Key To His HeartKey To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I went into this expecting a cute romance. When I finished, I was so emotional and in awe of the story.

Katrina moves to small town Golden Crest to start over after a divorce with her baby Toby. Sometime after moving, she meets a man that she inexplicably drawn to. While she does want him, she is also afraid of sharing her secrets.

A former NFL player, TJ is now a chemist teacher and coach for the local football team. When he meets Katrina and Toby, he feels like he has finally found what he has been looking for: a family.

Katrina starts acting peculiar and he isn’t sure if he should give her space or stay.

I’ve read a lot of romances but this will stay with me. This is a story that I will remember from time to time and read over and over again.

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

I was completely absorbed throughout this entire book. While I had reservations from the first in the series, the second one has blown me away! Very rarely do I find a series that gets so much better after the first book. This dives deeper into each storyline, and I loved it!

Our favorite trio are back in college after traumatic events, and they are trying to find a way to support each other but still get on with their lives. Lance is doing everything he can to protect his girls and keep his eye on the ball, but something keeps nagging in the back of his mind. Imani continues to be close with her group and finds a new task in challenging her limiting stance on racial issues as well as finding a man that can keep up with her. Melody keeps settling for much less than she deserves but her friends just can’t reach her to snap her out of it. Will any of them make the progress they want or are they bound to stay unhappy with only each other to rely on?

This was a twisting, turning, wonderful story to read and I am reaching for the third in the trilogy right now. You will not be disappointed picking this up because you won’t want to put it down!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Trigger warning – there is domestic violence/an abusive relationship.

I strongly suggest you read these books in order as the end of the first book is the start of this book. The Colors of Love is the second book in this contemporary romance trilogy.

Melody, Imani and Lance are back after surviving the horrors and still trying to cope with what happened in the first book. Their friendship is still strong but they find themselves with more horrors and hardships that test them. This book is Lance’s story but it seemed that Imani had a more starring role. This another journey through good times and bad times and times that will test themselves and their friendship.

There is a lot going on in this book and lots of characters showing up. There are so many emotions in this story. There is also a bit of everything going on with lies and deceit, angst and sadness, suicide and angst, drama and grief, heartache, love, jealousy and turmoil. There is racism, violence and suicide and interracial relationships and more. It is an engaging story that tackles a lot of issues and keep the pages turning.

I wonder what the third book will bring.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love’s Mulligan is the first book in CA’s new series Stroke of Love. I have read a few other books by this author and have enjoyed each journey. It is a sweet interracial contemporary romance tale.

The story takes place in the bright city lights of Vegas for high profile celebrities’ nuptials. Sparks fly when two people from a small town come back into each other’s lives at the most inopportune time. This second chance romance has lots of emotions, some angst, hurt and pain but love shines through. Now they only have to make it happen can past hurt be left behind to start anew. The characters are realistic, easy to connect with.

With her reputation at stake, she needs to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. The only problem is she has to do it all for the one who left her behind.

He left town without looking back to pursue his dreams. Now his past is staring him in the face and he needs her to take another chance on him.

This is book 2 of this amazing series. The author has done another outstanding job with her writing. Lance, Imani, and Melody are still trying to deal with the aftereffects of the trauma and the choices they make in their life. I found the story to feel truly realistic and original. You can feel your own heart palpitating at some of the action in the book. At some times, you feel the angst or other feelings that they go through. The plot is well-written, with even a few twists thrown in. I found the characters relatable. I was engrossed in the story right from the start. I cannot wait to start book 3. Well, done!

What a beautiful love story. Kellie and Harrison were torn apart when they were younger but due to circumstances were brought together for a fake wedding. I found the storyline of second chances very endearing because they really needed one. Everything seemed to be a challenge working again them but they worked hard at it. Seeing the family work together was heartwarming. The characters were very touching and well-developed. My favorite part was a reunion between her and her dad. A quick read that will touch your heart. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Kellie

As the event coordinator for a Vegas hotel, I’m in charge of planning a celebrity wedding meant to showcase our venue as the ultimate dream destination in the marriage capital of the world. The bride is an up-and-coming swimsuit model, and the groom is Harrison Hayes, the golden guy of golf. There’s just one problem: Harrison and I have history. We were high school sweethearts and my dad was his mentor and coach. When it became clear Harrison had a bright future in the sport, he left me and our small town behind. Now I have no choice but to set my conflicted feelings aside, because if this wedding doesn’t go off without a hitch, my career in hospitality management is over.

Harrison

When my publicity team tells me I need to get married to improve my image, they hand me a plan for a highly-publicized Vegas wedding, complete with a bride of their choosing. There’s just one problem: the venue’s event coordinator is the one who should be standing next to me at the altar. Even though it would please tour sponsors and land me lucrative endorsement deals, I can’t go through with a sham wedding. Unfortunately, Kellie’s job is on the line, and I’m not going to let her down a second time. Can I convince the only girl I’ve ever loved to stand in as the bride for appearances’ sake? And more importantly, after the publicity photos are taken, will I be able to prove to her that my love is real?

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

I know I know, it seems if you have read one book with a similar plot they are all the same. Except that cannot be further from the truth for this book right here. It is the perfect quick beach read for times when you want a little escape.

Phillip is a stodgy earl who has been lauded as the most eligible bachelor but has sworn off serious romances realizes they and the throne do not mix. With his presence on more tabloids he comes up with a brilliant scheme to get the tabloids and hopefully his family off his back a romance. This is where Anna comes in, who is Phillips friend’s little sister. Phillip will help Anna with her family business and Anna will be Phillip’s perfect romance, at least on paper. Anna is a spunky female unfamiliar with high society and independent as a whip. So what happens when This fake relationship slips into the real territory? Could Anna be his love match or is the relationship doomed from the start?

I absolutely loved Anna’s character, she is super fun, outspoken, and the proverbial fish out of water character we have all felt at one time or another. I loved how the author built up the characters with Anna learning high society etiquette and Phillip learning to be less restrictive and to let his hair down every once in a while. Kind of like the perfect opposites attract trope that we hear about so much. This was an easy, very fun read that should be added to your to be read pile!

I loved the cover ! The title is so very very apt ❣️What was between the pages I loved even more !!!

Before I even start my review I just want to thank the author for taking a subjects that many think is taboo , especially in adults . Thank you for honouring those that live with it everyday , thank you for honouring those who live with those who deal with it everyday . Thank you for making other people see it from a different perspective , I’m so grateful for you . I appreciate you ❣️

Evan and Owen are twins , both play for the NHL, the Adler family is a hockey family only has retired due to mental health reasons and I could only begin to imagine the disappointment Evan must’ve felt but he doesn’t lie down and fade , yes he struggles but he becomes coach to the girls gymnastic team…..

Callie , what a gem of a girl ❣️our first introduction was at a press conference for Nico , her brother in law and you can just feel the love she has for her brother in law and her family . Nico goes public with his diagnosis and this is where I just got into an emotional mess ….Callie has always had a crush on the Adler twins one , however is taken , the other not and I think we have a match ladies and gentlemen 😉

Watching Evan and Callie was a privilege, a journey filled with tears and hurdles but filled with love , support ,friendship, hope and encouragement ❣️

Fairly Royal is the fourth book in The Fair series and I absolutely loved reading it. This is a Romance story packed with drama, and everything else that goes along with fake relationships with your best friends little sister. This is not my first read by this author but it’s definitely my favorite yet. Her style of writing and attention to detail along with fully developed and relatable characters make for an amazing story. This is one of those pull you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end kind of books. I had a terrible time putting it down. I had to know what was going to happen next. This is Philip and Anna’s story . He’s an Earl who takes his duty very seriously and tries to avoid relationships at all costs. He finds himself in yet another tabloid headline. He comes up with what he thinks is a great idea but is it really? Then there’s Anna who is his best friends sister and she may be loud and outspoken but she also has her own set of rules for this relationship. Without giving to much away. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author

What a beautiful story! Katrina and TJ’s journey to their happy ever after was truly stunning. The alternating points of view are such a wonderful way to tell a story, seeing from the main character’s eyes and truly understanding their take through their trials. Their story was one that has been told before, in reality, and was fabulously illustrated and wonderfully realistic and relevant. If you enjoy modern romance stories with a happy ever after, this is definitely an amazing choice!

This was my first read by this author and at the beginning I was so confused because it dives in to such an attraction between Kat & TJ. After reading for a bit it all started making sense, but I wish the intensity wasn’t so intense right at the start of the book. Once I got into the book, it was actually a good book. The characters are lovable & the storyline is so cute.

You want a book that hits you in all the right places of the heart then one click this one. From the first chapter I knew I was in for a great read. Evan and Callie are totally going to steal every bit of your heart trust me and you’ll give it over willingly. The absolute only downside to this story was that it had to end but I’d read it over and over again easily. The characters are complex and relatable, issues that real people have to deal with on a daily basis are discussed and while not always easy the author does a wonderful job at it. I’d give more stars if possible but just know it’s even bit as amazing as the five stars I’m giving it. Highly recommended!

Because that’s exactly what TJ and Katrina did to me. Each character was so very easy to connect with and you just couldn’t help but love them and their story. The author is amazing with detailed information and a story that keeps you so drawn in you tend to forget the outside world. That was completely fine by me. I’ll definitely be missing these characters and will have to reread their story eventually again. Again five stars well deserved!

Key To His Heart by Kristina Beck

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Key to His Heart is a fantastic read. This story had me hooked from the beginning. I had a hard time putting it down. You will love this book.

Katrina is newly divorced and a soon to be mom. She loves to paint and is an artist. She also has visions. She meets her landlord’s nephew and knows he’s the man from her visions. Will she be able to get him to understand? Will she find out what is going on with her? The quote I chose for Kat is: “Tobias, I love you more and more every day, and I’ll prove it to you for the rest of my life.”

Tobias or TJ is helping out in his parent’s store when a pregnant woman comes in. She wants the rocking chair that his parents aren’t selling. Then he helps her out in more than one way. Now he doesn’t want to let her go. The quote I chose for TJ is: “Pfft. Comparing my life to then and now, it’s amazing what I’ve learned about myself. I thank my lucky stars she’s only a distant memory now. The thought of Kat and Toby not being a part of my life makes me sick to my stomach.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Key To His HeartKey To His Heart by Kristina Beck

This is a love story. But not a typical one. This brings two people together in the most beautiful way; and it a starts with a rocking chair and a baby.

When Katerina, pregnant, and newly divorced walks into TJs store to purchase a special blue rocking chair, it’s love at first sight. Their love story took me through loops and red tape so many times, i could do nothing but to keep reading. There is an element of the mystical when Katerina knows TJ before they meet from her dreams. She has felt him, dreamed of him before she knew him.

The tiptoeing and hesitant romance is so thrilling. It’s like watching a Nicholas Sparks movie. Their romance is timid and sweet. Tj is the definition of sweet.

TJ, a retired football player, doesn’t know what hit him. Katerina is everything to him and he just knows she is his forever. If only he could convince Katerina of the same. it devolves and escalates into this whirlwind love affair that left me biting my nails reading nonstop until the end. There is room for more character development and the story seemed rushed but over all I loved it and would read it again. Read more

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is so much more! Saved by Love doesn’t just fall into the romance category. It hits some potentially very heavy topics along the way. Mental illness being a big one. Autism being a big theme throughout as well. The way the author co-mingles these topics works beautifully. I loved this book, I wasn’t sure I wanted to read it at first. Why, because when books are in a series I usually like to start at book 1. However, besides now having to go back and read the other, this book is just as fantastic as a stand-alone novel.
Callie and Evan both are damaged in their own way. Callie brings everything Evan wants and then some to the table. Unfortunately his mental instability is holding him back. Retiring extremely early in his NHL career, Evan struggles with severe anxiety. Anyone who suffers from anxiety and or depression can relate. You can also relate how being caught in one’s head holds you back. Which is Evan in a nutshell. Callie is the breath of fresh air he never knew he needed.
A small crush no big deal, or so Callie thought. However Evan doesn’t recognize her. Allowing them to get to know each other without anyone holding them back. A screwed up childhood Callie is preserving. Hoping she can rub off some of that success onto Evan.
Now I briefly touched on the autism theme, which is something near and dear to my heart. The way the author represents autism as a minor theme made me extremely happy, I even shed a tear at some points.
Don’t let this book pass you by because you haven’t read the ones that have come before it, you’ll be disappointed if you do. Jump in doesn’t matter that it’s book 7!

So good, soooo good! Oh man where do you even start with this book?! Key to His Heart by Kristina Beck was absolutely an amazing book. This is the first book that I have read by this author and for sure will not be my last. Katrina has finally left her loveless marriage and found herself on the way to single motherhood. She stumbles randomly into TJ and she realizes, it’s him. It’s always been him. Who is him? Well now that you’ll just have to find out for yourself. I absolutely LOVED TJ’s character. He was sweet, dotting, and wore his heart on his sleeve. He embraced Katrina and Toby (her son) without the blink of an eye. I admit I was nervous for the pair and rooting for TJ since he was getting the short end of the stick. But I am so glad they found their way back to each other. There is a lot of detail but I felt it necessary to explain the background of Katrina’s thoughts. It definitely helped. I cannot wait to recommend this book to anyone needing one they can’t put down until it’s over.

Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saved by love is a story about two athletes. One is a man who’s dreams were ripped away from him when he was forced to medically retire from the NHL. As he tries to move on with his life, he gets a job training the women’s gymnastic team. There he meets Callie, a star gymnast who works hard and loves harder. She is a sweet girl who cares about everyone so when she sees how down on himself Evan is, she makes it her mission to help him realize his worth. Through this journey they form a love that helps their future.
I really enjoyed this book. It is a great love story that is well developed and makes you feel hope again right along with the characters. It is easy to lose yourself in the book and I can’t wait to read the rest of the stories in the series.
