Shameless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #2)Shameless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much if not more than the first. I highly suggest you read the first book as well to help your enhancement for this author. This is a well written story where the author used her writing skills to bring the story to life. The characters pull you into the story and kept me engaged to the end. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story. A story that will make you question if it is true that opposites attract. A story where the characters are relatable and have greaty growth as well as chemistry throughout the story. This is a hard to put down story that you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed reading this story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shameless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls Book 2) by KG Fletcher. This book is by one of my favorite authors so I knew I would love it and it did not disappoint. Its the story of Walt a hard working, farm guy who has a hot temper and doesn’t ever want to leave the country. Elyse is a hard working city girl that doesn’t have time for relationships. When Elyse and Walt meet at a studio party the chemistry is off the charts. Throw in a snow storm and them getting stuck in a crazy snowstorm together all bets are off. He can’t stay away from her and she is the same. Will they be able to work out as a couple or are they so different that it will never work. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the 1st book to get a better feel of the characters! Awesome romance!

This is the first book in this new series for this author and what a great start it is. I can’t wait to see what is next in this series. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. A story that brings steam and romance to an engaging story. I enjoyed how the author used details to bring her story to life and made it realistic. The characters pull you into the story from the start. They are relatable and supportive of each other. They added so much to the story. They have great growth and chemistry throughout. This is a fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. I have enjoyed reading this author’s books and this one is no different. This is a must read story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Isaac and Jack’s story is fascinating and had me on the edge of my seat. Valentina made the story even more perfect. Watching Isaac grow through the story and getting to see familiar faces pop in make this one of my favorites. The Hawke family are one of my favorite series and the 2nd generation is just building on that. I loved the storyline. The characters were well-written and fit in to the story just right..Mafia romance has become one of my new favorite and this author is right up there at the top of my list. I love seeing the protagonist come out on top.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s time for Walt’s story. He’s a touch of grump with big loving, teddy bear. Reading how much he cares for his sister was so touching. He and Elyse are such a good couple as they work through their relationship. I found this story charming and it has it’s moments of drama (with a touch of steam). I love this series because the author has a way of writing that makes you feel like you are right there with them. Right from the beginning, you are welcomed right into the story and can’t put it down. It’s kind of like being part of their family. This is a family that is strong and just trying to do the right thing. Another winner for this author. One of my favorite series for the year. This will be going on my bookshelves.

Shameless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #2)Shameless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

While I did enjoy Shameless Love, my expectations were higher for this book after reading Teddy’s story in Faultless Love. In the first book, I was taken on an emotional roller coaster but in Shameless Love, I didn’t connect enough to get the emotional response I was hoping for.
In Shameless Love, we are given Walt Bennett’s story and his rather rushed love of Elyse. Elyse is a producer for a food network with eyes on Walt’s sister to have her own show. When Walt and Elyse meet, it is love at first sight. While they are meant to be, I as a reader was wanting more drama between the two. It seemed too clean and straight forward with no actual plot between the main characters other than steamy moments between the sheets. As a reader, I wanted more engagement, but I never got beyond surface level for both Walt and Elyse.
If I had read this as a standalone, I would have enjoyed it more but knowing the author is capable of pulling at my emotions left this book feeling a bit flat, although enjoyable.

I absolutely loved reading Tripp and Soleils story. Them both being attracted to each other without knowing that the other is, and the lengths he goes to to help her were amazing.

Tripp and Soleil have to overcome a few things in order to figure themselves out, and work towards each other, but once they do it’s like an explosion of amazingness.

I loved this story throughout the entire thing. Couldn’t put it down!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

100 authors were given the question, ‘what advice would you give to your younger self?’ The responses vary between writing techniques, goals, genre, reading, traditional and self-publishing, self-doubt, routines, ideas, practices, characters, editing, etc. My favourite section was by Rita Herron who said; ‘instead of writing one book of the heart, I tried to put heart in every book.’ However, I wasn’t particularly fond of the section by Ernest Dempsey. Either way, I recommend this book because it is a really useful read, and there’s such a variety of authors providing advice that it would suit all aspiring authors in one way or another. I’m going to start using these techniques straight away.

Shore Lodge by Susan Specht Oram

Shore Lodge is a wonderfully written Psychological Thriller that will grab your attention from the beginning and there’s no stopping until you finish. I found myself lost in the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I had goosebumps and was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the story. This is a fairly new author to me and holy co I wasn’t prepared for what was hidden within these pages. Their style of writing along with characters that are relatable, fully developed, and raw with a slight edge made for one heck of a thrilling ride. Jacklyn is hit with grief after her husband’s death and is simply trying to get through each day. Her kids suggest a little getaway to a resort to help with her grief this is where the ultimate betrayal starts. Jacklyn finds herself fighting for her freedom while putting the pieces together. Will she get out or is she stuck there? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Page Count – 250

Hayes is the worst neighbor in the entire history of neighbors.

She’s also the hottest.

F.M.L.

I don’t have time to fight with the dog groomer next door. There’s a brewery to run, siblings to rein in, and a mom to look after. So if Hollis thinks I’ll roll over and let her drive me out of business, she’s not nearly as smart as she thinks she is.

Sure, I enjoy the little pranks we play on each other, and I don’t hate watching her prance around in those tight leggings. But she’s gone too far this time, even if she pretends to know nothing about it.

I’ll do whatever it takes to save my business from going under, and if that means playing dirty with the girl I love to hate, game on.

If you like snarky banter, sizzling chemistry, big crazy families, and evil geniuses, Ale’s Fair in Love and War is your next weekend read. It is a standalone steamy romantic comedy with tons of heart and an HEA.

He’s the broody brother in the family whose temper can go from zero to death row in a heartbeat. She’s the sexy television producer who stops him in his tracks. Are these two opposites nothing more than a one night stand?

He didn’t mean to give Elyse pleasure during the important studio party. Because they could never be anything more than friends, right?

And even though she was drop-dead gorgeous and flaunted her sexy-as-sin charm, he should’ve kept his hands to himself and looked the other way. Until he walked into that party and his gaze landed on her barely-there dress. At that moment he never wanted anything so badly in his entire life.

He’s worked hard to protect his family and call his life his own, but when they become trapped together during a freak snowstorm, all bets are off. She’s made it clear she’s a city girl, and not interested in settling down in a small town like Langston Falls. But watching her on the farm, he starts to see another side of her that has him wishing she’d reconsider.

Will the bond they share be enough to overcome a long distance relationship? Or will his chance at happily ever after explode, leaving him angry and alone?

The Exchange by Nadija Mujagic – Review by Angela Hayes

The Exchange: A NovelThe Exchange: A Novel by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

The Exchange by Nadija Mujagic is the first book that I have read by this author. It popped up on my recommended book list and after seeing the cover and reading the blurb, I was intrigued. I picked up a copy and jumped right in.
The premise promises a thrilling suspense, with a psychological edge, mystery, drama, twists, manipulation, intrigue, an ‘exchange/bargain gone wrong, and more. And for the most part it was a gripping read. But, I had anticipated being on the edge of my seat the whole way through- and that wasn’t the case here. It was definitely intriguing, and had some gripping, twisted moments- but I felt the story was much slower and more predictable than I had expected. I was hyped up for an intense read, so it fell a little short, for me. There were a few unexpected developments which were what kept me turning the pages to find out how it all played out in the end. I was a little frustrated throughout the story, as I really think this has so much more potential to be a stellar story, but just missed the mark. It didn’t help that I found the transitions to be quite abrupt, which disrupted the flow of the story (for me) as I had to ‘settle’ back into the groove every time.
Sam Moves to L.A. looking for her big break- but the doors to success remained shut. So when she’s offered help to realise her dreams- she thinks things are finally looking up for her, then things take an interesting turn. A bargain is reached, an ‘exchange’ agreed upon. But things go a bit awry along the way. What happens? You’ll need to read all the dramatic developments for yourself…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nadija Mujagic!

Grace Under Fire (The Anderson Sisters Book 2) by Jennifer Raines – Review by M Policicchio

Grace Under Fire (The Anderson Sisters Book 2)Grace Under Fire by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Grace Anderson has spent her entire life knowing that she was going to eventually run the family farm. Grace has started to slowly make it her own by adding handmade cheeses. As her future is drawing closer, things begin to change. First was her sister’s death. Next was the custody battle for her niece. Now is her mother’s health. And for the cherry on the top, her next door neighbor that ran after the death of her best friend, his brother, 8 years ago came home. Grace manages to successfully avoid him at all the local functions, except for a hello. As the changes mount, Grace is finding that she needs him more than ever, but she doesn’t want to.

Ryan Wilson couldn’t stay in that small town that killed his brother. He had to escape. Now, he is back. Unfortunately the one person that he didn’t mean to leave behind won’t talk to him so he can explain. Grace Anderson was just a teen when he left but now she is all woman. A fiercely independent woman that lets him know it. Ryan has given up on love and relationships but is finding that Grace is drawing out all kinds of feelings from him, not just the memories of his brother. When someone starts trying to ruin Grace’s plan to buy her family farm by harming the land and putting Grace in danger, Ryan feels the pull towards his farm and a need to protect Grace. Can he do both without losing Grace?

The author takes you on another emotional ride with this family. Grace’s deeply ingrained independent streak is partially from her father and partially from surviving the schemes of those that seem to be out to get her family. This independent streak causes problems for Grace as she tries to pursue a relationship with Ryan and find a way to make her dreams come true. If Grace could only learn to think before she pops off like a firecracker, she might not have to repair the damage her mouth leaves. This was an excellent duet. I brought my Aussie to American dictionary back out a couple of times but it was worth it. I am sad that there are no more sisters.

Savage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite PrequelSavage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite Prequel by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Here is a quick read. A new series from a new to me author. It is supposed to be an enemies to lovers, high school bullying type of romance. I can feel the connection between Riley and Cole. However, this prequel begins with Riley and her mother.

Riley lives with her mom and we get the feeling that life has not been fair or easy for these two. They have a life of petty crime, and it seems it is mostly stealing and overall being dishonest. However, this is left to readers’ discretion as nothing was really given away, more of a teaser for this part of the story.

Riley and her mother have a different place to live yearly or more often, and it appears they are on the run from dear ol’ dad who sounds like he would be vicious and violent. Again, just a tease of this situation so the reader is left to wonder and speculate.

Cole is the all-American boy next door, Mr. Popularity at school. He goes to high school with his cousins and his brother. On the outside he has it all. Especially money. But even having money causes and creates problems. Money doesn’t buy love. Some even believe money can’t buy happiness. I guess it depends on what makes you happy. Cole’s parents are not happy. Is money the root of their problems? Doesn’t seem like it. Implications that dad is having an affair, implications that mom may have mental issues. Again, just a tease of this situation as well.

This story is a prequel that ends in a cliff hanger and looks to what will be a good series. Looking forward to reading more and discovering just what is going on.

This is a fantastic book that, for me, was all about the characters. Dean and Rae are such strong and brilliant characters. Despite their turbulent start they really were very well matched. They both had a certain passion and you could feel the chemistry between them on each and every page.
But it wasn’t just the characters that stood out. The author has also written a brilliant book that compliments them. I found it engaging and could not put the book down once I had started reading it. There are ups and down and it really made the book interesting to read.

I love the idea of an actual blind date, where you get to know the other person for who they are without the worry of superficial things like looks, body type etc being the first thing to notice and dismiss or gravitate towards.
I loved these two and how this story unfolded, grabbed me from the start.

The fact that this is a paranormal fantasy definitely was a plus. Zoe has been taught that all of the monsters came from the mist and that all of them are bad. She was born into this world and never knew life before the portals opened.

As she begins to question everything she has ever known after a chance meeting in the woods she will learn some hard truths. Zoe can’t help but wonder if she will ever find where she belongs.

This book is the sixth book in a series. I would highly recommend reading the series in order. Of all the books, this one is the only one that could possibly work as a stand alone. Whereas the rest of the series is about Cam, Freyja, and other main characters, this book is about their daughters Caitlin and Seraphina. I have read all of the other books and really enjoyed this follow up book about the daughters who are all grown up. We get to see how life has progressed on earth and the effects worldwide. I think because this book was about young people there was more language than in other books. Caitlin is very much a brat and highly intelligent and struggling to figure out where she fits in. I loved the story and recommend reading the entire series along with this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this a really interesting read. I liked who the author found the courage to tell her story even through a fictional world. Her story is one of self discovery and finding self love which is very powerful. It was also emotional to read about her struggles with anxiety and how that has bothered her all of her life not just in childhood. I found that really reassuring as a person who also struggles with anxiety. It allowed me to feel like I wasn’t abnormal for still being this way into adulthood.
I found this story very emotional in parts due to being able to relate to it perfectly. Sometimes it was like the author was talking about me and my life.
The author’s writing is beautiful and the story is written in a very open and honest way which I loved. Even though fictional characters and storyline the author’s struggles and journey shone through. It was an inspirational read. And I found it comforting to know that I wasn’t the only one still struggling with anxiety even though I’m an adult.

Savage Start: A High School Bully Romance: Hidden Valley Elite Prequel by Isla Vaughn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

This prequel did exactly what a prequel is supposed tot do…. it gave you a taste of what’s to come.

The author did a superb job in drawing you in and made me fall in love with the characters immediately. The story drew me in from the start and immediately captured my interest and left me wanting more. EXACTLY WHAT A PREQUEL IS SUPPOSED TO DO.

The release of book 1 can’t come soon enough!

 

The author knows her stuff! She starts off by giving you little bites of back story and insights into why the characters are the way they are. I’ve already added the first book to my TBR and I’m counting off the days to release day

Wild Lavender (Heart & Hand Series Book 1) by Nicole E. Kelleher – Review by Bobbi Wagner

Wild Lavender (Heart & Hand, #1)Wild Lavender by Nicole E. Kelleher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed reading their suspenseful romance story. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. A story where there murder and a woman who has been haunting dreams for a while. There are twists and turns that you don;t want to miss. They had me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next. This is a well written story where the characters pull you into their world and keep me coming back for more. There is great growth of the plot throughout which makes the story easy and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.
