City Without A Sun (Vampire State Book 2) by Alexander Charalambides
4 Stars!!!!

I am the queen of reading books out of order. This is the second book in the series and I have to admit that I was missing a bit of context but that did not really interfere with my enjoyment of this book. The author has quite a refreshing idea and I like their take on vampires and humans. I found that there was just enough drama that I was glued to this book.

I really could get into Rowena’s character. I like how she is the underdog really and has an uphill battle to try and make things better for humans in a vampire led society. I like that she has a very reliable friend base. I like how the author brings the characters to life like they jump off of the pages. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moonlight and Belladonna is part of Jae Dawson’s Hartwood Falls Romance series. I haven’t read these before, but it was really good so I look forward to reading the others. There are little things she does in her writing that just makes the characters more realistic. For example, Bella’s preferred wardrobe being pinup Rockabilly style, tells us a lot about her personality. Always having Cade in band t-shirts. Calling his grandparents Gram and Gramps, instead of just Grandma and Grandpa. Its just the little things that make the characters more loveable. I love the relationship Cade has with his band mates and grandparents. I also loved that the building feelings between Bella and Cade were slow building through the whole story. The sarcastic comments they make to each other, building a friendship before a relationship. All these things, and more, is what drew me into the story. I didn’t want to put it down. Great writing style, love it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this romance story. It is a well written story that has characters that are easily connectable and made the story realistic. I was pulled into this story right from the first page. It is a fast paced, engaging, entertaining story that was hard to put down. This is a story about family mystery that maybe better left in the past. Lula is a teacher that has always wanted to find her father. As her grandmother falls ill, will she lose the last chance she has at family and finding the one thing she wants? Dominic is also a teacher at the same high school who can have anyone he wants. Will once chance meeting change things for both of them? As Lula’s family mysteries are revealed will they hurt her chances with Dominic? What will fate have in store for these two? They made such great characters. They made the story easy to read and I enjoyed the chemistry between them. I highly recommend reading this book and find out what happens between them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow where to start with this story. It is full of romance, but also heartache and sadness. I loved this book. The characters are so well written that you can’t help but feel every emotion they are going through.

Lula has had a rough life. With her mum passing the only person left in her life is her nanna. With caring for her nanna and her job as a school teacher she doesn’t have time for romance and especially not with a guy like Dom Adams.

Dom Adams is also a teacher at the school where Lula works. He is the most handsome man ever and has woman falling all over him. However, he also has a reputation for breaking hearts and not wanting more that a weekend thing.
When Dom sees the woman behind the teacher he is amazed and drawn to her. He wants her and will stop at nothing to get her.

Will Lula give in to his charming ways? Will she end up getting her heartbroken by being another one of Dom’s weekend girls? Or will the connection they have be enough for him to change and commit?

I loved reading the book Unwrapped by Evelyn Sola. It is a story that had me hooked from the very beginning. It is a romance book that is steamy, romantic, and will have you not wanting to put it down until the final page. He is handsome, charming, and her mother’s boss. She is strong, intelligent, independent, and feisty. There is an attraction between them that can’t be denied. What does their future hold? This story has amazing characters that the author makes come alive. There are moments that I was laughing and others that had the temperature in the room rising. I loved reading the bantering that goes back and forth between the two main characters. I grew to care about the two main characters with each chapter that I read. There are also other characters introduced that are wonderful to read about as well. Don’t miss out on a book that is exciting and entertaining to read. I highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Opposite of Addie is a well thought out novel about friendship and secrets. I could feel the love the author put into the story. She really made the story come to life with her storytelling and character building. This story had me on an emotional ride because of the characters. I felt like I personally knew them and could feel exactly what Addie was going through. In this story, Addie has been through some rough heartaches. She finds herself as a single mom. She left Jake, the father and never told him that he was a father. This was a big secret to keep from him. Jake finds Addie and his daughter and he is bound to be with Addie to help raise his daughter. There was a secret Jake was holding on too as well. What will Addie do? Does she want to share her daughter? Does she want a second chance with Jake? What will Jake do? Will he fight for Addie? Will he be a father to the daughter he did not realize he had? I highly recommend reading this book to find out how this sweet novel turns out.

What could be better than a Halloween Love Story? A Halloween story between a play director and a rock musician. The storytelling is amazing. The details of the story painted a picture perfect scene in my mind’s eye. The characters are fully developed and have chemistry between them like no other I have read resenting. Belladonna, the high school teacher that puts her career on the line for a musical, finds herself directing for her job. Cade has many skeletons in the closet in this small town. Will he be able to fight them off? WIth both of their careers hanging in the balance, can these two get together to help keep their careers? Will there be a budding romance between them? I enjoyed this relationship from the beginning until the end. I like to think I grew with them as I felt I was a part of their story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a book about second chances and trust. All of us are heartbroken at one point of time or another and it takes years to rebuild the faith and trust in one’s life. Addie has a troubled childhood and she was forced from her childhood home by her mother. Later, when she is an adult, Addie is still confused and insecure. She leaves her boyfriend and decides to raise her daughter on her own.
When Jake runs into her 12 years later, Addie still does not trust him and runs away again. This time Jake follows her as he is determined to have his daughter back in his life.
This story is more about relationships than romance. There are many places where emotions run deep and the characters are confused and messed up. It is about embracing life with all it’s faults and give a second chance to yourself and to those who matter to you.

A deep read, but an enjoyable one!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Merry Texan Christmas (Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge, #3) by Nicole Flockton was a fun 5 star read and once I started I couldn’t put it down.

Trey has retired from baseball and moved back to town. He has bought a bookstore and to get attention he decorates the storefront for Christmas. In doing this he has caused some hard feelings from Maggie.

Maggie is the school librarian and she loves Christmas. Her biggest joy is decorating all the store fronts. On her way to work she gets a shocker when she sees a crowd in front of the bookstore. She discovers that her high school crush Trey is back in town and is now her biggest competition for storefront decorating.

Trey is immediately drawn to Maggie, they both have the same love for Christmas and they have a connection. Maggie brushes the connection off thinking it’s nothing but her crush showing. As they spend more time together she starts to see more in Trey.

Can they have more together? Will Trey reconnect with his family?

Overall this was a great read. There were several things going on in Trey’s life along with pursuing Maggie. Their connection was great and you could feel the connection coming off the pages. I had some LOL moments and really enjoyed Maggie and her little dog. If you’re looking for a fun holiday romance 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Oh my goodness this book was worth every second of lost sleep.  I loved Josie! She made my heart happy and would make me smile almost every time she was involved.

Addie and Jake have gone through so much since the last time they saw each other and both have a lot to make up for.

This book is about second chances and how to clean up the messes left by secrets.

A Merry Texan Christmas was an absolutely adorable read! It follows Trey Prentice, the oldest Prentice brother, on his journey to a new chapter in his life after retiring from professional baseball.

Maggie Watson is the school librarian and all around Christmas lover. Known as Miss Christmas during December, she is ready this year to make her window dressing business the most successful it has been. That is, until Trey Prentice might ruin it all.

Trey Prentice has a secret that no one really knows. After living in New York so long playing baseball he has developed a huge love for Christmas. He never thought decorating his new shop window would chsnge his life forever though!

I absolutely love Trey and Maggie! Maggie has something to prove to herself and Trey as a family to reconnect with. Can they do their own things together? I absolutely adore Sweet Ridge, Texas! I hope there is more from this lovely Texas small town someday!

A Merry Texan Christmas by Nicole Flockton is the third book in the Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge series. This book can be read as a stand-alone as does not need to be read in order.
This is such a fun Christmas romance I absolutely loved it! It matched the perfect level of lightheartedness with an amazing story. While it never seemed to take itself too seriously the story line was just a well developed and interesting.
I don’t usually like too many holiday romances as I find them a bit too cliche this one was entertaining and just great from start to finish. The characters worked so well together and made the book amusing. This is a great book to add to the series and probably me favourite so far.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Merry Texan Christmas is the 3rd book in the Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge series by Nicole Flockton. Each book focuses on a different brother and contains a full story, therefore each book in the series can be read as a standalone. I have read several of Nicole Flockton’s book so far, including the 2nd book in this series and I’ve always enjoyed them. This book carried on the tradition as I thoroughly enjoyed this book too.
As the title suggests there is a Christmas theme to this book and it plays a very large part in the storyline, particularly as the heroine of the story Maggie is called Miss Christmas by the residents of Sweet Ridge. When baseball star Trey Prentice retires and moves home to Sweet Ridge is he about to steal her title from her and become Mr Christmas?
I loved the characters of Maggie and Trey. Maggie is super sweet and adores her role as Miss Christmas. Trey is also a super sweet character. His little gestures of hot chocolate and donuts for Maggie shows a more vulnerable side to his character. Added to the adorable characters is Chester, Maggie’s adorable pup who she dresses in matching Christmas outfits to match her own.
This book is a great read and as it’s not a very long book I managed to devour it in a few hours. I would definitely recommend this book.

This was a really enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance with added Christmas spirit which put me in the festive mood. I have enjoyed the two previous books in ‘The Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge’ series and I also loved this one. As usual the author brings us great characters in,Trey and Maggie. Former baseball star Trey Prentice is happy with his new life as a bookstore owner in his hometown of Sweet Ridge, Texas. Although he loved his competitive and elite lifestyle in New York he is enjoying a more quiet life and being able to spend time with his family and friends. In the lead up to Christmas Trey excitedly decorates the bookstore and joins in with the town’s holiday traditions but soon finds himself doing battle with Sweet Ridge’s own Miss Christmas. Miss Christmas is actually Christmas loving librarian Maggie Watson who each year decorates the shop windows and spreads Christmas cheer around the town. Maggie is unimpressed when she discovers she has competition in cocky Trey and is determined not to let him take away her Christmas crown. However, when the couples verbal sparring turns into flirting Maggie wonders if there’s more to life than books and Christmas but her past insecurities threaten to get in the way of her happiness. This is a wonderfully heartwarming romance between two very likeable and relatable characters and I was cheering them on hoping they would get their happy ending. The storyline is full of romance and Christmas vibes and the narrative flows well making this a lighthearted and easy read. A great book to get anyone into the Christmas spirit!

While it seems on the surface that it’s just about like every book I’ve read before, it’s not at all once you start reading. There is so much life to the story, and heart and humor, it’s difficult to put this book down once you pick it up. I laughed and cried while reading this novel. I highly recommend this one!

The Opposite of Addie is part of the Secrets in the Springs series by Julie C Gardner. It is a full story, and I am not sure if the other books overlap or are the same story. This is the first I have read in this series, but I would read more, and I don’t feel like I was missing any backstory. I was really worried at first about all the perspectives getting confusing, but it was well written and smooth transitions. We see the story from the point of view of Addie, Jake, Josie and Alex. While weird at first, I actually really liked it. We get to see the feelings and thoughts of everyone in the story and it gives a rounded view, and relate more. It makes the story more relatable. She captures the thoughts and language of a child as well as adults. The feelings were very realistic and gave us a better understanding to the why people did what they did. I look forward to reading the other stories in the series.

Such a perfect book to read at this time of year to enter me into the Christmas season and boost my Christmas spirits. I quickly became lost in the story, and couldn’t wait to see what would happen at each turn. Trey and Maggie’s chemistry is awesome! It is really sweet that Maggie “used” to have a crush on him, but we all know she never lost that crush. The love she has for Christmas is everything I wish I was. Their little rivalry is cute and had me smiling. Trey seems like the perfect man to me, he is retired from baseball and now runs a book store and it doesn’t hurt that of course he is good looking. The fact that he can decorate a window for Christmas doesn’t hurt either. Watching these two grow in their relationship and in general is sweet and fun to watch. I really enjoyed this series, and I’m sad it has ended. Are you sure there are no other secret brothers we can add in?

A Merry Texan Christmas is book 3 in the Prentice Brothers series by Nicole Flockton. I am yet to read the other books in this series (although I will definitely put them on my ‘to read’ list now), but this book can be enjoyed as a standalone read.
Maggie Watson is a librarian in a little town in Texas, the type of place where everyone knows your business and your neighbours are your friends. I always love books that have that small town feel, full of characters not just people.
Trey Prentice is a former baseball star who is now back in his hometown and running the local bookstore. He bonds with Maggie over their enjoyment of Christmas lights and decorations, and when the mayor calls upon ‘Mr and Mrs Christmas’ to join forces they soon become more than friends.
This is a lovely Christmas read, and the perfect way to spend your afternoon if you’re looking for a feel good read. The characters are a joy to read, and really bring the story to life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a beautiful love story which has so many characters and so many twists and secrets its more than a love story. The characters are beautifully written and the story is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

Addie is a single mum to her daughter Josie. After her dad left her and her mum it means her trust in men is destroyed. So when she finds her daughters dad with another woman she leaves.
