Gemma is battling the demons from her past as she tries to find a footing in her future. Her attraction to Shep, a street racer, puts her eerily close to a lifestyle from which she is trying to break free. As the new MC starts to feel like family to Gemma, she finds herself in difficult situations. Gemma finds a true support and partner in Doc. Doc is there through hellish episodes, cementing his place in Gemma’s life.
This book moves at lightning speed. It gets a little confusing at times when they don’t discuss the time jump but as the story moves along, you can figure out the timing. It is hard to believe Gemma makes it through so much in this book and, as her history is revealed, in life. Gemma is strength and resilience. Hopefully Doc is her HEA.
This book contains depictions of assault and rape. Do not read if you find yourself triggered by those topics.

So Right, was so right in so many ways! This author is starting to become a favorite of mine. Though I think I need to go back and reread all in this series as a refresher. Petro & Amara, what is there to say?!? Amara wanted nothing to do with this fake fiancé assignment. Petro looked at it as a potential opportunity. Did everything work out for them? These 2 characters are written with so much pain in their past, it makes one feel for them. Are they able to move past it, or does it hold them back? Part of a series but very much a standalone novel in its own right. It’s a sweet romance! If that’s your thing? Take a chance, and as you read you will understand why.

I have personally never read anything by this author before but she is quickly becoming one of my favorites. This paranormal romance had so much to offer including Magic, mystery, drama, family, curses and more. This book introduces us to amazing characters, a beautiful and exciting world, and an intricately woven plot. However this book included such wonderful characters that I really hope several of them get their own story because I would love to read more about them and this wonderful world that our author provided. So if your looking for a great new read make sure you pick this one up today!
Another captivating supernatural romance story in this fantastic series. This is the fourth book in the series, and I recommend that you read them in order. Trust me you won’t be disappointed. I have said it before, but I will say it again Nikki has a way of telling a story that completely consumes you. I love that it is told in from several POV’s that give this story and characters so much more depth and insight. Emotions within the story makes your heart melt and fall in love with the characters. We meet old friends and discover new ones in this paranormal tale where one connection is like no other. Reviewed by @jennadb
This was a really great middle level novel that I will be reading to my 6th and 7th graders! The main character, Rourke, describes a worry knot building in his stomach. He worries about his friends, a new girl at school, and mostly his brother who has autism. Rourke is a 7th grader and his brother is a 9th grader so they are attending the same school this year. This book deals with mean girls, bullies, and many middle school issues that all kids should read about. I loved that each chapter started with a worry from different characters, it was a great way to get insight for the characters and some secret worries too. This book really shows that you never know what people are going through. A great book that I couldn’t put down and will be sharing!

A sweet romance set in the Australian outback. This is the third book in this small-town romance series. You can’t help but fall in love with the wonderful characters. It is an enjoyable read where there is heartbreak, loss, pain, but there is also laughter, fun and family. Dr. Scott Carruthers is the third sibling in this series, and he gets his story told in this book. When a new obstetrician comes to town there is instant attraction but a real slow burn as they work through their own painful pasts. I also love the connection of twins between Scott and his sister Sindy and laughed as the poor man had some of his sister’s experiences whist pregnant. Reviewed by @jennadb

Depending on You is most definitely a 5 star read. I grew up in a small town and my adulthood friends are the same women that I have known since elementary school. The bonds in this book meant a lot to me and while my best friends and I have not dealt with what Cate or Patti endured, I felt that their friendship was so relatable. I can’t really say anything to do this book justice. There are so many elements but the biggest take away is in the meaning of friendship and family, blood or not. The story really had depth and the storyline flowed seamlessly. I was really drawn to the writing from the very start and I was along for the ride through every bend in the road. I always enjoy when authors alternate between perspectives of the main characters so seeing the story through both women’s eyes was another element of the book I appreciated. Every character in this book was enjoyable and had the potential to tug at your heartstrings. I could literally go on forever. I loved this book. And it wouldn’t be a review of a Jessica Aiken Hall book if I didn’t mention how much I appreciated that she tied in her love for Tom Petty within the storyline as well!

Divine VIntage drew me in with the name and the cover of the book. I am so glad I picked this one up. Set in the current day but brings in a mystery from the Edwardian period. How does someone solve a mystery from over 100 years ago? I love the premise, the characters, and the story. The book was engaging and exciting and kept my attention. I hope more stories are coming from the author soon. I look forward to reading more from her in the future and will definitely keep her on my to-read list.

A strong and handsome man who swoops in and is ready, willing, and able to save you from whatever it is you need to be rescued from.

Jeremy Stone is focused on his own goal: Proving to his father that he’s ready to take over the family business. Then he meets Regan. She is just the distraction he doesn’t need.
Will Regan and Jeremy get their happily ever after, or will fate step in and destroy what little bit of happiness they’ve built?

One of the stories that had me gripping my pillow was Reflections of the Past by Melody Calder. Mary’s story started with feeling out of place where she should have felt at home. The chances Mary took to find belonging led her to real love. When everything in Mary’s world is destroyed, she finds a way to get her revenge. Sins of the past haunt Lia in ways she doesn’t even know yet as Mary’s vengeance collides with Lia’s heart. With Lia’s understanding, Mary is finally able to find peace.
The other story that caused my pillow distress was Runes and Fangs by Victoria Larque. Kayla has every reason to hate after what she has gone through. Minette should feel the same way but doesn’t let her light fade because of the actions of others. When Kayla first meets Minette, Minette should cower but doesn’t. Minette finds it within herself to be strong. Kayla should despise Minette but can’t seem to feel anything other than protective. Together, they seem to be able to accomplish the impossible while finding love.

This book is an romance that will touch your heart. Touching on a sensitive topic or two, this author writes in a way that speaks to your both your emotions and your heart. The two main characters are both dealing with rough times in their pasts. The question is can they move past those to be together? Or can they work together to heal? It looks good for them but you must read to find out. This author is one of my favorites because her plots feel realistic. They are made from things that people have gone through which makes everything pretty relatable. I have never been to Australia but her descriptions in the book make you feel like you are in the story. She is a wonderful author and I look forward to reading more from her. I would definitely give it more than a 5 if I could. Highly recommend. You should read the whole Outback series.

This book is the debut novel of Sandra L Young. I loved the fact that it was a historical mystery. I felt like I was in the past with the characters. Her descriptive writing really painted a vivid picture in my mind. Who would have thought that an antique clothing store would produce a mystery? This story is not just a mystery, but also has romance, murder, and some drama to the mix and that is what made this story interesting. This is about Tess and Trey. They are working on the murder mystery together. Their relationship started to blossom in this mystery. I love watching the relationship grow. I highly recommend this story because you are going to want to see what Tess and Trey have found and where their relationship grows into.

Two stories in one, both prequels to the Logan McKenna Mystery series. Bella: An Appalachian Love Story, I loved reading about the hardships of a time so long ago. Being raised by her grandfather, which I can relate to as my grandmother raised me, Norah, finds happiness in the things her Aunt Leila taught her medicinally and her grandfather taught her musically. To be given a gift of a $7.00 violin from the Sears catalog was an amazing for Norah. I loved the way the story went from past to present, giving so much background and history. Jagged Dawn: Logan’s beginnings, we meet Logan McKenna, the great granddaughter of Norah. Can Logan fight through all the ups and downs and have some new beginnings? And what is in the mysterious package? I love the strong characters in these two prequels and cling to the fact that we can prevail through anything.

Noah expected to inherit the family land when his father died. Until he discovered that in order to do that, he has to get married and stay married for a while. With very few available women, it proves to be a struggle. Mary’s father is tired of taking care of her and wants her married. She has the choice of a not so nice man from the past, or a marriage of convenience with Noah. She chose Noah. When the two first get together, they notice all the differences between them and their backgrounds. Mary is sweet and innocent, and wants nothing more than to secure herself a future better than her past. Noah is a man’s man. He is used to living alone and is surprised in many ways by his new wife.
This was such a wholesome story of self discovery and learning to let someone in. The interactions between Noah and Mary are so sweet. I loved getting to know them and seeing them grow and develop in the story. I am looking forward to reading more stories in this collection.

Divine Vintage is absolutely amazing. Much like Trey, I was a skeptic due to this being my first book that deals with spirits. After only a few paragraphs, I was a believer like Tess. I definitely put this one down as one of my favorite books of the year. The story of Trey is sweet and romantic. The story of Phoebe and Edward is tragic and romantic. Put these two together and it is simply mesmerizing. Well written, multi-layered characters and a well-formed plot make this book insanely difficult to put down. This story invokes so many emotions. I adored Tess and rooted for happiness and well-being all the way through. I kinda hated Brett and had a very visceral reaction to him. Nevertheless, there was no black and white here and it was easy to see the motivations of the characters and empathize with them, even if I didn’t agree. I can’t wait to recommend this book to everyone I know.

I was immediately drawn to this book by its cover! The black background mixed with hints of red and a beautiful geisha made me wonder what secrets hid behind this story. Set during a Revolution in Japan, the main character, Ono Aia has dreamed of becoming a geisha. However, her curves are unlike other geishas and she is ridiculed for her size. On a special night, Aia has the opportunity to be a geisha and meets a mysterious guardsmen named Nen. His dark eyes and large figure scare and intrigue Aia. Soon, he introduces her to a world she’s never experienced before. As Japan transforms its society, adding western influence, Aia questions her future. This was my first book by this author. I enjoyed it very much but wish it was a little longer.

A well written fantasy with detailed world building. A slow lead up resulting in lots of action, romance, fantasy and suspense to keep you hooked. I liked all the characters and found myself easily immersed in their story. This is the first book that I have read by this author, and I will definitely be looking into her others.

This story was fast paced and had me on the edge of my seat throughout. It is a paranormal story with a bit of romance. It contains an arranged marriage, vampires, abusive partners, tragedy, hope and love.
I lost myself in this book and was not able to put it down! I fell in love with the characters easily and felt angry with the villains. It has been a long time since I have been able to fully emerge myself in a book, but this one did it. I can not wait to read book 2. If I had the entire series today, I believe I’d finish it all in a weekend. Highly recommended to young adult readers as well as anyone who loves to get lost in a paranormal story. Possibly slightly triggering to some readers who have been in an abusive relationship. However I felt empowered by the way she dealt with her recovery.

This book has two beautiful stories full of hope and inspiration. Both characters face challenges yet they both overcome. The details are described in such a way that a clear picture just forms in your head. The stories are well written. The characters are so beautiful done (very relatable). You just can’t stop the stories once you start. I highly recommend.

Reverence Of A Ronin By Bree M. Lewandowski Review by Susan Ratchford 5 stars
Ono Aia has always lusted for the life of a geisha even through all the hardships her sisters and her face everyday at the Okiya. It is all she knows in these uncertain times until chance brings her Nen, the deadly swordsman with obsidian eyes who seems entranced by her. She too feels a special connection with him and his larger than life size that overwhelms and excites her. With Nen, Aia learns of a mythical world and Japanese spirits that could threaten the balance of their very existence. Will man’s reality be lost? Or will the balance be maintained? I have never read anything like it! I absolutely enjoyed every second! Bree M. Lewandowski created a beautifully vivid story with characters that are relatable yet otherworldly. I am a big fan of cultural mythologies and love to see them woven into a story so effortlessly and believably. This whimsical and unexpected tale will stay with you long after you finish the last page. I highly recommend this book!

This book is a phenomenal read that will have you yearning for more tales about these unique characters, Aranha, Dag, and Jonah. It made me think of the survival skills of The Hunger Games series mixed with the often unusual adopted family dynamic of The Originals TV show, while also adding in some romantic tensions and tendencies. In other words it has it all including vampires, werewolves, daywalkers, and a kick but take names, snarky spider shifter heroine. **⚠️There are a couple of small trigger warnings in this book.. The first is for talk of suicidal thoughts due to being alone for centuries and having to feed on humans. The second is for one of the secondary characters who deals with trust issues due to having suffered emotional and physical abuse. For me these didn’t hinder the enjoyment of the story at all as it is a great read and it is minimal in grand scheme of the overall story.⚠️**
The dual POV helps you get into the mindset of the characters as they face many adventures and challenges such as Aranha being the last surviving webmaker (Spider shifter). She is just trying to stay hidden under the radar of the vampires and werewolves that can kill her when fate leads her to Dag’s bar where she meets the hunky daywalker for the first time. From there the true adventures begin as they face danger, supernatural politics, mysteries, and other emotions that they aren’t really sure how to handle at first. This is the first book I’ve read by Courtney Davis, but I guarantee it won’t be my last. She has built a world that not only has intriguing primary and secondary characters but an amazing, unique backstory as well. I really enjoyed this book and hope the author gives us more Aranha, Dag, and Jonah.
