166 Pages of funny, emotional, sexy and so much more…..
2 people skittish of relationships (for different reasons) come crashing together with chemistry out of this world. With some bantering and steamy no strings attached fun what can go wrong…… What indeed…..
Mindy McKinley did an AMAZING job with this second installment in the Adams Brothers series.
My only regret in this book is that we didn’t get enough of the back stories but that doesn’t take away to much from the book.

Stormy’s Thunder: Satan’s Devils MC Utah by Manda Mellett

My first thought was when are people going to realize you don’t mess with the Satan’s Devils?   I guess it just goes to show how stupid criminals are.

Stormy is a hot mess, but we learn why.  Some of his problems are his own fault,  but not all of them.   I hated Stormy in the previous Utah book but as I learned more about him and his past my feelings changed significantly.   Especially when he was with her.

I love how everyone is connected in this stories no matter how distant that connection is.  We have the other chapters popping up and people being connected to characters in previous stories or connection to one of the Devils.

I enjoyed this book as much, and maybe a bit more because of how complicated Stormy was.  I can’t wait to see who falls next.

A Sun So Bright (Reigning Hearts, Book Three) AUDIO BOOK by KG Fletcher – Review by Heather Lovelace

Five stars!!

Fletcher has proven herself to be a one click author with contemporary romance. But she has also proven herself to be an extremely captivating narrator as well. I have always connected with her written words and felt them to my core. Hearing the author bring her characters to life just added a depth to the whole story that was heartfelt and riveting. It’s a beautiful book, beautiful series, and beautiful performance.

Daddy’s Girl (Freshwater Book 3) by Belinda Williams was a wonderful quick romance. I love the attention to detail and the development. Em was my absolute favorite, I adore a feisty female lead. I did enjoy Joel as well and his back story was really well done. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who needs a good romance fix.

I enjoyed this romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading all of them. They are great stories where the characters bring the story to life. This one is no different than the others. They are connectable and made the story easy to read. This is a fast paced story that kept me turning pages to the end. This is a story about not expecting something after the first kiss. Who knew what that one kiss could turn into and Maelle and Sebastian are about to find out. I enjoyed their chemistry and the instant attraction with them. They are such great characters. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a new author for me, I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. This is a friend to lovers story that is engaging and full of romance. This is a well developed story that has characters that made the story pop. The author’s attention to details made the story realistic. They are connectable and really made the story fun and entertaining to read. This is a story of Ellie and Drew. Drew and Jason were just the boys next door but what will happen when Drew becomes more than just the boy next door to Ellie? What will happen when a public stunt turns bad and the past threatens to bring the past to the present? The chemistry and attraction between these two is just hot and they are so good together. I found myself hoping they would get their HEA in the end. This is a great romance story that I would highly recommend.

Daddy's Girl (Freshwater Book 3)Daddy’s Girl by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

‘Daddy’s Girl’ is an enjoyable and entertaining contemporary romance set in beachside Sydney. This is a lighthearted, fun romantic comedy with wonderful characters and I felt totally immersed in the storyline. Em Georgiou is not ready to settle down as she has her PhD to finish and a career to start. Joel Scott is completely focused on his architecture business to worry about relationships. Joel does not have high hopes when a client suggests he ‘gets to know’ his daughter, as he’s expecting a spoiled daddy’s girl. However as soon as Joel meets Em he is determined to convince her that he’s not just seeing her to impress her father. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it as it has some really funny, laugh out loud moments and then some more emotional moments. Although book three in a series it can be read as a standalone story, however I have also enjoyed the previous two books in the ‘Freshwater’ series. An easy and engaging read which I recommend if your looking for some escapism with a good book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Daddy’s Girl is a fun-loving romance story that will have you laughing and relating to the characters within the book. The plotline is simple but effective. Two people not looking for love realize that they need each other. The story goes at a good clip. I know I had to hold on because I was plowing through the story. This story is Joel and Em’s story. Em is a “daddy’s girl” who has a Ph.D. who is not ready to be with one man. Her daddy had other plans for her. Joel is focusing on his business to date anyone. Then there was his client who was trying to set up his daughter with Joel. Will this be a disaster in the making? Does Joel develop feelings for Em? Is Em ready for a single man relationship? I highly recommend this book to find out the answers to these questions and more.

Is This Me? (Being Me #1)Is This Me? by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Is This Me? by Tricia Copeland is the first book in the Being Me series. For me this book is all about the main character – Amanda – and the emotional journey that she goes through. I thought the author did a great job of portraying the turmoil that the character was going through, so much so that I was drawn into the story and really felt like I was taking the journey with her.
The overall story has a great pace to it. The author has clearly taken the time to develop the characters and give them the extra depth that makes them so enjoyable. She really knew how to engage my interest in the book which I think it why I read this so quickly. This a great, clean, coming of age story that I would certainly recommend you try today.

Road Tripped (Satan's Devils MC Utah #1)Road Tripped by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Road Tripped is not the first MC book by Mellett that I have had the pleasure of reading. This story has a good story line with an easy-to-read adventure. There are a couple of graphic scenes but since it is an MC story, it is kind of expected.

Road is from the mother chapter in Tucson but there is something going on in Utah. And it’s up to Road to figure it out, report back to Drummer, his prez, and then get on with his life. But what life does he have now that his sport of choice has been taken from him. And when he finds out Utah has more secrets than he can handle, what’s a biker to do? Even though I love Swift doesn’t mean that Road loves what Swift stands for. I love what Swift brings to the Utah Chapter and the Satan’s Devils overall, but can Swift prove that the Utah chapter is above board and not working illegally before Road reports to Drummer or dies trying?

This book is definitely worth the read. Bring on Book 2!

Daddy's Girl (Freshwater Book 3)Daddy’s Girl by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daddy’s girl is the awesome 3rd book in the Freshwater series by Belinda Williams. It’s a fantastic contemporary romance series set in the Freshwater area of Australia. It can be read as a standalone but I’d definitely recommend reading all three books in the series and if you read all three then it makes more sense to read them in the correct order to avoid spoilers. I’ve now read all 3 and I can safely say that I adore this series of books.
For as long as she can remember, Em Georgiou’s father has been trying to set her up will suitable, eligible young men all of whom she’s had absolutely no interest in. Even if she was interested, she’s going nowhere near someone recommended by her father. That is, until she meets Joel Scott who is trying to win a contract with her father. Neither of them are interested in relationships, their careers are the number one factor in their lives. That is, until they both can’t stop thinking of the other.
I absolutely loved this story and both Em and Joel are amazing characters that I just fell in love with. Well, I already adored Em from the previous 2 books. Joel expected a daddy’s girl, a spoiled brat but what he got in Em was totally the opposite: a beautiful, highly intelligent woman with similar interests and passions as his own.
This is a fun filled, romantic story that I’d call a page turner. I was to enthralled in Em and Joel’s story and did not want to put it down.
Would definitely recommend Daddy’s Girl.

Daddy's Girl (Freshwater Book 3)Daddy’s Girl by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daddy’s Girl is the third book in Belinda Williams’ Freshwater series. Like the previous books in the series, it has a gorgeous coastal Australian setting with a fiery romance between interesting characters.
The books in the series are connected by the protagonists (first Kat, then Jess, now Em) living in the same building. They’ve grown to be friends, which means I was eager to see Em get her own story, and grateful in this story for the chance to catch up with Kat, Jess and their partners.
Living in a penthouse owned by her father, Em seems at first sight a spoiled daddy’s girl. But she is uncomfortable to be relying on her father, and only does so because it enables her to focus on the PhD she hopes will let her make some positive changes in the world. Her father hopes she will get married and settle down, preferably soon, and is constantly setting her up with young bachelors.
Joel can be a bit annoying at times – he broods a lot over his dark past and is quite self-centred – but he’s clearly trying to do the right thing. I’m hoping there are more books in the series so we can see his character develop further after the drama of this book calms down.
For me, this is a five-star read. It’s an enjoyable, easy-to-read romance and a lovely location to escape to. It would work as a standalone but the whole series is great and worth reading in order to get to know the characters.

A Sun So Bright

By KG Fletcher

Another wonderful audio book from this author. As with the previous one in this series I really enjoyed listening to A Sun So Bright. The characters were great although it did take a little time for me to warm to Fiona I did eventually and the plot was definitely romantic. The narration was good again easy to listen to and it definitely seems to go faster than the 7 plus hours it is playing for. I like that I’m able to just relax and listen to a story this way.

Overall great story and a great audio book – I would definitely recommend!

At Once (Adams Brothers Book 2) by Mindy McKinley is another wonderful book that I’ve read in one day. I can feel and understand Gabi’s reluctance to start a relationship after a divorce but I can also feel how much she is attracted to Mason. The Gabi & Mason combo is wonderful to read about as they have imagination and creativity that pulls them together as they work for a common goal in their businesses. The supporting characters again add to the book and expand how those around Gabi & Mason support them in their lives. It was definitely nice to see Dom & Lula show up in the this book.

This is book three in the Freshwater series and they can all be read as a stand-alone but honestly, you wouldn’t want to miss anyone of them. This read gives you romance, fun and laugh out loud moments and most of all the ups and downs and feels that come along with this type of read, all in all, its all you can hope for from a Romance read! This read takes you on a journey full of pain, heartache, joy, happiness and much much more. I can’t wait to read more from this author and see where this series takes us next.

Coyote Summer by Laura Koerber
Genre – magical realism coming of age
Page Count – 231 pages
Cover Designer – Tamira Thayne
The summer of magic happened forty years ago when Ben was just seventeen, but he’s never forgotten.
It started with rape and ended with a promise. In between things happened that Ben still didn’t understand. A man turned into a coyote, a girl danced in the air, Ben broke the law, and he fell in love for the first time.
And, when the summer ended, he made a promise that he now needs to keep.
Coyote Summer, a magical realism novel on a coming-of-age theme is about the aftermath of a sexual assault, but from the perspective of a male witness.
“The gist of the story is as listed above. But this doesn’t even touch on the beauty of the prose Koerber has a way with words, that is for sure. The imagery is staggeringly beautiful. The author paints with words. You can see, smell, taste, and hear as the lines leap off the page. … The prose, therefore, adds a beauty that transcends the darkness and reveals the light where it falls: in nature, in making right choices, in the good in the world, in healthy relationships, in standing up for the weak and powerless. ” Janelle Garret, Booknest

At Last (Adams Brothers Book 1) by Mindy McKinley is a book that really hooked me in, it is so good I even shed some tears at one point while reading. Dom & Lula’s romance is exciting but also so real I could imagine it happening to me or my friends. They definitely has some adjusting and arguments as any couple would as they learn to trust each other and figure out hoe to be there for one another. The relationship’s progression felt pretty natural and real. The supporting characters made the book extra special, especially Lula’s grandmother. I read it within a day and I’m looking forward to learning more about Dom’s brothers in the next books in the series.

Five Stars

Stormy’s Thunder is the second book in the Satan’s Devils MC Utah series by Manda Mellett. I have read most of the Satan’s Devils MC books and I have to say, the Utah club is my favorite so far. I went into this book not particularly liking Stormy, but he really came into his own in this book. The twists and turns really had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The storyline is complex and the characters are well defined. Ms. Mellett gives me a real flavor of how I imagined a real motorcycle club works. Hard men and women all in for their club. I can’t wait to see what Ms. Mellett will have in store for us next.

I really enjoyed this book, more than I anticipated. It captured and held my attention through the entire thing.
The characters were relatable and the way Jae writes about this town makes me want to plan a trip to Washington!

All the quirks that Rose has cracked me up and made me love her that much more and learning of her one weakness made me giggle.

I didn’t want to like Liam, I tried really hard not to like him, too. It wasn’t easy and I wasn’t successful. His story hit a little close to home so I felt like I couldn’t dislike him even though I really wanted to.

AND NOW I want to have a Candlelit Dance under the tree, and I don’t even have a tree I could dance under!

When Gabi is finally out of the marriage she hated, can she make a new life for herself or will her world come crashing down around her.

Gabi is now flying high after her divorce and has started a new business venture with her best friend. While they are newly set up a job comes in for them to design and project manage the restoration of an old building but when she needs to find a carpenter that’s when her life becomes complicated.

Mason Adams can’t put a foot wrong, everything he touches turns to gold as it seems, but will this new job be the ending of all that especially with when he lays his eyes on Gabi he is done for.

This was a great story, with well developed characters and brilliant fast pace story. Although this part of a series, this book can be read as a stand alone story. I loved the ways the story flows through with the banter from Gabi and Mason which weaves through to the chemistry they have at the end of the story. I am a bit confused with ex-husband storyline, I understand that this may have caused some trust issues with in her confidence but to not try and explain this to Mason was left flat.

I recommend this book and this series and can’t wait to read the next book in this instalment and other books by this wonderful author.

This is the first book I’ve read by Dawson. It will not be my last. Hartwood makes me feel at home and I didn’t want to leave. I will be going back soon!

Bella is a high school drama and arts teacher. The new musical is coming up and Bella gets help from someone she thought she could do without. Can she get over her fear of falling for rock stars. The quote I chose for Bella is: “I wouldn’t kiss your a** if it were the last a** on earth.”

Cade is a famous artist. When he cimes home to bury someone he loves things go from eh to worse. Community service lets him stay to take care of someone. Will he fall for the teacher? The quote I chose for Cade is: “Yeah, I didn’t start a band to become famous. I did it because I loved music and I loved playing music with my friends. It pi**es me off that the best songs I write usually don’t make the A-side cut, while the vapid but catchy drivel I’m forced to write ends up at the top of the Billboard charts. And that it’s more important how I look, what my branding image is, than how I play. And that every person I meet wants a piece of me because my record label contract somehow makes me a demi-god of entertainment. It’s . . . exhausting.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

5 Stars

Love At First Haunt: A Ghostly Paranormal Romance is the first book in the Haunted Ever After series by Carrie Pulkinen. Something Ms. Pulkinen does incredibly well is her ability to deliver a fantastic story that I can get completely lost in- in a great way- and this book was no exception.
I was excited to get my hands on this book and when it arrived, I jumped right in. This paranormal romance has ghosts, empaths/psychics, wonderful supernatural elements, a little mystery, some danger, endearing characters, and plenty of sizzle.
Logan Mitchell may seem like he has the perfect life- voted Detroit’s Most Eligible Bachelor, he’s got the good looks and money, seemingly with the world at his feet. But it’s anything but perfect for him- he just feels cursed. With his sanity on the line, hope is fading fast. Until he meets Allison. With her unique talents, she may be the key to solving his problems. If you love paranormal romance with a little sizzle, then you won’t want to miss this book- it’s well worth the read to find out how everything plays out in the end.
The characters are quite quirky individuals who really made this story come alive. They were really interesting and very well developed. I loved Logan and Allison, and was cheering them on right from the start! There was definitely a lot more to them, and the story, than first meets the eye, that’s for sure!
As I have mentioned previously, I have developed a severe addiction to Ms. Pulkinen’s stories- it’s an addiction that I am more than happy to indulge- no rehab needed!
Bring on Book #2!!

Thank you, Carrie Pulkinen!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heartbeats and Roses is part of Jae Dawson’s A Heartwood Holiday Romance series. The books can be read independently, and can be enjoyed as such. This book is a cute happily ever after clean romance. The descriptive writing is a little over the top at times, but it works. It describes the characters and their personalities. Rose is a florist and is a hopeless romantic. She describes feelings based on flowers that represent them, quotes classic literature, and dreams of knights in shining armor and swooning. Her clothes are described as doilies and lace, often pink, and she is all about romance and flowers. Liam is a doctor and describes feelings based on the chemicals and biological cause of them. Despite the two being completely different, they were best friends their whole lives. Liam quickly left town in high school, and cut all contact with Rose. Fate seems to bring them back together, and a series of freak accidents force their time together. While the book was a bit cheesy, I loved it! Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Daddy’s Girl by Belinda Williams is book three of the Freshwater Series. This book can be read as a standalone.

Em is driven and smart. She’s got too much to accomplish before she even thinks about settling down. Her father on the other hand thinks the time is now. Her father is always on the look out for men to send Em’s way. Starting a family isn’t a dream Em’s had for herself. That is until she meets Joel. What is it about Joel that has her picturing a different future? Joel doesn’t have time for relationships. He’s got a business to focus on. As he’s trying to close a deal with Mr.Georgiou, he offers to set Joel up with zen to get to know her more. Joel needs to close this deal so he takes him up on the offer, not expecting what he gets when he meets Em. He realizes everything Em is and knows he wants more than a hook up with her but how does he convince her he isn’t doing this to impress her father? Will these two alter the plans they had for their futures to make room for each other.

This was a good read! It was enjoyable and I really enjoyed watching the characters evolve and change and realize that that’s okay to do to make room for new dreams while holding on to the old ones.

4 Stars

This was a super sweet story that falls at the perfect time of year. I previously read Moonlight and Belladonna which was set in Hartwood Hollow just as this one was. You can easily read each of these as standalones and each seems to follow the holiday theme.

I had a little trouble with this one as far as connecting with the two main characters. The actual storyline and the events during the story kinda took over for me. The family aspect as well was probably my favorite part of the whole story..Rose and Liam were awesome, and I loved each on their own, I just didn’t connect with the love story between the two, and I can’t explain why, I was more interested in Rose’s flower shop and her Valentines antics and her family, I couldn’t get enough of all of that. I love this small town and really will be looking forward to the next holiday in this series.

This is my 2nd book by this author, and I love many things about her writing and will absolutely be back for more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mandy Mellett just keeps bringing it every single time I pick up one her books! Each time she continues to captivate me with her incredible writing style, epic storyline and even better characters. You can guarantee when you pick up one of this authors books you will go along on an emotional journey, action-packed, fast-paced and epic from beginning to end! I promise you that once you pick up a read from this author you will be hooked forevermore with every single one of her reads! I highly recommend this read and this author.
