The Golden Garza (Red Cage Book 4)The Golden Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book I’ve read In this series. These Garza boys!!! Wow.
I don’t even know where to begin. Soleil comes to
Visit her best friend and they end up staying at her brothers house. Soleil and Tripp have been seriously been into eachother for years but neither had any idea. The first night Tripp returns home and finds a woman in his bed, he thinks it’s Maggie causing Soleil to
Almost get what she wants more then just about anything.
The guys at Red Cage take on big cases and they charge a lot of
Money. I really
Like how all the guys all have totally different personalities. Soleil needs help and she cannot afford to pay them but, luckily
For her, that doesn’t seem to be a problem. When the Garzas care about you, you will be protected. There’s a lot going in on this
Book, definitely suspense, and some steam. I loved how this book was written and just flowed so
Easily. Loved the characters, and loved the friendships. Aside from this book, over read True Garza but might have to go back and read the others. I’m still trying to figure out Guy’s story!!

Talisman: The Talisman SeriesTalisman: The Talisman Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rowan runs his family’s security firm by day and is a warrior by trade, fighting against the curse laid on his family by the Morrigan centuries ago. (A warrior has to find his talisman before his 28th birthday or he has to options. Become a slave to the Morrigan or become a rogue warrior fighting for his life.) As he nears his 28th birthday, he finds himself trying to beat the clock to find his talisman, his protector. Alyssa just wants to make it through her dissertation on Celtic history. After the loss of her grandmother and her fiancée walking out, she is just not sure how much more she can handle. So, when she finds footprints around her house, she seeks out a security firm to help her safeguard her house. Unbeknownst to her, Rowan is the answer to all of her problems and vice versa. As he thrusts himself into her life and inundates her with information that her grandmother should have given her, she becomes even more overwhelmed. It’s not every day that you find out that you are destined to break a centuries old curse on the families of warriors and talismans. Can she handle all the pressure to defeat Morrigan and her sister and break the curse, once and for all? Or will they all be destined to repeat the process for another century?

This was a fascinating read in the sense that I felt like I was learning and reading a story. The characters all had relatable insecurities as the work together to defeat the Morrigan. I think the author did a wonderful job of writing a wallflower’s perspective of being thrust into an unknown world and trying to navigate everything essentially as an outsider. Having to earn trust is huge, especially when it has been broken before. As the first book in the series, it left the door open for more exciting things to happen. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

This is an adult book.

Sharing His Nanny: A Curvy Girl Reverse Harem RomanceSharing His Nanny: A Curvy Girl Reverse Harem Romance by Tori Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I definitely related to Stella, our main girl. Growing up as anything larger than a size 8, and the fashion choices have always been abysmal at best. I love that that is the reason that Stella wanted to start her own fashion line, and created a need in her to create clothing that looks stunning on the curvy body. But back to the storyline!
Stella is working her butt off to keep creating her fashion line, but comes into a crisis when she has a falling out with her only big investor (who just so happened to be her kind of boyfriend -once you read it, you’ll understand why I say “kind of”).
Now, our dear Stella is at a loss, and is in desperate need of a new investor.
So, she contacts her step-mother, and ends up at a beach house with 3 VERY handsome men, and a child she is to play nanny to, and in-turn, she’ll have the money for her clothing line.
So what happens when you put a beautiful and stunning woman with 3 very hot men in a beach house in Miami? You get SPICE. I don’t want to ruin the book for anyone by giving away too much, but this book is amazing! It has a great storyline and characters. I promise you it’s absolutely worth the read!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an adorable children’s story about a returning to school. And like most kids, she is excited but scared at the same time. I love that the main character an animal with a great imagination of being a pirate. What a great idea! There are several teaching lessons in the book for kids. I thought it was wonderful. This would make a delightful story for a child getting ready to go into kindergarten but feeling a bit terrified of it. I loved the illustrations, especially the underwater drawing. The pictures jumped off the pages and the colors are so bright, bold, and vivid. Loved it!

Sharing His Nanny (Forever Our Girl, #2)Sharing His Nanny by Tori Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! I don’t know what I was expecting, but I was thoroughly unprepared for what this book contained. Stella is a hardworking, young, badass woman who is just about to start her own empowering clothing line for plus size women like her. When things don’t work out how she has planned, she calls the one person she hopes can help her out, her step mother. Turns out, her step mother had a proposition for her Stella just couldn’t turn down. When Stella finds herself in a vacation home with her step brother (her first crush), his two player friends, and his baby, she is unable to resist having a good time. This book has very steamy scenes, adorable baby scenes, and a mix of everything in between! This is not just a book with good writing, but it also has plot twists and storylines that keep you committed to the very end.

Titanian Warrior (Titanian Chronicles Book 3) by Victoria Saccenti

Titanian Warrior is the third book in the Titanian Chronicles and is a Romance/Fantasy that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. I developed this book in one afternoon I had to know what was going to happen next. This authors style of writing along with her creative characters make for one heck of a story. Faiza and Hagen have incredible chemistry from the moment they meet. They make the it feel like you are right there with them. There’s a couple of twists and turns that had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend reading this book where one person holds the key to a destiny that is loaded with danger and could quite possibly destroy everyone. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about this book, it took me a bit to get into the story. Buy once I did I was hooked. I was so invested in the relationship between Mora and Darin. It sucks that Mora is the princess everyone is looking at since she is the first princess, and her sister Pola pretty much gets away with anything, but it seems like Mora is done being the dutiful princess. Her escapades with Darin I can tell make her feel more free than anything and her soon to be fiancé seems kind of childish. I hope somehow they don’t end up together. The ending left me hanging and I can only hope there will be more to this ride!

This book really surprised me. The characters are witty and their personalities jumped of the pages.

I absolutely loved that the Female MC was strong and independent. Especially when she runs in to save the day. She didn’t need a hero coming to her rescue, SHE WAS THE HERO.

The storyline was witty and funny with some sad parts in-between.

The secondary characters have their own underlying story. Definitely hoping to see some more stories from these characters.

 

Great read!!

The artwork in this book is absolutely beautiful. This book is so fun to read to kids, because as an adult the names the author has given these pigs had me giggling. I love that Half-Pint Porky is all geared up to go to pirate school and whines about how she hates waiting, yet when it is her time to go she would rather stay home because she scared. She soon realizes that school isn’t so bad with friends around. Great children’s book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great story. I really like how the author centers this book around abuse, Zarifah banding together with her group of friends who have her back, and her fighting back and not putting up with the abuse. I feel like there was too much in the beginning about Tony and the strippers he sleeps with and not enough about the relationship between Zarifah and Hassan. Of course I loved how the Navy Seal who had given up on love and relationships falls head over heels for the main character and is willing to do anything to keep her safe.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

YES! I absolutely loved this reverse harem. I was hoping the angsty portion would be a little more prolonged, to really squeeze my heart, but it was still enough. The story flowed nicely, the characters were easy to fall in love with, everything was perfect. I really loved watching all the characters interact with Gia, and that they were all so accepting of her. Katherine is a real piece of work, as was, James. Some people with money are just so slimy and greedy, while others are loving and generous. I look forward to reading more curvy girl reverse harem books from this author!
