Who: A Stalker Series Novel Megan Mitcham 4 out of 4 stars
Who is the first book I’ve read by Megan Mitcham but I was pleased to know it is the first in a series so it won’t be the last. While I have to admit I wasn’t completely hooked by the first page, the story kicked off a little slow for me but once the story picked up a little more I found myself completely enthralled. I thoroughly enjoy books with a strong, independent female lead and that’s what I got in Larkin, her group of friends was just as powerful and successful making for great secondary characters. It’s hard to adequately write a review for a romantic suspense like this one without ruining any of the plot, but the story was just as strong as the characters and I’m looking forward to what more this stand alone series has in store for me. If nothing else I absolutely love the titles for each installment! Review by @fnbates

The Catch (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 2) Phoebe Alexander 5 out of 5 stars
One thing I’ve come to really appreciate in this series is Phoebe Alexander’s use of applicable quotes at the beginning of each of her chapters. I’ve always been a fan of a good quote and the effort put into this aspect of the series hasn’t been lost on me. I mentioned in a previous review that I had read the third book of this series first, they read really well as stand alone stories. Once again it was cool to see the familiar faces I knew in book 3 and more of their background, Casey, Leah, Cap. Paisley’s character is my favorite thus far, her story has a little bit of everything sex, danger, her character is fun and charismatic despite her colorful, mysterious past. I was roped in from beginning to end and I felt that Calvin and Paisley really worked well together. Honestly, such a well rounded story with a sexy, strong, confident leading lady, I would certainly recommend!

Our Next Chapter Michelle Sullivan 4 out of 5 stars
Our Next Chapter is one of those stories you just feel at home reading. As Karalyn and Des both return to their hometown you can’t help but feel like you’re returning to an old familiar place as well. I enjoyed the storyline and felt like it flowed well with relatable, likeable characters that carried the story well. Our Next Chapter has a similar feel to a couple of my favorite love stories but it didn’t feel as though the storyline was one that was overdone it was familiar and unique all at once. I am really looking forward to reading Quinn’s story in the future, I felt that she was a strong supporting character in this story.

The Sound Of Love (The Sound Series Book 1) Maria Watts 5 out of 5 stars
I never should have started this in the middle of the night. While I would never choose to pick up a book I didn’t think would interest me, I never expected to be so enthralled in this storyline that I would need to stay up for “just one more chapter” over and over again from the very first page. When the book began it was a different feel for me as our main character is young and her narration came off as such. Quickly I became more comfortable with Nina and well, I soon needed to know what was going to happen next. As the book progressed I found myself struggling to like Chris as a character, he was infuriating and his relationship with Nina was the same. Somehow though, I was still drawn to the two of them, I feel like the first several chapters gave us a good sense of who Chris and Nina are without the influence of fame, and despite the trials and tribulations they endured through the lense of fame the character development was so strong that you wanted to see them through. I am surprised by the role that Nina’s parents play throughout this story with the picture that was painted of them as parents at the beginning of the novel, but really that is just an opinion and has no real influence on the strength of the book. I would be curious to see what happened after this story ended, and I would love to have more of Nathan’s character. Overall I loved The Sound Of Love, it was intriguing yet frustrating, once I started I needed to see it through with as little stopping as I could. It’s indicated that this is the first book in The Sound Series so I will definitely be looking for more to come.

Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance The Big Apple Series, Book One Alexa Summers 4 out of 5 stars Touchdown is the second sports romance I’ve read and the first title I’ve read by this particular author. I was drawn to the book by the humor and honesty in the synopsis. One of the reasons Lexi became a sports journalist was to get into the men’s locker rooms? How can this book not provide entertainment? Touchdown did meet all of my expectations, while it wasn’t as fast paced as I’m used to it had a little bit of everything to keep my interest. There was the classic element of jealousy that comes with women, especially in a competitive work environment, there was romance, there were steamy encounters, drama, the list goes on. One of the things I most liked about this story was Lexi’s character, she was witty and charismatic which I loved but what’s best is that her success in her field is authentic proving her to be a strong female lead and I truly like that in my romance novels. Touchdown was a fun read that I truly enjoyed, I am looking forward to more from Alexa Summers.

Fisher Of Men (Eastern Shore Swingers Series, book one) Phoebe Alexander 5 out of 5 stars
Fisher of Men is the first book in the stand alone Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander. This is the second book I’ve read in this series but I’m not new to Ms. Alexander’s work, I’ve started sampling some of her other series! I haven’t met a Phoebe Alexander book I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed yet and Fisher Of Men is no exception. I read the third book in the Eastern Shore Series first so seeing where it all began in this book was a real treat, I recognized some names- Rhonda, Casey and of course Leah and Cap. By the end of the book I was left craving more and ready to go on with the series. When you read the about the author segment for Phoebe Alexander it mentions that she writes sex positive, body positive stories and if you’re not familiar with her work yet, this couldn’t be more accurate. Each story I’ve read has had a captivating erotic theme while bringing a great, strong storyline along with it. Each of the characters I’ve “met” so far are strong and stand their ground. Leah was able to discover her true self whether it was in her relationship, sexuality or her faith and I think it shows true talent to have such a balanced storyline where there is no lack of entertainment in any area. So many times you read a book where a woman may not stand her ground right away and once Leah’s mind was made, it was made. In the same respect, Leah is the type of character that can keep a level head and really see things from different perspectives admitting fault when necessary. I really respected her character and look forward to seeing how she grows more throughout the series. As far as the storyline goes, the serendipity tie in this book is what truly sealed the deal for me! My very first experience with “the lifestyle” and Phoebe Alexander’s writing was in the Juniper Court series book, Project Paradise. While this book has nothing to do with how incredible Fisher Of Men is, it opened me to a new genre of books, led me to this series, and honestly created a new fan of this author.

Neverland is the second “romantic thriller” I’ve read by Melissa Jane. I read Monsters incredibly fast as I couldn’t put it down and the story really stuck with me. There is one scene in particular that had filled me with chills that I can still picture now months later. When I saw Neverland I couldn’t click the download button fast enough. If you read the synopsis it will state that this book isn’t not all rainbows and butterflies and that there are triggering topics throughout the storyline, I would consider this a thriller with a touch of romance. As the synopsis warns, this is a dark story but one that is so, so well written. I love the narration of the story bringing us back and forth between present and past and slowly unraveling how our main character got where she is. It truly adds to the element of suspense. I struggle to type a review that does this story justice as I don’t want to give away any spoilers. It is intense and intriguing from start to finish. Melissa Jane has a talent for creating a dark, twisted tale that leaves you haunted. I loved how this story came to a close and will say I was a little surprised by the ending. With the warning that this story contains triggers for some kept in mind, I would recommend this to anyone that loves a suspensive, addictive dark story. I read this book within 24 hours, it was incredible. Reviewed by @fnbates
Before I go on any further, can I just say how beautiful I think this book’s cover is? It is completely eye catching and the colors are gorgeous together! Since we aren’t supposed to judge books by their cover, I’ll move on… As summer has come to a close here it was nice to have a light, summer read to shut it down. Summer Fling was the perfect combination of super sexy scenes and intriguing storyline with characters that felt so relatable they could be your friends too. I enjoyed the his and her perspective that this story was told from, really giving us a true taste of their personalities. I loved Emma straight from the beginning, witty and honest. The supporting characters throughout the story were just as enjoyable as the main ones, making it an even easier read. I almost wish this book was a little bit longer it was a fast paced, quick read that had a little of everything in it romance, steamy sex scenes, drama and suspense which was really satisfying. There was a time while reading when the drama and suspense really started to pick up and the book started to near the conclusion I felt like we were going in a different direction and there would be some loose ends. I will admit after making it to the end and reading the epilogue I was much more satisfied. Overall I really enjoyed this book, it was nice to hold on to summer a little bit longer here in New England.

Degrees of Innocence (The Prestian Series book 1) Via Mari
Periodically I have to go for medication infusions which last a couple hours at a time so I’m constantly looking for a good book to help me escape the boredom. I stumbled across Degrees of Innocence while looking for my most recent read and I was really intrigued by the synopsis. Via Mari is a new to me author so I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but knowing it was book one of a series I was hopeful I had found my next set of escapes for a while. I wasn’t disappointed when I started Degrees of Innocence, I was actually a little surprised at how quickly I was drawn into the storyline and captured by the characters. This story was unique with well written twists and turns that left me on the edge of my seat but there were aspects that still left a familiar feel which I welcomed (like the usage of email communication). I’m really impressed with how strong the storyline was written with a balance of incredibly steamy romance but substance and intrigue. I’m hooked and looking forward to carrying on more with the series.

Just Exes is the second book I’ve read by this author, having really enjoyed Just One Night I was looking forward to Just Exes and seeing what Lauren’s own story had to offer. I don’t read many second chance romance stories as I tend to find the obstacles that keep these couples apart redundant and frustrating. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from this book. Just Exes was so much more than a second chance romance and I am glad I cast aside my preconceived notions. I found myself cheering Lauren on from beginning to end and the obstacles that she and Gage faced were nothing less than exciting. I have to admit I really enjoyed the role Kyle played in the story, he was an excellent friend and his relationship dynamic with Lauren was well played out. Just Exes has a little bit of everything for the avid reader, danger, drama, passion, romance, the list goes on. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from Charity Ferrell.
Georgia Pine is the third book in KG Fletcher’s Southern Promises and by far my favorite! Having loved the first two books in this stand alone series so much, I went into Georgia Pine blind on the faith that regardless of what the book was about, I was sure to love it. I couldn’t have been more excited when I found out that this book was about Jessica and her family and I really couldn’t be more pleased with how the story played out. Georgia Pine has everything I could hope for in a story, so heartwarming I felt like my heart was swelling at times, then the tears, there were definitely tears. As if the emotion in these pages weren’t enough, we can’t forget to take into consideration the passion between Jessica and Tim. The more I type, the more I wonder if 5 stars is even enough? The characters, as I’ve come to expect with KG Fletcher’s writing, were strong and memorable. I mean in just the second book Jessica and her beautiful blond girls made a lasting impression! I loved how characters still tied into this story too even if the book didn’t seem as intertwined as the first two books. I could sit here gushing over Georgia Pine forever so I’ll wrap it up, but I definitely recommend this book to anyone that loves a good, heartfelt romance.

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit TL Clark 5 out of 5 stars
I honestly don’t even know where to start. Self Love is my first experience with TL Clark’s writing and if any of this author’s additional work reads as well as this, it certainly will not be my last. I was hooked on this novel from the very first blundering words. I loved that we are thrown right at Molly and her honest, inner self. I don’t know if it was because I saw so much of myself in Molly’s character, but I felt that she and the story as a whole was incredibly relatable. I feel this has to do with being a woman in general but you read the story and be the judge. There were so, so many times I found myself smiling, cringing but more importantly cheering our main character on. The progression towards self love and accepting no less of what she deserves from herself, her family and her potential love interests was empowering. There were so many pearls of wisdom within these pages, some you’ve may have heard before but definitely quotes from a story I will keep with me. One that struck me as I read was this, “Of course not. But you know, how others treat you is their own karma, how you react is entirely yours.” This sentiment is something I’ve learned along my self love journey and we all will be a little better off as we come into it on our own. Well, it’s honestly 4 am and I could go on and on forever at this point. Overall, this was a great balance between fun, realistic, quirky and deep and meaningful. Well done.
