My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Opposites do more than attract in this steamy romance, they explode in heat! Despite her tiny size, it’s a good thing Leslie is a firefighter. Reading what she goes through makes me want to fight for women’s rights. Trevor is more than a football player, he’s a man among men. Supportive, sexy, and three times the size of Leslie. Whether he’s sacking a quarterback or dancing in ballet tights, he’s a man all women would like to spend time with. I don’t know football, but I had no problem following the plot in this sizzler.

Daire's DevilsDaire’s Devils by Danielle Ackley-McPhail
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really good fast paced adventure. The author does an amazing job of describing the scenes to make the world out in space seem as realistic as possible. You feel yourself caught up in the story and guessing the motives of every character you meet.
It’s a story about a special ops group called Daire’s devils. They are at the far ends of space protecting the colony from invaders. It seems a straight forward job until someone trys to get their hands on a new prototype aircraft. The problem is is the enemy someone from the outside or someone within their ranks.

It becomes a guessing game trying to unravel who is behind it all and leaves you feeling throughout that story that you can’t trust anyone even the people you think you know.

Wildcat (MetroGen After Hours #1)
By Carina Alyce

3-stars

This is the first book I’ve read by this author so I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I was really intrigued by the synopsis and couldn’t wait to read more about the characters, but once I started, I found myself feeling slightly disappointed.

The storyline itself didn’t really flow, the pace of the storyline is incredibly fast and a little bit choppy as there was also diary excerpts that didn’t really seem to fit into the storyline.

The relationship between the characters developed really fast, and I wasn’t able to catch up and really feel the connection and romance between them. I am all for a confident, strong and independent woman I just had a hard time connecting with Leslie.

Though this wasn’t my favourite book I am all for second chances and will definitely try something else by this author in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not the first book I have read by this author, so I knew what I was getting from the start. I’ve read the previous books in this series, and she didn’t disappoint me with this one either. I love that this series focuses on a group of women that have such a family bond proving that family isn’t always by blood. She does such a wonderful job describing the characters and their bond. I love how she lets the relationship form on its own while also having you biting your nails waiting for it to happen. She does such a great job telling their stories while also keeping some secrets from one another until the time is right to bring them into the story. She is a wonderful author, and this is another wonderful book by her. It’s not required that you read the entire series. You could just pick this one up and read it. However, I highly recommend them all to you.

After a roadside bomb leaves her burned, former Army Sergeant Gina Fisher takes comforter in teaching online and sewing.

But her inner peace may come to an end when arson Inspector Byrce Cambridge takes an interest in her but she shoots him down. Seeing him again the next day at the bowling alley, Gina can’t resist the connection between them.

I really enjoyed this novel and I felt that the female protagonist being the one that is scarred and a former sergeant when I usually see that as part of the male protagonist to be different and refreshing in a way.

This was definitely a love worth fighting for and worth a read.

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am totally in love with this series and it’s only Book 2! I absolutely love how McKinley is incorporating characters from the previous book. I would definitely recommend reading these books in order. You will get more of an appreciation of the characters and their development. Much like the first book, McKinley hooks you in! I absolutely love the flashback at the beginning of Sofia and Enzo. I think it gives incredible insight into their feelings and ultimately, their relationship. I really enjoyed seeing Sofia and Enzo’s relationship grow. There are many times throughout the book where the reader isn’t sure if they will or if they won’t end up together. Normally this type of push and pull irritates me, but McKinley does it well and gives the characters valid reasons for making the decisions they do.

One of the aspects I love of this series is McKinley’s development of her female characters. They are strong, independent women who can handle business on their own, but they don’t mind asking for or accepting help. They aren’t wimpy, scared girls hiding in the corner; they are right up front with the men when it goes down. I really appreciate the way McKinley has developed her female characters.

This is an excellent continuation of The Mafia Elite series.

Power Play (Astoria Bay Thunder #1)Power Play by C.J. Cartwright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is book one of the series. I absolutely loved this second chance romance!

Brynn and Levi have a past. Because of Brynn’s meddling mother, they went their separate ways. Now post divorce, Brynn’s life is a lot different than she thought it would be. After setting her dreams aside for far too long Brynn decides it’s time she do something for herself. On a whim, she wins tickets to a hockey game, never imagining coming face to face with Levi. Will Brynn and Levi be able to use this second chance to their advantage or is the past too much to bare?

I really enjoyed these characters. Brynn is resilient and I really enjoyed that about her. Her whole life changes and she just rolls with it as tough as it is. I really enjoyed her and Levi together as well. Can’t wait to read more of this series.

This book packed a lot of emotions. A lot of heavy, but humor and sweetness too. Gina worked hard to build her life up after her devastating military injury. But that hurt lingers and her insecurities bleed through this story. I wanted to scream at her to get. Her. Man. Because I absolutely loved Bryce. I loved the chemistry and connection. This wasn’t the first book I’ve read by Marianne Rice, and it won’t be the last!

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of the most enjoyable ones by this author that I have read. This is a well written story where enemies could just be someone you trust. A story where a group of special ops, Diarie’s Devils, are ready to defend their colony against an invasion like no other. This is a story that is fast paced and full of action. The characters are relatable and bring the story to life. This is an engaging story that was hard to put down.

I really had a lot of enjoyment reading this novel. I had not read the previous one, but I certainly will be now. I rally loved how the story came together with the characters. It was fun, and full of surprises, and it certainly kept me on my toes. It was very delightful to read from start to finish.

For me I loved the character’s and their personalities. i loved how different they were and could be. There was no awkward meshing, everything blended together perfectly. They made the story intriguing and full of wonder. I enjoyed all of the character development seen as well.

I enjoyed the adventure of the plot as well. it was different, and seriously I wanted to join the Sisterhood of Witches myself haha. Arabella was a strong character who had her own character development had really added to the events of the plot. I loved how her decisions made such a impact. Great read!

This is a well written story by an author that has great writing skills and their use of attention to details made the story realistic. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters who made the story easy to read. This is a fast paced scientific fantasy story that was not only hard to put down but also kept me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next. I really enjoyed what the characters brought to the story and their growth throughout. The growth of the plot also made the story great. This is a great story that I highly recommend picking up today.

What a great read! From the first page on the story moves along at a good pace and the writing is so smooth. I love that in a book! The story is filled with love, stressors, military women, distrust and a fireman. Really covers everything..oh plus there is girl besties! I enjoyed all the ups and downs and meeting all the characters. They made me laugh, wonder and have doubt a couple times. I really loved how Bryce was all googly-eyed at Gina and not deterred by her refusal. Then I could feel how happy he was when she finally agreed. I felt like fist bumping him!

Overall a wonderful story. I have not read the previous ones but the characters they produce really added to this one. I look forward to more.

Power Play is the first book in the Astoria Bay Thunder Series. This is a Second Chance Hockey Romance that once you start reading you won’t want to put down till you finish. The characters are relatable and fully developed and the authors style of writing simply amazes me. This second chance romance had my emotions all over the place . Levi is the Captain of a local Professional Hockey team and Brynn is recently divorced and trying to get her life back. These two had a summer romance years ago and now he wants to win her back,she’s the one that got away and he never stopped loving her. Can they reunite? Is it to late for them to have a relationship? The chemistry between these to wow! I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. This is definitely a great start to this series I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Emotional roller coaster to happiness
Bryce and Gina’s story. This had all the feels. The author handled sensitive issues with ease and presented a love story filled with a rawness and honesty that made it so much more relatable. Gina’s insecurities and Bryce’s fears hit close to home. A beautiful story filled with hope, some drama and a whole lotta love. This is the third book in the series, can be read as a stand alone but the characters from the previous books do appear in this book too. Looking forward to Skylar’s story.

At the beginning, I was a little skeptical to where the story was going to go. But after reading further, it became very engaging. I really enjoyed seeing how the different parts of the Gordon family came to be and what happened to them.

I couldn’t put this book down! This book is amazing, it’s romantic, heart wrenching, sweet, steamy and funny all at once. Levi and Brynn were the love of each other’s lives, but a series of misunderstandings tore them apart. Ten years passed and neither could shake the other from their mind or their hearts and fate brought them back together. The chemistry between them is undeniable even when they haven’t realized that know each other, there’s that pull between them. I loved watching them discover each other again. There are so many parts that made me laugh out loud, swoon and tear up. This book is so good that I can’t wait to read the next in this series. There are some amazing characters introduced that I can’t wait to learn more about!

I was surprised by the background of the main character and the way the author wrote about the incident that directed the main character’s life was impactful. The author was able to weave in so much about the south past and present I really felt like I was getting to know the family. I also have to admit being in the mental health field and a PNW native made me like the author even more and I’ll definitely be keeping my eye out for more books by her.

This was a good four star read.
After divorce Brynn is starting life over with her cat and following her dream of photography.
She ends up doing a job at a very ritzy home where she meets someone who will bring her in the path of someone from her past.

She also wins a radio contest to go to the hockey game. This is where she see’s Levi and he realizes who she is and old sparks start to fly. With a twist she ends up shooting a calendar for the team at Levi’s cabin. Will this finally be the time for them to reconnect? What will happen when the truth finally comes out?

Overall this was a good read. Brynn had me LOL with her thoughts, she was quirky and down to earth. Levi was of course the hot hockey player who wanted his first love back. There are twists and turns and the secondary characters added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a fun 2nd Chance romance 1-click and get started today.
