We meet Elf who is just found out her best friend won’t be able to make it to the cabin with her for Christmas. Bad luck just seems to be following her. She is encouraged to go on by herself and have some time to herself.
Bad luck seemed to have become her middle name. She must’ve annoyed somebody somewhere, because everything was going wrong.
Now this is a city girl going into the country, not knowing how to run a generator or chop wood. But I do have to say she did the best she could. I had several LOL moments.
She meets Mr. and Mrs C and a cat she calls Sue. She also meets a mysterious man who she later learns is Rudy. These two don’t exactly get along the greatest in the beginning but you can feel something building between them. Have these two finally found the one?
If you’re looking for a quick, fun Holiday read this is the book for you. Allyson has done a great job with her writing and she pulls you right in. I look forward to reading more of the Christmas Kiss books in the series.

A Prickly Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the first of four in the Christmas Kiss series.
I’m going to honest, I’m not big on Christmas and the stories about it. I blame it on my childhood, but there was something about this book and series that drew me in. There are lots of Santa references throughout the story which are kind of corny but in that happy Christmasy way.
I liked Elf a lot, she was fiesty and not afraid to take of herself or be alone and I liked that a lit.
Rudi needed to meet a woman like Elf, he had been hurt in the past and let it effect him more than I think he realized.
Cute short story, totally worth the time spent reading it

In the small town of Golden Trail, PA, the Fallen Eagles MC isn’t just any group of veterans. They’re patrons of the community, the protectors of veterans and towns folk alike, and a motley group of world military-trained men and women.And their small town and the Philadelphia area aren’t afraid to call on the varied skills of this rough and ready crew to help out on a case or two.
Ten years ago, Kit Markham left her high school sweetheart, Lee Devereaux, behind to serve her country. The woman who returns is just a shadow of her former self. She might be the kickass Second of the Fallen Eagles MC, but she’s also damaged—and it’s an unbearable struggle at times, just to make it through the day. The only things that help are her veteran MC, the Fallen Eagles, her family, and long, quiet rides on the back of Lee’s bike.
Lee has his own share of war wounds, but none worse than the burden he’s taken on to see that the Kit he once knew finds herself again.
It’s been over two years since she returned home, and Lee still can’t find the girl he once loved in the woman who’s become so lost. He’s had it with being kept in the dark. He’s demanding answers—but he’s not the only one who’s interested in Kit’s past.
When local soldiers, veterans, and their families start getting threats from a team of blackmailers, Kit’s shocking history is revealed. A twist that has Lee reeling and wondering if what they once had is even salvageable.

A Prickly Chrtistmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott was a sweet read for me. Elf ends up stranded in a cabin in North Polerton. She was supposed to meet her friend Carla but she got held up with her family. Now Elf needs to learn how to build a fire to keep warm, learn how to get the water warm and run the generator. Before getting to the cabin she stops for food and meets a sweet older couple Mr & Mrs C. At the cabin she finds a cat that helps her with things. She ends up taking him in and once he is feeling sick, she brings him to the vet when she meets Rudi. Is this a Christmas miracle or what? I thought this book was well written and a cute, fast read for the holidays.

Hope’s Deceit is the second installment of the Fated Book series by Angela McPherson. I would highly recommend reading book 1 as this story takes off from the end of the book. Angela McPherson has had my interest from the first word of the series through the last word of this book. I felt like I have grown with Trinity. I like the fact that Trinity is growing up and understanding what is taking place and how her destiny is looking. Trinity and Blain are together and have found how they work out. I enjoyed reading about Trinity and Blain and I cannot wait to see where their story goes from here.

Beachcomber Gone is the ninth book in the Beachcomber Investigations Series by Stephanie Queen. Beachcomber Gone is a romantic suspense story that keeps you guessing. Dane and Shana work together in more ways then one. They go to Australia so Dane can finally meet Shana’s family. That does not go as they had planned. Unfortunately they find out Shana’s mom is being threatened. It is not what they expected. Will Shana and Dane figure out what is going on before something happens?
Another great book by Stephanie Queen in the Beachcomber Investigations series. Beachcomber Gone keeps you turning the page, because you do not want to stop reading. You want to find out what is going to happen next. The writing is engaging, descriptive and flows. The characters are well developed and believable. I definitely recommend Beachcomber Gone as well as the first eight books in the series.

Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 ( Boxed Set) By Phoebe Alexander. This is a great boxed set that will keep you reading well past your bedtime. They are books about The Factory, a swingers club in Ocean City, Maryland where people come from all over to play in different themed rooms and sometimes there is even romance thrown in. The first Book was my favorite but they are all amazing. Fisher of Men is the first book and its about Leah Miller who meets Chris “Cap” Sheldon who introduces her to “The Factory”. Leah is curious about the place but is afraid it conflicts with her Christian beliefs. Leah also struggles with feelings she develops for Cap. The 2nd book The Catch is about BBW burlesque dancer Paisley Parker becoming the manager of The Factory after Cap and Leah hand it over. She meets Internet guru Calvin Mitchell and sparks fly. The 3rd book Siren Call and its about Jesse Martinez who has always wanted to be a cop since she was little.

Beachcomber Gone by Stephanie Queen is the ninth book in the Beachcomber Investigations series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although we are introduced to these characters in previous books. For this reason I would recommend reading in order although it isn’t necessary. This book has a little bit of everything. It has the romance. It has the action. It has emotions. It has a well written and thought it story. And most importantly it has main characters that you want to read about. The author pulls you into their story from the moment you start reading them, be it in this book or previous books. The story developed suits them and the way they are makes it more exciting to read. The book is fast paced and takes you, as the reading, an exciting journey. This is a great book and a brilliant series.
Venganza: The Fuentes Legacy by Greta Cribbs is a dark and twisted story of how you can’t always escape your family ties, no matter how hard you try. The authors pulls you deep into this book and has you captivated from the word go. As a prequel to the Fuentes Legacy series this book tells the story of Damien and Jenn. I loved the detail the author goes into with the book and the complexity of the story. It adds a depth to the book in a way that I’ve not read for a while. An overall great book.

“The Devil has a seductively sweet, sinister song that tantalizes the soul to its very core. It sings more sweetly when your soul has been tainted like mine.”
…..”The nights the Devil starts to sing his lullaby is when I start to question how much longer she can hide from all of it before she’s swallowed whole by the darkness.”
The Killmores is the highly anticipated second, and final book in the Killmore Series by Martha Sweeney. It is an intense, action-packed romantic suspense- with danger, drama, conflict, passion, friendship, love, camaraderie/brotherhood, family bonds, and some humour. This book has been 2 years in the making, and I must admit that I wasn’t sure it would be worth the wait- or live up to my expectations. But I can honestly say that it was definitely well worth the wait. It had me completely hooked, biting my nails and on the edge of my seat, while everything unfolded. I was so caught up in the story that I devoured it over the course of an afternoon/evening. As we discovered in the first book, Laurie had been placed in witness protection by the FBI. She was their ‘inside-man’ and informant on a notorious crime lord and his drug and human trafficking ring. Then years later the FBI show up in her life again, asking for help in an investigation. Aiden is one of the agents tasked with the dangerous assignment. They need Laurie as her help. As the investigation mounts, and they spend time together, feelings develop, and Laurie and Aiden soon find themselves in a romantic relationship. There is much danger and action throughout the first book- things I won’t go into because I don’t want to spoil it for you if you haven’t read it yet. I will say that if you haven’t read book one yet, you really need to do so before starting on this one as there is a bridging storyline- and you need to know all the details from the first book in order to fully appreciate and understand everything in this book. Book two picks up a few months after the first book finished. Laurie and Aiden are travelling the world in an effort to stay one step ahead of Laurie’s past. They move around a lot, never staying in one place for very long. Laurie is haunted by her past, paranoia has set in and she’s always looking over her shoulder. She’s on edge all the time and won’t allow herself to fully relax. This makes her a little difficult to live with and Aiden is so supportive and understanding throughout it all…And she really doesn’t make it easy for him at times. So, what happens when their worst fears are realised, and Laurie finally comes face to face with her past. Will Aiden be able to rescue her, or will he be too late? You really should read this brilliant book/series and find out all the thrilling details for yourself. This story has so much action, mystery, drama and suspense- that I ended up in a page flipping frenzy in my attempts to find out what would happen next. There were clever twists that I just didn’t see coming. It was definitely an unputdownable read! The characters are all so well developed; having their own quirks, flaws, and personalities. Laurie really frustrated me with her attitude and being so difficult to get along with- I understand why she was like that, but I still wanted to shake her at times, as the push-pull was a bit much. Aiden was so patient with her- swoon! Ms. Sweeney infused this story with quite a lot of intensity, emotion, suspense, sizzle, and humour. I liked the funny banter and quips, especially between Aiden, Mark and DJ. The “Fake ID” scene was hilarious, as was the names they gave their missions. I think this series would make a great movie, or Television mini-series! I definitely recommend this book and I can’t wait to see what Ms. Sweeney does next!

Healing Danger by Maddie Wade was an intriguing read. I liked being able to start this book and immerse myself within the pages. I loved the pull that each character had, their struggles and their journey. I enjoyed reading the romance that bloomed within the storyline. I’m glad to say that I can’t wait to read more books by Wade. This was a definite 4 Star book for me.
Wow!! This book picks right where the first one leaves off, so if you haven’t read Hope’s Decree I encourage you to do so. This book is just as awesome as the first one, there is unexpected twists and turns, action, suspense, romance, and everything else you could want in a great read! I don’t want to give anything away so let me just say as soon as I picked up this book I could not stop reading. I needed to know what happens with Trinity, Blain, Morpheus, and their friends. Will the light win over the darkness? Is Trinity up for the challenge? I enjoyed watching her grow in this story and experience even more of her powers. The ending, all I can say is OMG, I need to read book 3 now!! I highly recommend this wonderful read.
Dane and Shana find trouble where ever they go! Of course they can’t just take a simple visit to see her family. And they’re engaged but I want their wedding! I’m greedy like that. Things get crazy when they get to Australia, an old crime is trying to pin itself to them, and the news spreads the lies. See? Crazy. I like Shana’s brother, I feel like it would be fun to read more about him. Lots of action, adventure, and surprises in book 9.

Beachcomber Gone is the ninth book in the Beachcomber Investigation series. It can be read as a standalone, although there are personal elements to the characters that are left open-ended.
This book has a little bit of everything-danger, romance, action, mystery, and drama. It is a quick and entertaining read.
When Shana is in danger unexpectedly, Dane has to figure out who to trust as he sets out to find help her. Unfortunately, saving Shana from the current peril may mean that Dane has to give her up. After everything they’ve been through, will this be the thing that finally does them in?
A Pink Christmas Kiss (Christmas Kiss Book 3) by Allyson R. Abbott
5 Stars
I loved this part of this series. I think this is my favorite so far and that’s saying a lot because I loved the first two.
This was a super quick read that grabbed me from page 1 and although it is so short is was full of content, but not so full that it felt crammed in. If I had one complaint about this story it’s just that it ended and I would have loved to have seen this story play out in a full length novel. I loved Billie, she was completely awesome and the fact that she had a job that is different then most made it that much more appealing to me. I loved the sense of family in this story and the small town feel. There was only a small glance into Leroy’s life and what we did learn explained a lot about how these two ended up where they were at that time. Its that total lack of communication thing. I actually liked how their first couple meetings went after not seeing each other for years..those meetings are normally all sweet and beautiful but these I actually had to shake my head and laugh at how these two handled it.
Again I feel like a broken record but I sincerely love anything this author writes..She’s an automatic one click for me, if her name is there I read it!

This was a super fast fun read that I totally enjoyed. It was different than I was expecting and I’m completely happy with that.
This had a bit of a different storyline that made it even more enjoyable and for me anything Christmas is a winner. It moved along at a super quick pace that really didn’t seem that way. The writing was flawless and the characters were fun. I do wish there had been more time for some character building, but in saying that I still loved them. I also loved that there was just enough time in this short read for the business deal part of the story.
I loved Jake and he made me laugh with his inner dialogue about children and Gladdie was completely awesome. LOL
Awesome book and I can’t wait to look into what else this author has available.

Reckless – A Steamy Contemporary Romance Anthology is a collection of four books written by uber talents, Mika Jolie, Kylie Stewart, P. M. Carson and Sharla Lovelace. These stories were concise, beyond desirable, and left nothing unsaid. And although short, they were incredibly witty, charming, and made quite an impression. Each story shone in originality and quality. So much said, in so few words. It is unforgettable how well these stories were orchestrated. I have read Mika Jolie stories before, but the other authors were new to me. With them, I have now added more to a never ending to be read list.
Mika Jolie – Layla’s Chance P. M. Carson – Dirty Martinis Kylie Stewart – Into the Deep Sharla Lovelace – The Spy Who Kissed Me
This anthology is a spicy steamer that drags you in, captivates you, and leaves you in smiling satisfaction. Characters to endlessly entertain. Storylines to keep you riveted to the edge of bliss. Authors to render you speechless with immeasurable talent. What more could a book lover ask for? I could not get enough and these stories will be getting read again and again. 5 stars.

Paladin’s Hell is the first book in the new Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) crossover Series by Manda Mellett. I didn’t know if I was going to ‘like’ the new ‘chapter’- but these two characters have intrigued me since we met them back in book #3, ‘Slick Running”. It’s bee quite a wait to get their story, and now that I have read it, I can honestly say that it was worth waiting for. I was also surprised to get four POV’s through this story- but that did give a great insight to what was happening and what the characters were thinking. Hellfire and Moira are older, and a little world weary- Jayden and Paladin are young, their relationship is still in the ‘new’ phase- so it was interesting to see these two couple each deal with their own trials and tribulations and watch them through the highs and lows of it all. I think this contrast was quite a clever idea and very well-constructed by Ms. Mellett. I loved following along on this story- these guys have been through so much (especially Jayden), and my heart ached for them…. as I have come to expect from Ms. Mellett, there was a lot more to this story than it first appears. Her stories are always unpredictable, with twists and surprising developments, and this one was no different- taking me on a ride I won’t soon forget! She had me reading with bated breath, devouring every page to discover what would happen next. There was action, drama, danger, suspense, emotion, heat & sizzle, brotherhood, camaraderie, a great storyline, wonderful characters, and much more…. If you love a really well written, original, and riveting MC story- with complex, interesting and endearing characters- then this is definitely the book for you! I can’t wait to read Demons story!

Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel by Lynda Filler Five Stars
Shoot Me: A Lie To Me Novel is the second book in the Lie To Me Series by Lynda Filler. I didn’t read the first book which left me feeling like I was missing part of the story, so I highly recommend you read this series in order. I will definitely be going back and reading the first book, even so, this book had me hooked from the first page. This fast paced adventure held my attention from beginning to end. I love the way Ms. Filler brings the characters to life and the detailed descriptions had me feeling like I was right there in Mexico with them. Layla is trying to get over Mateo and finds herself in the path of a few young men. What’s a girl to do? I enjoyed this book completely and look forward to going back and reading the first book in the series.

I absolutely loved this second chance romance. Billie and Leroy were a fun couple to read about.Their issues in communicating are completely relatable. I love that family means everything to both of these characters. They are willing to put them first. There is a host of great secondary characters that really support the story such as Billie’s parents (especially her dad) and Billie’s best friend, Lucy. I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed, and I wished it could’ve been longer. However, it is a great story that I really loved reading!!

Never Let Me Fall (Fatal Dreams #3) by Abbie Roads is another great book in the Fatal Dreams series where the legend continues. It is a supernatural story that is full of darkness and suspense, pain and suffering, destiny and love. Each book is about couples that are bound by a legend where they are destined to be together. Where the connection together is life long and undeniable. This series is one of my favourites and is a compelling and engrossing read that you can not put down until you know how it ends. Abbie is very very good at writing something so dark but also so sweet.
Helena is living a life not of her making. Being accused of something she didn’t do but no one believes her. Freedom is not far away but can she survive long enough to get there. Thomas is damaged and lived through a horrific and tragic past by a monster that he has to live with every day.
All it takes is one look, and their lives change in a way neither of them would have ever thought. If only they can defeat the monster that won’t let go. If only they can escape from the dark.
Even though there is a lot of dark content in this story it is one that grips your heart to the point of tears and makes you hope against hope that these beautiful broken people find peace and love in their lives.

This love found in unexpected places was a fun read.This story is about Mel and Lucas. Mel finds herself in a position of caring for her aunt’s house in Spain. However, the trip was an unexpected one and the job not exactly what she thought. Mel also doesn’t speak spanish. Lucas is sweet and quick to help out even without understanding. I definitely loved reading about them and the progress of their relationship. Allyson Abbott does a wonderful job with pulling her readers in and with character development. She writes great secondary characters as well.

A Pink Christmas Kiss By Allyson R. Abbott. These books are just getting better and better. I have absolutely loved them all so far. Are you a fan of Christmas romance stories that give you all the warm and fuzzy emotions? Then pick up this book as well as the authors other ones! From page one of Billie’s story I knew it was a bit different in a good way and that I wasn’t going to be able to put it down until I read the last page. Billie isn’t your typical girly girl and I absolutely love that! This book is filled with her journey back home and the importance of family. I was completely drawn into this story and loved every moment of it. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone!

Fisher of Men Fisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander is book one of the Eastern Shore Swingers Series. This book is an erotic romance and is suggested for readers 18+.
This book is Leah Miller and Captain “Cap” Chris Sheldons story. Leah was raised with strict Christian values and her family really expected her to follow their footsteps in the ministry. Leah wanted more though. She wanted to branch out from the Midwest so she ended up on the East Coast. After college she accepts a job at The Pearl and that’s where she meets Cap. She didn’t realize it at first but she meets Cap at a swingers party and though she has strong feelings for him, she’s having a hard time reconciling his lifestyle with her Christian values. Will Cap be able to set aside his lifestyle for a relationship with Leah or will Leah be able to look passed her faith at something new?
I enjoyed this book just as I have other books by this author. There was so much emotion and inner turmoil you could almost feel Leah’s struggle. The characters are so well written you can’t help but feel invested in them which really sucks you into the story. I can’t wait to see what the next book has in store!
The Catch The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is book two of the Eastern Shore Swingers Series. This book can be read as a standalone. This book is really intended for readers 18+ due to subject content. I was pleasantly surprised to find out when I started reading that this book is pretty suspenseful. It definitely adds some layers to the book that really keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens.
As with book one, this book invites you to join the characters at a very specific type of club and the book really does a great job detailing the club and it’s activities so you feel like you’re right there. Paisley is very self-assured. She draws people in with that trait. She manages to draw Calvin in and it’s truly the last thing she wants. Relationships aren’t for her and she stands pretty firm on that. Will Paisley be able to rely on someone other than herself when he past comes back when she least expects it? Will Calvin be able to protect Paisley and convince her of their future?
Paisley doesn’t avoid relationships for no good reason. She tries to stand her ground as a way to protect Calvin just as Calvin is protective of her. I really enjoyed the depth the characters had and the chemistry between them. Paisley felt so real. She was flawed but she was aware of it and knew it was something she needed to work on for herself. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next book.
Siren Call Siren Call by Phoebe Alexander is book three of the Eastern Shore Swingers Series. This book can be read as a standalone. Similar to the first two, it’s intended for readers 18+. This is the first female/female book I’ve read but, it was written very well.
Jessie has always wanted to be a police officer. She’s good at what she does and she loves it. She first meets Sirena when asked to keep an eye on her. Jessie immediately feels protective of Sirena. Sirena is pretty quiet and doesn’t open up much to people. The attraction between the two is almost instantaneous but Jessie pushes to keep things professional as much as possible. Eventually, they may be able to put their pasts and differences aside and find friendship and love in one another.
These characters are deep and complex. One of the differences in the characters is their age and I was able to relate to that so I felt pulled into the characters. This book was very well written and I can’t wait to continue to series.
