The Predator Part OneThe Predator Part One by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

O.M.G. Where oh where has this book and this author been??!! I read a book by this author way back in 2020 but I guess she escaped me. Now, after reading this book, she will not get away!!!

The main character K.C., gets put through so much in her short life. Her family is a real piece of work. Are there really any good political families in real life or make believe? This story is a little predictable on one hand but then there’s a little twist to keep you flipping those pages. Chamberlain, the male MC is ugh…so sweet but ugh. A true guy with his platonic blinders on. I absolutely love love love K.C. and Chamberlain’s relationship. The secondary characters aka best friends, Beth, Scott and even Gwen, who I love to hate right now, are all worthy characters as well.

This way this author writes had me mesmerized and trying to read faster than I ever had. Currently reading part 2 of this story and looking forward to what may and who may come next.

The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance (Love Ties Us)The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance by Nicolette Terry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While this book is the second in the series it can be read as a standalone. The way Nicolette Terry writes is so very descriptive that I could easily “see” it in my mind as I was reading. This book drew me in slow, but hooked me fast. I didn’t want to put it down.
I could definitely tell from the beginning something was off with Cadence and Elijah’s relationship. The way Elijah went from being a jerk to lovey dovey was classic narcissistic behavior. Thankfully Cadence finally figured out he wanted her in a box and when she finally figured that out and allowed herself to grieve that relationship and move on she was much happier. The connection that Cadence has with Damien is everything a girl could ever hope for. Not to mention the steamy scenes with Damien had me thinking I needed to fan my face. (Spicy edition, there’s a clean edition also). Talk about the spark and heat of these two. In the end, love wins it all.

This book is a quick read and the beginning of the Predator Series. I have read from this author before and have always loved what they have written. This book is no different. It is an amazing read about a sports romance. It has steam, drama, emotions that pull at you, angst, more steam, and romance. It will have you wanting to read the second book in the series as soon as you finish this one. It does leave you on a cliff hanger that will be picked up in the second book, another reason I am eager to start book 2. I had some severe reactions to this book, the yelling at the pages, the tears, all followed by the laughs. This book will make you feel everything and will have you finding the second book in the series as soon as you are done with this one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh man I needed this read ! It was lighthearted and so much fun the only thing I’d do is tweek the title to ( no criticism) “ Must love fogs and the rinkside” because let’s face the 3 pooches play a role ❣️🐾😉you can’t help but love Hugo , Annie and Meathead 🐾🤣

Katie and Drew meet at a halloween party and their mascot choices were hilarious to say the least but Katie was the bravest and deserved to win 🤣🤣🤣🤣they also have a get to know you with 10 questions and I think he had her at “dogs” 🤣you can tell a lot by the way someone treats animals 😊

After their first date , Drew walks Katie to the door and gets met with a very protective Hugo and that whole scenario had me in stitches he really let Drew know who’s the “man” in the house 🐾🤣❣️despite the flowers hot , yes the pooch got flowers 💐🥰🐾😉but Hugo won’t let go that easy 😊

You can’t help but feel the chemistry between them and as much as they want to deny it they want more than their single hood they promised to maintain 😉 yes there was rinkside action but I like that the story was more focused on them and how their relationship unfolds and the friendship dynamics , yes there were a few bumps along the way to their HEA but no love story doesn’t have them ….but I must hand it to Drew and the red chilli pepper 🌶️❣️🤣
M
Just the kind of easy read I needed ! It ends the way it started , with a dress up for halloween party 😉both getting their candies aka each other

Edward used to be a priest but life and circumstances made him leave that life behind, and thanks to his mom back to the place he grew up. This new beginning will teach him that not all seems like everyone else knows, but the heart tells. 

Lisette has a complicated life, as owner of a dinner and with a plethora of experience with man and difficult situations her life could be a book, not a good one but still. With a mature and non fantastical heart she will be surprised by life itself. 

 

Both will learn the small town space can lead to dangerous and unclear situations.

The Fallen Man.
Sadly, this being the fifth and final book in the Olympic Peninsula series, it did not disappoint, and it was just as good as the first book.
You could read this as a standalone, but I do highly recommend that you read them in order, so you get the background on all the members of The O’Connell family and their friends, and you can truly appreciate all the family dynamics good and bad. Every character is so well written and developed. Each of the books have been about an O’Connell family member and this is Edward’s (the eldest) story.
A wonderful romance that is going to pull on your heart for sure. Fast paced with drama, secrets, challenges, romance, angst, action suspense and of course some family drama.
This book being set in the holiday season made it even more magical especially in Port Townsend (where I actually live) and on The Olympic Peninsula.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurring the Lines & Extras (The Blind Rebels Series) by Amy Kaybach. This is the novella that explains what happens before the series begins. Its mainly focused on the behind the scenes of the band The Blind Rebels. Becka is determined to get with a rock star and have him love her and write a song about her. She originally thought she was supposed to be with Dominik from Diminished Capacity but learns really quick that he’s not he one for her. Then she meets Mav from The Blind Rebels. Mav falls quite quickly in love with Becka and takes her on the road on tour with the band. Maverick is the lead singer of the band and Callum their guitarist is on the path to destruction. Mav is very concerned about Callum not only for the band’s sake but for his life. Becka and Callum have their own chemistry so while Mav thinks Becka is the one for him Becka is always looking for the next rock star. I loved this book and the characters. Becka was not my favorite but I felt like I’ve met several women like her. Read this great book to find out what happens in the rock star world.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Rinkside was a cute, quick read. Drew and Katie met at a Halloween mascot party. No names and no faces. Neither were in the mood for a party and agreed to leave together. They still had no idea who the other was or what the looked like until they got to the car and changed out of the costumes. They are kind of from the same circle of friends. Katie works with Drew’s sister.
Drew and Katie were immediately attracted to eachother but, that was it. He drove her home. They were both committed to singlehood.
Drew couldn’t get Katie out of his thoughts and 2 days later he decided to take his dogs to the park where he runs into Katie and her dog who was trying to escape but luckily Drew was able to catch him. They agreed to go to dinner that night and then the sparks flew! Even though both weren’t looking for a relationship, it seemed like they quickly found themselves in some sort of situationship!
Drew isn’t used to spending time with a woman since his work is always #1 and his hockey league is #2 in his life. Does he have time to have a woman in his life?
Katie and Drew seemed happy with what they had but Drew was falling behind in his work they were keeping their relationship a secret from everyone. No one knew what was going on and when Drew’s sister Natalie was talking about him to Katie she said how she thought he was seeing someone but wasn’t sure and called him MR. Casual.
Between Katie’s insecurities, and the way her dog Hugo hates and literally attacked Drew, their relationship was cut short before it really had a chance to begin. Will these two be able to work out the issues they have with eachother or are they both destined to be single forever?

The Fallen Man: A Heartwarming Holiday Romance Set in the 1990s (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 5)The Fallen Man: A Heartwarming Holiday Romance Set in the 1990s by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fifth and final book in the Olympic Peninsula series. Even though each book focuses on a different member of the O’Connell family I do recommend reading the books in order as all the character reappear in different books. These books are romances which really tug at the heartstrings. The characters are so well developed and complex that you end up feeling like they are part of your family. This is Edward and Lisette’s story.

Edward is on a journey to rediscover himself after leaving the preisthood. One thing he didn’t expect was to fall in love and the person he falls for is someone he never expected.
Lisette owns a small cafe in town. She is a character who has a past she wants no one else to know about. After changing her name and moving to the small town she is hoping to put her past firmly behind her. That is until she meets Edward. Their attraction is one thing but she knows with her past that she wouldnt be accepted into the O’Connell family.
Try as they might they can’t deny their attraction and as their connection grows what will happen if Lisette’s past is revealed?
This is a beautiful story that really tugs at the heart strings. It is full of family drama and angst as well as secrets and hidden pasts, along with other characters who want to interfere in their growing relationship all set on a backdrop of the holiday. Can the magical time of year be just the charm for this couple to succeed? Should Edward be even looking for a relationship so soon without full rediscovering himself? And can their relationship even survive if their pasts are revealed?
I am a little sad that this book is the end of the series as it feels like I am leaving members of my own family behind which says a lot about the authors skill at writing and creating characters you can’t help but be invested in.

This is the first I’ve read from this author, even though it is connected to a series (playmaker series). I enjoyed this novella as a good quick read. Drew and Katie meet in a funny way at a costume party on Halloween where they are masked. They hit it off when they both sneak away from the party to the porch and see each other’s crazy costumes. They don’t know who each other are until masks are removed later that night, when they decide to ditch the party altogether. They find out they’re connected through friends/family and never really noticed the other before. Both have hesitations about being in a relationship, mainly Katie. Will they be able to overcome those hesitations and give into their obvious chemistry? I would definitely read others in this series.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a huge music person, so this book really resonated with me. I enjoyed the storyline with Caydence and Jade, plus the dynamic with Caydence and Elijah. Then you have the whole dynamic with Caydence and Damien and the music. This was a great summer read and I really liked it. I also loved some of the locations within the book that are places I lived or have visited which added a fun element to the book for me personally. I would absolutely read another book by Nicolette Terry if it’s anything like this one!

So cute! There were two narrators, one male and one female, and they do a wonderful job playing the characters in the story. These characters are relatable for anyone and so fun to follow. They have their hardships, but you find yourself rooting for them and hoping for their happiness. Listen to this book if you love romance, humor, and some steamy scenes.

What a great romance with a wonderful storyline and amazing characters that grab your heart. This is a story about Drew and Katie, both at a mutual friend’s Halloween party, dressed in outrageous mascot costumes. Both had sworn off romance and fell for one another from the moment they met. This is such a sweet romance that will take the reader through the ups and downs of dating, especially when you are getting over a bad relationship history. What a great book to read if you’re in the mood for a short romance that will have you laughing throughout the book, but still get your happily ever after.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

Blurring the Lines & Extras is a prequel novella to the Blind Rebels series by Amy Kaybach. It is a gritty, emotional, angsty, steamy, and dramatic story- and definitely not your usual rock star romance.
There are a few trigger topics covered or mentioned through the book, so if you have any concerns, I advise you to read the TWs before diving into the story (cheating, drug & alcohol use/abuse, mentions overdose leading to death, etc).
I had not read the series before diving into this book- but now wish that I had as the ‘Extras’ part especially would have been better, more impactful, if I had read the other books first. So, perhaps that has played a part in me not being able to fully connect with, or invest in, the MCs and the outcome of their story.
I also found the story a bit slow to get going, but then it felt rushed in other parts. But again, maybe that is because I had not read the other books first- so I will probably need to go back to read the series- then see if that makes a difference to my understanding and appreciation of this book- and my rating.
Stay tuned.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Amy Kaybach!

Blurring the Lines & Extras (The Blind Rebels Series) by Amy Kaybach

Blurring the Lines & Extras ( The Blind Series) is the prequel and gives a little glimpse into the band and the characters. This is a fast paced story that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you’ve finished. I read this story in one afternoon. The characters are developed, creative and complex as they make the story come to life. This is Becka, Mav and Cal’s story. Becka wants out of her life in Chicago and wants songs written about her by a Rock star and it doesn’t matter which one. Mav and Cal are part of the Blind Rebels and there is definitely tension between them. Cal is on a self destruction mission and isn’t wanting to talk about with anyone. Mav is worried about Cal. This story has some dark areas. .I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give anything away.i look forward to reading more from this Author.

This is a prequel/novella that will go behind the scenes and give you details that you didn’t know you needed. It explains so much more about the guys in the bands and the girls who want to be with them. Cam, Mav and Becka are the main focus in this story but there are details about some of the others as well. After reading this I am now going to be working through my TBR so that I can throw myself into the full series.

This was a fun, but very superficial romance. There is humor throughout, which earned it the additional half star for this review.

Drew Foster and Katie Denning both find themselves at a Halloween mascot party for different reasons. Neither of them really want to be there so they hatch a plan to run off together and get out of their respective costumes. They have a pretty hilarious encounter with some law enforcement personnel who will play a part later on in the story too.

Drew and Katie find themselves missing each other after that first interaction and soon find themselves going on a date. They can’t stand to be apart until they have to be and then the questions and doubt come into play. Are they really meant to be a couple?

This was just an ok read for me. I would have liked the relationship to develop much deeper emotionally before it did physically.

This is a great look into the band and gets your attention and makes you want more. I will certainly be checking out the rest of the series. I don’t want to say too much and ruin anything. I will warn that this is a book for 18+ readers. We also get some extra scenes as well. If you like true rocker romance than this is the series for you. 1-click and get started today.

The second book in the Love Ties Us Series by Nicolette Terry is The Music That Ties Us. I didn’t think it could get better than the first book, but I think it hit the mark! Some of the same great characters are in this book and portions of the storyline overlap. This book is centered around Cadence and Damien and their chance meeting at a concert. The Music That Ties Us is just as emotionally charged, but full of more drama and suspense than the first book in the series. Cadence and Damien have an obvious chemistry but many forces, along with their own inner demons, are intent on keeping them apart. Well-written world building and the same amazingly flawed characters are something I’m coupling with Nicolette Terry. I can’t wait to read more from her!

Nicolette Terry is a first time author for me, but she quickly had me falling in love with her words! The Story That Ties Us is the first book in the Love Ties Us Series. It is a heartfelt, second chance romance full of drama, heartbreak, friendship, and includes the death of a close friend who was killed in combat. This book was so emotionally charged and beautifully written. The world building was spot on; I could feel the fear in Jamie’s heart, the confusion Blakely encounters, and the excitement of all towards the end of the book. The characters are so realistically flawed, believable, and lovable. The life of those serving in the military is discussed while exploring what emotions and feelings they go through upon returning home from deployment. Jamie and Blakely’s chemistry and history is undeniable and oh-so-swoon-worthy. What a great read from Nicolette Terry.

The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance (Love Ties Us)

I had a hard time putting this book down. I fell in love with Damien and Cadence individually and together. Cadence is one of the two friends who live out of state and doesn’t get home nearly often enough.

Damien is the lead singer of Rebel Rebellion, while touring with his band he meets Jade. Jade who is also Cadence’s sister drags her along to one of their shows and sparks fly.

The first half of the book focuses on them as individuals and everything going on in their lives separately. It highlights what a catch Damien is and made me fall for him just a little bit.

The first two books have been my introduction to Ms. Terry which I discovered were her first two full length books. I’m looking forward reading her evolution as an author.

I was so excited to read this prequel because I already knew this series is amazing. This story contained so many emotions. The turmoil that Becka caused not only for Mav and Cal but for the entire band was huge. While I was reading this situation unfold I just wanted to yell at them to open their eyes and see what they were doing to each other. I definitely became invested in the characters and the outcome. I thoroughly enjoyed the extras in the second part of this book. Reading other characters’ points of view made everything more interesting. I don’t want to give anything away so I’m going to say this is a must read but I suggest that you read the series first.

The Story That Ties Us: A Second Chance Romance (Love Ties Us)

Losing anyone seems to put things in perspective but when it’s a close friend yiu have had since childhood it really kicks you in the gut then the rear to try and fix things with people you have hurt or lost touch with.

Jamie broke Blakely’s heart several years ago and it was when she needed him most and he hasn’t seen her since, but that changes when he sees her out in the wild.

Blake’s life wasn’t the worst but could have been better, but Jamie in her life first as friends then they move forward. Her heart is shattered twice is a very short period of time. She moves on and is happy with her job and boyfriend until she sees Jamie again after a long while.

I loved the way the second chance for this couple worked out even with all of the peaks and valleys along the way. I’m excited to keep up with this group of friends and how they find love.

A great second book that follows the loves of Cadence and Damien. Cadence is the best friend of Blake, the main character in book one. This was another dual point of view story and I loved it. Cadence is stuck in a job that she doesn’t really like with a boyfriend that she has had since college. Her eyes are opening and she starts to see that he isn’t the man she fell in love with but she keeps trying and hoping to bring that fun, loving boy back into her life. Cadence meets Damien, the lead singer of a rock band, when her sister Jade drags her to a show one night. Instart sparks fly with just a look but Cadence is in a relationship and therefore off limits. Damien is the lead singer of a rock band that is still trying to make it big. He is tattooed and pierced and brooding. He seems to hold everything close to him and doesn’t really open up or let anyone in. Cadence needs to choose what is going to make her happy and Damien needs to keep his family safe. This book was a page turner and I hope that there are more to come in the series!

I loved this book! I loved the characters and the conflicts and the military background. This is a second chance romance with alternating point of view chapters/sections. Blakely and Jamie were high school sweethearts until he joined the Air Force, started pulling away, and then broke off their engagement. Blakely moved on, bought a house, has her dream job at the local paper, and is dating again. She is still hurt and doesn’t understand why he left but she thinks her anger will protect her heart from feeling more. Jamie hasn’t been home in years, but he comes back for his friend’s funeral. It was a friend he grew up with, ran into again in the Air Force and became close again, and now Jamie feels responsible for his death. Jamie and Blakely are thrown together over and over and she tries to keep her distance while he tries to not show his true feelings. Jamie is hurting, he is struggling, he is closed off from everyone around him. Being home and around his friends again he starts to heal and hopes to heal the hurt he caused Blakely too.

I must say up front to read the author’s warning first. I found this to be an interesting read. It is a prequel to the Blind Rebels series. It’s rough, gritty and deals with some tough stuff. Mav, Callum, Becka and Sammy are well-written characters. I don’t know anything about the rock scene but I feel this was pretty realistic. This is one messed up group. I’m pretty sure that I may need to read the series because I’m left feeling like something is missing. I suggest you read it for yourself and make up your own opinion. The “extras” are bonus chapters for each book in the series. If you are a fan of rock romance, this would be a good read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurring the Lines & Extras was an interesting story. I enjoyed it to an extent, though like Callum I’m not a fan of the main female character. The author gives a story of a woman’s need to be famous and need for attention.
Becka is determined to bag a rock star. Have the focus be on her and have a song written about her.
Unfortunately Dom isn’t the man she thought he was, but it lands her in the lap of Maverick. When he invites her on tour, how can she resist? But one problem she has in her head is that she needs to do all this. But also needs to love the band but have each one love her back.
Maverick is at odds with Callum which is why he ends up right in. The arms of Becka. Becka becomes his world outside of his band Blind Rebels, but just one problem, nothing is ever easy. He has a band member who is going off the rails who has a death wish. A best friend he doesn’t know how to help, but wants to in the worst way.
When Becka gets involved she makes it so Cal can’t resist her. Not taking into account how that will impact him.
Will Maverick find out?
Will Cal be the one to spill the beans about Becka?
Or will Becka truly come clean herself?
Will Cal succeed in moving on from life?
Those questions and so many more.
Go into this story with an open heart. I don’t care for Becka’s game so I was rooting for Cal to blow it all up. Who will you get behind?
