with the minor characters. My favorite part of the book is how Ace and Ivy work together to resolve their issues as a couple and the situations outside their relationship.

Hero Complex is the 3rd book in the Bluestone series and the MC’s are Ivy And Ace! I liked this fast paced read and I adored the characters! They start a fake relationship to keep unwanted advances away and I absolutely love that trope so I jumped on this book as soon as I read the synopsis. It was a such a cute story and I enjoyed the authors writing style. I am looking forward to more by this author in the future!

I have read a few books from this author and she alway knows how to keep you on your toes. This is the third book of the very addictive series The Cecily Taylor. I don’t think you should read these books as stand alones because they all collide together. I was so excited to read this book that I stopped everything and started to read it right away. You can’t help but to fall in love with this character. I could not put this book down until the end. I can’t wait to see what this character will do next?

Cecily is so excited to move into the best city where her pop boyfriend Andrew lives. She has finally landed a part in a major soap opera. Cecily is offered a role in another’s music stars video and she takes it. She did the video to get her name out there even more but she didn’t expect all the crazy rumors though. Cecily is starting to feel like maybe the Big City might not be for her. Will Cecily get her big break or will she have to start all over?

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was very excited to read a romance involving country music. This is the third in a series but absolutely can be read as a standalone. I dont think i felt like i was missing info or confused on anything by not reading the previous two books first. This story follows Hank who gets a little lost in life when his band doesnt work out like he hoped. He runs in to miss Ella Mae by chance at a concert of his Idol and turns out, Ella Mae is his idols sister! A chance encounter when Hank is at his lowest is really a turning point in life for him and he finds a lot more throughout his journey with Ella Mae. This story has some heavy topics and the banter was decent but a little corny at times. I was shocked at some points and felt all the emotions the characters did. This was a fun music based romance which i was so glad for because the last romance i read with the same concept was so bad. This had a good balance of music and career development for the characters as well as personal things going on to keep the story going. This really felt like getting a glimpse at tour life.

Consigliere's Revenge (Sicilian Gods Book 3)Consigliere’s Revenge by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love all these dark mafia romance books, they are some of my favorites to read. This one was exceptional from the get go.

Lorenzo is the consigliere to the Larussio mafia family, whose job it is to ensure the Larussio family maintains their position in the crime world. So when an innocent family member is kidnapped he knows retribution must follow and is planning on how to execute that so everyone knows not to try something like it again. Then in walks Izzy, a reporter who is hell bent on uncovering and reporting all of the mafia’s dirty little secrets. She is not even on Lorenzo’s radar until he spots her in the VIP section of the Larussio property. This becomes a battle of not only attraction but wits as Izzy aims to expose the mafia for what it truly is. The attraction is palpable between them and with Izzy being a thorn in their side she is offered a job to write the stories they want her to publish. It definitely starts out as a love hate relationship that quickly evolves but there are enormous trust issues on both sides. Can Lorenzo trust someone who is determined to air the mafia’s secrets? Can Izzy trust someone whose past is as dark as his eyes? Will they ever be able to find common ground to make a relationship work or is it doomed to fail?

This was an amazingly well written book that I for one could not put down. The characters are well thought out and diverse. The action starts from the very first page to keep the reader immersed and engaged throughout. This book is a keeper and I will recommend it to everyone I meet that enjoys reading any type of book because this has a bit of everything in it!

Tam DeRudder did an amazing job on 4 and reading 5, I love it. The main character has a different setting than the other one. Here we have Garrett chancing dreams and leaving true love and Olivia working hard to become someone in Hollywood but love is not on her list since she does not know to trust him again.
Garrett becomes a rock star and leaves behind love, but sometimes love does have its way to come back but not the same as before.
Olivia looking to make herself well known in Hollywood but fate had different plans for her, of course, love is hard to trust at this point especially when he does not get it.

I am not a fan of hot and spicy novels but this one and the other one as well, all I say is OMG! Tam the author did an amazing job with these two characters Adam and Cristy.

I love how there are two sides to every story and Tam did a wonderful job on this. Adam’s side is mad crazy over Cristy, a hot, stiletto with a rock as a voice. When I read further I knew that she was hiding something that it made Adam want more.
Now on Cristy side of the story, she wanted Adam for herself but when I kept on reading I scream when she let herself to him. But she does not let him 100% because of her deep secret.

Cecily in the City (The Cecily Taylor Series Book 3) by Krysten Lindsay Hager. This is such a good series. I have loved each book and this was no different. We continue to follow Cecily as she tries to pursue her goal in life to be an actress. She also has a boyfriend who is famous himself and during this story Cecily begins to enjoy fame as well. Along with getting her foot in the door and making a name for herself she also loses Andrew her boyfriend. Cecily has never had to do things on her own so she is scared but determined. Cecily is only 17 but seems older because of the life she has led so far and she’s not going to let the fact that she lost her boyfriend ruin her dreams. This is a fun young adult read but even I as an adult really enjoyed it.

Ivy has lived and breathed the ranch life for what seems all her life, inheriting Moonrock from her grandfather was the biggest honour he could have bestowed on her but as she sits looking through the books something must change, she is failing miserably. Having to let the only ranch hand go she is stuck in the cycle of chores and sleep until one night at he friends she meets the man of her dreams, and he also needs somewhere to stay for a while.

Ace is lost, being medically discharged from the Marines he is wondering a path he has no purpose to now, but when he decides to move and accepts Ivy’s offer of somewhere to stay he offers his services as a ranch hand as compensation, but he is drawn to this strong woman but will she let him in and love him the way he loves her or will his literal scars push her away.

This is the second book I have read by this author, and it was a lovely romantic story. I always love a flawed character and Ace was one of not only physical scars but was also trying to comprehend the man he is now to the man he was is heart-breaking to read. I loved that Ivy was although at times shy and reserved her character was brilliant to read as she blossomed with the help of Ace and that she helped him love himself again.

The secondary characters added to the story and as the story twists through the misogynistic characters it just makes Ace’s character more lovable as you see the true determination to protect this woman with all his heart.

If you are looking for a quick read I definitely recommend this book and you will fall in love with the characters as much as I did.

Hero Complex is a wonderfully written Second Chance Romance that once I started reading it was hard to put down. This is a fairly new author to me but I like her style of writing and attention to detail. The characters are well written, developed, relatable and at times raw and edgy. This is about two wounded souls who needs help healing. Can these two wounded souls be what the other needs? Can a fake relationship bring these two together? I love Military Romance and this one checked all the boxes. Ace is a wounded Marine who battles himself everyday about all his scars. Ivy sees Ace for who he is not what he is. These two pulled at my heart strings a bit. I highly recommend reading this fast paced story to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Love this series. This thrilling addition will keep you wondering the entire time, who is playing who. Lorenzo and Izzy’s chemistry will singe you through the page.

Lorenzo’s smug confidence makes him perfectly suited for his role as Consigliere. As he fights for his family, he encounters a woman fighting for her’s by seeking revenge. Lorenzo must find a way to protect his family while finding his heart.

Izzy is a woman dead set in what she knows, or what she thinks she knows. Izzy is dead set on getting revenge for her father. This has her crossing one of the strongest mafia families and has put her in the crosshairs of Lorenzo. Can they work together against a common enemy once Izzy has more information regarding what really happened to her father without tearing each other apart?

As Izzy and Lorenzo battle each other, danger continues to seep in from the outside. Will Lorenzo be able to protect Izzy from everyone including herself? Through the multiple twists and turns, this author proves why she is one of the best again and again. Amazing addition to the series.

Stay For Me (The Balefire Series Book 5)Stay For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a feel-good romance and a perfect ending for The Balefire Series. Tam DeRudder Jackson has done it again in Stay For Me, by writing a very steamy, page-turning story that I could not put down from the second I opened the book. I have not been a big fan of Garrett throughout this series, hating him at times for trying to mess up everyone else’s happiness, since his own romance with Olivia had failed. Well everyone deserves a second chance, don’t they, even Garrett right? This was a great continuation, especially following the famous Balefire band, reuniting with all of our favorite characters and seeing how their own relationships are progressing. I love the spark that ignites between Garrett and Olivia, they are so perfectly matched together, and I am so happy to see the entire band finally get their happily-ever-after. Even if you’ve never read any of The Balefire Series books, they are so amazing that they could stand alone if you started with this book, but I highly recommend you go back and restart at the beginning once you’re done, you wouldn’t want to miss each of the band members stories of love, loss, and reconnections.

I’m in love with each and every guy in Balefire and now I need to find the time go back and read their stories.

Each one of the guys has a different personality and Garrett while not in the band is one of the guys in every other sense of the word.

Garrett has made several mistakes in his life and while working with Balefire, some almost destroyed him, but I think his biggest regret was Olivia.

Olivia is just so cool. I would love to be like her if I were to ever grow up.

I will be looking at Ms. DeRudder Jackson’s current library and looking for more from her in the future.
