This is a nice story. I like the whole friendship among the guys. How they were always there for each other. That is my favorite thing about this story. Craig and Rachel have a love story over the years. They have a quick relationship but its a slower story in order to bring out all their aches and pains of the past and not being together. This is a wonderful first book of a new series.

This was a book that truly was a wonderful heart feel in more than one way! How could I not enjoy this book? Th writing really helped me connect to the story line as well as the characters, and not just in the sense of who they were but also for how they felt at given moments in the book. It was a good paced read, and was not long before I concluded it! All in all, a very good read to sit back and enjoy!
The book brought on different passions for me. For me, aside from the amazing connecting love story it gave. It gave me something else that anyone who knows me I have a strong sense of passion for, and that’s saving and protecting the endangered wild life. As well as that statement, yes I am a turtle lover so this book’s story line was close to my heart. I loved how the mentor and his well assistant really cared about the nesting turtles. I could see more than their passion for one another in the sense of protecting the sea turtles from danger was a priority for them. I really felt that, and it made it all more realistic for me. I loved how the author put a true issue in today’s world and applied it perfectly within the book!
Aside from the amazing story line with the sea turtles. I loved the chemistry and that passion that basically came like an ocean wave for Kyra and Dylan. Dylan, yes he was a bit older and he was the boss basically being the mentor. I am one who believes true love knows no age. Its just a number. I find not enough authors will write a story about that and I really loved how this amazing author did so with that as well! Kyra was also a typical female. We always seem to want the bad boy, but perhaps the good hearted nice guy can be the bad boy we want so badly and still provide all the things we want badly with a sense of sexiness’ basically as much as we would want and like. Needless to say I loved how realistic the love triangle was in this novel, and the sea turtles and saving the environment was defiantly a beautiful touch that only added to this wonderful amazing story!
Again, this was a must read for sure. I highly do recommend reading this book. As said it is a fast read. And the pace is a good steady amount. The word play and how the story line of the turtles and the love triangle intercept made it just more awesome and heart felt to read. I truly enjoyed it and I will be for sure reading more by this wonderful author. I look forward to more from them in the future!
I loved this book right off the bat. I loved all the members of the Fabulous five almost immediately. I am hoping in the next four installments that we see each of these men settle down! I do have to say that the main female lead Rachel was someone that I could definitely see myself being best friends with if she were real. I can not wait for the release of the next few books!

A strong start to the series A contemporary romance with a second chance feel. The story has all the feels. The focus for this book is on Craig and Rachel and overcoming their past demons. I hope this is a series where we still get glimpses of each couple in future books as I would like to see where Craig and Rachel end up. I liked each of the members of the team and I look forward to their individual stories. An easy to read, sweet romance series starter that most will enjoy.

Kiss Me Before Flight is a Suspenseful Seduction World novel by Thia Finn. This is a wonderful second chance contemporary romance with mature characters, a captivating storyline, suspense, emotion, drama, angst, chemistry, tension, and even a touch of humour. Thia Finn has taken a secondary character from Samantha A. Cole’s “Trident Security” series and spun him a superb story of his own. I have not read any of the “Trident Security” series- but Thia Finn has definitely sparked my curiosity enough to add them to my TBR pile. Thia Finn always manages to weave an engrossing story that pulls me in and gets me fully invested in the characters and the outcome of their story. And here she not only created emotional story with some intense moments, but also managed to sprinkle in a little humour along the way, giving it some lighter scenes as well. When Callie finally finds the courage to leave her abusive marriage- her neighbour, Jane, enlists the help of her brother-in-law, who happens to be the pilot for Trident Security. With Conrad’s help Callie is whisked away—- annnnd then— no spoilers here, but what happens next makes for a really great read. Looking forward to seeing what Thia Finn does next!

Home to the Outback is a starter novel to the Welcome to Bunya Junction series. It’s a small-town romance between two adults. Ryan has recently dissolved his partnership with who he thought was his good friend. When his mentor passes away, he moves back to his small hometown where he reconnects with Sindy, his old friend’s sister. This book reminded me of the TV show, Hart of Dixie, if it were set in Australia.

This was a quick cute read. I liked the plot about being centered around the turtle preservation. I did not really connect with the characters in the story but that could be due to the brevity of the book. I did have a feeling about Jake from the start. Overall, it was a clear, clean plot and enjoyable.

Beautiful sea turtles in book or in movies always get me. This was a wonderful stories wrapped around a preserve. Dylan and Kyra work around challenges such as nest poachers and age differences and a bad boy in the group. They come through stronger than ever. This was so well written and put together. It was a nice quick read. I can say it was original and had some new action. Highly recommend.
A Natural Passion by Tammy Mannersly is another quick and easy romance story that has a great story and interesting characters. I thought the romance between the main characters was such a sweet story. It didn’t start out as the obvious romance but grew into something so heart-warming. The overall story was fun and entertaining. The author built up the story and really developed the characters from start to finish. I love how easy the flow is of every single one of this authors stories. They are the perfect books to just lose yourself in for a few hours, to think of nothing but the characters. This book is as thoroughly enjoyable as every other book that I have read by her and I would definitely recommend it.
Another fantastic read by Mannersly. A Natural Passion is a short read, but great. The characters are wonderful and you’ll fall in love with them.
Dylan doesn’t want to break his moral code and take Kyra into his arms. When poachers start to take the turtle eggs the Center ups the patrols. They catch who is behind it. The quote I chose for Dylan is: “Baby steps are better than nothing, Jake. You stick to your word and I’ll stick to mine.”
Kyra has her eyes set on Jake, but he isn’t who she thought he was. When things come to light about him she turns to Dylan. Telling him her feelings isn’t what she wants to do. The quote I chose for Kyra is: “I don’t know what he was talking about. But, I can tell you that I’m keen to find out.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.
I really love this author – her stories are so easy to read and really enjoyable. I really liked Sindy and Ryan, they were both really lovely characters and I loved reading about them. The authors way with her characters makes them really likeable and relatable and I found that to be the same in this book as previous ones. I felt the heartbreak of the characters and I was definitely rooting for the two of them the whole way through. They seemed to have a genuine connection which felt real and not forced! I would definitely recommend this book and as always, I look forward to more from this author again in the future.

I really enjoyed reading this romance. Even though it’s a short story it is a complete one in the sense it all flows and makes sense. I also loved the characters and the twist at the end I didn’t see coming.
Kyra is kinda caught between 2 men. Jake who’s a heart throb and ladies man, who claims to share her passion for nature and preserving wildlife and Dylan who is her mentor, who’s life is based around saving the turtles and preserving their life. Her attraction to both men is intense but she is unsure where her heart truelly lies. Add to this story a mystery over who is poaching the turtles eggs and its an adventure which will leave you shocked when the person behind the thefts is revealed.
A Natural Passion is a standalone romance by Tammy Mannersly. It’s a sweet story that centres around turtle conservation, raising awareness of the risks this species faces (and providing an excuse for plenty of swimwear and beach scenes…) Mannersly introduces the love triangle from the get-go, and in many ways it’s the classic “girl choosing between a bad boy and a nice guy” setup but there’s more to it. Dylan is reluctant to make a move, aware of how he could end up taking advantage of his position as Kyra’s mentor. Jake has also been playing the long game, waiting until he had enough money saved up to treat Kyra to ask her out. But there’s something about his behaviour that bothers her. I found aspects of the story a bit predictable, but there’s something comforting in reading a story where you’ve got an idea how things will pan out. There’s still plenty of tension, both between the characters and with the fact that the turtles are in serious danger. My favourite thing about it was the seaside setting. I felt like I was with Dylan in his kayak, exploring the coast. A mini-break in a book! This book gets four stars from me. I would recommend it to animal lovers looking for a light, romantic read.

Something Lost (Funerals and Weddings Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie
This is the second book by Ms. Marie I have had the pleasure of reading and I have no doubts that I will be reading more especially this series.
I read a lot of books and there are some that I read pretty quick while others not quite as fast. This was one of the books I read pretty quick because I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen between Craig and Rachel and how it all went down.
I’m lucky to have a few friends from my high school years that I’m still close with and each time we get together it’s like no time has passed which is what I saw with Craig and his friends.
I throughly enjoyed this Book and can’t wait to read the next in this series.

This was a story about finding yourself again, but I felt like it could’ve been more in depth. It was a quick read with what could’ve been a great story to tell. Ray moves back to his hometown to start over and his best friends sister, Alyssa, comes back into his life.
Alyssa’s life has been tragic, with the death of her brother and being in an abusive relationship, but her brothers best friend, Ray, the boy who has always had her heart, makes her see that she can start over.
Ray is a hometown hero. He left to become a boxer. An injury threatens to end his career so he “retires” and heads back home to buy the local eatery they all grew up at. And finds Alyssa in the process. Will they both get a fresh start or will they stay in the past?

Quick read with a nice insight to egg poachers. That is truly devastating that there are people out there willing to destroy animals for financial gain. I appreciate the mention. Now bless Dylan’s heart, here is he making himself sound so much older than Kyra, but 10 years is nothing! I was rooting for them the whole book, Jake seemed like a douche bag from the start and throughout the story, that was confirmed. I wish Kyra would have just chosen Dylan from the beginning, it seems like he was a back up plan to me, but he loves her so much so I couldn’t be mad that he finally got the woman of his dreams.
I enjoyed this suspenseful story with a twist of romance adding in. This is an author that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up of hers. This is a story that pulled me in from the beginning. It is an engaging story that is not only fast paced but full of action as well. The characters bring the story to life on each page by the author’s use of details. I also enjoyed how connectable they are as well as strong. This is a well written story about Callie who is in need of help after she has escaped from her abusive husband. CC Chapman is not sure he is up for the challenge of Callie. What he did not expect was her to be so beautiful. What happens next I highly recommend reading this book to find out. You don’t want to miss the twists and turns they will take you on. This is a really great story that I had a hard time putting down. I highly suggest picking it up today.

This is not my first rodeo with this gifted author, but once again they know how to bring not only a story to life, but also the characters, How they write, is more than just a technique, their characters that they create tend to leap off the page in a sense of how realistic they are! The story was a wonderful read, start to finish.
I loved how I was able to relate not only in sense to the charact4ers, but you really got a feel for them! For the character Craig. He did a lot of growing up through out this novel I found he had big dreams he wanted to make soar, but somethings he wanted or even had, had to be left in the dust to achieve these goals and that is exactly what he chose…but were they truly the best decisions for him? He loved Rachel, truly yes. She was left behind, but perhaps she kept a piece of her heart always?
Rachel grew up as well. She did not at times have the best father and daughter relationship. I found she chose to grow up to be what was expected of her and not really what she wanted. At first glance it seemed her and Craig were the match made in Heave, but both of them chose different lives and paths. Is this how it was meant to be? Or did fate have other plans for these two souls?
Years passed since Craig and Rachel first saw one another or even interacted for that matter. A sad time brought them together. One thing was certain though, though the times and years that had passed, they never truly let go of one another. When they got to spend time together again, i found it was as of all those years and time was swept away, they had so much chemistry and good moments between them it seemed as if they both were thinking and realizing maybe they have a chance as the one thing that would completely make them happy and full their hearts with no doubts?
I loved reading Craig’s and Rachel’s story. They seemed so real, as if I was sitting listening to their story and more like they were close friends to me, and I was the cheerleader rooting for them to take that chance as well as leap of faith they ended up missing out on. The story was more than just touching and emotional, it was beautiful, fragile, and to me reading their story shows you what makes life worth it.
I really enjoyed this book, and once again enjoyed this story by this captivating author. I look forward to the next in their series they have started here. This was a well written book, and one I enjoyed very much with all my heart. Yes, I highly recommend. It is defiantly a read worth while in more ways than one!

This is a truly beautiful book. It is so romantic with bits of tragedy within. Rachel has overcome some deeply tragic stuff. She has used that to become a social worker. Craig comes back into her life. He was her high school sweetheart. Together these two overcame a history filled with so much drama and have come together to create a new life. Rachel, Craig and their friends are created to feel so real that you can feel their pain, angst, happiness and every other emotion. It’s just so real. Parts of the story ripped my heart out because it could have come straight from the news. So much heart ache, yet they could turn it around. You have to read this book. Run don’t walk, to pick up this book. I highly recommend. It would get 10 stars

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet by her. This is a well written story about romance and second chances. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the author’s use of details giving the story a realistic feel. The characters are connectable and make the story engaging. I found this story to be a fast paced romance story about Craig and Rachel. They once had something which was brief but when they meet again at a funeral could this be the second chance fate is giving them? I enjoyed their growth throughout the story as well as their chemistry together. They brought the story to life on each page and had great support by the secondary characters. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Some Lost by Bernadette Marie is the first book in the Funerals and Weddings series. This is a great second chance romance that is all about the characters. I liked both Craig and Rachel. It really felt like they were the focus of the story, that everything built around them. I did think that at times the story needed a little more detail to it. The author could have really added an even deeper level to it. However I did think the story was enjoyable and the overall idea came across well. Another thoroughly story by a great author.

Another lovely read from this author. I find her books so easy and enjoyable to read. I loved the setting for this story, it was so unique and the authors descriptive language really brought the story to life. I really liked the characters Dylan and Kyra both relatable and enjoyable to read about. There were some great twists and turns in the story too which I loved!

Bernadette Marie has written this book so clearly I felt like she Introduced the characters to me and the readers. I felt as part of this story starting in chapter one. Reading as the romance built from the loss of a parent and old friends was heartwarming. Bernadette Marie kept this story going, with the emotional events as they happened.

Something Lost is the first book in the Funerals and Weddings series by Bernadette Marie. It is the start of a new series, which looks set to be great. This is a contemporary romance about never forgetting your first love and second chances. Craig and Rachel were high school sweethearts- he was one of her father’s star players, and she was the coach’s daughter. Circumstances tore them apart- only to come face to face again for the first time at her father’s funeral. Old feelings bubble to the surface and the spark of romance is rekindled. But, there are secrets that will need to be addressed and the past dealt with, if they stand any chance of a future together. A sweet start to this new series. Looking forward to more.

This is a beautiful story about a second chance love. The characters are really easy to like and you can’t help wanting their love to succeed. The author does an amazing job of making the reader experience all the emotions that they go through.
Craig and Rachel’s story restarts after they meet at her father’s funeral. Even after all the years that have past their connection is strong. However neither knew what to expect. Would it just be a catch up with old friends or would something be rekindled between them.
They have both grown up since the last time they were together. Rachel has some secrets and scars in her past that could make or break them. Will Craig be strong enough and the man she needs to support her as she faces her demons or will their second chance be over as quickly as it starts?
