I have to say that I was intrigued by Only This Tuesday by Melissa Keir. It was slightly different than what I’m used to, but that’s not to say that I was opposed to it. I loved the way that the author created these characters and their storylines. I absolutely loved the feel of sweet romance that I got from this book, and couldn’t wait to see what the end result was. More than anything, I enjoyed that it evoked several emotions from me while reading – that is what I love reading. This was definitely a 4 Star Book!!

THE CHANGEUP (a resort romance novel book 6) by Mary Billiter
Four Stars
The Changeup is filled with a lot of mystery and drama. It wasn’t really exciting but it did have me wanting to know what happened. Rebel really got my interest. She is living two lives and is have almost an identity crisis. I liked how she had no filter about what she thought and how she wanted to be treated. Rebel said what she thought and it was refreshing. McCutie was also a favorite he plays a great knight in a delivery uniform lol. I would’ve like to see more character development and background. The side characters were great I like Da Nise lol. I couldn’t get over that part. Ria seems like a very likable but insecure character. Over all I enjoyed it for what it was.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott 5 out of 5 stars A Tangy Christmas kiss is the second book in this series written by Allyson Abbott. Is a wonderful romantic holiday book. It weaves a story that has you laughing and feeling the magic and romance in others through the holidays. It also shows the importance of family and what you would do for family. The characters are amazing…. The plot is great and I love the description and details this author puts into her story/stories. They feel so believable that I had a hard time putting this book down. Mel, gets a call from her mother requesting, that she flies to Spain to house sit for her aunt. To be honest, she’s glad for a change of scenery after recent turn of events with her latest boyfriend, and she is looking forward to Christmas in the sun, planning to spend many days on the beach. Let the fun begin. The journey takes forever due to misunderstanding of the different timelines and consequently Mel misses her ‘handover’ of tasks and a lift from her aunt. Jetlag, lack of the Spanish language and having no knowledge of geography of Spain, all she has is her aunt’s address, a headache and an overwhelming urge to sleep. While on her flight she meets an extremely sexy Spanish passenger who is seated next to her on her flight. He takes her under his wing to make sure she arrives safely and stays to help her out, even though he only speaks Spanish, so Mel has no idea what he is talking about. But hey, you can’t turn away a great looking man in your hour of need! As things turn bad to worse, she now doubles up on handsome hero’s, as her aunt’s friendly (extremely gorgeous and English speaking) neighbor, decides that it is he, who should be helping, not the interloper from the airplane. Mel should have question why her mother couldn’t go? Why her mother is never there when she calls? And why her aunts needs a house-sitter for a bungalow on the beach? You need to read this awesome story and find out what happens to Mel and her men. Who will she pick can she even decide? By Tracy @tracym

Brooke May’s A Second Chance is the first book in the Powder River Pack series. This story is a paranormal contemporary romance featuring shifters. The author quickly sets the scenes and begins with character introductions along with some backstory to give the story more detail and depth. There was something about Derek’s character throughout the story that just spoke to me and pushed me through chapter after chapter. Annabelle is Derek’s other have and seeing the struggle along with the back and forth that ensues, it pulls at the heartstrings. Brooke May really drew on the emotional card to create a captivating story that introduces the start of what is bound to be an enthralling series.

Beats of the Heart is the first book in a new series called Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series. While it’s the first book, it seems as if there is a lot of information that would have been written in a prequel. The author does explain that the story doesn’t start at the beginning of their relationship so we are clued in from the start.
The story is about first love, that first love that you think is going to last forever. It is told in present and past tense and from dual POV’s.
The characters are evolving through the story and I look forward to watching their story conclude.
In addition to the story, this book has an amazing sound track. I always enjoy listening to the music an author envisions in their story. I have this one downloaded and listen on shuffle

I was nineteen when I became Jayden’s knight in shining armour, her Paladin. At only fourteen, she developed a teenage crush on me, the man who rescued her. I gave her time to grow, waiting for her feelings to mature. As years, when I was forbidden to touch her, passed, I never doubted she was mine. I just wasn’t allowed to show it. Circumstances send us to Colorado, away from the restrictions and over-protective brothers. At last we have a chance to be together. What could be better? What could be worse? A new club. A new life. Out of my depth, I don’t fit in. A different president and his old lady who’ve been married thirty-six years. That their marriage is on shaky ground spills over into how they treat us. For some reason, Hellfire and Moira want to force Jayden and I apart. Jay and I are just beginning. Or, is it the end? After all this time, will we make it work? Or have the years I’ve spent waiting been wasted?
After commuting for too many years to London working in various senior management roles, Manda left the rat race and now fulfills her dream and writes fulltime. She draws on her background in psychology, the experience of working indifferent disciplines and personal life experiences in her books. Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of North Essex with her husband and two slightly nutty Irish Setters. Walking her dogs gives her the thinking time to come up with plots for her novels, and she often dictates ideas onto her phone on the move, while looking over her shoulder hoping no one is around to listen to her. Manda’s other main hobby is reading, and she devours as many books as she can. Her biggest fan is her gay son (every mother should have one!). Her favourite pastime when he is home are the late night chatting sessions they enjoy, where no topic is taboo, and usually accompanied by a bottle of wine or two.

Beauty, brains, and money. Alexa has it all, and luck is her middle name. She’s the first to defend her family and friends and never needs help in return. Men fall at her feet—except the abrasive police officer Kent, who seems to despise her. But a series of strange events punctures her protective bubble, exposing her to fear and self-doubt. She doesn’t know who she should be more afraid of, her unknown pursuer or the sudden protective, softer side of the officer.
Kent has watched the women he loves the most in his life suffer unbearably, unable to save them himself, and now he refuses to get close to anybody. To most people, he’s a heartless, angry cop without a soft interior. Until one stormy day, fate teases him with a warm ray of Alexa’s sunshine, melting a piece of his icy heart. Kent believes he hates her, but when her brightness dims, his hate turns into something else. Something he refuses to let another person take away from him, especially the stranger lurking in the shadows.

This is the first book I have read from this author and now she has a new fan. I love a good small town romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This book is anything but small it has everything a real story has and more. I could not stop reading this book. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters. It only took me a little over an hour to devour this amazing story.
Tuesday Benson moved to Copper Mills to get a fresh new start on life. She lost her mother, business, and her boyfriend. When she finds out that her boyfriend did the ultimate betrayal she had no choice but to move. Tuesday loves the small town life. She owns her own little food truck that is taking off really well. Tuesday is way too busy to keep up with everything so she hires a boy to help her. One day she is shopping for some ingredients and she runs into a very handsome man. She doesn’t realize that she runs into the mayor Blake Rogers. Tuesday doesn’t understand why she keeps on thinking about Blake but he keeps on showing up in her life. Will Tuesday have the right ingredients to make real love come to life or will their pasts break them apart?
I absolutely loved this book. This storyline has it all romance, drama, and humor. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Tuesday is a beautiful woman that has a heart of gold. She doesn’t want to get hurt so she puts her walls up. Blake is a perfect gentleman. He is a very powerful man but he doesn’t take it for granted. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This author brings up some delicate moments but she does it so beautifully it will make your heart melt. I can’t wait to see what is next for this small town.

A Prickly Christmas Kiss, by Allyson R. Abbott, is a seasonal treat for the holiday season. The character names, location and theme truly give a feel for the holiday season. From the beginning, the author has provided a story that just blankets you with the pages as you read. From the soul(s) that are disenchanted, to the paths that feel as if fate is pushing forward, and just the magical time of year – it all adds together to give this story just the perfect mix of warmth and seasonal joy. The addition of some comedic moments throughout gave just enough to the story not to feel over done. I absolutely adored ELF’s character and her personality, she really made this story fun, as well as, all the supporting characters.

Degrees of Control (A Prestian Series Book 3) by Via Mari 4 stars
Another great installment to this series. While Kat and Chase try to move forward after her declining of Chases proposal, other events from previous books are now coming to a head. I really liked this book but I also want more from Chase. I need in his head! I get the protectiveness in some cases but sometimes its over the top and I want to know why. And the whole fiasco in this book that Kat went through could’ve been avoided if he just spoke to her. The spark between these two is undeniable and I can understand the pull Kat feels and why she just can’t stay away. The heart wants what it wants regardless of what your head is saying to you. I cant wait to see how this series ends and if we will get the happy ending they desperately need! Keep them coming!

This is my first book by this author and I completely fell in love with it. The storyline although something I hope I never have to understand aside from reading about it was awesome and the writing style had me at word one.
This had a mixture of all the feels, I smiled, I even laughed a bit here and there, it had sadness, confusion, and my favorite determination. This author took me on a journey through watching your life get totally turned upside down and everything it took to right itself again. The emotions she had Lia feeling came through loud and clear and I felt them all. Lia was an amazing character and has now been added to my list of favorites.
One thing my husband and I pride ourselves on is our communication skills and we are both believers in it being the only key to a successful marriage and if that had just been practiced in this story, well…… then there might not have been a story so I’m glad it turned out like it did. LOL
This was a fantastic book and I can’t wait to see what else is available by this author and am so confused as to why I haven’t read any of her books before now.

5 Star A Prickly Christmas Kiss By Allyson Abbott is an amazingly wonderful Christmas Romance short story that I absolutely loved. I couldn’t put it down once I started. It’s very heart warming story about Emma aka Elf. Instead of Elf dealing with her family and the questions she knows they will ask, she decides to spend two weeks in a cabin with her best friend. When her friend can’t come what will Elf do? Will she stay or leave? Will she be able to learn to build a fire and survive the storm? Elf has some company, a stray cat has decided to keep her company. When the local vet stops by what happens? Can Elf stay away from him? There is definitely attraction. Find out what happens with Elf. I highly recommend reading this book. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

The Killmores (A Killmore novel) by Martha Sweeney 4 Stars!!!!
Wow is what comes to mind first. This is the second book in the series and I was not disappointed. I was just glued to the pages to see how things would unfold. The author really has a refreshing style and the world she has created really grabs you and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The chemistry between Aiden and Laurie just heats up more in this book and the drama that unfolds around them really adds to the whole dynamic. I was drawn in as Laurie’s past comes back into play and how things get resolved. The whole undertone of the book of the mob and corruption really just adds to the story. I found myself really routing for Aiden and Laurie. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
A Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R Abbott is the third book in her Christmas Kiss series. Each of these books can be read as a stand-alone and they are all as good as each other. For me this has to have been the sweetest story out of them all so far. Small town romance gone wrong. It had everything you could want out of this type of book. Billie and Leroy are exactly how I imagine small town characters to be. Like the others, this book was an easy read, that was perfect to just get lost in for a few hours. Another enjoyable story.

Only This Tuesday: A Copper Mills novella by Melissa Keir is a quick and easy read. A Mayor and a Taco Truck owner, there shouldn’t be any problems there. However throw in a bit of controversy and a lot of small town gossip and things won’t be quite so plain sailing. This was a completely new author for me and I have to say I enjoyed the easy, flowing style that her writing showcased. The characters were enjoyable and relatable and the story was a fun and interesting one. This was a relatively quick read but it never felt like I was missing anything from the story. This was a great book and I am looking forward to seeing more of Melissa’s work.

“Rhapsody and Rebellion: Once Upon a Widow” is a lovely story surrounding multiple riots in England and Scotland in the late 18th century. Our hero, Gideon, Earl of Stanfeld, has to take his recently widowed mother, Maeve, back to her home in the Scottish Highlands following a disturbing dream. There he meets the young widow to his cousin, the lovely Alisabeth. I stumbled upon this book recently and hesitated reading it as I don’t normally like to start a series in the middle, however this is not your normal book series. All of the books are written by different authors and occupy different times of the same family line so the books aren’t necessarily in order or follow the same people. The foreward recommends reading the first book to understand the series, but I feel Aubrey Wynne did a wonderful job explaining the back story necessary to understanding her story. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters in this book, especially the headstrong Scottish women! Alisabeth, Maeve and the other women in the family were a joy to read about! They are bold and unashamed by it and I loved it! I also loved the family connection that is shared between select members (I don’t want to give anything away but it is a really neat touch to the story as it is the underlying theme through the series.) All in all, this historical fiction was right up my alley and now I’m itching to read more about this family! So, I give “Rhapsody and Rebellion” five stars!

I loved this story. It was heart warming and well written, the characters offer so much and the chemistry between these characters was great. I loved the way the author tackled some of the quite topically subjects, that how she does not preach but gives both sides of each characters point of view. This is the first book I have read by this author, I will definitely be reading more in the future.

“Remember, fear keeps you from being who you truly are. Embrace your fate.”
Hopes Deceit is the second book in The Fated series by Angela McPherson. This is a spellbinding fantasy, with paranormal elements, Greek Mythology, a Curse, Immortals, Light and dark, good vs evil, mystery, drama, destiny, action, adventure, suspense, danger, intrigue, magic, and some romance. This incredible story is woven around the legend of Pandora’s Box and it’s a wonderfully original and exciting read! As I said in my review of the first book, this story/series definitely has a ‘Percy Jackson’ feel to it, and would make an exciting television series. We catch up with Trinity, Blain and the rest of the cast as the story picks up not long after the events of book one ended. They are still coming to terms with what happened and almost losing everything during their confrontation with Melia. Trinity is still adjusting to her powers. She worries that things are changing, within herself, with Blain, her family and friends. Some things come as shocking revelations, while others she’s not quite sure how to ‘fix’ it. With an evil ‘darkness’ making its presence known, Trinity will have to utilise all her training and new-found ‘power’ if they are to defeat the threat, and survive. I absolutely love Ms. McPherson’s books, and this series has become one of my absolute favourites, ever!! From the incredible world building, to the wonderful mythology that was woven through the story- this book really gave me an exciting reading experience that I didn’t want to end. The characters are really superb- so well developed and given ‘life’ by Ms. McPherson- and were crafted into fully realised individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. Trinity learns quite a lot over the course of this story, about herself, Blain, her family, and friends- I loved seeing her continue to grow and develop as the story unfolds. As with the first book, Ms. McPherson was so imaginative and clever in creating this plot/series- adding lots of seemingly small, intricate, and inter-connected details that built the mystery, suspense and tension of the story so incredibly well. I spent a lot of the time on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen and trying to put all the pieces together. Then there were the surprising developments and twists which added another layer of intrigue and excitement to the whole. My mind was reeling trying to predict how the story would play out! And that ending…. OMG!!! The story is set to continue in Book #3, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!! Pure perfection!!!!

Abbott – Review by Angela Hayes
The Debt Collector is An Underground Bad Boy Romance by India Kells. OMG!! This Book was such an awesome read! Ms. Kells is one of my favourite authors, so when I saw this book it was an instant ‘one-click’, I didn’t even bother reading the blurb- so to say this book surprised me is a bit of an understatement! It wasn’t what I had been expecting- it was so much MORE! This has a ménage/threesome aspect to the story, which I don’t normally go out of my way to hunt down, not that I don’t like them- it’s just really hard to find a good one. This is one of the exceptions- wonderfully written, with sizzlingly HOT encounters, drama, danger, pleasure, pain, heartache, intrigue, suspense, and romance. I devoured it in a couple of hours, loving every minute and not wanting it to end. There is more to this story than just lust and the ménage- there is a ‘deeper’ story, with beautifully flawed characters fighting their demons and looking for some redemption. The characters really brought this story to life and gave it a believability. One thing I have learned about Ms. Kells’ stories is that things are never simple, there are always layers and complexities to be revealed. And there is definitely a lot more to Locke (and Gage) than is first apparent. He is quite complex- with a back-story that made my heart ache for what he’d been through. I don’t want to say too much, and give anything away, because you really should read all the incredible details for yourself- you really won’t be disappointed!! I can’t wait to read more of this series!

Rhapsody and Rebellion is the seventh book in the series but can be a stand-alone book by Aubrey Wynne. This is a historical romance book with drama, suspense, and second chances. There must have been research done by Aubrey Wynne to be able to write with such clarity with in the time period of this book. I am not one who likes to learn about history because of all the dates but I find this historical romance different. It is interesting when you see the history through another set of eyes. This story is about Alisabeth and Ian then Alisabeth and Gideon. Alisabeth is betrothed to Ian from the day she was born. She became best friends and from there the relationship went into marriage. However, Ian was not long for this world as he was killed one year during a battle and Alisabeth became a widow. An English Lord, Gideon enters into Alisabeth’s life and starts to court her. What becomes of that relationship I will leave you to read about it. It is a heart-felt read and it is beautiful written. It makes me want to read more book by Aubrey Wynne.

Rhapsody and Rebellion by Aubrey Wynne is her contribution to a historical romance series Enduring Legacy where multiple writers contribute with their historical stories. It is my first encounter with this writer and I am sure that when I crave some historical romance, I will check out her other writings … AND the Enduring Legacy series itself as even though all the stories are supposedly standalones, they apparently have a common undertone/theme … It has been a while since I picked up a historical romance and the story of Earl Gideon and Alisabeth (Lissie) was a beautiful gem to enjoy after such a long time! It was story wrought of differences and contradictions – Scots vs English, stiff upper lip and running wild, nobility and social activism … add to this unexpected attraction, legends and characters that you cannot help but fall in love with. Loved the historical details, the tapestry the writer weaves … pure joy! I have always loved Scotland and the way she tells the story … I could close my eyes and picture it in my mind … If you love history and romance and especially the conflict between the Scots and the English … this book is for you! Enjoy it!

I love reading post-apocalyptic books. I love the thrill and mystery that they give. Alive was my first experience by Courtney Konstantin, and let’s just say that I was impressed with the book and world development. I liked how easy it was for me to dive in with the characters, and feel their emotions through the pages. I kept finding myself at the edges of my seat, twisting my fingers trying to find out what would happen next. This was definitely a 4 Star Book for me.

I love a good historical romance story so when I read the blurb for this book I knew that I was going to enjoy it and I certainly did. I loved everything about this book, the era, the storyline and the characters. I’ve not read anything by this author previously so it was definitely exciting to find a new author of historical romance to love. Gideon was everything I expected of the male lead in this story and especially from this time period too. The authors writing was really good, her attention to detail in particular – I really felt like I could visualise what I was reading and I love this with this type of story. I really liked Alisabeth too, she was a great character and I loved reading the story between her and Gideon. I think any lover of historical romance will enjoy this story and I highly recommend it! I am looking forward to reading more from this series and more from this author again in the future.

I loved this story! It was such a sweet romance story between two wonderful characters. Tuesday was a genuinely lovely person, the way she was with Gil melted my heart. She saw the potential in him and wanted to give him a chance! Before I even knew where the storyline was headed and we were introduced to the characters separately I knew that I wanted Tuesday and Blake to meet! The way Judith treated Blake made me cross, she was not a nice person at all! Blake was really nice and I loved this instant connection he had with Tuesday! They both deserved to find each other and I was rooting for them the whole way through! I have read a book by this author previously and this one lived up to everything I expected from her. It was beautifully written and very engaging. I shall definitely be reading more from her again in the future!

This was such an enjoyable Christmas novel. I loved the setting for the story and it didn’t take me long at all to be completely swept up in Mel’s story. I really liked her character, she was a genuinely nice person and if it anything could happen to anyone then it definitely happened for her. There were some great laugh out loud moments and some very sweet romantic times too involving a sexy Spanish man! I loved the language barrier issues between them – some were quite funny! This is definitely a heart-warming Christmas read – I have read work by this author previously and she never fails to entertain me with her wonderful story telling skills. I absolutely recommend this story for a nice read on a cold winter’s night!
