Daring Ceri (True Platinum Rock Star Romance Series Book 6) by Morgana Bevan – Review by Deirdre Lawson

Daring Ceri (True Platinum #6)Daring Ceri by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Daring Ceri is the sixth book in the True Platinum Rockstar Romance Series by Morgana Bevan.

Don’t dare Ceri to do something, because she might just take you up on it. That’s how she ended up traveling across the US and Canada on tour with The Brightside. Join Ceri and Alex, the rock star husband she didn’t know she had, as they play and dance night after night in packed stadiums, in this forced proximity, enemies to lovers romance. Daring Ceri is a story of second chances, bitterness to love, loss and regret, mistakes and growth, redemption, and ultimately, forgiveness and healing. It is a tale of childhood sweethearts who got caught up in a life beyond their control, which takes place against the backdrop of the world of rock ‘n’ roll.

Even for a middle-aged woman, this is a thoroughly enjoyable read. The book is chock-full of timeless, thematic material that tugs at the heartstrings. It also has a way of taking one back to one’s youth, especially if they grew up in any kind of music scene, or dreamt of escaping to one. It leaves the reader smiling.

Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series #3)Beyond Friendship by Marlyn Love
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the series but I feel like you would be able to read this series out of order. If you accidentally stumbled upon this book and read it, you wouldn’t be lost and would find that this is an amazing story. The characters are written beautifully that you will feel like they are your besties. There are times that you just want to face-palm yourself because you are the invested in what you’re reading. You will love all the angst that this story brings. The steam is really well written that it just flows off the pages. I found myself turning the pages as fast as I could because I needed to know if the characters will overcome what they are facing and how it will end for them. This is a book you don’t want to miss and I would suggest reading the entire series because you can’t go wrong with reading books that are really well written.

Morgan is looking for a good live in nanny for his daughter Ciara. Well his best friend so happens to have a little sister Blake who seems to be the perfect fit. Morgan is very protective of his daughter, as her mother is an actress and really doesn’t want anything to do with Ciara. That is until she gets married and decides she wants to try and be mother of the year. Morgan already has full custody and refuses any visits that aren’t supervised. Blake wasn’t planning on falling in love with anyone or have children, until she meets Ciara, and Morgan.<br />It’s a slow romance but oh so good. It will give you many laughs, and smiles until your cheeks hurt. What a beautiful story!

I loved this story. These two were heart wrenching yet beautiful. I did have to get tissue for the tears. The story was done so beautiful. I don’t do the romances with medical emergencies often just because of this but this is the best one I’ve read yet. I support characters were absolutely wonderful. They were written in to the story so well. The story has a little of everything in it. I highly recommend it.

Chasing Cheer (Emerald Hollow Book 1) by Heather Schneider – Review by Nicole Thompson

“Chasing Cheer” by Heather Schneider is an enchanting five-star holiday tale that captures the essence of the season. From its quirky dedication, “To everyone who starts listening to Christmas music before it’s socially acceptable,” to its heartwarming themes, this book is a perfect read as the Christmas spirit starts to twinkle. Holly Claus embarks on a journey that takes her to Emerald Falls, Oregon, and her encounter with inn owner Ash steals the show. The chemistry between Holly and Ash is palpable, making this book an uplifting and joyful read. 

A delightful escape into the magic of Christmas and love, making “Chasing Cheer” a must-read for anyone who adores the holiday season. Schneider’s storytelling is like a cozy, warm blanket on a cold winter’s night, and I eagerly await the possibility of more adventures with Holly and Ash in the future.

Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series #3)Beyond Friendship by Marlyn Love
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beyond Friendship is a beautiful yet heart-wrenching contemporary romance best friend’s little sister tale. Make sure to have tissues on hand because you will need them. This is my first time delving into this authors work and I was pleasantly surprised.
Unfortunately, I discovered after I had finished this book that it is the third book in the Irresistible series, but I did not feel like I was missing out on anything. But I am going back to read the first two.
This is Brian and Amanda’s love story!
Brian has a secret he can never share and that means women are only a means to an end. He is not a man looking for love or so he thought. Then she walked into the room and his heart started beating again.
Amanda is a romantic at heart and wants that for herself. She thinks it is within her reach until she discovers Mr Right has come at the wrong time.
This charming yet emotional tale has it all. It is a heartbreaker, it is witty, full of banter, a touch angsty, lots of sexual tension, made with lots of sugar and spice and plenty of steam and is a tearjerker.
Marilyn’s writing style flows easily and writes characters so likable they feel so real, and they capture your heart. Her narrative is so vivid you can easily imagine all that she describes.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from her.
A definite must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Chasing Cheer by Heather Schneider is the first book of the new Magical Emerald Hollow series. It follows Holly Claus as she embarks on a cheer collecting mission – searching for good emotions and running from the bad. In an attempt to find new, better ways to collect, Holly visits a smal town in Oregon called Emerald Hollow for the Fall Festival. She meets Asher Hayes who is the owner of a restaurant/coffee shop/hotel and finds her cheer quota met quickly. Holly decides to investigate why that may be and takes readers on a magical hallmark-y journey. I quickly fell in love with the characters and will be watching for more from this series.

Wild For Me (Balefire, #3)Wild For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great one in the Balefire series. Wild For Me is book 3 in the series but can be read as a standalone. When Dakota and Annabelle cross paths again for the first time since their one wild, crazy night, sparks fly. Soon, Annabelle scores the internship of a lifetime and will once again be in Dakota Perri’s orbit. This was a fun, quick read and does really well telling the characters stories. I will, however, stand by my stance that a miscommunication trope is never a good choice. It’s always too predictable and seems 100% avoidable, but alas, it still worked out, and we got out HEA.

Daring Ceri (True Platinum Rock Star Romance Series Book 6) by Morgana Bevan – Review by Beverly Finnie

Daring Ceri (True Platinum #6)Daring Ceri by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading Daring Ceri and I was surprised to see that the books in this series overlap. I figured there’d be a slight overlap at the end but no, this was revealed to overlap pretty early on. I really enjoy reading the work this author releases. I’ve read quite a few books from her and she draws me in every time. I never want to put the book down.
Ceri and Alex’s story is no different. At the beginning I was getting “Sweet Home Alabama” vibes for anyone who has seen that movie. And if you love it like I do, definitely read this book.
Ceri is excited to move on with her life, but unfortunately finds out there’s a massive bump in her road. How can she get married, when she’s already married to someone else? What makes it worse is it’s the one man who hurt her the most. Why did she have to be attached to Alex?
Alex was dumbfounded to find out his second chance was thrust in front of him in this way. He was married to the one who got away, this was his chance to make it right. One problem, she was demanding a divorce. So he convinced her to give him 3-4 months on tour to prove to her otherwise, if he was wrong he would sign the papers.
Things start unraveling quickly between them. The constant push and pull. His label is against their relationship. The tabloids have gotten wind. They constantly are pushing each other’s buttons. Her fiancé leaves her.
So what happens when the tour finally kicks off?
Will she give in or stand her ground?
What will the label say?
The tour is where the real fun in this second chance romance begins. When I mean fun, I mean for the reader. Because this is the juicy part of the story. The part that keeps us turning the pages and wanting more…

Blake has been let go from her teaching job and finds herself miles away from her former life in Manhattan. When her brother asks her to do him a favor and be a nanny for his friend, Morgan, she realizes that she needs any job at this point before her savings runs completely out.

Morgan runs his own security firm. However, now that his ex is threatening to sue him for custody, he needs someone to watch after his daughter. Hoping to find someone who is willing to take the temporary position, he asks his friend Harper for help. But, when Blake shows up, it isn’t long until both Ciara and Morgan are head over heels for the new nanny.

But, with Blake’s relationship hangups due to a past relationship, and Morgan’s ex doing her best to wreak havoc…can these two even make a go at a relationship? Or is their fling as temporary as the nanny job is expected to be?

This was a pretty quick read that I devoured in one sitting! The chemistry between Morgan and Blake could be felt through my kindle. Ciara is sweet and sassy and I loved her! Overall, a good story that I enjoyed reading!

Ignite My Heart is part of Alicia Street’s North Fork series. While it is not the first book in the series, it’s the first book I’ve read by this author and it read well as a stand-alone. I liked that this book was on the shorter side for a novel but never felt rushed. The characters were really well written and enjoyable, the kind that you root for and feel could be friends of yours in reality. The fact that this story flowed so well with strong characters sparked an interest in what more this author or series has to offer. I look forward to reading more of the North Fork series.

Wild For Me (The Balefire Series Book 3) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Wild For Me (Balefire, #3)Wild For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wild For Me is Book Three in The Balefire series. It is a second chance, contemporary romance that centers around the characters of Annabelle and Dakota. We were introduced to them in previous books as secondary characters, but this book goes into their story. Annabelle has recently graduated from college and has been given the opportunity to do an internship with her favorite band, Balefire. The internship will allow her to gain admission to an MBA program that she wants to attend. The tricky part is that two years ago Annabelle slept with the lead guitarist, Dakota, of the band Balefire and she never expected to see him again. Dakota has slept with numerous women over the years and prides himself on never sleeping with the same woman twice. When he slept with Annabelle, he never expected to see her again, but he does find himself thinking about her and wondering how she feels about him. As fate would have it Annabelle and Dakota are brought together when a member of Balefire is about to get married to Annabelle’s best friend. The attraction and chemistry between Annabelle and Dakota is undeniable but she does not want to be accused of sleeping her way to the top. Dakota has a reputation for sleeping around so he must try to prove to Annabelle that he truly does care for her. The push and pull between the two becomes intense as Dakota and Annabelle navigate their feelings and attraction for one another.

This was another great book in this rockstar romance series. The characters of Dakota and Annabelle grew from what we read briefly in previous books. Annabelle is hardworking, smart, ambitious, and determined. She was attempting to explore her wild side when she slept with Dakota and never expected it to become anything more than her fulfilling a dream of hers. Afterwards, Annabelle put it behind her and focused on graduating college and pursuing her MBA. Dakota has a reputation for being wild, carefree, ambitious, and a bit of a jerk. He never expected any woman to make him feel the need to settle down and stop sleeping around until he met Annabelle. His fear of commitment stems from something traumatic in his past which enables us to better understand why Dakota acts the way he does. It was interesting to read and see how the chemistry would play out between Annabelle and Dakota and if there was any hope of a real, true relationship. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Holly is Ms. Claus and is in charge of collecting ‘cheer’ to bring home to power the North Pole light. Negative energy and moods can affect her cheer collecting so she’s gone for most of the year trying to fill up her meter to keep things running.

I loved all of the characters in this and felt they were all relatable in one way or another.
I really would love to see more in everyone in this story and the town. This is perfect for a cozy weekend read.

Whilst he’s dealing with the custody battle, he needs a live in nanny and so hires the sister of a friend. Blake is more used to teaching the ancient classics than being a nanny, but having lost her job and with her savings running out, she can’t really say no. Morgan wishes the arrangement wasn’t just temporary as his daughter adores Blake, and so does he! However, Blake is unable to have children of her own and so does not want to be a nanny forever, but both Morgan and his daughter have got into her heart. I loved the characters, Blake and Morgan are both likeable and realistic and their chemistry sizzled off the page! The storyline had me hooked throughout and I was fully immersed in the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I so need someone to either punch Garrett or fire him because he needs to go. I knew he was going to be trouble from the beginning. I don’t like him. But I am totally about these boys growing up into the men the women need them to be.

Two years ago, Annabelle challenged herself to have a one night stand with Dakota, the uber-hot lead guitarist from the most popular band on the planet. Not only did she succeed but she never forgot how he made her feel, the tingles his touch left on her skin or the way he made her feel wanted. Annabelle has to see him one more time at her best friend’s wedding since he is best friends with the groom.

Even though Dakota could have a different woman every day, there is one woman that keeps occupying space in his brain. He will get the chance to see her again at The Monk’s wedding. Dakota wants to, needs to reconnect with her. Annabelle is everything he remembers plus so much more.

Annabelle gets a phone call to intern with the band. She can learn marketing and band management on the way to her MBA. Now, she only has to manage to stay away from Dakota until the band goes back out on tour. Except, Dakota’s main goal is to be wherever Annabelle is.

Garrett does what he does best and starts planting seeds of doubt and derision between Dakota and Annabelle. When the seeds take root and blossom, Dakota reverts back to his old ways. When Dakota realizes his error, he must find a way to win Annabelle back.

This series has been wonderful. Each story is full of heart and feeling. The characters have a realness to them. Except Garrett. I do hope that he gets what is coming to him. If you aren’t already a Balefire fan, this one will have you getting temporary flame tattoos and figuring out which undergarments you are flinging at the band!!
