Cutter (Devils' Spawn Daddies)Cutter by Victoria Saccenti

However, not intentionally in the romance department. She needs Cutter for a case she’s trying to pull off. The question is tho will he accept the mission?

Group HugGroup Hug by Ariella Talix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a MMF story with some spicy content. Weston inherited his grandfathers house and is looking for a roommate. He posted an ad and right away Petra and Callum respond and actually show up within minutes of one another. Call it fate or divine intervention but these 3 were destined to be roommates.

Each character is telling the story as it progresses, which is nice that it flows that way because each one is unique in their own way. Weston and Callum quickly become infatuated with Petra and a throuple starts between them.

They are quickly the protective boyfriends in more than one situation. And find themselves living out their dreams thanks to a long lost connection they help bring Petra.

My only complaint with this entire book is that some parts felt super rushed. Like it skips from day to day to weeks from now. I found myself wanting more storyline in certain chapters and especially the last few. This will not be my last book from this author.

Good Enough -- The Deadman's Tribe Book 1: A Protector Romance / Romantic SuspenseGood Enough — The Deadman’s Tribe Book 1: A Protector Romance / Romantic Suspense by Nicole Craig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trigger Warning for some violent scenes depicted.

This is only book one and I am so ready for more from this author! This story was so easy to dive into and not stop. Kai has a brother that sends her to a consulting firm for a film she is directing. Little did she know she’d end up making a Navy Seal rethink his whole future with the company.

Kai is the person you’d want on your side. Her Kubrickisms as the team like to call them are so hilarious. Especially if you have spent time around military people. She ends up spouting off without thinking, without realizing and gets herself involved with Waters.

Waters is the rough, tough, GI Joe type who is trying to not catch feelings. When feelings end up catching him anyways. I love the dynamic of the team they have built up and how the author did such an amazing job at keeping it pretty accurate in how teams like that are.

This story was hard to put down as I wanted to know more and wanted to find out if Waters had come to his senses or not. This story did not disappoint at all.

A Journey for Dorothy (The Reluctant Wagon Train Bride #8)A Journey for Dorothy by P. Creeden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a sweet story. It shows that you can learn to love someone. That being totally selfless is possible. That when times are hard you have to rely on your people. I found myself immersed into this story and wanting more.

We follow the journey of Dorothy as she travels from Va on to the Oregon Trail, in hopes to meet up with her sister. Dorothy is a widow and shortly into her journey she is faced with decisions she didn’t think she’d have to make again. She didn’t want to make them again. This is where we see how times have changed for traveling as a woman. But back then it was rough going and not ideal, let alone advised for a woman to travel alone.

Elias is a man of God and is about to travel West to bring the word of God to as many people as he can. When a dire situation leaves him with no funds and no way to continue his travel. That is until Dorothy saves him, in more than one way.

Read this story to find out how they save one another.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a wonderful crime solving book this one was. Seriously finished in a day because I could not put it down. I love how the author makes you feel like you are watching this all play out as though it was a movie.

Jake is a former Marine that has a beloved K9 Cody that helps keep America safe! Jake and Cody are tasked with finding and stopping the distribution of a drug that will cause devastation in mass numbers.

All the while his girl friend Sarah is fighting her own battle as well. Along with some of his close “familia”. The question remains will Jake be able to solve this puzzle before it’s too late or can he stop the destruction from becoming worse?

This is not my first book by this author and it won’t be my last. I love the way it’s written with the military aspect still heavily in there. I look forward to more from this author!

Secrets at the CafeSecrets at the Cafe by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have loved every book from this author and this one was just as good as the others. I will say you don’t have to read A Mother’s Threat first but it ties into this one so much I would recommend reading it first.

Karina makes a promise to her grandmother as her last wish that she will run the Café. What Karina doesn’t know is that her grandmother has held a secret all these years, several in fact, and will send Karina on a puzzle solving mystery. But will Karina find the answers once the main item comes up missing?

This book is a quick and easy read that will suck you right in and keep you guessing until the end. You will find yourself trying to figure out who the thief is and if Karina will figure out the secret. I love the happy ending this book gives because both Karina and Violet deserve a happy ending.

What a wonderful children’s book this is! Caspian is wishing for a bicycle for his un-birthday. What shows up instead is baking dust. So him and his grandpa get busy baking up his dream!

This book is part of a series but you can read it as a stand alone. I would say this book is perfect for early elementary ages 5-8. It’s such a great story of a kid not only spending time with his grandparent but of dreams coming true. Plus also some magic happening as well!

1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have loved everything I have read from this author! This book did not disappoint in its historical avenue. If you have read the Notebook Mysteries Series then you will recognize that Mark is someone Emma and the team has helped. That’s actually what drew me to this story. The fact those characters are branching out into their own adventures!

Mark is a reporter for the local paper and is always up to travel and keep writing. The Alien Crash in 1897 is the first stop on his adventure. Ultimately Mark finds himself traveling to the Yukon for the Gold! The accuracy of these stories is so great and the way its written makes you feel like you’re part of the story.

Mark of course has his challenges once there but not without surrounding himself with family/friends that will take care of him when he needs it. This story has some sad character stories within it but the happiness that comes out and wins is so great.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a hallmark of a story this book turned out to be. I loved the fairytale love story within this book. But also the story of bringing Christmas magic to a small town that is a hallmark town already. I could see this book being a movie and brining it all to life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I will forever be a fan of this series. This book was a quick read and again did not disappoint if you’ve read the others prior to this one.

Emma, Jeremy and the rest of the family are in the Wedding and Christmas spirit. When they receive an invite to a party that makes them question the hosts intentions.

When the Charity, the one Emma and Jeremy have helped set up, notify them of Henrietta’s disappearance. This leads Emma and Jeremy to become parents, overnight to this sweet girl.

The party, the Wedding, the reason Henrietta changed jobs…. Will Emma and Jeremy be able to race against the clock to be able to see Ethan and Savannah say I Do?

It’s so easy to fall in love with these characters and though you can read these as stand alone books, I would suggest reading in order as the characters move from story to story, and some stories carry over. You won’t be disappointed.

When We Fell Again: An angsty, second chance rockstar romanceWhen We Fell Again: An angsty, second chance rockstar romance by Julie Archer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First off this book has some trigger warnings: Drugs/Sexual Harassment/Violence

Okay this book was a bit heavy… not in a bad way though. The author touched on subjects that are real for people and she made it relatable. Alexis and Jordan have a past that has kept them apart for a handful of years. Both working in the music world, one being a tour manager and one being the musician.

When Alexis is forced to be their manager last minute. Not really knowing what has gone on in the band or in Jordan’s life the last few years. She walks in knowing their history and why this isn’t a good idea.

They are drawn to one another of course. Alexis ends up being the person that essentially saves Jordan… from himself. But can they manage to work on being a couple, can the relationship survive?

This book hits on some heavy topics but you can see this book playing out as a movie. The author did a WONDERFUL job at keeping these topics tied into the story. And showing how they impact lives.

I absolutely loved this story and could see this as a movie. Wes and Mina meet in 5th grade and immediately have a connection that is beyond what most people have.

They are the best of friends but also there’s a little love interest there too. All until when West disappears in 7th grade without a word. Wes lived in the group home in town and Mina from the trailer park. So their lives were filled with judgment from everyone.

Five years have passed since they have seen or talked to one another when Wes just happens to be placed at the private school Mina attends for their Senior year. And what a reunion it was for the both of them.

When they are paired together for an Art project that Mina isn’t going to accept below an A on and Wes is the best artist at the school their connection to one another brings them closer than ever… that is until Wes’ past creeps in and threatens to tear them apart.

This story is one that will break your heart, make you cry and make you believe in love all at the same time.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly loved this book. It was a short read and I was so wanting more. I love these types of stories and this one did not disappoint me. Now this book would be suitable for young readers wanting to dip into crime books. It was well written.

Eve is drawn to Murder Creek and the disappearance of Lacey. So much so that she asked for an incomplete on her paper for school so she could write on this particular case.

What she uncovered at Murder Creek was not only answers but peace about a murder many years before Lacey disappeared. I loved how the author gave credible information and sources. This book shows that all it takes is one piece of information and a whole more will unravel.

Grab some tissues because you are going to need them with this book. There is some talk about grief so a little trigger warning for you.

It’s been a long time since I have fully fallen in love with a story and cried my way through it. This one had me feeling all kinds of emotions.

Ava and the King brothers have grown up together since she lives on their Estate. Her father works for their father. The brothers and her experience losing their moms and growing into adulthood together. The oldest Matthias has been anything but nice to Ava all these years. Theo and her are best friends and he always jokes she’s going to be Mrs. Theo King one day.

The dynamic between Ava and the oldest King brother changes when they are stuck together during a snowstorm several years ago. Fast forward 5 years and they discover that his dislike towards her is all because he was told by both fathers to steer clear. Even though he really didn’t want to.

Now Ava and the brothers are all back at the estate because the elder Mr. King is dying. When Matthias spills the secret he and Ava have shared all these years to Theo. The real test is can Theo and Ava repair their friendship? Will things change between Matthias and Ava to go back to those 2 snowy nights they had together? Will grief pull them apart?

Leaving No Traces (Commissario Scala #5)Leaving No Traces by P. J. Mann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First off you don’t have to read the others in order for this one to make sense. Though I will say I will be going back to read them.

Scala is investigating a missing woman who has been having an affair with 2 different men. One being a married man. While her husband is in the dark.

Simona had been warned to end the relationship. She was trying to. She was told to end the wrong one. Little did the person know she was having more than one. When she was essentially kidnapped. After her car shows back up at the gas station an investigation that would unfold so many lies, deceit and a whole other life come to light. Turns out marriages weren’t as solid as some were made to believe. Secret documents created to protect others. Two murders connected by one affair.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it kept me guessing. Especially with the other crimes coming to light and the reveal of who was behind it all. I could see this as a movie and adding more to the story. Now to read the others because this one was hard to put down!

This book is very relatable in being pushed to limits when it comes to privacy and love and relationships. I love how the author has portrayed Kia. She’s a hard working, dedicated mom, who has had her fair share of struggles and judgment.

It was such a quick read and I was wishing for more of this story!

Notebook Mysteries Parisian IntrigueNotebook Mysteries Parisian Intrigue by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love how the story of Emma and Jeremy has progressed. Not just their characters but all of them. I have loved this series and this book did not disappoint.

This time Emma and Jeremy are able to travel with Dora and Tim (Emma’s sister and brother in law) and go abroad. They land in Paris, France during the exposition.

Of course this trip quickly turns into solving several mysteries but keeps you guessing on all of them. They were invited on this trip, all expenses paid but who invited them? Who is footing this bill? Mysteriously a girl shows up to their room but no one believes her that she was originally there with her mom. What’s the deal with the missing woman? Is there a group against electricity? Will they cause havoc during the exposition?

Now this particular book was full of loosely based facts and based loosely on real people/events. Which this is what I love about this series. It pulls you in because you want to know what trouble Emma is going to come across next but the author does an amazing job at adding in historical facts which keeps it authentic. I truly hope we are able to continue following Emma and Jeremy some more!

Laurent and Phoebe made a pact in college and 20 years later she comes back into his life. Laurent has been in love with Phoebe since he’s known her. Phoebe couldn’t commit and ran. She’s great at running.

Laurent makes her promise that she won’t fall in love with him…. but can she keep that promise? Can they find their happily ever after? I loved their story and the realness it brought. It was relatable in so many ways and her reasoning for running is not what I thought at all. You must read to find out more!

I love how the relationship between Heath and Grace developed into a great little love story.

Heath is a famous baseball player and Grace works at an animal shelter. They denied their feelings and attraction for each other for months. Until Heath made a move and let Grace move at her own pace. This is what made me like his character. I feel like this author did a really good job at painting Heath in a positive, not your typical jerk sports player.

Grace feels as though she’s not good enough for him. Until he makes her face her truth. Once she faces that he truly just loves her the whole relationship changed.
