My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t think I have ever read a book like this one and it’s going to be very difficult to do a review without giving away spoilers. The character build up in this book and the thought that this actually does happen in real life is just so relatable. I grew so attached to the characters especially Mav, Josh and Austin. There is a group of them but those three are the main ones that are in the triangle. The love, passion, suspense and all the things in this book. You don’t expect the ending and I can tell you my heart was racing and my cheeks were flushed and warm during reading this. Josh is so sweet and loving and patient and his calmness is sexy. Austin is the one who is more free but I also think he is a butthole, you will see why. Mav, well what happens is really hard to understand her and why she did what she did but goodness tell me how you’d have handled that situation. This book is realistic and relatable to me so I may be a bit biased but it’s one of the best books I think I have ready in a very, very long time. I felt like i knew these people. I really hope that my review helps you to give this book a chance and you love it and the characters as much as I do. Also, the epologue, there has to be another coming!

I’m just loving the cover and I couldn’t wait to get lost in between the pages of what looked like it was going to be a brilliant read and it was a new author to me and I was not disappointed 🥰

Secrets never stay hidden and they have a way of revealing themselves and this so true as to the events in this book and look let’s be honest love isn’t always easy and often it’s a messy thing and it hurts but rather love and lost than not love at all ….

Mavis and Josh were high school sweethearts and when she discovers she’s pregnant she leaves town and while she thinks she’s doing the right thing she’s actually not and then she tell his twin brother well what’s that all about !? I know I sound all judgy and I hear her heart but making such big decisions on behalf of another is selfish but as I said I saw her heart , I had to stop reading for a bit as my emotions were all over the place I felt angry , sad , empathy , frustration …..

So I picked up where I left off and soon enough the past catches up to Mavis and there’s Josh who wants her back and Austin that won’t let go and things look a right mess but stick around ….

Mavis , Josh and Austin , thank for allowing me to a part of this journey to be a part of your lives and for sharing yourselves with me , love you guys ❣️📕

Love's MulliganLove’s Mulligan by C.A. Miconi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really needed a solid pick me up and believe in love again romance novel, and this one just hit the mark for me in so many ways. I think it’s important to realize that not every moment is going to be the right moment, and that sometimes things can go sideways, but that doesn’t mean that they always will. I absolutely loved Kellie’s character of course, but for once, I feel I really connected with the male lead in this novel. Harrison is everything you could want from a man, and more. He had some growing up to do, and after seeing the love of his life again, he looks back and realizes that’s exactly what he’s done. Grown.

Overall, this novel had beautiful character building, the love just flowed from the pages, and the characters popped with enough energy to keep the reader (me) enthralled. I look forward to reading more by this author, and specifically more of this series. Bring it on! Highly recommend.

I love this story of Kellie and Harrison…..from high school sweethearts to years past reunite in different circumstances.

Will Harrison and Kellie reunite to a love that was from long ago?

This story flowed so wonderfully and I couldn’t put this book down. I love the spark between Harrison and Kellie!

First time reading this author. What a super cute second chance love story. Kellie is a hometown girl living in Vegas, trying to escape her past. But can one really escape that first love?

However, his image leaves a little to be desired by his sponsors. He needs a wife and a family and a white picket fence. He knows Kellie is the one that got away and he knows she should be the wife he needs. But his team has chosen someone else. Can a chance meeting and love really conquer all?

I am all for second chance romances and true love winning out but I didn’t want that with this book. I am Team Princess. I loved Josh and Mavis together when they were younger but I didn’t want them together now. The book was really good and well written. I will definitely read more books from this author.

The fifth book in the Titans of Manhattan series and we have Alessia and Kristopher’s story. Kris is an interesting Titan as he is the one who is already settled down, but not in a happy way. This book is a contemporary romance with the Titan stamp of darkness (some trigger warnings) and steam. I have loved all the books from this author and I look forward to more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is book one of the trilogy. This is a new to me author but I couldn’t get enough of this book! I can’t wait to see how the rest of the series continues.

This story is a second chance romance but it’s not as simple as that. Love never is though. I don’t want to give too much away because honestly, you just have to read it but there is lots of emotion and secrets. The dynamic between all of the characters really pulls you into the story. Mavis left to spare Josh but confided in his brother, Austin. Josh will stop at nothing to fight for what he knows he deserves. Even if that means going against his brother. What choice will Mavis make?

I was sucked into this book! It was so engaging and I felt invested in the characters and the outcome. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

This is a new to me author and I enjoyed this book alot. It was definitely very angsty and I didn’t agree with all of the choices made by the mcs but I was looking forward to seeing how it all played out as the story progressed. We get to see if love really conquers all and some the hardships people go through for the ones that they love.
I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future!

I Loved You Yesterday is a raw emotional journey. This second chance contemporary romance is a love triangle where brothers are involved. Yikes! It is fast paced with lots of steam, passion and drama. This tale is complex yet beautifully woven together to give the reader a story that will stay with them.

Although I fell in love with the characters there were times I didn’t know if I wanted to hug them or throttle them but all in all they are really well written and relatable.

The heart wants what the heart wants.

This award-winning debut novel has thrust Julie into the limelight in a spectacular way and I know once readers have gotten their hands on this book, they will fall in line waiting for what comes next, I know I will.

Can first love overcome time, secrets, challenges, and having to choose between twin brothers?
I Loved You Yesterday is the first book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy by Julie Navickas. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her books. But as I love a great second chance story I took a chance and snapped up a copy and I am so glad that I did.
This proved to be a wonderful second chances romance, with a bit of a love triangle, secrets, heartache, challenges, some angst, drama, and plenty of emotion.
Bring on Book #2- “Love You Today”!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Julie Navickas!

Fairly Royal (Fair, #4)Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a great read. I enjoyed how the author used the common language from the time period and country in which the book took place. It was not one of those books where the author says it takes place in Europe, yet all of the mannerism and speech is just like it is here in the U.S.

This book is entertaining and fun getting to see the story unravel from the perspective of both of the characters. The author does really well with the descriptions of the area and the characters, making it easier to visualize what is happening. Also witnessing how they affect each other and help the other one grow.

This book follows the story of a girl that has loved a boy for years and finally gets a chance with him. Their relationship did not start out how you would expect a normal relationship to start. Although you will learn throughout the story that Anna is not your average woman of the late 90s. She is headstrong and determined to make her keep, rather than being a kept woman at home.

Phillip is a smart and well of man from a highly respected family. Has known Anna for ages but never saw anything there until an unexpected event occurs. How does this man develop feelings for an independent woman that is decades ahead of the times for women? You will just have to read this amazing book to find out.

Never Is A Very Long Time (The Perfect Date Book 1) Audiobook by Donna McDonald – Review by Sunday Barnaby

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donna McDonald is a new author for me. I enjoyed listening to the story. Never is a Very Long Time is the first book in the series, The Perfect Date. This is a romantic comedy about dating in you 30s, 40s, 50+. Mariah Bates owns the Dating App that matches mature adults with each other for Perfect Dates. The fun ensues as she tries to stay one step ahead of her vindictive ex-husband. Detective John Monroe may turn out to be Mariah’s Perfect match. This is the first book I have listened to that used synthesized audio.  To my surprise it was great, and would definitely listen to more audios like this.

A sweet, fast read with a little bit of steam! Imagine being the wedding planner for the fake wedding of the long-lost love of your life? Kellie and Harrison’s story is compelling in this quick second chance romance.

This is easily read in one sitting, but despite its length, you get a full story with well developed and likable characters and storyline! The storyline is entertaining and written in alternating his/her point of view chapters, giving the reader greater insight to the couple’s story. The writing style is engaging and keeps you turning the page. I really enjoyed this one and look forward to the next story in the series!

Kristopher Simon was the Titan that had it all or so it seems. His marriage was basically over so all he has is his kids and his career. He was ready to dine with this marriage after all his wife had put him through. Then he met Alessia Johnston at a medical convention. He would be her boss so he knew he should stay away. He couldn’t resist her any more than she could resist him. Things begin to spiral and it seems like they will never find their way to each other. I loved this book. To hear Krisopher story at long last and understand him more.

What stood out to me as I read this gem, was the emotional impact all the character were able to have on me! They all had an impact that made them who they were. They had a lot of connected ability, and I felt so much as I read. I loved the author’s writing. The book was a fast read for me, and one I did not want to part with! Some parts I smiled, others I cried or let a laugh escape. Amazing read! Loved it!

Love is so many things that you never quite know what to expect with romance story. Love can be complicated, it can be messy, it can be blind, and it can make people make difficult decisions. Such is the case with this romance story, the lead characters were truly amazing but is it possible that their decisions pushed each other away? The world building was complex, the story was original, and overall so great that I simply couldn’t put it down.

Love can be complex…..it has its highs and lows…it is how you deal with the lows can determine can love survive any obstacle? This story of Mavis and Joshua is truly complex…at the beginning it was not but when a mistake leads to a secret will Joshua forgive Mavis?

Mavis and Joshua were young and in love. Talking about dreams and aspirations and what college to attend. When an unplanned pregnancy comes into play, Mavis feels like she needs to protect Joshua’s dreams but leaving. Years later, when Joshua’s personal life crumbles, he truly believes that Mavis was the only one for him. When Joshua finds out where Mavis is….he is ecstatic to finally believe they can be together, but learns that his brother, Austin, knew where Mavis was all along. When Mavis left, not only did she leave her love, Joshua, but also her own brother and her friends with no real explanation. When secrets come out ten years later about the reasons why Mavis left this also complicates that matters of the heart between Joshua and his brother, Austin.

This story was a true roller coaster of emotions. This story is full of love, joy, hopes and dreams but also secrets and betrayal that can leave you feeling shattered. This was a great story and I am looking forward to continuing this series…

I really enjoyed this love story between Josh and Mavis. Love is really complicated sometimes and feelings get messy. Trying to sort out the feelings from the past for her navigate the present was very challenging for her. Knowing what to let go of and what to hold onto. I also liked Josh and thought his character was well done. I look forward to the next installment!
