This slow burn friends to lovers was simply amazing. I have only recently started reading books from this author and I have found that once I start one I can’t put it down. This author always provides amazing characters and has such a way with her writing that it makes you feel like your right there beside her characters. But this slow burn really had it all, romance, friendship, emotions and more you just simply won’t be able to put it down.

Enzo and Candi are just perfect together. He is able to fulfill her more than anyone before and she has made him realize that he can find love. But when their pasts collide can they find a way to overcome and make it all work? This is the second book in this series and the author just keeps getting better. The story draws you in and makes you feel all the things the main characters feel. There is a point in this story where Candi is in a storm and you can feel her sadness and grief as well as the storm raging around her. This has to be one of the best books I have read this year.

He’s a convicted felon out on parole for a crime he didn’t commit. She’s the girl who put her life on hold while he was away. Can the two pick up right where they left off?
He never should’ve gone on that beer run. If he’d stayed at the party, kissing Robyn by the bonfire, his life would’ve turned out totally different. But actions have consequences, the slam of the judge’s gavel echoing the death knell of his freedom.
Now he’s back in his hometown, starting his life over at his family’s Christmas tree farm and winery.
Running into Robyn wasn’t part of the plan.
She leaves him pining and reckless to see her again. But things permanently changed after that night so many years ago. Or so he thought.
With Robyn, he feels understood, wanted, and strong—things he hasn’t felt in a long time. When she’s in his arms, he’s tempted to trust again. To love again. To fly free again.
But deep down, he’s petrified.
Will the love they share be enough to overcome the past? Or will his second chance at happily ever after implode, confining him to a life sentence—alone?

I Love You Today (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 2)
Casey is by far my favorite. How could I not fall in love with a fellow Cubs fan? She is adorable and quirky and the best thing that could have happened to Austin. She comes from a totally different world than Austin but they just fit.
Austin needed Casey in his life when he met her. She was the balm to his soul after everything with Mavis. He was able to relax and have fun with her.
There are so many little things I loved about Austin and Casey. The game at Wrigley, him helping her study for her class, the cheesy sandwich are just a few that come to mind.
I love this book and series and I’m looking forward to reading Lauren’s story.

You are not going to get a more relatable heartwarming cozy Christmas read. The characters are so personable and relatable. After living through a pandemic, this was such a relatable read. This is truly such the perfect read to get in the Christmas Spirit. This book touched upon a pandemic, loneliness, heartache, forgiveness and filled my bucket.
This is a must read entering the Christmas Season.

This book was a great read! Although I think the author could’ve chosen a better Shakespeare play, but all in all the writing, storyline, and pacing was great! The dual point of views was great to have. Juliet was frustrating at times when Jim was courting her. Both had a bit of a stubborn streak, but Juliet’s was increasingly frustrating. The passages of Romeo and Juliet were a nice touch. It was just enough to keep you going, but didn’t take away from the story.

I liked the chemistry between Nicco and Destiney. Their frustrating way of miscommunication in what they are looking for is something relatable. I enjoy slow burn romances where love is earned. I felt that the ending was a little rushed especially since the book took me a little bit to get into. Overall, it was a good read and I look forward to Book 2.

I really liked this book. The chemistry between Enzo and Candi is palpable. I enjoy stories with a slow burn and like Book 1, this fit that well for me. Enzo was a delicious book boyfriend for sure. I also enjoyed the plot line for this book a little more than book one. This was hooked me sooner.

Kiss Away Your Pain by Debbie Cromack is book two in her Wounded hearts series. Enzo is the whole package. He’s a model, a singer, a baker, a candlestick maker – just kidding, but he really is everything a girl could want. Candi is full of life, a firecracker, fun and yet incredibly guarded. After setting up her best friend with the man of her dreams, Candi isn’t convinced she should let go of the past and get her own happily ever after. After all, she’s already had hers. Enzo has to work hard to break down her walls and boy was this so worth it. The characters had such a connection, I loved it so much. I can’t wait to read more from Debbie!

Someone exactly like me by Debbie Cromack was so good. Honestly, I loved this book. It was the perfect amount of awkward and felt so incredibly real. My only complaint is that it took them forever for spicy things to happen! I was rooting for them forever it felt like and finally it happened. I truly enjoyed Destiny and how relatable she felt. It felt as if I was reading a story about myself – you know if I got to meet a celebrity crush and fall in love with them. HA. I love that she’s a romance author. While I’m sure this isn’t how all authors write their books, it was so interesting to be in her head as she wrote her book and came up with ideas. Nicco was described as a playboy which is what many people think of famous people. However, getting to know him, he’s a genuine guy. I am looking forward to getting updates on the couple in the next book!

This was my second book of Debbie Cromack’s and it did not disappoint! I absolutely loved the first installation of the Wounded Hearts series, and this one just grew my obsession even more. Debbie continued to deliver a story that was addicting and passionate and so fulfilling. This book was well worthwhile.

Kiss Away Your Pain is a beautiful friends to lovers contemporary romance tale that will melt your heart. It is the second book in the wonderful Wounded Hearts series. I loved the first book, and I loved this one just as much if not more.
This emotional slow burn story has a twist that Debbie wove into the story that I did not see coming. She writes emotionally raw feelings that make the characters realistic with flaws and all making them so easy to relate to and become invested in them. You may want to have the tissues nearby because you will become teary eyed. BUT there is also humour.
He doesn’t do relationships. She is trying to move on from heartbreaking loss. Can they overcome issues from their past to make their way to a HEA?
I look forward to more of this compelling series. Why not grab a copy to give as a Christmas gift.

I couldn’t wait to read this book after enjoying the first so much and if possible this book is even better. I loved Austin’s story. I really thought that you could feel his emotion and the heartache he had been through. He is the kind of character that I wanted to findbhis happy ending because he deserved it so much. This author is really creating a strong series. I look forward to reading her books and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

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!

Love this author for all she does and creates! She truly has the power to grip her readers, and hold them there, and take on a ride, often of self discovery, emotions, and most importantly, love.
I loved the previous book, so I was happy to see the certain characters appear in this one that were in the previous. Candi and Enzo were a match made in heaven, if they could work through the pain of the past, that was with their future. Both had gone through something rather horrible when it comes to true love. I had a lot of ups and downs in true love myself, as my now husband, we had to work thru a lot of pain to be together, so hence why this book and the characters spoke to me so much. I cried, and I smiled throughout my reading. The book was beautiful. The book really makes clear sometimes life gives you that second chance, but it you, that has to take the leap of faith! I was star struck with this book and author!
Such a beautiful and empowering read. Not one to be passed up! Even if you had not read the previous books, you must read this one! Your heart will thank you! Highly recommend this book/series/author!

I missed the first 3 books in the series and I’m unsure if I missed vital info or if they act as standalone novels but dang! An excellent read for sure! Renee was just such a well rounded MC and she had to be my favourite. If I’m honest, how can you go wrong with a little forbidden love. The ending was the cherry on top! A really great read!

Kiss Away Your Pain is the second riveting instalment the Wounded Hearts series by Debbie Cromack. After reading Someone Exactly Like Me (Book #1), I wasn’t sure that Ms. Cromack would be able to match the captivating feel of that story, let alone better it. But let me tell you that I shouldn’t have doubted her, because not only did she capture the essence of that first book, she surpassed it- exceeding all my expectations along the way. If you haven’t read Book #1 yet, I highly recommend that you do. As even though this could be read as a standalone if you really wanted, I think knowing all the details of the first book will definitely enhance your reading experience of this second instalment. This is Candi and Enzo’s story- and wow, what a story they have to tell. They have been through so much- and are so perfect for each other. Holy hotness, Enzo just melted my heart and made me swoon so hard. We met Candi previously in Book #1, as she is Destiny’s bff. I was so happy that Candi got her own story and her chance at happiness. This story is such a sweet n spicy slow-burn contemporary romance with a ‘real’ and raw feel that definitely added to my overall reading experience. These beautiful, broken characters get a second chance to love again. And, as I am coming to expect from Ms. Cromack, there is plenty of emotion, angst, chemistry, heartache, and drama to keep us completely invested in the wonderful characters and all the absorbing developments. Now I really can’t wait to read ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ (Book #3)! Happy Reading!

Hot For Teacher- Shakespeare Made Us Fall in Love by Felicia Carparelli is a contemporary age-gap romance with a student/teacher element, more mature characters, second chances, finding love unexpectedly, taking a chance on love, humour, banter, opposites attract, and comes with a duel POV. This was a ‘cute’ story, but I really wanted to love it much more than I did… and I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t invest in these characters and their story as much as I would have liked. As I said, it was cute n’ sweet- with an original take on the whole age gap/student-teacher trope, but I found it slow to get going and felt like it dragged in places, which resulted in ‘pulling’ me out of the story. And even though I quite ‘liked’ the characters, I didn’t connect with them like I hoped. I would have liked a little more drama, tension, and/or intensity to really put some ‘meat’ on the story’s bones to really grab my attention…. But it was not to be, so I have decided to revisit this book again in a few weeks and see if I still feel the same way, or if, perhaps, I was just having an ‘off’ reading day (confession- I had a bad dose of the flu at the time of reading, so perhaps that played a part in it all). I am interested in reading more of this author’s work in the future to see what else she can do. Happy Reading!

This is the second book in the Wounded Hearts series. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone and still be really enjoyed. This is such a beautiful, moving and emotional love story. The author’s attention to detail when creating the characters or Enzo and Candi. Enzo is every woman’s fantasy come true and Candi is like most women (and men) she is dealing with some pain and heartbreak from the past.
The attraction between Candi and Enzo is instant but with Candi dealing with the grief and heartbreak of losing a love she is reluctant to contemplate romance again. Meanwhile Enzo also has issues from his past which makes committing to something and someone a scary prospect for him.
Can Candi and Enzo work through their issues to create a future where they can both be happy or will their fears stop them from experiencing true happiness.
This story is so moving to read that you can’t help but wish the best for the characters, but the journey won’t be straight forward. There are twists and turns and obstacles in their way.

The Protector: A Billionaire Brother’s Best Friend Romance (The Freemasons Book 4)
She saved the best story for last. This is hands down my favorite of the series. Watching Renee recover from the unimaginable with so much determination even when the little voice would bring up the past was amazing and emotional for me.
Declan is exactly who Renee needed to help her recover. He was so aware of her any time they were together, his feelings for her were obvious.
So much happens in this book starting with Renee coming home, her discovering who she is now and so much more.
I enjoyed each of these amazing men and their stories as well as the women who won their hearts.

Renee Cadmon was rescued from a horror that’s impossible for her to explain. After being kidnapped and tortured for three years, she’s back and taking steps to reclaim her life for herself. Declan Burkhard is not only her brother’s best friend, but someone Renee has had feelings for for as long as she can remember. Now there’s no way he’d want anything to do with her broken self, but what is his reason for staying so close?
Declan knows that Renee is worthy of the world. Before she was kidnapped he was fighting with his feelings to determine if he should try for more than friendship, now that she’s home he knows she’s all there is for him. He’s willing to sit back and wait for her even if it takes forever, and while he waits he’s going to be there to protect her while she maneuvers life back home. He’s happy sitting on the sidelines if that’s all she needs.
With the returning threat of the man who kidnapped Renee, Declan must do whatever it takes to keep her safe and show her she’s not alone.
Book four did not disappoint! Every book I read with the Fab Four has me wanting a man who can protect and serve like these four do. This fourth installment is a best friend’s little sister trope and I am so here for it.
Plenty of trigger warnings as there are mentions of Sexual Assault, violence, and kidnapping, but if you love a story about a man willing to wait for the woman he loves this is a good one.
I highly recommend reading all four in order as there are mentions in each book that build on each other to get you through to this one. However, it’s not entirely necessary to read them all to read this one.

After losing her father, Gemma Hughes is determined to find the people who caused his death. With limited information to go on, everything she is seeing leading her to the organization her father was once a part of.
Dominic Cacciari is determined to keep the secrets of the Freemasons at any cost. He won’t let Gemma tear them down and will keep her as close as he needs to in order to protect those who need protection.
When Dominic and Gemma find themselves attracted to one another they’re determined not to let it go anywhere. Neither trusts the other but fate keeps throwing them together until it’s too late to see the difference between what they’re fighting for.
The Hunter is book two in the Freemason’s series and it’s absolutely heartwarming. Dominic’s protectiveness and Gemma’s sass make for a fun story. You find yourself rooting for them and hoping they both find the truth and soon.
There were a few parts that the story I found confusing but it was minor and a re-read and focus was all it took to get past it. While I think this book in the series can definitely be a standalone, I feel that there’s a good bit of information to gain by reading book one as well.
This was a fun, spicy Enemies(ish) to Lovers trope. Excited for the next two in the series.

I loved this great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the start, I loved Enzo he was perfect for Candi. My emotions were all over the place. Candi had no plans to fall in love, that is until Enzo came along. Lets just say their journey wasn’t easy, expect several twists and turns. The author does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing. I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep readers coming back. The Protector is the fourth book in The Freemasons Series. I absolutely loved Renee and Delcan.
Renee has been gone for three years. Being taken, held captive, and being forced to do things she normally wouldn’t. Once rescued she finds that everything has changed. She isn’t the same person anymore. She also wants more with Declan, but she is scared that she’s broken. The quote I chose for Renee is: “I’m tired of everyone looking at me like I’m about to break. Looking at me with pity. I know what I went through. I lived it. I don’t need their pity. I don’t need them to feel sorry for me because I got taken. I want them to look at me and see me.”
Declan is best friends with Jude and stays at a cottage near Renee when she’s rescued. He doesn’t want to leave her behind. He wants to be more than friends, but isn’t sure she’s ready. Can he protect her like he said he would? The quote I chose for Declan is: “Look at me, Ren. You did nothing wrong. You’re recovering from a traumatic event. There are always going to be things that will trigger what happened today. But I know you’ll work through those things. It’s going to take time.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

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!

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!

This is a quick and easy read, the best kind of book for a lazy afternoon. I enjoyed reading about Juliet. She has more of an interesting development than I expected from the description. At times I did struggle with Jim a little. I thought he was harder to connect with but once I did I rnjoyed what his character did with the story. This is a author to me and I think she did a good job of creating a second chance romance. I wish there had been a little more detail to the story at times.but overall this is a well written and enjoyable book.

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!

Thank you so much for putting a trigger warning at the beginning of the book! Enzo and Candi. I read the first book and this one is just as good and can be a stand alone but I love that they are linked and you still get some of Nicco and Des. I was able to relate to this book in Candi’s shoes. I lost my partner about 6 months ago. The questions that she asks herself and her bestfriend are valid and questions I still ask myself but I don’t know the answer. This book gave me a different point of view and I am appreciative of that. I can’t imagine Enzo’s confusion and pain knowing how he’s survived. I love, love, the epilogues. Here are a couple of my quote take aways that stood out:
“Sometimes the most wonderful celebrations are also reminders of those who are no longer here to celebrate with” “Can, there’s no rule that says you only get one soul mate in life and that’s it”
