My two favorite stories are by Tamara Ferguson and Jacquie Biggar

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is one of the sweetest stories I have read in a long time. To think that an innocent kiss under a Strawberry Moon is the start of a relationship. Tamara Ferguson is one of my favorite authors. Her characters are simple but complex at the same time.Within her story the plot line keeps your interest and makes you feel like you are right there with the characters.

OH MY GOODNESS!! OH MY GOODNESS!! This story is one of the best stories I have read in a long time. Theresa Sederholt can build a world in her writings that I was catapulted into. Her character development is complex. Her plot line is engaging and I could not put the book down until I finished it. This story is about Dane. He has a secret that he does not want to come out of his closet, but that may be happening. He is on a fast lane to hell. Will Dane be able to climb his way out of hell? Can he remain strong?

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGYFLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY by Jane Suen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen is a great family base story. This trilogy is about raw emotions: hope, loss, love, and second chances. Jane Suen does a wonderful job creating multi layers, fully developed characters. The stories flowed easily from one page to another page to the next book in the series. I found myself in the story with Mary Ann and Connor’s relationship and their life choices and situations. The story does have a roller coaster ride of ups and downs so I would make sure you have kleenex by you. I encourage you to read this trilogy because you will not regret it.

Lisa: Coming of Age is the first book in the The Guardian Shifters by KM Lowe. KM Lowe put a lot of creativity into her story. She made her shifter story unique. It is a romance book with paranormal roots as well. Her characters are multi-layer which makes seeing them in my mind’s eye easy. This story is about Lisa. Lisa was left on hospital stairs seventeen years ago. She never wanted for anything in her life, until now. She was curious about her birth parents and what led them to leave her on those hospital stairs. She turns to her best friend Markus to help her understand what is going on with her.

King & Hunt: A Lust / Hate StoryKing & Hunt: A Lust / Hate Story by Brienne Dubh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

King & Hunt: A Lust/Hate Story by Brienne Dubh is my first book by this author. It was a great story to get to know Brienne Dubh. This was a short hot, steamy, lust/hate story. The characters have great chemistry together. Brienne Dubh does an amazing bringing this story alive. I have always heard that there is a fine line between love/hate, but I did see a line between lust/hate for sure. Christian and Gabrella had that relationship. There was always a love/hate relationship until one day. Christian and Gabrella let their guard down and bam that is when the steamy part of the story began. There are so many questions but the main one I think is important is Will Christian and Gabrella go back to their love/hate relationship? I recommend you read this story to find this out.

Chasing Starlight: Cassandra’s Story is my first book by Matilda Reyes and Jennifer Siddoway. I will be reading more by these authors. I found myself lost within the pages of this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Mountains Series by Phoebe Alexander is another series not to pass up. In the synopsis it states to read the first three books in order because it is all about Sarah and James’s story. There are a total of eight books. Phoebe Alexander does not disappoint as her stories are always a great read. She has characters that pop off the page and the situations they find themselves in can be interesting. Like in this story, Sarah and James are not looking for a relationship only to be friends with benefits. Does that ever work out that way? Can there be a friendship with benefits and not get to wanting more? Is there any hope for Sarah and James to remain friends with benefits? Is one of them want more? I cannot wait to read book 2 for the continuation of their story.

The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy is the sixth book in the Carolina Connections by Sylvie Stewart. One thing that sticks out with this story is the fact that Sylvie Stewart can mix humor and romance. It was a fun read. I have a crush on Jax as my book boyfriend.

This story has a humorous plot line and a sweet romance as well. This story is about Jax and Ari and Jax’s daughter Ari. I encourage you to read this story and fall in love with Jax as well.

Call of the Alpha is the second book in the Powder River Pack series by Brooke May. Brooke May’s attention to detail draws me in from the very first page. Her characters are amazingly close to real that I would want to belong to the pack. This story is about Mason and Rylie. Their story has lots of ups and downs, twists and turns, and a bond that makes a regular relationship boring. Rylie is moving back to her hometown. She comes back career focused biologist.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Sun So Bright is the third book in the Reigning Hearts series by KG Fletcher. When I saw KG Fletcher as the author I knew I was going to read it. Fletcher has always set the background with the most descriptive way she knows how. I feel I am there in the book world she created. The characters are complex and fully developed. Her characters are pushed to the limit and always come out on top. This story is about Fiona and Chris. Fiona is a billionaire heiress and Chris is a bartender who lives at home with his mom. Fiona makes a deal with Chris and that is where the story begins. You will have to read this story to find out what happens to Chris and Fiona.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Wicked Wolves of Windsor and other fairytales by Byrd Nash. This book is a collection of fairytales. The heros in fairytales is the female character. Nash’s is very descriptive and it was easy to follow throughout all the short tales. My favorite by Nash has to be The Wicked Wolves of Windsor. “This is a dark version of Red Riding Hood in a magical fantasy England post WWI” as the author says in the synopsis. With all these short tales, I felt my blood boiling and heart racing throughout the stories. I highly recommend this story to see it from Byrd Nash’s take of the fairytales.

Sky to Sea is the second book in the series, Crimson Sash by Amanda Marin. I would highly recommend reading the first book, North to Nara to enjoy Sky to Sea fully.

Taming Zane is the second book in the Almost Perfect Series by Lisa Lanay. Lisa Lanay’s characters are complex and very lovable. The story line is engaging and simple. It is the simple things that make the world go around. It is refreshing to read a book that can pull into the story and take you away from the real world troubles for a while. This is a romance story with some humor to the story. Shannon and Zane is the couple in this story. Their story is one of sacrifice, love, and fate. Can Shannon and Zane become the cutest book couple or will the sacrifices be too much for their relationship.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beloved is the third book in the 21st Century Courtesan by Pamela DuMond. I highly recommend reading the first two books before jumping in to this book. Ms. DuMond’s characters are fully developed and complex personalities. There are different levels of support for one another. The characters are also a bit dark but are intrinsic to each other. The story is a roller coaster ride. Evie, who is one of the main characters, has only four clients left and of the four there is one who wants Evie dead. I found myself reading at a fast pace because I wanted to see what was going to happen next. I suggest reading this book to see what happens to Evie.

Covert Threat is the fifth book in the series Gray Ghost Novels by Amy McKinley. Ms. McKinley is an amazing author who brings her story to life. Her characters in her story are amazing and keep you engaged throughout the entire story. This story has some romance in with the action/mystery all rolled into one book.

Trev is assigned to protect Jules because of threats made against her. Will Trev be able to protect Jules? Will Trev and Jules end up being a couple?

Never Date a Siren is the first book in the College Fae series by Byrd Nash. This is my first book by this author and it will not be my last. Nash has created a world of Fae that will make you feel like you are apart of that world. Her characters are complex and could very well be part of your world. In this story Bridget is a Fae and is very bull headed and Logan, who is human not sure what is going on due to his magical abilities that he did not know he had. I found myself so engrossed in the story that I could not put it down. I enjoyed this book and I cannot wait to read the next book. Thank you Byrd Nash for this new series.
