My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Greer’s life is dramatically changed when her mother gets engaged to the father of the football god of Oak High, an exclusive private school for the richest of the rich. Greer wants her mom to be happy, so she transfers to the school and does everything she can to make sure her mom doesn’t know what she’s going through. Beckett Dawson, her new stepbrother has not made her new life easy. He is constantly putting her down or ignoring her at school. Instead of making Greer have a pleasant experience at Oak High, he does whatever he can to make her want to pack her bags and move out of her fancy house. Greer has a crush on Beckett, even with him treating her badly. She is beaten up at school and that changes things. Beckett begins to help Greer whenever he can. Can Greer survive her senior year and put this all behind her or will the drama of the elite be too much for her?
This was such a good read, I was addicted! I hope there will be a sequel of Greer and Beckett in college. This book is filled with friendship, drama, action, twists, and even love.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jake is having issues finding a woman interested in him instead of his money and social status. He accepts his friends setting him up on four blind dates through a new restaurant his friend, Evan, was investing in. The new place was made for blind dates, where the room was dark, and the patrons were unable to see each other.
Meanwhile, Lauren is looking for a new place to live since she was living with a toxic roommate. Her best friend, Catherine, keeps offering her a place to stay. The only problem Lauren has is Catherine is the sister of her boss, Cade. Cade dismisses the idea and even pays for her move.
Jake has gone on his first blind date. He couldn’t get away from the woman fast enough. He decides he will text the next blind date throughout the week to learn more about her.
Catherine begs Lauren to go on a blind date, stating she knows the perfect person. Lauren finally relents. At the blind date restaurant, Lauren finds herself at ease with the stranger on the other side of the screen. He asks her if they could continue the date outside the restaurant, but Lauren declines. However, she agrees to continue messaging him to get to know him better. Could Lauren let her walls down and meet her mystery date? Can Jake find someone who didn’t care about his money?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed the blind date premise of this storyline and the chemistry between Jake and Lauren. Jake is tired of women only looking at his money over his true self while Lauren never wants to be seen as someone who uses others for money. These two are set up through a blind date service and immediately, they feel connected. This was an entertaining read with great characters, romance and drama.

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother RomanceBattling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a high 4 star read. The only reason it isn’t a 5 star read is because it took me a bit to warm up to Beckett. He is your typical nasty, rich kid that is just super mean. I feel that if it didn’t take as long as it did to warm up to him then I would have enjoyed the book more than I did. However, that being said, this could be the exact feelings the author is trying to portray. I loved Greer from the get go. She knows that Beckett literally sucks in the personality department but is still attracted to him. It made for almost a bully romance book but it wasn’t quite there. Which is another reason for the high 4 star rating. I feel like it was so close to being a bully romance that it should have a little more angst and then it would be set. I will say that it was an amazing read and I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes the sports romance, enemies to lovers, edging on the verge of bully romance genres. I was not disappointed with the story line, just the growth of Beckett but that is just my opinion.

I can never get enough of this author and all that they create and bring to life. This novel was no different. I enjoyed the complex level of emotions of the characters with this one. For sure, a worthwhile read.

I loved this one. I loved watching Beckett and Greer against one another. when their families, well collide. I loved Greer since her first introduction, and for Beckett, not so much at first glance. I loved the character development with him, and I changed my opinion of him. Underneath the ruthless skin there were emotions, and I mean a lot, and walls that were put up for a reason. I enjoyed the interactions with him and Greer. For sure, the book had a lot of realism and things we all can relate to. I love how this author brings issues that are faced every day and makes an emotional book come to life that is very much enjoyed! Loved this one!

I love this author and all that they create. I can not say enough good things about them. This is a very much must read book. I very much recommend it. I really enjoyed it and I am so glad I got to read this one.

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother RomanceBattling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Battling Beckett is a sports, enemy to lovers, taboo stepbrother romance. Greer Smith and her mother just move in with her soon to be stepfather and stepbrother. The problem with the merger is that Greer and her mother have always worked for everything that they have, and now they are living with people who are millionaires. Beckett is the most popular kid, at a private school, and the quarterback of the football team. Beckett is not happy about these women coming into their home and lives. He was taught to never trust women, they all are after their money. Due to this thinking, he is mad that Greer is there and now attending his expensive private school. At the beginning he tried to deny they knew each other and was rude and mean to her all the time. Throughout the story, Beckett tries many different things to get Greer to show her “true self”. Greer, while not happy about her situation, doesn’t want to get him in trouble in any way, and kind of starts to crush on him. Slowly, the two get close and that starts to bring a lot of attention to Greer, which she hates. One night she gets hurt and that is when Beckett starts to change his tune. Greer doesn’t try to change Beckett on purpose, but there is something about her that Beckett can’t seem to stay away from.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a sucker for taboo topics and enemy to lovers tropes. Greer was always an independent woman, but she turns into a woman who also starts to come out of her shell and stand up for herself, even through all the mixed signals and hurt. I loved watching her character development. I too loved Beckett, even though he was an ass at the beginning. Like Greer, you couldn’t blame him for his way of thinking, due to the past. Also, while he was an ass, you also saw, from the beginning, that he did care, even though he didn’t want to. His growth and love was evident as he started to care more and more for her, which I loved. The sexual tension between the two was also amazing. I felt like I was always waiting for it to happen, and when it did, it was slow but good. (Try to overlook the bad editing because the story is good)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of those romances that is a contemporary twist on rich boy-poor girl. Greer’s mom is marrying Beckett’s dad. The two of them come to develop feelings but have a lot to work through. The question is, can they make it? This question is what makes the whole story. The characters are well-developed. Everybody plays into the story so well. I found this book to be intriguing and very interesting. Their chemistry is slow to burn but came to build to a fire. The story, the drama, and the action bring it all together in a manner that plays into what young adults just may enjoy.

Genre – Contemporary Romance, Sports
Cover Designer – 100 Covers

Greer Smith’s circumstances change radically her senior year of high school. Moving from an apartment to a multimillion-dollar mansion should be an easy transition, but her soon-to-be stepbrother makes it hell on earth.

Beckett Dawson is a football god and an arrogant jerk. He makes it clear Greer is not welcome in his home or at his elite private school. And yet, the battle with herself is more confusing than the one with Beckett. Why is she drawn to him? Why does she see the good in him?

Even with confusing and unexpected obstacles, Greer is determined to find a way to not only survive but also to thrive, no matter what Beckett throws her way. But he’s not going to make it easy.

This book features an alpha hero and an introverted heroine in a high school setting, but it’s meant for mature readers.

Christensen has been addicted to reading ever since she read her first romance book in middle school. When different characters and scenes started invading her brain she would write them down and put it away. Gradually she took the steps to give them a beginning, middle, and a happily ever after. It has been a long time dream to have her stories published.

T. has been a lifelong resident of South Dakota. Occasionally she ventures out, but being at home, with her family, is always the best place to be. Reading a romance novel is still the best reward at the end of the day.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this final installment of the trilogy, we see the friend group tested more as they experience the joys and sorrows of life. Imani now must cope with her own tragedy when she loses the love of her life. Melody is trying to support Imani and her fiancé, who was good friends with Marco. She calls on Lance, who is re-entering the group after a period of separation. I love how the characters are strong and independent on their own, but able to also lean on each other when life throws difficult times their way. Everyone could use an Imani, Melody, and Lance in their lives!

The Colors of Love (Colors Trilogy, #2)The Colors of Love by K.R. Raye
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Colors of Love was the first book that I have read by this author. I love that she tells a story in a way that is believable to what happens in real life. Not all the parts of the story have happy endings. Mainly follows the different relationships of a trio of friends. The group experiences a tragedy in the first few pages. Melody is left especially damaged from this event. Her best friends Imani and Lance try to love her the best they can. Lance is a college football star who is known as the campus playboy who doesn’t have long-term relationships. Melody struggles with commitment after abuse. Imani is focused on being happy, but sometimes that means making choices that were not a part of her plans. This book has a mix of different situations that young adults can experience.

I Loved You Yesterday: Book One in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy

I haven’t read a book in a day in a bit, still haven’t done it but this was pretty close. Had an extremely hard time putting it down and thankfully the football game on locally was my time so I didn’t have to try and split my time.

What a great way to start a series. We got to meet some great people and one not.  As interesting as the other main characters are, there is something about Mitch calling to me and I’m looking forward to getting answers. Casey is a girl after my heart and her love of the Cubs.

Josh, Austin, Lauren, Mavis and Mitch are all childhood friends with a lot of history between them and some very deep secrets.  Even after ten years their friendship endured the silence.

I truly enjoyed this book, the characters and the ending.   Looking forward to follow the next couple.

This book sucked me in immediately. The need to know what happened between the Duchess and Josh was overwhelming. I guessed the reason she left and I guessed why Austin seemed to have odd behavior. However, after everything was revealed about was still shocked at Austin’s behavior. I also felt like Josh forgave everyone unrealistically fast. I’m not even sure how he forgave any of the parties involved in hurting him. But he did and it made him a better man, he still wound up with the love of his life and by the end of the book everyone was happy. The book was written well, it gave me all the feels and emotions I look for in a good romance story. It ended on a good cliff hanger and I can’t wait to read book #2.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After growing tired of dating the same kind of women, Jake’s friends suggest this new dating app/restaurant. It is called Blind Dates. Daters are matched through the app, where if they want to, they can start chatting. Then a date is held at the Blind Dates restaurant. The thing is that while at dinner, you can’t see the other person. The entire date is held in the dark. The participants then can either agree to continue communicating via the app or meet in person. Jake agrees to this arrangement with his friends picking his dates. Jake’s first date is disastrous. The second date is very promising.

Lauren is working as an executive assistant to a major CEO of a corporation. This is just a temporary position as she works toward her goals. Lauren gets talked into the Blind Date app/dinner by her friend and roommate. Lauren finds her match intriguing but is not quite ready to meet him face to face after their first date. Lauren accidentally discovers who her match is when they send messages to each other while in the same room.

Lauren and Jake, a beautiful match. Lauren battles perceptions and her past while Jake fights for her.

I find myself enjoying the premise of the series. Friends setting up friends on blind dates. The dating in the dark concept sounds great. Count me in for the rest of the series. Fun and enjoyable!

True Colors: Book Three (Colors Trilogy)True Colors: Book Three by K. R. Raye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t even know where to begin. This author has kept me in emotional turmoil for the last month. This trio of friends have been through so much. Some of the pain was too real. I don’t think I have been this caught up in a book in a while.

This series finale picks up right where the second one ended. Imani is in crisis after Marco’s accident, Melody is barely holding everyone together, and Lance reappears. Trevor is the loyal friend/brother to Imani until his wife puts her foot down. Melody is finally in a positive, steady long term relationship. Lance is balancing life after football, his divorce from Heather, and his ever-changing relationship with Imani. Imani is adjusting to her new normal and trying to find a way to trust Lance again. Life never slows down for this trio of friends!

Melody gets married but finds out that married life isn’t everything she thought it would be. Imani and Lance, each battle ghosts of the past to make a better future. Melody is jealous of Trevor’s growing family as she experiences fertility issues. Lance attempts to find his way back to football through broadcasting and all the pitfalls that go with being on the road. Imani experiences loss after loss. Melody sinks into depression after a tragedy, Imani almost loses Trevor’s friendship because of a premonition, Lance finally has a relationship with his one true love.

Let me just say that I laughed so hard when Erycah, Imani, and Melody all wind up in labor at the same time. When that nurse kicked Erycah out of Imani’s room, oh the tee hees!! When Lance named his son, I nearly allowed the tears to leak out but held them back. When Melody got wheeled away, I almost stopped reading. I was not ready for this book to end. I was not ready for the series to end. To the author, thank you for such an amazing journey through the lives of these three friends.

I really enjoyed this book. The premise of the blind date is one I have never come across before. Made the portion of the actual blind date extremely interesting. I couldn’t even imagine. Not too sure of how I would feel. Jake is talked into going on this blind date by his friends (the boys club). How it turns out is hysterical and you really feel for the guy.

Lauren is an PA for Cade. He’s a wonderful boss and doesn’t want to ever lose her. Things get tense and unnerving when the previous owner is a disrespectful and extremely rude man. Since Lauren is the first line defence, she gets the brunt of this disparaging man.

This book will have you swooning and tense and on your toes throughout.

This book was the PERFECT ending to a wonderful trilogy. True Colors completes The Colors Trilogy and I loved every minute. I’m sad that it’s time to let these characters go. I guess it’s time to go back to book 1! This author brings to you a trio of friends throughout this series who have literally been put through the ringer. Every bad thing you could imagine to happen does, but it’s evenly balanced because it’s the same with the good.
Lance, Melody, and Imani are the friends I want in my life. Completely dedicated to one another, to protect and love each other. I loved all three equally, but I felt this reading book 1 and now that I’m finishing book 3, I can say that I’ve been partial to Imani. She’s so strong, yet so stubborn. I absolutely love everything about her. My heart breaks for her at the beginning of book 3, but she rises up and perseveres and I would expect nothing less.
To embrace these books and, yes I mean books, you need to understand that there’s going to be some heavy and strong themes running throughout. That could be potential trigger warnings, I don’t want that to deter you though. These books are wonderful and this author has me looking for her next book.
In conclusion, if you read books 1 & 2, what are you waiting for?!? If you haven’t please get all three and dive in deep into book 1. One you won’t want to put them down. Two you will fall in love with these three main characters and their supporting cast. Finally you will have found yourself a new author to love. That will test what you can handle, but give you some enlightening perspectives on viewing life.

I came to the bittersweet end of this beautiful trilogy and loved everything about it. I am sad that we won’t get to hear more about Lance, Imani, and Melody, but that is the sign of a great story – when you never want it to end.

While focused mainly on Imani, we still get to see how Melody and Lance are doing in their lives and how their friendship evolves. Imani is newly married and loving life when she endures a life-changing tragedy. Lance has been MIA for quite awhile and is thinking about being part of the Three Musketeers gain, but can he deal with the strife? Melody is always the peacekeeper in the group, but can she be that way forever or will she start rocking the boat?

The characters feel incredibly real, and I am sad to be at the end of this trilogy. I will continue to pick up K.R. Raye’s books solely from the amazing writing from this series. You won’t regret reading these so go on and pick them up!

I enjoyed this romance story. This is not my first book by this author but this is one of my favorites yet. One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her writing skills and her ability to make her stories pop. This is a well written story about two people who have been hurt in the past. What happens when they go on a bilind date? You don’t want to miss what happens in this story. He is hiding his true identity, what will she do when she finds out who he really is? They are such great characters and have great growth throughout the story. Their chemistry makes the story easy to read. I enjoyed how they pulled me into the story from the start. They had me coming back for more and made the story hard to put down. I really enjoyed their story. I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed listening to this audio book. The story was really lovely and I adored the characters. The narrator in particular did a great job of trying to bring the characters to life. I loved listening to Sky and Max’s relationship evolve over the story – they were both really nice characters and I was really rooting for them. I loved Sky’s daughter too, she was sweet and sassy at the same time! There were some great secondary characters too especially Big John! I also think the author did a great job with some of the more sensitive topics addressed in this story!

A great audio book and one I would highly recommend!

Having read and enjoyed the previous stories in this trilogy, I was looking forward to this third and final instalment, and I was not disappointed. The storyline continues from book two, so I would recommend reading this series in order. It was great being back with the three friends, Imani, Melody, and Lance, who all feel a bit like old friends to me now too! The trio have been through a lot together and like friends are supposed to, they have stuck together through thick and thin. They have always been able to depend on each other before, but when tragedy strikes, yet again, can they still depend on one another. Imani Cabrette, has always been strong and proud, and never asks for help, however, following an accident her world changes forever. Imani needs to overcome her stubborn pride, as she’s going to need help from her friends. Melody Wilkins, is sweet and dependable and owes her life to Imani, but now that it’s Imani who needs help, will Melody step forward.
Meanwhile, Lance Dunn, has not seen Imani since she chose another man over him, can he forget their complicated past, and be there for her when she needs him the most. This novel like the previous two, took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it, and I was hooked from start to finish. The three main characters, are likeable and relatable and it’s been fascinating seeing how they have all progressed and developed throughout the trilogy, individually and as a trio. Their friendship has continued throughout each story, and has always come across strongly in the narrative. This was a real page turner, and I was happily turning the pages late into the night. I definitely recommend this series, and I’m slightly disappointed that I’ve now finished the trilogy and that I won’t be back with the friends again.

The Colors of Love (Colors Trilogy, #2)The Colors of Love by K.R. Raye
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in a young adult romance series. I recommend reading book 1 before getting into book 2. I didn’t and I think I would have been more involved with the characters had I done so.
This is a story of friendships and life of young adults moving through their college years. The main characters are Melody, Imani and Lance and each come with different life perspectives. There is a lot going on throughout The Colors of Love including (possible triggers): suicide, racism, domestic violence, and kidnapping.
It begins with Lance becoming a protector of his friends (and his desire with wanting to be a pro athlete) due to a traumatic experience that Melody goes through with an ex-boyfriend. Then we learn about Imani’s love life – wanting to falling love but not allowing herself to do so. She has opportunities to find the love of her life, but she seems to back them off. What does this cause? Drama! Imani’s lack of commitment to men who wanted to be committed to her drove me nutso.
A theme in this storyline was race. It becomes an issue – Imani can’t see past race in her own life, which hinders relationships.
I wasn’t sure who the story was going to be about – it seemed like Lance, but Imani jumped out as the main storyline for me. But overall, a pretty good read – and it covers a lot of important topics that young adults face in today’s world.

This is the 3rd book in the Colors Trilolgy.
This story bring to a close all the events that our 3 friends have gone through in their life’s and answers the question of whether friendship can survive any stormy waters? In this story the friends return to help and support one another yet again. But things have changed and questions are asked about whether they can be as supportive to each other as they once were.

Melody is finally happy in the relationship she has now but that relationship isn’t without its demons. With everything that’s happened in Melody’s past and dealing with the pain her partner is going through she has a lot to deal with, but when tragedy strikes one of her friends she rushes to their side but is she strong enough to shoulder all the additional pain?

Imani’s life is also on track now..she has married the love of her life and couldn’t be happier. But after a night entertaining friends her world is turned upside down after she receives a troubling phone call. Now desperately in need of some comfort and support she turns back to her two oldest friends in the world.

Finally we have Lance. He has always been the strong one. The protector of his girls. And after a brief fling with Imani that hasn’t changed. When his girls need him he will be there. However what he realises through this really trying time is that his feelings of Imani never left and that he wants her back. Talk about bad timing. How can he express his true feelings for Imani now with everything she is coping with? And if he doesn’t can’t he still be a good friend? The friend she needs to support and protect her now?

This story is one of love, friendship and discovery. Its about learning how to navigate situations with the help of your friends but we also learn how people change over the course of time and how sometimes the people we expect them to be isn’t the person that they have become.
All of the 3 stories have been emotional story’s and I’ve really enjoyed each and everyone of them

I loved book 2!! It was even more raw and real with a glimpse of our characters. This book hit my heart and soul with so many real life factors. Love, abuse, friendship, acceptance, and the struggles of life. Lance, Imani, and Melody tell a powerful story, and it’s one you want to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved this book series since book one. This one was certainly no different. I love the bond these characters have and all they face and over come together. Its beautiful and magical in its own way.

This book was a strong read all the way through. Of course the drama and stuff the characters face were heart wrenching as well as heart warming at the same time. A character faced something I would think we all dread. But the awesome people you have by your side really can make a difference. That is what this bond was. They stuck together and worked through stuff, it was powerful. A really good read. Loved it.

This author is a really powerful writer. I love this series with a passion. I am so happy I am able to indulge and enjoy these books and characters. For sure a must read and a high recommendation from myself!

This was a feel good story that was sweet and romantic. Lauren and Jake had a cute love story proving to both be down to earth individuals with a lot to learn from each other. The way they meet and connect gives new meaning to chemistry. It’s a truly great story and I enjoyed reading it.

This is the second book in a trilogy. It is able to standalone if you have not read the first one. This book is just as good as the previous one. The characters of Melody, Imani and Lance have been even more developed. They are continuing to grow in their friendship and in their own lives. This is a great balance between a contemporary book that focuses on friendship and a romance. I truly enjoyed this book and I was rooting for the characters. I truly recommend this book as it is an easy quick read!

This is the third and final book in a trilogy. I absolutely loved this book and feel that some themes that were introduced in the earlier books were continued and ultimately resolved. My favorite part of this book is that it focuses on friendship. I feel that the friendships portrayed in this are by far and away very realistic. I found myself truly rooting for the friendships in the story. I could definitely relate to Imani who was facing her life being turned upside down. The struggle when she is realizing she is needing help from her friends was really something I could relate to. I also have to say that having read all three books, I enjoyed reading and seeing how they matured. I feel like they developed like my friends and I did. Although, perhaps with more dramatic moments than I’ve been through. I cannot recommend this book enough! I truly enjoyed it and am sad to see the trilogy end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lovely..lovely story! It swept me up into this world! I admit I love office tropes with the added benefit of a group of best friends. This one covers both very well. That the friends are all guys is even better. Their discussions, poker nights and even how they stand up for each other help make this a series I want more of. The two main characters are so different but the meet-cute levels the playing field. Watching them move forward is a delight to my senses.

This is a story I am glad I picked up. Watching the characters grow, change and come to acceptance made me happy. I look forward to more in this series and from this author.
