My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another enjoyable and engaging short and sweet contemporary romance novella. Kyra Shine has been interning for a few months at the Merchant Marine Science Centre and already has a crush on bad boy and ladies man Jake. Meanwhile her older and trusted mentor Dylan O’Day seems to be very overprotective of Kyra and does not think much of Jake, but Kyra thinks he’s misinformed, after all they share a love of conservation and nature especially the ocean. Dylan has been an exemplary and devoted marine biologist for years but since Kyra joined the team he has been distracted. He wants to tell her how he feels but being older and her mentor he understands the ethical issues involved. Before he can act however, they discover that the endangered turtles nests which they have been watching over along the coast have been raided overnight.
The Science Centre team goes on high alert but following a dangerous encounter with the illegal poachers the team fight to save the turtles before another nest is ransacked. As Dylan decides whether to tell Kyra how he feels, Kyra is finding out that maybe Jake is not as perfect as he seems and that in fact she has more in common with her mentor. This is a heartwarming, sweet romance with a love triangle theme. The storyline has enough action in the plot along with a bit of mystery that I was kept happily turning the pages. The characters are all relatable and realistic and Kyra is especially likeable, I enjoyed seeing how her relationships changed and developed between her and the two men in her life. Set in Australia along the beautiful coast the author made the setting come alive and I could almost feel the sun.

A Natural Passion is a great contemporary romance novella by Tammy Mannersly. I have read several of Tammy Mannersly’s novella and have really enjoyed every one of them. I can now add A Natural Passion to that list. I really enjoyed reading this novella.
With most books that I read being set in the USA, it’s great to discover somewhere new as Tammy Mannersly’s books are set in Australia. With a marine biology background, this book is set in the beautiful coastline and has totally piqued my interest in marine biology and conservation.
Dylan and Kyra’s story is a bit different as at the beginning Kyra is interested in a different man. She just hasn’t quite realised just how perfect the man she is working alongside, who is mentoring her is just perfect for her.
I loved reading how Dylan and Kyra’s relationship changed as they migrated towards each other, realising just how similar they are in their career aspirations and conservation beliefs.
This is a very enjoyable read, that although short has plenty of action packed into it to keep you really engaged and wanting to read more.

4 Stars

This was an enjoyable read. First, I’ve always been fascinated with the turtles and watch a lot of nature shows that talk about the conservation of these, so I found this part unique and I loved it.

I’m not super crazy about love triangles normally and I had this one figured out pretty early on, but did enjoy how it all played out. It was a very easy read and left me with a sweet comforted feeling at the end. I really enjoy this author’s books and her writing is amazing so I will always pick them up as I see them. Can’t wait for more!

I highly recommend this story, it was short, sweet and a definite one sitting read.

Loved it!

This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. This is a quick and classic romance which I love. I was hooked on these characters from the first chapter. I could not stop reading until I finished the book. I was in love with the story. I read it in only one sitting. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

Dylan O’Day is a well known marine biologist in his town. He is trying to save the sea turtles but there is someone that is poaching the eggs. Dylan has feelings for Kyra but he is way older than her. He doesn’t want to break the trust they have but he can’t stop thinking about her. Will Dylan finally tell Kyra how he feels or will they just stay friends?

This was such a fun, cute and lovable story! It was shorter but, as the reader you still got all the most important parts to a great story! The writing that Tammy Mannersly is able to accomplish really pulls you into the story! Not every author can do this. The two main characters, Kyra and Dylan are also so relatable because they are fighting for something they love (Marine life and the sea turtle eggs) and I think that is one of the most relatable things ever! Everyone has something they want to fight for and believe in. That’s what I loved about this story, it was very relatable with who the characters were and I love when that comes across.

This was a great 5 star read, my emotions were all over the place.
We start with a funeral where five teammates come together to honor their old coach. Craig is one of those five, he hasn’t seen coaches daughter Rachel in years and isn’t sure just how she will be with him. Craig and Rachel were high school sweethearts that didn’t end well.

Her brother is very protective of Rchel and isn’t happy about what is happening between them. Rachel has some secrets from the past that need to be shared with Craig. Will they be able to move forward once the secrets are revealed?

Overall this was a good second chance romance. I really liked all of the characters, they added a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I look forward to reading more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

A Natural Passion had me hooked from the first few sentences and I had to keep reading to find out what would become of the characters and if the mystery of the raided sea turtle nests could be solved. It was very well written, characters were well described, and the book moves along at a good pace.

The story centers around Dylan O’Day, a marine Biologist, and his intern, Kyra Shine. Dylan is dedicated to preserving and protecting marine life and has devoted his life to doing so. Suddenly his world is turned upside down when he meets his intern, Kyra, who he becomes smitten with. Dylan has never met anyone as caring and down to earth as her before. He finds himself conflicted as he finds himself falling for her but does not want to risk his relationship with her as her mentor. He is also older than her, so he chooses to keep his feelings to himself and keep their relationship platonic.

Kyra finds herself infatuated with her boss’ son, Jake, who has a reputation as being a bit of a bad boy. However, Kyra only sees the good in Jake because they share a love for the ocean and more importantly the endangered turtles. Kyra spends a great deal of time with Jake, much to Dylan’s dismay, and Dylan tries to warn her about him. Kyra chooses to ignore Dylan’s advice and continues to see Jake thinking that Dylan is being overprotective.

When illegal poachers start raiding the nests of the endangered sea turtles the Science Center Team sets out to investigate and save the nests before more are ransacked. Dylan sets out to protect the endangered sea turtles against the poachers and hopes to catch them in the act. Will he be able to save the endangered sea turtles? Will his heart be broken by Kyra? Will Kyra choose Jake, or will she choose Dylan? Will true love prevail? You will have to read to find out!

This is the first book in this series by Bernadette Marie. I really connected to the characters. Coach Diaz passes away and five of his players are called back to be pallbearers. They were his core players when his own son passed away, and he really took them under his wing. It made me really think about the impact we make on other people and the impression we leave. How many people do we lose contact with that were so important in our lives as we grow older and make our own way in the world?
Craig one of the fabulous five and he comes face to face with coach’s daughter, Rachel. She wants to catch up. He is torn, he broke coach’s rule once, Rachel was off limits. Will they find their way back to each other? Or is there too much standing in the way?
I love second chance romances, as I am engaged in mine right now. These always tug at my heart and make me glad that we can choose to open our hearts and love again.

A Natural Passion is a short story with a cause running through it. I have read a few books by Ms. Mannersly and this one is my favorite. I love stories that have preservation of animals, and this hit the spot. This was a fast read, about an hour and a half, but it was just what I needed on a lazy Sunday Afternoon. Dylan and Kyra have chemistry, but it took a while for them to figure it out. This was a really enjoyable read.

Something Lost (Funerals and Weddings Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie was such a fantastic read, I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series. While I am a huge fan of contemporary romance this has quickly become one of my favorites. Ms. Marie’s characters are fabulous, her plot leaves just enough to the imagination to keep you flipping the pages, and her scenery descriptions are beautiful. Ms. Marie’s writing is so beautiful and flows so effortlessly that I read this book in just a couple of hours. Rachel and Craig loved each other a long time ago when they were kids, but now that their paths cross once again as adults what will happen next? You’ll have to read Something Lost for yourself to find out.

Kyra is an intern at a turtle conservation center. Dylan is her 10 year older mentor. After finding out poachers are targeting sand dunes, the two begin working very closely together to figure out who the packers are. This book is a clean, sweet romance novel. It’s a very fast read and set in Australia. It’s written in 3rd person which I’m starting to notice a lot of Australian books are.

Callie is escaping from an abusive relationship with the help of her neighbor, Jane, and her brother-in-law, CC Chapman (a pilot with Trident Security). Given a chance at a second love, Callie and CC go through many challenges thanks to Callie’s soon-to-be ex husband. They overcome so much heartbreak for two mature people. Though with the help of CC’s friends and coworkers at Trident, they soon kick Brodie’s butt. Through this all, Callie and CC realize that they can talk and work things out and trust each other. This is an overwhelmingly emotional book. All the feels. Well written and the author even includes resources for domestic violence abuse at the back. Highly recommend. I just can’t say enough. This is a book you must read. I will be reading more of her work.

Something Lost is the first book in the Funerals and Weddings series by Bernadette Marie. This book had my attention from the very first page. The Fab 5 are brought together by their college coach’s funeral, it also brought Craig and Rachel, coach’s daughter, back together. This book had all the feels, and I love the way this author hooks you for the whole series with the fantastic bits of backstory about each of the Fab 5. This was a great read for a fall afternoon, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great romance. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

This is a stand alone romance book. This was my first experience reading a book by Mannersly and I was not disappointed. this book explores attraction romance and also covers conservation efforts of turtles. The characters were introduced well and this led to you becoming entranced in this story as you just had to know what becomes of the main character and where her heart leads her as she reflects on what she wants from a romantic partner. this book can be read in one sitting and you will not be disappointed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Something Lost by Bernadette Marie, you are drawn into a wonderful book filled with emotion, heart and beautiful characters you grow to care more and more about with each turn of the page.

Craig Turner attends the funeral of his beloved coach Diaz and reunites not only with his former team mates but also the coaches family, to honour the man who truly meant so much to them all but especially Craig. This proves to be more than he could have ever imagined it to be when Rachel Diaz , the coaches daughter and the one girl to never leave his heart, wants to catch up.
Rachel doesn’t know if asking to catch up with Craig is the right thing to do but she feels as though they have unfinished business. He has always had her heart even though they haven’t seen each other in years. Only time will tell if it is closure she is after or if the years apart have given them the time to grow that they needed to have a real relationship.

I can’t wait to see what is in store next for us in the rest off this fantastic series. I have all ready pre-ordered the rest of the series!!

Kiss Me Before Flight by Thia Finn is a contemporary romance and second chance story. I just started reading the Trident Security series collection by Samantha A. Cole and when I realised that this story was connected, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Coincidence? I think not. There is action and danger, abuse, and sorrow and so much more that will have you lost in the flow of this emotionally driven story. There are some hard hitting scenes in the book and if you can get past them, you will unwrap what becomes a beautiful tale.

Violence has been her world for so long it’s hard to remember life without it but she is determined to finally leave that life behind. Helping was one thing he had to do but it became so much more, and he wanted, no needed to be near her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Home to the Outback is book one in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series by Nicole Flockton. I just love an Australian love story. Nothing like a story from home to keep me up all night reading. It is so nice to be able to relate to the content and know where places are and the slang sometimes used. I just loved everything about this story. From the blurb, to the characters, to the ending and everything in between. The layout and execution was on point and there was really nothing I don’t like about this story. I love a good dr/nurse romance and this one contained heat, dramatics, uncertainty, surprise and completeness. Sindy and Ryan held me captive and hanging from every moment and every word. Impossible to put down. Impossible to forget. 5 stars

Rachel and Craig dated behind her father’s back when they were in high school. He was the coach’s star player and she was the coach’s daughter. Once graduation came…they went their separate ways. Craig went one way to try to chase his dream…while Rachel followed her father’s expectations for her and became a high school therapist. Years pass and the two are brought together once again when Rachel’s father passes away.
One thing is certain when these two meet again…their feelings for each other never went away. They have both grown and changed. There are secrets and traumas between them that may stop them from exploring their feelings for each other before they can even begin.
This is a story of love and loss…trauma and healing…friendship and family. I enjoyed Rachel and Craig’s characters and feel like they were people I knew back in high school. The secondary characters are great and I can’t wait to learn more about them in future books. I was pulled into the story from the beginning and didn’t want to let go when I got to the last page. I am hoping that we will get glimpses of them in future books!

A Natural Passion is a cute story. Super relatable. Who hasn’t gone after the bad boy? It contained romance, a little mystery and kept the audience entertained. Tammy Mannersly did a great job telling a story. As a result, I fell in love with the characters. My only complaint is that I wanted more! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good love story. If you love hallmark movies then this is the book to read. Tammy keep them coming.

A Natural Passion is set at a turtle conservation center, the center is trying to protect egg nests along the coast that continue to be poached. Dylan, is a 32 year-old male, who runs the center. Dylan is in love with Kyra, an intern, who is 10 years younger. However, Kyra has a crush on Jake, who is a complete ass. It’s a love story that evolves due to having the same passions for natural life. I thought that the story itself was sweetly predictable. The development of the love story was sweet and I am glad that the good guy won in the end. I would have liked a little more of the story of seeing them together, but at the end you knew they would go on to have an amazing relationship. In the end, it was an easy and easy read that made you feel satisfied at the end.

Something Lost is the first book in the Funerals and Weddings series by Bernadette Marie. Bernadette Marie has an amazing talent of writing series that focus on a family and we get the stories of each of the siblings. In this series we are getting the stories of 5 guys who played on the same team in college, known as The Famous Five.
We start with the funeral of their coach which brings the five guys together. In this book we get the story of star player Craig Turner who had broke the rules and dated the coach’s daughter. Now 10 years later they meet again at his funeral. Will the spark still be there?
I absolutely adored Craig and Rachel’s story. I’m a sucker for a good second chance romance and this is definitely a good second chance romance. Of course the path to true love never runs smoothly and there are many obstacles in Rachel and Craig’s way, including Rachel’s family who blamed Craig for they problems Rachel had when he went off to college. Can Rachel and Craig convince her family that they are meant to be together? That they have both still loved each other after all these years?
One thing I loved about this book is the camaraderie between the five guys and I can’t wait to get to know the others better as we get each of their stories.

A Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly was a wonderfully written novella. I am falling in love with Mannersly’s writing style! She doesn’t use overly large words but instead lets the descriptive words run free. Her novella’s are short, sweet, and quite to the point, but not a moment goes by that you can’t accurately picture the setting!

This book follows Dylan and Kyra as they take everything day by day. Although the plot was fairly predictable, it was not the cliché “oh they get to be together and live happily blah”. This is more focused on the small aspects, the little self doubts they have, and the jobs that both Kyra and Dylan love more than pretty much anything else. A Natural Passion is a must read and it won’t take much brain power to read because it flows so well and as soon as you start, you can’t stop!!!

My only complaint is that this book is too short! I found myself falling in love with Dylan the moment he was introduced and then it was this all took place in Australia and he immediately turned into a Hemsworth brother in my mind. I really enjoyed that it was light-hearted and still gave me butterflies sometimes romantic scenes don’t have to be extremely explicit. Just a little hint of cuteness can leave the mind wandering off to explore what the reader wants to happen. I would recommend this as a quick read while on lunch at work and are in desperate need of an escape. This book will have you traveling off to Australia to save the sea turtles and forgetting your normal day-to-day life. I can’t wait to reread it.

I absolutely love that Hazel Storm has made Greek Gods characters in her stories. This book had me seriously glued to it from start to finish. I literally could not put it down because I wanted to find out what would happen next. I found myself immersed in another world, experiencing all of the different emotions that Vanessa felt as she found herself drawn to two people that are complete opposites. Raef is pure and light like Vanessa, and Grey is dark and dangerously sexy. Both of them are irresistible in their own ways.
I really enjoyed how this book made me ponder life after death and just what awaits you at the end of this lifetime. It does so in a way that steals your breath away and leaves you on the edge of your seat the entire time. I smiled, laughed, teared up and gasped with shock at various parts of this book. This amazing story will run you through the entire gamut of emotions. My mouth was wide open at the twist ending and I am so looking forward to the next book in this series. Do yourself a favor and get lost in the world that Hazel Storm has so eloquently created.

This was my first time reading Bernadette Marie and I enjoyed the first book of her new series. Admittedly, I have a soft spot for second chance romances! I feel like she developed her characters well and presented them in a realistic way.

Craig and Rachel were each other’s first love. This is the story of how they get back to that love, what happened to them in the in between, and how they worked through the trauma of it. I appreciated the acknowledgement to mental health and how Rachel sought out help to deal with the loss of her brother and her own issues with depression.

All the characters in the coming books are introduced and I am looking forward to reading more about them and how they find love! Honestly, I just love when there is a group of people that are there for each other through thick and thin. I want them all to find their happy ever after ending!
