I have to admit this book totally took me by surprise – the blurb I thought was quite vague and the cover doesn’t reveal much at all so going into it I had no preconceived ideas about what was going to happen and what I got was a fantastic story that I couldn’t put down until I had finished. The author told a really powerful story and I liked that it was through the eyes of a teenage boy and I think this may be a first for me. I have read many coming of age stories but the main character is usually a girl and the stories can be a little predictable but this one wasn’t at all. I could tell that the author had really thought about what he was writing – there weren’t a vast amount of characters in the story which made it feel more of an intimate read and I felt like I got to know them all really well. This is my first read by this author and I know that it won’t be the last; he has truly captured my attention with his engaging writing style and attention to detail with his characters. A great YA/Coming of Age book that I would 100% recommend!

I highly recommend this boxset. You won’t be disappointed. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This was a wonderful debut novel for this author and I am really excited to read the second book. I was drawn into the story fairly quickly and the ending definitely left me with questions, hence why I can’t wait to get my hands on book 2! Dawson and Izzy’s story was wonderful to follow and I could truly feel the love and connection that they had. I do have a slight soft spot for rock star romance stories so that is probably why I loved this one as much as I did. The writing was excellent and the author really brought her characters to life and gave them a real life feeling to them, I felt, as a reader, like I was living the highs and lows of their relationship with them, it was a very engaging read. I adored the way Dawson loved Izzy, it’s the kind of love I think everybody wants to experience. She was everything to him and he was the same to her. As I said previously with how the story ended I can’t wait to see what happens next – I hope the author isn’t about to break my heart! A fantastic debut novel that I highly recommend!

Claiming her Mates by Dia Cole is book one of the paranormal shifters romance series. This is the first I had heard of this author, but I never can resist a shifter/paranormal novel and I am glad for that. This book was well written and I absolutely fell in love with the characters. I cant wait to read what happens next in their story. The characters draw you in while the story line keeps you reading. I will definitely continue to look for more books by this author and read them. I give this book a solid 5 stars, and find something to read that will live up to these characters.

Souls Collide was a great 5 star read and book three in the Collide series.
I loved Alexa, she was bubbly and always happy about everything. She wanted everyone else around her to be the same way. One day she literally runs into Kent, who definitely doesn’t have the same outlook as Alexa. He is a cranky and short tempered man who doesn’t like anyone. And of course it didn’t help that she thought he was dressed up as a cop for Halloween, when he in fact is an officer.
Fate of course steps in and these two start to see each other in several different places, and when she becomes friends with his sister Abby things get even more interesting. I have to say I love what she did at the bar, well played Alexa. As for Kent, I was so upset with how mean and short he was with her.
“That’s enough!” I don’t know if I want to punch him in the face or go at it with him on the hood of my car.
As we move forward we start to understand Kent and why he is the way he is. Eventually my heart did open up to him. Things also take a twist when Alexa ends up with a stalker. The protector in Kent takes over and tries to keep her safe.
The banter between Kent and Alexa was great, she could definitely give it back to him ten fold. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. Overall I loved everything about this book, Kristina Beck does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing. There are twists and turns which I loved. Each story in the series can be read as a stand alone but I suggest starting with book one.

Fatal Legislation is the second book in Ellen Butler’s Karina Cardinal Mystery series. Yet again, Karina ends up being swept up in a mystery that her inquisitive mind won’t let her leave alone. I like the variety in the Karina Cardinal Mysteries. The first book, Isabella’s Painting, focused on art theft and this book focuses on political assassination. With Karina and other supporting characters to connect the stories, there is a sense of cohesion but the story has a very different feel to it. Fatal Legislation kept me on my toes. There was always something new coming up – another twist in the story. Whenever Karina starts to piece things together, something changes or comes up. It’s also interesting to see the strain it puts on Mike and Karina’s relationship as he struggles to balance his personal relationship with her and his responsibilities in the investigation. I wouldn’t normally go for political thrillers, but having met Karina in Isabella’s Painting I was eager to read this and found myself really enjoying it. It gives a fascinating insight into American politics and is suspenseful and enjoyable. For me, it’s a five star read. The story follows on from Isabella’s Painting, and I would recommend reading that book first (it’s also very good!). That said, Butler does a good job of setting the scene and reminding the reader of anything they need to know so if you’re only really after a political thriller you could come in at this book.

You just can’t go wrong with a good Christmas romance story, and Allyson just rocks it with each Christmas romance she writes, and A Frothy Christmas Kiss is no different. This whole series just seems to be getting better as it advances. What can be better when you find that shop that makes a coffee that is so perfect and then you meet the person who runs it and he just rock your world? That’s where Kat is at when she stops by the coffee shop that Dan runs. A little Christmas flirting doesn’t hurt either! There are some misunderstandings between Kat and Dan brought on by the lack of chatter between themselves. Just like Allyson’s other books this one is also so well written. There is nothing you aren’t going to like about this story. So, what are you waiting for? Go get this book and enjoy reading about Kat and Dan.

Snatching Dianna was action packed and interesting. It almost seemed like it couldn’t be the first book in this series, as the characters already have such developed relationships. It feels like each book may take you on a fast paced adventure, fighting crimes and saving lives. The personalities of the lawyers, spooks, etc were strong, sassy, and fun. The dirty scenes were hot, but kind of out of place? They were enjoyable but distracting to the action a bit. Overall, a good read and a good start to a series.

Souls Collide is Book 3 in the Collide series from author Kristina Beck. This is my first read from this author, and I can’t believe that I have never read any other books from this author before. I loved everything about this read, I was totally captivated with this read it was beautifully written, it flowed easily from chapter to chapter and I couldn’t put it down, I found myself reading it in one sitting and eagerly turning the pages wanting to find out what will happen next.
I absolutely loved the main characters Alexa & Kent. They don’t get off to the best start, but when sparks fly, their connection is undeniable. The suspense and mystery that is in this book keeps you on the edge of your seat. The relationship between Alexa & Kent is one you can’t help but route for and hope that they can get through all the ups and downs and get a HEA.
This is an incredible read, that I am now going to go back and read book 1 & 2 just so that I can enjoy more of this authors writing, and story lines. I’ll be eagerly awaiting Book 4 – and highly recommend this read!

The Something series by Aubrey Bondurant filled with five-star reads. This is the box set of books 1-3 and each story is just more compelling than the last, I had previously read these books, picking them up now and again between other books, I enjoyed them but reading them all together as a box set just seemed to pull me in so much more that as individual books, each book reveals a different story about different people but all in the same world they complement each other well.

Souls Collide (Collide Series #3) By Kristina Beck Rated 5 stars
This is my first book by this author and I am not sure how I have skipped over this wonderful writer. Her writing enchanted me. I loved meeting each of her characters. Then when they all came together….BAM! Pure Poetry in Motion! She gives them life…they are not just flat characters. I care about each of them for their own reasons…well except for a few naughty ones. But they help make the story so I guess I like them for what their purpose is.
I read this fairly quickly as it enchanted me from the beginning. After about the half way mark I kinda started losing interest. I kept plugging along and it was worth it. There are some amazing characters in here who struggle with real life problems. I learned a few things I didn’t know before. Alexa-I love the whole nickname thing and the idea behind it. Kent…you made me want to hug you. But you would not like that at least at first. Abby- Dayum girl! You are inspiring!
Overall this story was right up my alley. I enjoyed reading it and will keep this author in mind when looking for a fun, sexy romance.
Snatching Dianna is book one in the Feisty Lawyers series by Seelie Kay. This author intrigued me with the storyline. I have not read any of Seelie Kay’s work, and I was delighted to find it was amazingly good. The writing style was really engaging for a reader, had excitement and thrilling suspenseful moments, and the characters blended effortlessly and provided a plethora of articulate actions and dramatic displays.
I love a good what happened drama and Snatching Dianna was an excellent example of a top quality suspense. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series will be on my must read list. 5 stars.

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Series Book 2) By: T. Birmingham 5 out of 5 stars
The story Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Series Book 2) by T. Birmingham is a book with both suspense and romance. I loved reading it just as much as I did the first one. It is a story that draws you in and I found myself lost in the book until I had finished. There are page-turning moments which had me wondering what was going to happen next. There is a mystery that must be solved which will keep you guessing. This is also a story about romance and a connection that is felt by two of the characters. I loved reading about the characters of Davis “Eagle” Landon and Winter Markham. Eagle is a businessman. He is also the President of the Fallen Eagles MC. He gives a lot back to the community, especially veterans. He also is very attracted to Winter. Winter is a woman who owns her own business and has wonderful friends and family. Winter can feel lonely and like she is separate/apart. She also feels an attraction to Eagle. What does the future hold for Eagle and Winter? Will the sparks fly, and a serious relationship start? The Fallen Eagles have taken on a case involving a serial murderer. Those that are being murdered fit Winter’s description. How much danger is she in? Read this book to find out. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are in this story. Many of them were introduced in the first book in the series. There are plenty of interactions and bantering that goes on. I like the feeling of family and home that the story gives you as well as the close friendships that you read about. My emotions went up and down along with the characters and I found myself caring about what happens to them. This is a wonderful second book in the series and I look forward to reading the next one.

The story The Mother-in-Law by Judy Moore is a book that I loved reading. It is suspenseful and had times when I was turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. I got hooked into the story early on and didn’t want to put it down until I had finished reading it. I enjoyed reading about the main character and how she is so happy when she marries. She is looking forward to the future. Then she meets her mother-in-law. From there she goes through many different emotions as she works to adapt and start her new life. This character is one that I could have empathy for as she starts to become overwhelmed and she begins to uncover secrets about her new family. She has doubts and suspicions. The mother-in-law in this story is harsh with her speech and makes life uncomfortable for those around her. This is a story that had me on the edge of my seat. There is intense dialogue and situations. If you are looking for a thrilling book to read, look no further.

Surviving Eden is the first book in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. This is my first book byMs. Wine, but definitely won’t be the last. I’m really looking forward to reading the next book in this series. This forbidden romance is full of mystery, suspense and drama. Eden and Theo’s story is highly emotional and even though Theo is Eden’s doctor the chemistry between the two is pulling them together. Both characters are strong and have not had the ideal life, will they be able to overcome the doctor/patient stigma and find true happiness? Thi twists and turn throughout this book will have you wondering what is coming next. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Snatching Dianna is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series by Seelie Kay. This is the first book I have read by this author, but I’m definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series. This short story is full of action, suspense, drama and a little romance. I was hooked on this book from the beginning and couldn’t put it down until I finished. As Janet and Cade, along with the entire police department race to find the missing Law School student, Dianna, before it is too late, it is the small clues that will guide them on their journey. This story is engaging and the characters are true to life. The book made me feel like I was right there chasing after the bad guys. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
Beats of the Heart by Charli B. Rose 5 out of 5 stars
This story ends in a cliffhanger and also contains friends-to-lovers with second chances, heartbreak, loss, friendship, stardom, heart-ache, emotion, drama, mystery, and more. Beats of the Heart is the first book in Dawson and Izzy’s story written by Charli B. Rose and it’s the first book that I have read by this author. The characters are amazing and realistic and I loved their quirky ways. The plot was great and the descriptions of the places this author wrote about brought the story more realistic. You could see pretty quickly Dawson love and his devotion. Izzy was a good heroine, trying to be supportive of her man’s career and dream while still solidifying her own identity. (Even when the insecurities would come out)…. What happened to Lizzie? Why did Dawson flake on Lizzie?
I would write more but I really don’t want to give anything away… I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read book two… By Tracy @tracym

This is the second book I’ve had the pleasure of reading from this author. I appreciate the different cultures she presents to her readers and the creative voice she uses to do so. This book was beautifully crafted with solid characters, quick pace, and rich detail. I found the plot to be charming, witty, and fun. The characters were relatable and flawed. Overall, this short book felt rich and full. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and will gladly recommend it to others.

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 by Joyce McCarthy is a collection of short stories of the erotica genre that are guaranteed to stoke your fires from beginning to end. Filled with stories exploring lust, chance encounters, dark fantasies, and more this book is more than able to get every readers’ dark side ready to party. Following the story of Brad, a college student, we get to see him travel through different sexual encounters with various women living out the needs of a younger man with any woman that will have him. From older woman/younger to quickies in bar bathrooms this book will rev your engine while still keeping your interest with the story underneath the steam. Each story in this collection can be read on its own but the intertwining of the stories makes them all that much better, and while they are all rather short, they made for a great quickie read. If you are looking for a good book to light your fire without too much filler than this is the collection for you.
This beautiful tale was so honest and charged with emotion that I felt like I was walking with the characters through the pages. Although short in length, the story is rich in detail and fully developed. The author does a beautiful job with these characters and providing them with depth and realism. I felt this book stood on its own well as I had not read any other book in this series prior to this one. But I will now gladly go back and read the other books in the series. A short and wonderful read!

A Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is a five star novel. This is the third book in the Christmas Kiss series. I have loved every book in this series so far and am excited to read the next one. This is a stand-alone book and is a quick and easy read. Billie goes away to the big city for a new and exciting life and left her boyfriend behind. They eventually quit talking and move in different directions. When she comes home five years later she isn’t sure what to expect but it sure wasn’t the hostility from Leroy. Wondering if they will work through it and at least be able to be friends, Billie restores an old car in her father’s garage.

Definitely recommended.

Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander is an erotic romance collection and is suggested for readers 18 and above. It is a series of suspense, erotic romance and mystery, and one that will keep you blushing from head to toe while being on the edge of your seat. I highly suggest that this series be read in order, even though each book can stand alone, start reading with Fisher of Men, The Catch and finally Siren Call. Each book is incredibly unique, but they all build on each other. If you are looking for a great series, as well as a fantastic author, this is a series that you need to jump on now.
Fisher of Men
Fisher of Men is part of a new series by Phoebe Alexander called East Shore Swingers, and I was initially drawn to this story because the heroine, Leah, comes from Nebraska which is close to my hometown. The religious background of Leah comes to blows with the lifestyle of our hero Cap, who leads a life full of parties and good times. Leah wants a life with Cap, having put her trust and heart with him, but their lifestyles will have to find a way to mesh to give them both the happy ending they want. I really wanted to like this book more, and I hope that the other books in this series will be better, but I just couldn’t get passed the character Leah and how childish she was about certain things. This is the first book that I have read by Alexander, and I will definitely pick up books of hers in the future but this one just wasn’t a great fit for me
The Catch
The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in her Eastern Shore Swingers Series and it just keeps getting better and better. Following the story of the secret club for those who like a taste of darkness with their nightlife, and this is where we find our main characters Paisley Parker and Calvin Mitchell. Paisley is new to Ocean City and loves working for the club, but didn’t realize just how much the club awakes something inside of her. There is a confidence booster that comes when she walks into the club, and the stares that she gets from the male patrons just makes her feel even sexier. When Paisley meets a man that is going to want everything from her, her heart and her history, will she be able to resist the temptation to lean on someone other than herself? Calvin is an all-around good guy, business owner, smart and hot as all get out. When he starts to pursue Paisley he isn’t shy about his intensions or about his ability to win over her body to get to her heart. The more that Paisley attempts to push him away the more that he stays with her, determined to get the girl that took his breathe away. When Paisley’s past comes back to get to her, she finds that he turns to Calvin for help and he is willing to risk it all to keep her safe. Is there a future in the cards for these two wounded lovers? Will Calvin be able to prove to Paisley that he is in this for the long haul? Can she trust him enough to fall for him? Alexander really knows how to pack a punch with this book! Her characters and storyline will pull you in from the very beginning and you will find yourself unable to get over these two long after the book ends. While this book can be read as a standalone I totally recommend reading the book in series order, as characters from other books do make cameo appearances. Plus you can never have too many books! I can’t wait to see how this series continues to grow!
Siren Call
Siren Call by Phoebe Alexander is the third book in her Eastern Shore Swingers series and let me just say this series just keeps getting better and better. Following the story of Jessie Martinez and Sirena Home, we are reintroduced to The Factory and all the characters from both Fisher of Men and The Catch (books 1 & 2 of this series) all make appearances. Jessie is a police officer, with a deep love and appreciation for all the uniform stands for. When her friends ask her to keep an eye on the newest swinger to the club, Sirena, Jessie sees no problem with it. But the problem is, the more time that Jessie spends around Sirena the more that she is attracted to her. When passions run high, Jessie and Sirena could be burned up by the flames. Each book in this series were so well written, including deep understanding of each person’s psyche and what drives them in the lifestyle that they are in. Alexander obviously did her research on swingers, made sure to give great details on her characters, the storyline and everything in between. Seeing a FF romance was a great twist, as there aren’t many out there that are this well written. I have had the pleasure of reading this entire series, and I can’t wait to see with Alexander takes this series in the future. If you are looking for a great FF romance, a story about love or even just a story outside of your normal reading this is one that you need to pick up

I give Claiming Her Mates: Book One: (A paranormal shifter romance series) by Dia Cole, 4 stars.
Havana is just surviving. She never thought she would be stripping for a living, but it’s what she knows and she’s good at it. When a possible epidemic breaks out, she doesn’t know what to make of it. Then to make matters worse, three men who are hot enough to melt the North Pole walk into the club looking for her. They want to take her away, to safety they claim. Then they say they are doing this at her ex’s request. Should she really go with them? Is it really that bad? What does her lying creep of an ex want with her? And why is it she wants all three of the men who came for her? What happened to her resolve?
This is a great beginning to a series. It features many things that promise to be a hot and exciting series. I really like Havana. Down on her luck and no one to celebrate the holidays with, she is disheartened. But the men arrive, bringing excitement and possibilities with them. The men are great too. Each one is different but all appealing in their own way. Even if you are not big on multiple partners, you can understand where Havana is coming from. Although there is the constant struggle of each of the characters and their feelings, there is also the action of what is happening to those with virus. Plus the men having to obey both their alpha male and the sadistic Alpha female.
A hot paranormal romance with multiple partners, I highly recommend this book to those not afraid to read something different.

A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is a sweet light hearted read, that shows how one misunderstanding, and lack of communication can derail an otherwise pretty straightforward situation.
The fourth book in the Christmas Kiss series we follow a new set of MC’s, and their journey towards that cheesy Christmas love we’ve all come to know and love. I will say that as much as I did enjoy this read, it was a little slow moving at the start, and that misunderstanding lasted way longer than it needed to. If i was in that situation I would have asked, right away what Dan situation was. I wasn’t digging the whole childhood best friend thing and his inability to take no for a answer. There are some just bridges not worth saving, just let it burn to the ground.
Outside of that, this story matches the rest and has the same detailed and polished writing from the other books. The characters were pretty okay, a little too dreamed up on the looks department, but otherwise they had pretty solid personalities and in the long run felt real to me. I love the steady progress between Kat and Dan, even if I wanted to slap both of them more then once. Believe me when you read this… and you will..you are going to want to slap them as well.
Overall this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. It’s a light hearted, super cheesy read that will get all those good feels and, warms fuzzies turning.

I’m seriously scared to have teenage boys now after reading this. I didn’t I could be more freaked out about my kids growing up. The author put this in a male POV and it was an eye opener. I have read plenty of books were the male is lead. But this is a teenage boy. There thought process is so weird and dangerous. They bond over the craziest moments. Jackson was low key nerdy. He was also adorable. I felt he learned and grew a lot throughout the story. Everyone that came and left his life had a purpose in being there. This was a good story that shows a kid going through life and making all the mistakes we make as kids. This was my first book by this author and definitely not my last.

Souls Collide: Collide Series Book 3 by Kristina Beck is a fantastic and touching story that will hold you captivated and enthralled. It captivated both my heart and soul right from the moment two beautiful souls met and boy did they certainly collide. I was fully invested in these wonderful characters and their stories and loved, loved, loved their witty banter. There is a lot of emotions in this story and I for one felt every one of them right along with them from overwhelming joy to moments of sorrow and horror. There is never a dull moment and there is plenty, plenty of drama. Alexa is strong, sassy and full of charm and loves those close to her passionately. Kent angry and has built solid walls of protection due to loss and a disease that has changed his life. Somehow the charming and beautiful soul, Alexa calls to him and maybe, just maybe she will be the one who can heal him. This story has it all. Passion and drama, humor and suspense, darkness and light, compassion and healing and is a must read!
