Jeremy Full of Grace by Greta Cribbs

5 Stars

I will read absolutely ANYTHING this author writes. I love her ability to tell a story and make it seem so real and easy to follow. I find myself picturing every scene and believing everything that is going on. I used to love dystopian novels until some of them turned into more of a fantasy world than how I’ve always looked at the dystopian genre. This hit every mark for me on what I love about a dystopian story.

There was a lot of Catholic religion mixed into this story, alot of doctrine and tradition which was all spot on. It didn’t mean you had to be a Catholic or supremely religious person to get completely wrapped up in this book and this story of this young man. I guess it’s more of just having a belief that there is something that connects us all even if it can’t be explained.

I was completely lost in this book while I was reading it. Could not put it down and felt like I couldn’t read it fast enough. The next thing I knew it was over. It ended too quickly only because I didn’t want to put it down and think of starting another book. I wanted to stay in Ruth and Jeremy’s world a little longer and learn more about how they lived day to day. I loved everything about it and will read it again in the future, maybe a few times.

I can’t wait for more from this author!

I think this might be one of the best children’s books I’ve seen in a while. I loved the writing, the whole concept of the story, and the illustrations were out of this world. Will definitely be buying hard copies for Christmas stockings this year.

I can absolutely see how this could be used in the classroom and a whole lesson with discussions and projects being included. It has a great message that could be expanded in so many parts of our children’s minds. I really loved this and can’t wait for my grandbabies to have their copies.

Thank you Miss Heartly!

Holy Crap!! As I reached the end of this book I literally felt gut punched! This whole story is completely amazing and had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading…but the end?!?! I fell off my seat and felt like I kept falling! This officially goes down as one of my favorite out of left field kind of moments..I had not even a slight inclination of what was going to happen.

These two authors are amazing by themselves but together they are explosive! You really really have to read the novella before this as it kind of runs at the same time and gives you information you need for this story. I’m not going into any details as it’s too hard to sum up without giving stuff away!

I have fallen in love with all of these people, and can not wait for the next part and also can not wait for whatever these two authors come up with next, and I do hope there are more projects they tackle together.

I absolutely LOVED this!!!

5 Stars

I loved the first two of the Moonlit Destination series and this one is no different, it was a one sitting read for me as the story kept me wrapped from page one. This author has a way of transporting you to wherever the stories take place. I’m pretty sure I’ll never visit Venice although I’d love to, but came away from reading this book feeling as if I had been right there with Gianna and Sergio the whole way. Their story was unique and the romance felt real and like it happened naturally. This is my favorite of all of them so far as I felt like I connected a little quicker and literally could not put it down.

I will read anything by this author. She writes romantic suspense like no other and although I like her longer novels and series a bit more this one still holds true and stays consistent with the awesome writing style I’ve come to know by this author.

They can all be read as standalones but I highly recommend reading them all!

Loved it!

I have read many books by this author and have enjoyed all of them. I especially loved the first book in this series and was super excited about this one as I was left with a few questions at the end of the first. It was awesome getting back to Scott and Zelda and I would have loved more of their story in this book. In saying that I didn’t fall into this one quite as deep as I did the first. It still had all of the amazing writing I’ve come to expect from a book by this author but this one had me confused most of the time. There are a lot of moving parts and trying to keep up was a challenge. It took me a bit to finish it as it was quite long. I did love the mystery and never knowing what secret would be revealed next. It was just a bit complicated trying to keep the characters straight and I did have to go back every now and then to get back on pace. Logan and Angel were strong characters and I did love both of them.

The ending was awesome and helped clear up some of the confusion, but not all of it. I love this author and will read anything she comes out with, this one was just not one of my favorites although I did enjoy most of it.

I grabbed this book solely because I fell in love with the cover, I went in blind which is something I don’t normally do but because the cover was so inviting I decided to try something new. It took me just a couple kindle swipes to get into the flow and writing style of this author and then literally could not put it down! This story was so beautifully written and I completely fell in love with Sanaya and Leo. I felt like I was actually on their journey with them and their feelings were described so well I could actually feel every emotion. This whole story was different for me, it wasn’t your normal sappy love story (which dont get me wrong, I love sappy a whole lot) but there was a different feel to this. It’s listed as a rom com, and I see that but there was very subtle humor and most of it was the interaction between Sanaya and Leo, which makes sense because there was not a lot of other character involvement within the story.

There was one scene which literally tore my heart out and without realizing, I had tears running down my cheeks and my heart hurt. This was both my favorite scene and my least favorite in the story. If there is one downside to the book, it would have to be I wanted more, knowing what happened next would have been awesome, but my imagination handled the rest.

I can not wait to read more from this author, I loved this book and am so thankful judging it by its cover paid off in spades! I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Is it really over?? Oh my goodness this series has had me wrapped since page 1 of book 1 and now I have finished book 5 and although I loved how this author ended this, I seriously don’t want it to be done.

I don’t think it is possible to read this series or this book out of order. This is a tightly woven series and each book plays off of the previous and right into the next. There are so many moving parts that in my opinion require these to all be read in order.

This was the perfect ending to this story, and I really wasn’t completely sure about anything until the very end. If you had told me this is where Evie would have ended up after reading the first book I would have thought you were crazy, and although I didn’t fully trust it, I was so so happy and completely fulfilled with how everything ended.

I can’t recommend this whole series highly enough… It is full of everything you ever want in a series. Danger, Love, Lust, Humor, Fear, Contentment, Steam, Suspense, Thrills, and edge of your seat reading most of the way.

I can not wait to reread this entire series, maybe more than once. A definite addition to my list of favorite series ever!

Many thanks to this author for a Uniquely Stellar Series!!

I grabbed this book because of the cover and I thought it would be something my grandkids would love. The thing is, I read it, couldn’t put it down, and fell in love with it. Although it is suited for 8 – 12 year olds, this much older reader thought it was such a fantastic story and found herself on the edge of her seat most of the read because it flowed so well that you really had no idea what was going to happen next. I read in one of the other reviews that they were hoping for a series. YES PLEASE, what happens next was something I really wanted to know. It did not end on a cliff hanger but after following the birds for so long I really wanted to know more.

This is my first ever read by this author and I have already mentioned her to my daughters and I will be buying a copy of this for each of my grands! I simply loved this story and the character of Lu was so amazingly written.

I can’t recommend this high enough for any age..it was a fantastic book!

Another fantastic book by this amazing author. This might be my favorite, although I think I say that after almost every one of them. I love a strong alpha male character as well as a strong, stubborn female and this one had both in spades.

I actually found myself laughing at times with the interaction between these two. I loved it. I especially loved the ongoing suspense and edge of my seat reading. I read this in one sitting because I simply could not put it down. There were quite a few steamy scenes and I did skim through some of those as I was too interested in the story itself to take time out for those.

This author is simply amazing, every book is as good if not better than the last. I highly recommend looking her up and reading all of the books in the multiple series they are all associated with. Her characters pull you in and really make you feel like you’re right there.

The interaction between the two main characters made this story feel real to me. It was easy conversation where both pretty much said what they were thinking. I dont have the correct words to explain what I mean by that but it was just so easy to read and imagine.

I loved this book, it was a quick one sitting read that wasn’t full of a whole lot of drama and problems at every turn. I’m so used to reading twists and turns, which I love, and at first I kept waiting for that to happen in this book, but they never came and I was truly ok with that. It was a nice break from the kindle throwing LOL

I love this author and I love how her stories flow so easily. I have to admit Jesse was one of my favorite characters in this story. His loyalty to and friendship with Hannah seemed real and I felt that! There are some steamy scenes that will make you blush and some fun back and forth that will make you smile and in some cases laugh out loud a little.

Loved it!

The Cozy Mystery genre has quickly become one of my favorites recently and when I saw that one of my favorite authors ever had one coming out I absolutely had to have it. Then I realize it’s going to be a series!! Win, Win!!

I had really high hopes for this book and in Classic KL Montgomery fashion those were met and included more. I loved this book…I felt like Sunshine’s right hand man on this one, I suspected everyone and couldn’t put the story down until I knew how it ended. Then I was left with yet another mystery I see coming in the future. I loved Mom and Dad, they made me smile, and I’m left with a lot of curiosity about Chief James. I can not wait for the next book to be available, and I love the covers on these books, they seem so inviting, and they will look so nice on my bookshelf!

I will absolutely read anything this author comes out with, she has written 2 of my favorites of all time and I can’t recommend her and her books enough.

Read this! You won’t be sorry!

This was not my favorite of the series, can’t really pinpoint why, it just didn’t seem to flow as well at times. I still loved the book because I love Jake and of course Cody. It has always amazed me that this author can take a character like Cody and make him one of my favorite book characters ever. I completely enjoyed more of Sarah in this story. I would love to see more emphasis on these two, but seeing a few different sides to her in this part really helped. More focus on their relationship would make me really happy.

All of these books can be read as standalones but reading them all will give you a better feel for these characters. I’ve always said this would make for a great TV series and I do plan to binge read these sometime in the future as I really enjoy this author’s writing style and the edge of your seat suspense that is always offered.

Can’t wait for more!

I love an enemies to lovers story when it’s done like this. It didn’t go from I hate you, to I can’t live without you in one page. I loved the first book in this series and this one is just as good. I truly love this author and will be reading more of her books soon!

Reading book one is not necessary in order to follow this story, but I highly recommend it as it follows a family and adds more enjoyment to this book. I loved Mia and the interaction with Nicholas made me laugh out loud at times. She’s got the sass that I just love.

This book had all that you would want in a story, and I can see me wanting to read these again in the future, and I can’t forget the recipes, I just can’t say enough about this book..It is awesome!

Just not sure what more I can write in a review that explains how much I love reading this author’s books. I feel like a broken record because I’ve said it all before in reviews for her other books.

I loved loved loved this one. Dereck had his hands full with Layla who was determined to save her sister, and let nobody stand in her way. I love a dominant leading man and a sassy hard to handle tough as nails leading lady. This makes for some of my favorite reading. This addition sits up in my favorites of all these series. Although I’ve loved them all, I have some favorites. I can’t imagine going into any of these books without having read all of the series leading up to this one. The suspense, heat, mystery, danger, and edge of your seat reading is what makes this author a forever one click for me.

Can not wait for what else is to come!

This series is killing me!! No seriously…It has jumped out of the book world to rock my world.
I will start by saying, do not try to read these out of order. I have read them all and made notes so I could be ready for the next and it still takes me a bit to fall back in again. There are a lot of moving parts and remembering bits and pieces from the previous books is a must for understanding. I both want the series to end and not want the series to end if that makes sense. I want it to end so I can line them up and read them all again back to back…It is THAT GOOD!

This one was a bit more intense than the others and that is because things are coming to an end, I can feel it. I’ve quit trying to predict because this author has taken everything I thought and thrown it out the window, I love this and love that I have no flipping idea where she is going. I truly threw my kindle when I finished this one, as I’ve done with a couple of the others.

This is an awesome, fantastic, brilliant series, unlike anything I’ve ever read and I can not even wait for the next.

Not even going to try to sum it all up, don’t trust myself and don’t want to ruin anything for anyone else.

READ THESE…NOT EVEN KIDDING!

Wow!! I finished this book a couple days ago and needed to think about it a bit before I came to write this review. This is my first book by this author and I was more than pleasantly surprised. I have since checked out her other books and will absolutely be reading some of those. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, I went in blind so had no idea what I was in for. It would have been very simple to get really confused about what was happening but the way this author put it all together had me figuring it out quickly and made it very easy to follow. What I didn’t figure out was the ending… It came on quite quickly and had my mind all over the place thinking back to things that happened throughout the book. That was well played and even had me doing some googling when I finished LOL

I completely enjoyed every word of this book and can not wait to read more from this author.

I was emotionally wrecked after finishing this book! Petrosky reached favorite leading man many books back, and because I feel so emotionally attached to him and these stories this one was my favorite and my least favorite of the entire series. How can that even make sense? The history of all of this series is always there eating at Petrosky and me as a reader, which explains why he stays a hot mess and takes me right along with him.

So you may not have to read the books before this one to fall into this book but you won’t get the whole effect of the emotional war taking place, so I highly recommend reading this entire series. It is seriously one of the absolute best series with some of the best writing you will ever experience in this genre. I have a few series I want to reread back to back and this one sits in my top three and have always said if this was a TV series, it would be binge worthy over and over again!

My thoughts are so jumbled so I’m not even going to try to sum this all up, but I will say it has everything and more you would want and even some things you might not even know you want.

They just keep getting better and better and better!

I could hardly wait to get a hold of this book. I love this series so much and after reading book #3 I was praying it was these characters that came next.

This one touches a bit more on some different kinds of relationships that are kind of hard for me to understand, simply because I just don’t understand, but the best part about that is, it doesn’t require me to understand as long as I can feel the connections and the emotions and the feelings. I did that in spades! One of the best parts of this series is the connections being built between ALL of the characters, the family feel of this group that amazes me since they all really aren’t supposed to be friends much less like a family. Hard to explain but it’s the incredible job this author has done with everything that makes it all possible and also feel very real!

There was one person in this story that I’ll be honest I had to go back and figure out exactly who he was as he played a short part in a previous book and then roared into this book and quickly became one of my favorites.

This installment had everything from making me laugh, making me sad, making me angry and also feeling physical pain for one of our characters. Oh my gosh I could hardly stand these scenes because they were written so well I could imagine and feel it all.

I’m skirting around names and storyline because I really just believe these must be read in order and mentioning anything will give away a few things from the previous books. You really need to start at the beginning to get the full experience of these amazing characters.

I can not even wait for the next in this series and I pray that this author never changes her style because it is unique and completely addictive.

Loved it!!

Ok so this was a fun quick read. I read book 1 of this series and did enjoy it, but I absolutely loved this one! The only complaint I have is that I wish it was longer as I enjoyed reading and did not want it to end! Opposites attract is one of my favorites.

I loved Mitchell and Sadie, I actually enjoyed all of the characters. I appreciated that they weren’t all teenagers, I enjoy those as well but this one was more up my alley! The friendship / family aspect came through perfectly for me, and I loved how even though it was a short read nothing felt rushed or crammed in.

I am seriously beginning to love this author and have already added her to my one click list! These do not need to be read in order to enjoy the stories. I highly recommend picking this book up, you won’t be sorry!

5 ++++++ Stars

The mother chapter in Tuscan is and always will be my favorite of all of the Satan’s Devils and this second generation addition is something I absolutely love. It gets confusing here and there with the “club kids” and reminding myself throughout who is who and who is whose. None of that matters though because our “FOG’s” are still front and center making this part of all the series my new favorite!

Peg’s book is actually where I met the Satan’s Devils. I have since gone back and read them all but Peg will always hold a special place with me. Now his son has grown up and become the enforcer of the club. At first I had a small problem with Throttle and the way he spoke to Peg out loud and in his thoughts. That was the “Peg was my first, you better be nice” thoughts LOL But as it went on I was at ease with all that.

I just can’t go into this storyline, besides that I loved these two. I loved the hardness Throttle started out with, he had the softness he needed to make me fall in love with him pretty quick. I also loved Gwen from the first time I met her. I have said this in many reviews and I will say it again. I don’t know how this author can write so many books that center in the same group of people (The Satan’s Devils) and make each one different than any of the others, you never know what will come next. They are always hard to put down and even when I walk away for things like “adulting” all I’m thinking about is picking it back up.

This one O.M.G.! The story itself was enough to have me a complete mess, then…The End happened…. I just can’t, but I will say.. BEST TWIST EVER!! I thought I had everything figured out and sorted…Yea, that was a big NOT! I won’t anytime soon forget this book!

If you haven’t read any of these books, what are you waiting for? Honestly the books and the author sit way at the top of my all time favorites!!

Couldn’t have loved this any more than I did.

Another fantastic addition to the amazing bodyguards. I have read all of this series as well as the ones that led up to these stories. This author has a knack of holding you hostage from the very first page. Every word matters and the story lines are always fresh and unique. Everytime I finish one Im convinced it’s my favorite of them all and I have learned that only remains true till I pick up the next one.

The connection between these 2 main characters was off the chart hot! Like put a fan in front of you hot, but in true Via Mari fashion, that’s not what makes the whole story. It’s the suspense and needing to know from one second to the other what’s going to happen next. I love that each book is its own story but you’re still visiting previous characters in every book. A person could pick up any one of them and start, but knowing how everyone got where they are and who they are makes each one that much better.

Loved it so much!! An absolute one click author for me!

Back to Spicetopia! I forget how much I love visiting there till I pick up another book, then add in one of my favorite couples from The Eastern Shore Swingers series and all was right in my world for the duration of this book!

This whole series is so much fun, each one could actually be read as a standalone but I just think you need the whole of the Spicetopia series to appreciate it! This one might just be my favorite, it could have to do with the characters I’ve already come to love but I loved the approach to this story. I love the emotions I was feeling throughout. I loved loved loved being on the edge of my seat at times wondering what would happen next. I was a mess at times, angry, scared, happy, sad.. Yes this author hit it all in this one!

Another one sitting read because I could not put it down. If you have not read any of this author’s books, you really must..You won’t regret it I promise, and I’m sure she will become another addition to your one click list as quickly as she did mine!

This is my 2nd book of this series and also by this author. I enjoyed the first one, but do believe this one is my pick so far. Still just a bit predictable for me, but definitely held my interest till the last page. The writing style has an easy flow making it an easy read to get lost in. I did find myself confused a few times but was able to get back on track pretty quick. I never connected strongly with Marie, I’m not sure why but something did bother me about her. I did like the humor that was spaced out throughout, and I did LOL a few times.

I did enjoy reading this and it absolutely can be read as a stand alone. I will be looking forward to the next one.

BOOM! Another perfect addition to one of my favorite series ever! Might just be my favorite yet! That’s not easy to say because I think every one of them is my favorite when I hit the last page. LOL

There are actually two stories going on in this book, giving me action, suspense, danger, twists, secrets, family, and the feeling of actually being in the absolutely beautiful city of Istanbul and the mountains of Turkey.

I love these characters so so much, I’m completely invested in this series and can not wait for the next. Samaar, Luke, and Alice’s future is completely different than they had planned and I can not wait to see how this all plays out. I’m excited about the addition of Ali and even Kral and am trying so hard not to go into the storyline, you really must read this but..in order to get the whole impact of this story you really in my opinion need to read them all in order.

This author is with no doubt one of my favorites ever. Every book she comes out with is spot on perfection. They flow so well that I read every one of them in one sitting because I can literally not put them down. She always takes me on journeys that I never knew I wanted and has made me look up places because I want to see what I’m visualizing while reading. Her careful attention to detail leaving me with no questions or confusion is something I appreciate, these are just a few of the reasons she’s a favorite!

I can not wait to reread this entire series and will own every one of them, because there is a place on my bookshelf waiting for them.

This one was not an easy read, and I’ll admit I got lost a few times, having to stop and even go back to keep names straight. I had no problem with this because I was so into the story it made sense I wanted to keep things in order. There was a lot going on and even more to keep track of and I loved every second of it.

The end was not what I had expected and this is why I’m so invested in this series and this author. It’s amazing how she can twist and turn the words the way she does. Thankfully there was not too much describing some of what went on, but what was revealed had me cringing at times.

You could read this as a standalone, but Petrosky has quite a story in the books leading up to this one and I’m glad I have read all those that came before. The relationship between Petrosky and his partner is one of my favorites of all time.

I can not wait for the next and I truly hope we have many more to come.

Loved it!

8 Second Ride by Shannon Nemechek

4 Stars

I struggled a bit deciding on 4 or 5 stars for this story. It was written very well and was as usual what I expect from this author. I love her books and it read really easy, smooth, and quick. Although a bit predictable it was still a fun story to read. On the other hand it was too quick for me. The transition of enemies to lovers happened a bit too quick and I did not get that build up feeling while it was happening. I was also left totally unsatisfied because the story seemed unfinished. I was hoping for an epilogue that took place in Vegas and that did not happen.

It was only 39 or 40 pages and I wish it had been more like 70 and more of the story was told. I found myself more interested and looking forward to what was going to happen in Vegas and after then what I was actually reading.

So in a nutshell, I loved the story and the writing. I just wanted more of it and more of the build up.

I had a feeling going into this book that I was going to love it and I was so right. The start of a new series has me wanting more and loving these characters. Although a quick read it had everything I would want in a mafia type story and then some. If I had not seen that this was written by two authors I would have never realized it. The writing was so smooth and never once felt like I was transitioning from one author to the next.

Braelynn could possibly be one of my favorite female leads ever. Her strength and take no crap attitude while still having a vulnerable side was awesome! Oh and..That Slap!! I’ll never forget that scene and I was reading along like Holy Crap woman what were you thinking, but that’s who she is and I love it!

I can not wait to get my hands on what’s to come for all of these characters. I can’t recommend this story enough, I have found that I love books written with the mafia theme, and this one was incredible!!

LOVED THIS!! Another one hit out of the ballpark from one of my favorite all time authors. If you haven’t read anything by Maddie Wade up to now.. Even though I love reading all of hers in order this could absolutely be read as a standalone, but be aware that the characters from other books do play into this story and having the whole of this series is for me personally a must.

This one had my emotions a total mess especially going through some of my own issues, which I loved because it brought out tears I needed to shed. I loved this story, it was very powerful and had quite a few moving parts which were done perfectly. I connected easily to the characters and strengthened connections I already had with others.

Not giving away any of the storyline so I will just say, do yourself a favor and read this series, it is amazing and this author is a definite one click..doesn’t matter what she writes.

Another one sitting read because I couldn’t put it down!

I love this series so so so so much!! I have read almost all of Judy Moore’s books, still a few more I need to grab but she has literally become one of my favorite authors in this genre. I know once I open a book I need time because I will not want to put it down.

This series in particular is an absolute favorite. I feel like these people have become my friends and I’m so emotionally invested in everything, the book store, the town, and especially the characters, including Coquina and whether she learns French or Spanish LOL Scratchoff is still a favorite and I’m having visions of a super fun yet unbelievable storyline for him that I think would quickly become a killer part of this series!

I love how the Devon and Beck story is going…it feels so amazingly real and is building perfectly!!

This is an awesome series. I personally do not recommend reading them as standalones if you want to become completely invested in these characters, you need them all for the full effect!

This author has a way of weaving her words into the most amazing stories that flow so perfectly and have just enough of the twists and turns to make them amazing.

Loved this addition and can not wait for more!!!!

This is an awesome series, I enjoyed this one just as much as the first two. I love time travel stories when they are made to feel like it could really happen and this has given me that. I’m not a big historical fan but after reading the first I had to continue on. I love this author and will always give her books a try.

I don’t recommend reading these out of order, you really need all of them to get the full effect of the ongoing story.

Excellent writing with a unique storyline and it has a super smooth flow allowing me to read it in one sitting.
