My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kickflip Summer by Danielle Jacks a five-star read that will bring sunshine to your life. I didn’t realise this was a debut novel until I sat down to write this review and I am so impressed, normally a debut shows the lack of writing experience usually with how they build the characters, but honestly this didn’t lack at all. Bear and Kara are just adorable and when you add some great secondary characters who bring something special to the story it sparkles with life. This was a great story and I know many will love it, I had my last summer many years ago, but this brought me back to that amazing time, new love and having your heart flutter and break in ways you cant imagine. If anyone needs a break from the harsh realities of life, needs a little brightness and joy in their lives then pick this story up as all of the characters will bring a ray of sunshine to you.

Self Made (Freshwater Book 2)Self Made by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boy oh Boy do I love this book! It has just the right amount of humor, fun and craziness. I like that the author tackled a couple issues in here. One being that the fit, sexy full of muscles (Abs—I’m talking about you!) character is a woman and the flabby, lazy junk food eating character is a man. This puts a different spin on things. Second the Ant is a comedian who struggles to turn off the funny comments because everyone expects him to be funny/witty. He needs to make them laugh. Both of these characters were fun and I liked watching them change. That is not saying I didn’t want to SMACK Ant upside the head a time or two.

I enjoyed getting to know Ant’s family as well as Jessica’s much larger one. While dinner at Jessica’s family was off the charts bad (Poppy??) anytime spent at Ant’s was amazingly good.

Overall is a fun story that is light hearted but not at times. I read it fairly quickly because I didn’t want to put it down. The author did a good job and I look forward to the next.

I love this author’s writing style and love this second book in the series. Williams always provides a beautiful backdrop for her characters and develops her characters in a way that as a reader I immediately connect with them. I love the push and pull between the male and female lead. I really appreciated the “sort of” take on a ugly duckling story. It’s a classic theme and translated beautifully in the romcom. Loved it!

Secure Heart (Chase Security Series Book 3)Secure Heart by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is another action packed story. I enjoyed it. Julian really impressed me in this one. I didn’t realize he is such a force of nature to be reckoned with. He see a problem and he fixes it. Once he sees Sadie and Holly multiple times he realizes fate is stepping in. Holly hasn’t had a great life but she sure turned herself around. I actually ended up liking Her and of course Sadie is the cutest!

I also didn’t realize that Julius had such a large family (They could have their own series). All of his brothers are wonderful and I love how they have each other’s back.

This is the third book in the series. This one is my favorite so far. The story moves along at lightening speed and is filled the drama and suspense.

Self Made by Belinda Williams

As Belinda Williams is apt to say in her books “Far Out!”. And let me tell you Self Made fits this phrase. As the second book in Ms. Williams’ Freshwater series, this book just keeps on with the goodness. Although this title can be read as a stand-alone, I would highly suggest you pick up book one. And then go back and just get EVERYTHING written by Ms. Williams. Trust me. You won’t regret doing this.

Okay…so this is a story about a funny guy and your average girl who meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after. THE. END. Well kinda…I mean it’s a romance, right? But Ms. Williams encompasses SO MUCH MORE in this book. It’s about self-reflection and discovery. It’s about family and expectations. It’s about friendship and laughter. All wrapped up in love and humor.

Seriously, as a reader, when an author incorporates everyday struggles and problems in a book, I tend to be wary as I don’t want to be preached to about these things. I just want to be able to escape into the book. But Ms. Williams does a magnificent job of combining these things with humor and connection to the characters, that you learn and grow just as the characters do. All of this, combined with the witty repartee between not only the main characters but the sub-characters as well and a stunning location, make this book a winner.

After reading Book 1 in this series, and thoroughly enjoying it, I’m so glad that we got Jessica and Ant’s story, these two intrigued me previously and couldn’t wait to find out more! This book was captivating and utterly brilliant from the get-go. These are well-developed characters with an amazing storyline that I couldn’t help but love following along with it. I absolutely loved Jessica’s and Ant chemistry and watching their relationship grow. This book while being a sweet romance read, it still gave you all the feels, which I think makes it that much better! I loved this read and I can’t wait for more! I highly recommend this read, this series and more importantly this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars!
An amazing set of books. From he first book I was hooked on the story and the concept of an adult theme park. Each book of this series I picked up pulled me in right away and left me begging for more. I love that you would think the story should be over and what left is there, but then here comes another book, with a new set of characters with a new bunch of drama and romance and a whole lot more fun at the park. The box set includes Sugar & Spice, Virtue & Vice, Fire & Ice and Naughty & Nice. The names of the books alone captured me, each book will always have the two people that started it all, Cyrus and Jolie, it is nice to see their story still unfold through each book. I highly recommend this series, it is steamy, has drama, fun, I think I’m the point where Phoebe Alexander should just go ahead and start the first adult theme park and make this a reality!

Self Made (Freshwater Book 2) by Belinda Williams is a fun and quirky romance. We met Jess and Ant in the first book and now we have their story. There is depth to the characters, and each has their own profession that make them so different. One a health and fitness guru and the other a comedian. It is a story of opposites attract and the fun begins as Jess tries to remake the man. The story is steamy and an easy and an enjoyable afternoon read.

Secure Heart (Chase Security Series Book 3) by R.L. Dunn was a great 5 star read.
Once I started I didn’t want to put it down. I was excited to read Julian’s story.

Holly is a singer and songwriter trying to make ends meet for her and her son. When something scary happens to her she decides to hire Chase Security which is where she meets Julian. The more time they spend together feelings start to develop.

Julian has started with Chase Security and is trying to move forward from his past. He gets a job watching over a single mom and her daughter. He’s also working on a serial killer case. Will he be able to help them and find the serial killer?

Overall this was a great read. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what was coming next. We get action, love, suspense and so much more. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love The Chase Security Series. Secure Heart is Book 3 in the series. All of the books are great and detailed. The author did a great job giving the readers what they like.
Julian and Holly are both great characters. There’s other characters in the book from previous books but this one focuses on these main characters. My favorite is Sadie though. Holly is an up and coming singer who ends up needing a great security team to help keep herself and her daughter Sadie safe. Who else is there aside from the Chase team! They are the best. Julian and Holly begin to get close but, both have a terrible past. Will they be able to let each other in or will they just end up with a professional relationship? When Holly and Julian both have people after them, what can they do? Is it the same person? Will they be able to get through these attacks in one piece? There’s a lot of action in this book and some suspense. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this book. I would also recommend reading the others in the series. You will not be disappointed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Heart is the third book in R.L. Dunn’s Chase Security Series and I was absolutely delighted to discover that it was about Julian that I got so intrigued by in the previous book! He is the embodiment of his call name “Smooth” and I can only imagine the pressure that comes with that and I absolutely admired how he carried it. I was also delighted to get to San Diego branch of Chase Security (the one missing now is the New York branch and I hope that we will get there soon with Tighe and Lissa!) and meeting the crew there!
In the center of the story is Holly D and her four-year-old daughter Sadie and when two broken people meet and the stars align, magic happens … the pain that Holly carries, the pain that Julia carries, the maturity that the four year old Sadie expresses … it has been a while since I cried as much as I did when reading Secure Heart …
The human depravity is something that the writer excels at writing about, the feeling of reality that it evokes and the pain we feel when we read the stories … I bow my head to her talent and I hope that she will keep the stories coming our way!

Secure Heart (Chase Security Series Book 3)Secure Heart by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel which although book three in the ‘Chase Security Series’ can be read as a standalone story. However some of the characters do crossover as the series is about the Chase brothers and their team. Having read the previous books I was looking forward to this one and was not disappointed. ‘Secure Heart’, is Julian and Holly’s story, and former Navy SEAL and widower Julian “Smooth” Dupart is the new head of the Chase Group in San Diego and is “breaking up” with his bottle of bourbon. Indie performing artist Holly Dupree Morrison had an abusive childhood followed by abusive relationships. Sadly her four year old daughter Sadie who has a compromised heart needs surgery after taking bad medication from the Chase Group Health Center. Meanwhile, Julian has discovered that his company had been distributing substandard and counterfeit medication. Holly is forced to hire Chase Security when a stalker nearly kills her and a remorseful Julian vows to protect her and Sadie.

Cheerful and sassy Sadie steals Julians heart and so does her Mum but he worries that he can’t face loosing Sadie to the same illness that his wife died from. Holly is concerned about trusting her heart to Julian despite their shared chemistry and mutual attraction. It’s not just Holly who finds herself in danger as someone seems out to get Julian and Chase Security as well. In the background San Diego has a serial kidnapper on the loose who tortures women and abducts their children. Julian and his colleagues have to discover how the threats to Holly and the threats to the company are connected to the kidnapper and work out how to stop them before anymore women and children are taken.

This was an eventful novel which was full of drama, suspense and of course romance. The storyline had me hooked from start to finish and the plot kept me gripped wanting to find out how it was all going to end. I loved the main characters, Julian, Holly and Sadie and how the relationships developed between all three of them. The chemistry between Julian and Holly really came across and I liked how their tentative romance developed throughout the story. An enjoyable and engaging book which I recommend.

Secure Heart (Chase Security Series Book 3)Secure Heart by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Chase Security Series and its just as gripping as the first 2. The love story is really touching and emotional that you cant help but love the characters. Along with that story there is also the mystery, mayhem and terror which surrounds Chase Security and the people they protect.

In this story we follow Julian. We found out a little about him in previous books but in this book we learn all about him. I like Julian’s character. He is smart, amazingly good at his job and has a heart of gold.

After being transferred to the San Diego part of Chase Security he realised that things in that part of the business aren’t what they seem and what he unravels will shock and amaze.

As well as this element there is also a romance and this happens with Holly. Holly has had a troubled past but is now making a life for herself and her daughter. With a manager trying to get his claws into her and a crazy fan threatening her safety she hires Chase Security and more importantly Julian to protect her.

Can Julian save her from the dangers around her? Is he able to open his heart and learn to love again? Will Holly see him for the man he is or will she think he is just like all the other men in her life?

I really enjoyed this book; I have previously read work by this author but not from this series. I really liked Ms Williams writing style, it was easy to read and the characters were really likeable and I could easily relate to them. I like Jessica and Ant, they were connectable characters and I really enjoyed reading about them. Jessica was a smart lady, she knew what she wanted and she worked really hard to achieve it. Ant was hilarious! He made me laugh out loud so many times! He was a great character! I loved the setting for the story; it felt serene at times when the author was describing everything.
I would definitely recommend Self Made! It was a great 5 star read!

This series just gets better and better. I really appreciate the emotional connection that Dunn establishes immediately. As the reader I immediately was invested in the characters and storyline. I love the way Dunn develops the story with a very natural and compelling ebb and flow. Just the right amount of suspense, drama, and romance. Although it can be read as a stand-alone I would absolutely recommend this be read with the other books of the series. They are just so good you will want to read them all.

She has not had a great track record with good men. Holly goes to Chase to hire them because of a stalker. Will Julian be able to help her?

by Tamara Ferguson (Author), Natalie Ann (Author), Suzanne Jenkins (Author), Cynthia Cooke (Author), Alicia Street (Author), Jen Talty (Author), Angela Stevens (Author), Patrice Wilton (Author)

Another amazing anthology from some pretty amazing authors  and worth every minute spent reading.

I’m only going to highlight the first book in the anthology which is Two Hearts Truce by Tamara Ferguson.

I fell in love with Jeff the moment he was in a non-combat setting in the previous book.   There was something very charming  about him, well the charm didn’t go away.  He is as charming if not more so once you really get to know him.  He is just an amazing guy who deserves to be happy.

Amanda is a lot to deal with at first, she’s not pleasant or all that likable.   Then you peal back a little bit and start to see a bit of the real her and learn her secrets and her personality makes sense.

You get laughs, love and suspense all in this first book.  Enjoyed every moment of it.

I am actually new to this Anthology, if the rest of the books are anything like this one, I’m sure I will love them all. I had no problem following the story and figuring out how the characters were connected. This is one of the best romances I’ve read recently. Jeff & Amanda dated back in high school. Like many young loves, they didn’t last. They continue to be in each other’s lives but don’t realize that each one was still attracted to the other. Will they make it past the reason they broke up?

Secure Heart by R.L. Dunn is the third book in the Chase Security Series. This can be read as a standalone book, but I’ve enjoyed reading in order to see how the different characters develop. Each book focuses on a different member of the Chase Security team and someone who has captured their eye. This book focuses on Julian Dupart, the new head of the San Diego branch and Holly Dupree Morrison. These stories have thrills, mystery, romance, and more to them. I have enjoyed how the series draws the attention to a different couple each story, while you still get to see the ones from past books. I really enjoyed the character of Holly and how she will fight for her daughter no matter the danger. I look forward to reading more in this series and from this author in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When you are asked to help a friend to manage one of there facilities, will his broken heart ever be mended when a woman and her daughter need his help.

Julian is suffering from a broken heart, widowed for a few years he has not really seemed his self since. After starting his job at San Diego office of Chase Security will this be able to try and forget the past, but when he is asked to protect a woman and her young daughter, plus having to deal with a serial killer within his patch, will he be able to manage both of his assignments.

Holly is a single mother trying to survive in the world, with her songwriting and singing she is getting by, until one night an attempt on her life shakes her and enroles the help of Chase Security and in walks Julian. As they work closely together she starts to see that there can be light in his broken heart but will she be able to crack through before its too late.

I love this series, each book offers a great insight into the worlds RL Dunn creates. Julian and Holly’s characters are brilliant together and the chemistry pluses off the page and just draws you into the story where I could not stop reading. I do have to say I think these two are my favourite of the duo’s I have read and the tension and action is just enough not to be too unrealistic.

Each story can be read as a standalone but some characters do arc into each story and who would not want to read more of this wonderful stories. I can’t wait to read the next installment to this story soon.

This is a full length novel. Packed with romance, suspense and a lot of medical help. No Spoilers for you!

Julian (Smooth) Dupart has returned to San Diego to rebuild the Chase Security building. What he stepped into was not what he expected. Holly is a single mother of a 4 year old princess.

Two Heart’s Truce by Tamara Ferguson

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it won’t be my last. Ferguson has a way of bringing her worlds to you. This is a fantastic read.

Amanda, the little sister to Jeremy, is now living with her brother. When the past comes to the wedding she doesn’t know what to think or who to trust. The quote I chose for Amanda is: “Yes. Let’s start over.”

Jeff, Air Force Sergeant, finds that he’s never gotten over Amanda. At his friend’s wedding he finds that the feelings are mutual. The quote I chose for Jeff is: “So, I have permission to spend the night, since Jeremy and Christine offered to take me to the airport in the morning. The flight takes off at seven. I’m leaving the rental here for you to use until my truck arrives for you. One of my buddies has offered to drive it here with a load of my stuff next week. I’ll probably pack most of it up tomorrow afternoon when I arrive since I had to take such an early flight.”

Highly recommended for romance lovers.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This collection of great love stories. The stories are more than romance. They are full of mystery, suspense, comedy, and love of course. I have found some new authors to read, and some of my favorite ones. Tamara Ferguson is one of my favorite authors. She fills her pages with a little bit of everything. Her characters fly off the pages full of zeal and love. In Two Hearts Truce is a love story that has broken hearts learning to love again. Can you find love after having your heartbroken by the person who is trying to gain your love again?

Irresistible – Fall into Romance (Irresistible Romance Book 5) is an amazing anthology that brings together some very talented authors. Most of them have been joining forces in other different anthologies so the only one I had not met before was Angela Stevens. It is always great getting a chance to meet someone new and that is one of the reasons why I love Anthologies. There are so many writers I have discovered through them!

The fearless eight of this anthology are my absolute favorite Tamara Ferguson (I think I have read everything she has written) and ten Natalie Ann, Suzanne Jenkins, Cynthia Cooke, Alicia Street, Jen Talty, Patrice Wilton and the newbie (for me) Angela Stevens. They have put together a collection that keeps the heart beating on the true love … You start reading the story and close your eyes and it start playing in front of your eyes like a movie, like a Hallmark move …

I will share my thoughts about my favorite one which was Tamara Ferguson’s Two Hearts’ Truce. It is another instalment in her Two Hearts Wounded Warriors Romance series and that fits perfectly into her Crystal Rock Universe. It brings together, again, after so many years, Jeff and Amanda and hopefully now they are ready … Their story fits also into the craziness of what we have read in her other stories in the series AND we meet some of them again. I love it, it feels like visiting home and meeting up with people you have not seen or heard of for a while.

I have always loved the care that Tamara takes when telling the heart breaking stories of her heroes and heroines … there is this feeling deep inside when I pick up her book, the anticipation … the apprehension … the hope …

Having read previous Anthologies in the ‘Irresistible Romance’ series I was looking forward to reading this latest edition, ‘Fall Into Romance’ and I was not disappointed. This is another great anthology containing eight full standalone stories by eight fantastic authors, some of which I was already a fan of like Tamara Ferguson and others I am happy to have now discovered. My favourite was the first story in the book by a favourite author of mine, Tamara Ferguson called, ‘TWO HEARTS’ TRUCE’. When Air Force Sergeant Jeff Frisco reappears in Amanda Northrup’s life after six years apart he is determined to win her back. However Amanda has devastating secrets which are preventing her from moving on and she does not know if she can trust Jeff despite having put her life on hold for the past six years and been lonely and missing him. As usual I fell in love with Ferguson’s main characters, as Amanda and Jeff were both likeable and relatable and I was cheering them on hoping they would get their happy ending together. A great storyline and plenty of drama in the plot had me hooked from start to finish. Another wonderfully written heartwarming romance by Ferguson and a great start to the anthology.
‘FALLING INTO LOVE’, introduced Ryan Butler who did not have love on his radar and Shannon Wilder who had once been in love and sadly lost her husband. Having moved to Paradise Place with her children to runaway from a stalker she unexpectedly finds love again, is it with Ryan? No Spoilers! ‘BAYOU COTTAGE’ by Suzanne Jenkins, is a second chance at love romance. Maggie Angel’s runs away to Bayou Cottage in the swamp at Cypress Cove following having her heart broken and meets childhood friend and now local vet and wild horse advocate Justin Chastain. I loved these two characters and their journey to romance as for Justin the chemistry was instant but for Maggie who is recovering from a failed marriage she’s a little less keen to admit her feelings for Justin. A good storyline and great characters made this an enjoyable read in the anthology.
‘THE LIES BETWEEN US’ by Cynthia Cooke, had drama, suspense and of course romance when heroine Cat has to save her undercover FBI Agent husband Tom from a drug lord. This was a gripping read and I literally read it all in one sitting as I needed to know how it would end. Alicia Street’s ‘IGNITE MY HEART’ was a heartwarming story about a Nanny, Blake who is unable to have children of her own but falls in love with both her charge, an adorable little girl and her Daddy Morgan.
In ‘WHISKEY SOUR’ by Jen Talty, Boone Wilder realises that if he wants to get the woman that he loves, Paget Sour, then he will have to make a few changes of his own. Boone also realises that he will have come clean about a very big lie. However Paget is more worried about looking after her ill father and paying the bills than going on a date with the bartender at her local, even if he does make a great whiskey sour. ‘CUT AND RUN’ by Angela Stevens, was another story that had me gripped from start to finish as along with the romance the plot had plenty of drama and suspense. Molly Sullivan is forced to accept sexy but cocky Jake Massey’s help when her brothers dishonesty means she had to escape from a gang leader who is now after her. This had a hard to love hero and a feisty heroine and I enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed whilst they were in danger.
The last story in this enjoyable anthology is, ‘REPLACING BARNIE’ by Patrice Wilton. Career driven divorce attorney Lydia O’Reilley, discovers that her one night stand is actually her new clients soon to be ex husband. Unfortunately her one night with a handsome stranger, Jed, has also led to a unexpected pregnancy. I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology, it literally took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading all the completely different stories but which all had romance at the heart of their storylines. I look forward to the next anthology in the ‘Irresistible Romance’ series.
