Mountains Wanted (Mountains Series #1) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Sheri Schrader

Mountains Wanted (Mountains Series Book 1)Mountains Wanted by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mountains Wanted by Phoebe Alexander is the first in the Mountains Series books. The first three books in the series are a continuing storyline so you will want to read those in order. The story is about Dr. Sarah Lynde, a single mom, looking for her next friend with benefits. Army First Sergeant James McAllister is looking for the same because he doesn’t know when he will be deployed next. The two of them meet and the steam begins to rise. Despite wanting other people are they the right match for each other?
This is a good read that I read quickly. The story leaves off for the next book so I am looking forward to where the story goes after this book. The characters are interesting and I liked some right off and others I found to like more as I got to read more about them. There are some background characters who are also interesting. I like the story because these are not perfect people but each has its own flaws and problems they bring to the relationship. Unlike other romances, this has some reality brought to the table with this feature. I look forward to seeing where this story goes.

THE RUNAROUND: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy (CAROLINA CONNECTIONS BOOK 6) By SYLVIE STEWART – Review by Karyn Taylor

The Runaround (Carolina Connections #6)The Runaround by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Runaround is a single dad romantic comedy by Sylvie Stewart and is the 6th book in the Carolina Connections Series. This is the 2nd book that I have read by this author having previously read Then Again which was part of the Juniper Court Series. When reading this book I didn’t realise that it was part of a series set around a group of friends but thankfully each book in the series can be read as a standalone.
In this book we get Jax and Ari’s story, and what a great story it is. This story will make you laugh so much and also move you to tears in parts too. I absolutely loved both Jax and Ari. Ari is just a total badass woman who takes absolutely no crap from anyone. She’s just awesome. Jax on the other hand has just discovered he is the father of a 14 year old daughter he knew nothing about and he’s struggling to cope.
For me the star of this book is 14 year old Lola. At the beginning she hates Jax and is a typical monosyllabic teenager but as the story develops she realises he’s not the complete a-hole her mother made him out to be. The interactions between these 2 are amazing. Seeing the turmoil going through Jax’s head trying to cope with this new relationship, the love he has for Lola and how he sabotages his relationship with Ari thinking it’s the best thing in the long run. Also seeing Lola turn from this sullen, angry teen into an amazing young woman is also wonderful to read. Her growth throughout the book was written so well by the author.
I realise that I’ve focussed on Jax and Lola and not really much on Jax and Ari but I can assure you that their story is wonderful and you will love it.
Added to this are their group of friends, whose stories have been told in previous books in this series who really add so much to this story. I’d love to read some of their stories too.

In Other Words (Boothbay Harbor Series Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes – Review by Kerry Baker

In Other Words (Boothbay Harbor Series, #1)In Other Words by Pamela Q. Fernandes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Other Words by Pamela Q. Fernandes is the first book in the Boothbay Harbor series. This is a well written book that is a strong start to a new series.
Having read a few books by this author I knew to expect a great book, which is exactly what I got. The book was highly emotional from start to finish. It felt like you were taken on the journey with Trish.
The book had an even pace about, not rushed or intense but a slow build of the story. It worked well for this type of book and the emotional rollercoaster it takes you on.
I very much enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to book 2.

Covert Threat (A Gray Ghost Novel, book 5) by Amy McKinley – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

Covert Threat (Gray Ghost #5)Covert Threat by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well I absolutely enjoyed this book! I needed a fast paced, action type of book and this was right up my alley.
Jules is an amazing scientist born to help people in her own way, when things start to happen and she needs protection.
Enter Trev, who was a SEAL, and now a part of Gray Ghost. I’ve wanted his story and now I’ve got it, I loved it so much.
The twists and turns kept me guessing and I kept wanting to turn the pages even after I finished.

I can’t wait until I get more from this series.

Call of the Alpha (Powder River Pack Book 2) by Brooke May – Review by Katie Matthews

Call of the Alpha (The Powder River Pack #2)Call of the Alpha by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Having read a few books by this author now I am always quite certain that I am in for a good read and Call of the Alpha was no exception! It was a fantastic read and possibly my favourite by Ms May so far! I was completely captivated by Rylie and Mason’s story from the very beginning. The chemistry between the two characters was electric and I have to say I was definitely rooting for them the whole way through! I loved Mason!! From the very beginning I was drawn to his character and the connection that the two characters had for me felt so real and genuine at all times, in my opinion they were the perfect match!
I am definitely looking forward to more to come from this series! I highly recommend it!

REWIND Boxed Set (Rewind Series Books 1-4)
By Rowan Shaw
5 out of 5 stars

The box set Rewind by Rowan Shaw includes four stories that are wonderful to read. I love that the setting for the stories is in France. They are stories that deal with love and self-acceptance. Each story has two amazing main characters as they deal with their everyday lives and also their growing attraction to each other. The stories are emotional and had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading them. There are heartbreaking moments as well as heartwarming ones as well. There are also additional characters that I enjoyed reading about their interactions with the main characters. Will love be found? Read these stories to find out. The stories also show how the characters deal and react to those who judgmental about them and the lives they lead. Don’t miss out reading this boxset as once you start it is very hard to put down. Highly recommended.

This is a four book box set that you don’t want to miss. This is a series that takes place in France that has love, M/M and diversity as each relationship develops and grows.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

These books are a great read. They follow 4 people and their relationships as well as all the trouble and hatred they have to overcome to be happy and to be with the person they want to be with.

The themes covered in the books have been written really well and shows you an insight into the things and hatred a person who is gay/bisexual has to deal with on a daily basis.

All of the stories are heartwarming but also sad in parts but love will win out.

Jake Wolfe Series Bundle Box Set: (Books 1-2-3) Vigilante Justice Thriller Series by Mark Nolan – Review by Sara Oxton

Jake Wolfe Series Bundle Box Set (Jake Wolfe #1-3)Jake Wolfe Series Bundle Box Set by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jake Wolfe series bundle box set by Mark Nolan filled with five-star reads. This box set includes book one to three in the series and each one just gets better than the last. When we get introduced to Jake Wolfe in the first novel, and what an introduction, as soon as he is on the page, he steals your attention. You will get spun into the story as you read, you will feel Cody rubbing against your leg to get your attention, you will be there with them helping them search for a killer. This is a gripping series and one that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Don’t let this one pass you by.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Runaround: A Carolina Connections #6, by Sylvie Stewart. Let me start off by saying I have read every single book in The Carolina Connections Series and I have absolutely loved them all!!! This book was no different. This is the sixth book in the series and I think they just keep getting better and better!! The chemistry between Jax and Ari is great. Since they first met, the flirting and little jabs with each other was definitely there. I couldn’t put this book down and I just couldn’t get enough of these two. I can not wait for more!!!

A Sun So Bright (Reigning Hearts Book Three) by KG Fletcher – Review by Katie Kearney

A Sun So Bright (Reigning Hearts, #3)A Sun So Bright by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Sun So Bright (Reigning Hearts Book 3) by KG Fletcher. Once again this author knows the way to my heart. I’ve loved just about everything from this author and this story was no different, I was completely hooked from start to finish. Fiona and Chris will be on my mind for a while. At first I wasn’t entirely sure how I felt about Fiona but she very quickly grew on me , where as Chris was almost a love at first…read haha. Both characters are written with such details and the emotions they go through are felt deeply by readers at least that was my experience. It’s a well written story and I loved every minute of it. Paced nicely with characters you can relate to and connect with. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Take a journey to France in this LGBT adult series focusing on love, diversity, bisexuality, and own voices.

BOOK 1: REWIND

The day Enzo Chevalier lost his hearing, everything changed. Forced to rebuild his future and fight for his dreams, Enzo refused to let anything take him down…until the man of his life walked out on him and shattered his heart.

Florian Beaudry had his whole life figured out. His business was flourishing and everything was settling down at last. Or so he believed…until he walked in on his girlfriend and best friend.

Still on the rebound and unable to trust another man, Enzo never expected a chance encounter with Florian. The one person he thought he would never see again. The one person he missed the most.

Were they truly meant to get a second chance or were they doomed from the start?

BOOK 2: RETURN

Unable to find an apartment he could afford in Paris, Raphaël Diop had no other choice but to move in with the enigmatic Adrien Dupuis, a charming man with many secrets.

If cohabitation seemed like a bad idea from the start, things only got worse when Adrien acknowledged his attraction to Raphaël, making an offer difficult to resist.

But sleeping together wasn’t an option for Raphaël, not when it might cost him the only place where he could live.

Could they truly ignore their desire for each other, or could Raphaël believe that one night together might be worth risking it all?

BOOK 3: REVIVE

To Patrick Lefèvre, nothing matters besides his family, his friends, and sex. He isn’t cut out for relationships, and everyone knows it.

Since his divorce, Brandon Smith has had a lot going on. There’s no time for hookups or one-night stands. Not until he meets Patrick—a man as elusive as he is gorgeous.

Little does Brandon know that the man he just slept with is his new therapist. And his appointment is tomorrow.

Can Patrick and Brandon deny their deep attraction and develop a normal client/therapist relationship?

Can they limit themselves to hooking up once—or should they give their passion one more chance?

After all, what harm could come from one more night together?

BOOK 4: REBOUND

Bisexual YouTuber Noah Perrin had everything he could dream of. His channel was thriving, and his ten-year relationship with his boyfriend Hugo was rock solid—or so he believed until Hugo dumped him.

Completely lost, Noah watched as his life began to fall apart—until one phone call to his best friend and ex-lover Adrien Dupuis changed everything.

Would Noah expose himself to more pain by moving in with Adrien—a man he’d always desired but could never have—a man already tied to somebody else?

Noah would have never guessed he’d find support in a woman from Adrien’s entourage—a woman who makes him an offer he cannot refuse—a chance to finally be himself, to finally be happy.

Was this offer the opportunity he’d always dreamed of or was it just another dream meant to fail and break his heart?

Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series #2) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Jenni Bishop

Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series Book 2)Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mountains Climbed (Mountains Series Book 2) by Phoebe Alexander is the continuing erotic tale where there is much angst and longing, heartache and pain. You need to read Mountains Wanted first because it continues on from it. Phoebe has once again given us a thought-provoking story of one’s sexual journey and of what some will see as taboo. It is a great story, but it is such an emotive story that you feel everything the characters are feeling. Phoebe has once again given us a story that is beautifully written and an erotic contemporary romance that you will love from start to finish. I was so drawn within the story that I read it in one sitting.

Sarah has to learn to live without the love of her life which is heart-breaking within itself, but she also has to learn that she must adjust her way of thinking when it comes to the needs of her children. Even though she tried to move on, she could not help what her heart wants but there is only so much she can take before she finally gives up.

James is on an overseas deployment and can’t help but think of the one woman who opened his eyes, he knows he should only focus on his fiancée, but Sarah holds a place in his heart and needs her in his life. Unfortunately, it is too little too late, and he may have lost the greatest thing to ever happen to him.

I can’t wait to read the next book to see if my suppositions are founded.
