Hennessey on the Rocks by Monica DeSimone is a contemporary romance you won’t be able to put down. I was sucked in from the beginning and couldn’t read it fast enough.
Charlie is a successful chef. She’s smart and independent but she’s afraid the city is making her jaded. Charlie decides what she needs is to return to her roots in Maine so, she makes the move back to the quiet coastal town she calls home. While Charlie planned returning to Camden, Jonathan never expected he would return. He really didn’t expect to show up at Charlie’s door either. It’s been a long time for the two of them and there are many secrets between them. Will they be able to keep the secrets or will it ruin everything?
This book was so enjoyable to read. I couldn’t put it down without find out what happened next. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but it won’t be the last!

If Naomi thought solving three murders was going to earn her a respite from the spirits who flock to her for guidance and resolution, she couldn’t have been more wrong. This time around, helping her friend, Officer Miriam Marty, solve a particularly daunting case is just the beginning.
Newly married to her soul mate, Bryce, Naomi figured she could settle in and enjoy the first few months of marriage without the all-consuming task of helping the spirits around her find the closure they so desperately seek. She should have known there was no chance of normalcy, though—even her stepdaughter Holly’s quirky new friend, Lillie, adds to the confusion.
This time, Naomi’s challenge is unique. Not only does she have to put her heart and soul into helping an intricate, beautiful ghost, but this precious soul soon teaches Naomi that her path in life, her fate, has led her to precisely where she needs to be.
Everything about Naomi’s past experiences with the paranormal crashes together as Naomi becomes entwined in the entangled plot that has become her life, alongside the unique souls that complete her destiny.

Wow! Holy moly this book was awesome! This isn’t my first book by this author and it won’t be my last! I think this is my favorite book that I have read by her, it was so good. It was suspenseful & steamy! I couldn’t put it down. This story kept me on the edge of my seat and the fact that it was in multiple POVs made for even more of an interesting story. The main character are likeable and I felt like I was in the story with them. I cannot wait to get my hands on more by this author and I would absolutely recommend this to a friend!

In this story, Eliza wins a singing contest/reality show to become the lead singer of a band. One night, after a show, she is attacked and left for dead. Her brother is a police officer and former military and he brings in a member of his former team to act as her body guard once she comes out of her coma. Renegade has to take the assignment. When a brother calls, you answer. He and Eliza have an instant attraction that could cause problems on the case. But he takes his job very seriously and vows to keep her safe while her brother works on finding her attacker.
This story was an interesting read, but for me, I wanted more details. There were things that were really skipped over and left up to you to make assumptions on how things occurred, but I think it was just because it was such a short story. It’s a good beginning to the series and I think it will only get better as the series goes on. The characters had great potential and intriguing personalities. I look forward to learning more about them. You’ve got to love a group of hot alpha military men! And Eliza is a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants and is willing to fight for it.

This is the first book that I’ve read from Raven White and I wasn’t disappointed. Between the action and romance I couldn’t put the book down. The story was so imaginative and I loved the characters. I loved how this renegade mercenary which once was this bada$$ military man now is a body guard fro his best friend’s little sister (I’m a total sucker for these stories). I can’t wait to read more from this series

Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White
5-Stars
Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White was an excellent action packed romance. Sam aka Renegade is a former military member now mercenary who is called to return a favor to his friend Sparrow. Sparrow’s sister Eliza has been attacked recently and wakes in the hospital confused. She is not sure who attacked her an why. Renegade is to be her protector. Sparks fly when the two meet and the danger intensifies. The two must work together to stop her attacker and maintain her safety.
I loved this short story. I was able to read it in one sitting. I am excited to see what comes next in this series. I loved all the characters and how well they were developed for such a short read. Eliza and Renegade were amazing. I loved following them and also the wit and humor they shared in their conversations. The storyline was easy to follow and organized. I loved that several supporting characters also had their own sections which played an important role in the development of the story. It had an excellent plot and climax as well. I was definitely hooked immediately with this book. I highly recommend it!

Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White 4 stars
This is a new to me author, and I must say i will be looking for more from now on. Eliza wakes in a hospital having been attacked and her big brother there wanting to help protect her. He calls in Renegade, and boy oh boy do the sparks fly. I read this book pretty quickly and a lot happens that just needs to be read. But just know, it ticks all the boxes i look for in a romance book and I couldn’t read it fast enough. Must read.

Forbidden Love: Written by Lisa Jones Gentry as Told by Their Son Joe Steele is a book that stays with you for a while. When I started reading it, I felt as if something or someone reached out and grabbed hold of my heart and started squeezing it and never let go … Forbidden Love tells the story of Joe Steele’s parents – Father William Grau and Sister Sophie Legocki. You got it right; it is a story of forbidden love between a Catholic priest and a Catholic nun. Their story is an emotional journey and it is not just their story, it is also Joe’s story as everything William and Sophie did, had an impact on his life and on their lives … the pain of giving away your child… how does one live with the kind of pain … In addition to the personal story of his parents, Joe also gives us he story of the time his parents and himself grew up in that gives us even deeper understanding into who they were/are … You will not regret picking up a copy!

Rule the first book in the Larussio Legacy was a 2 for 1 full of suspense – more of older characters and meeting new ones. We get more of Chase and Kate for the Prestian series (which I SO need to read!) but I fell for them in Torzial Affair series. Plus you meet Gio and Serena and see the start of their emotional love story.
With every Via Mari book, I get sucked into a world that I can’t get enough of. She knows how to keep you on the edge and deliver some sexy melt the pages moments. I am impatiently waiting to see what will happen next.

Set it Free (Fallen Eagles MC Book 3) By T. Birmingham 5 out of 5 stars
The story Set it Free (Fallen Eagles MC Book 3) by T. Birmingham is a romantic suspense book. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is the story of Spring Markham and Callum “Casper” Gordon. I loved reading about both of them. Spring is a woman who has always been there for others. She is intelligent, beautiful, and stubborn. She is haunted by a past trauma that has made her build walls to make her safe. One person who at times sees around those walls is Callum. Callum is a man who wants to be the one that Spring turns to. He takes what she gives him, however, he wants more with her. Will Spring see how much Callum wants to be more to her? Will she drink her life away and ruin all of the relationships that she currently has? What does the future hold for Callum and Spring? Read this book to find out. This story had my emotions going up and down the entire time. I grew to truly care what happened to Spring and Callum. I wanted them to be happy. This is the third book in an amazing series that I have loved reading. There are other characters in the story, some of them I recognize from the first two books and love to read about them again. There are scenes in this story that make it suspenseful and I wondered what would happen next. I highly recommend reading this story.

Second Chance (The Flowers in December Trilogy, book 3) By Jane Suen 5 out of 5 stars
The story Second Chance (The Flowers in December Trilogy, book 3) by Jane Suen takes you on an emotional journey that doesn’t end until the final page. It pulled me in from the beginning and I found my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I love the characters of Mary Ann and Connor Norton. Connor thinks that he has lost Mary Ann. Can Connor win her back? Read this book to find out. This is the third story in the series, and I loved it just as much as the first two. I couldn’t help but root for Connor and Mary Ann to find happiness together. I enjoyed that the story takes place in a small town and residents look out for one another. There are a few other characters that are introduced. I enjoyed reading about their interactions with Connor and Mary Ann. Don’t miss out on a story that will tug at your heart and give you the “feels.” I highly recommend reading it.

I couldn’t wait to dive into this read! I loved experiencing new authors and to make this even better its one of my favourite genres of book – MC.
I absolutely loved this book I was captivated with the story from beginning till the end and didn’t want it to stop! As with most MC reads, this book was steamy, it had romance, it had action, adventure and drama all rolled into one brilliant fast-paced, action-packed read!
I loved Cort & Seren they have brilliant chemistry and attraction and I loved following their journey. These characters are well developed and really help make the story that more realistic. I absolutely loved this read and so glad I got the chance to read this and get a new author to look out for!
I can’t wait to see what else comes to this series and what else this author will bring us.

Renegade by Raven White is the first book in the Mercenaries series. This is a well written book that will sweep you along with the story. The main characters in this story had such a great chemistry. It was brilliant to read about them together and I liked their interactions immediately. The author did a great job with the story too. It had the right amount of action and romance to make it exciting. It was a nice easy story to read. The kind of book that you can lose yourself in for few hours. For me this is the perfect lazy afternoon read, hot alpha male, feisty female to keep him on his toes. I am looking forward to reading more from this series.

Rule by Via Mari is the first book in the Larussio Legacy series. This is another fantastic book by this author. Although this is the first in the series the author has brought in characters from previous books which I do think would be worth reading first. Every time I think these characters are finished with, every time I think the author cannot possibly do any more with them, she completely proves me wrong. This book was brilliant. The characters were as strong and compelling as ever. The capture your attention with ease. And the story is just brilliant. From the moment I started reading I knew I was going to have to finish the book in one sitting. I cannot wait to read what else is to come!

Forbidden Love: Written by Lisa Jones Gentry: As Told by Their Son Joe Steele is a true story that tells a tale of love, vows, religion, race, segregation, and a long running passionate affair. This romance between a priest and a nun, produces a child who is put up for adoption. This is his story of how he discovered who his birth parents were, and how they defied the church, and society with the love they shared. This was an interesting story. Told from the perspective of Joe Steele, their son. A story of how love always finds a way, and doesn’t discriminate. Well worth the read!

Recall: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn is the sixth book in the Ash Park series. This story can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the preceding books. Detective Petrosky is finally feeling in a good place but of course things don’t always stay the same. After a councilman’s son is murdered things start to get out of control. This story is dark and gritty but there are moments of humor to break the tension. This is so well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. I always reading books in this series despite the serious topics that are brought up. I look forward to reading more from Meghan O’Flynn in the future.

I am so glad I added this book to the many I’ve already read by this author. This was such a simple read yet full of so much to keep you thinking all the way till the end. It was a one sitting read for me because I could not make myself put it down.
This author does a great job weaving a mystery with great characters and great storylines. This one had me all messed up jumping from one scenario to another and finally figuring it all out but loving how it played out, then thinking it was all cupcakes and unicorns from there on only to have another twist thrown in that for me personally came out of left field, never even occurred to me I guess because I was so focussed on the other part of the story. Loved it!! Well Played Miss Moore!
I loved Dawn, and her reactions to things were alot like I imagine mine would have been..but I think my favorites in the book aside from her would definitely have to be Jerome and Dorothy, and of course Scratch-off, he made me smile.
If I had one negative I would have loved another epilogue that included David, but I’ll just have to let my imagination figure that one out 🙂

I loved this book. I was pulled in right from the beginning. It is an engaging story that I read in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down once I started it. The characters made the story realistic and I had no problem imagining myself with them. Callum doesn’t want a committed relationship until he meets Spring. She is a mess but he can’t seem to stay away from her. Spring has dreams but will she change them to be with him. I highly recommend reading their story and find out what happens with them.

This is the third book in this series and the conclusion. I am a little sad to see it end but I am excited to see what next this author will have for us. This is a second chance romance story that I read in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down. It pulled me in right from the beginning and kept me engaged to the end. Will Mary Ann and Connor get their second chance at love? This is an emotional roller coaster you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book. It was completely unique and different than anything else ive read in a long time.
I stayed kind of confused the first bit trying to figure out some things but as it went on I knew why, one conversation between Charlie and her friend put it all in perspective for me. I read this in one sitting because I enjoyed every word and couldn’t put it down. I think the children in this story were my favorite part, their characters were written perfectly..Another favorite was that I felt like I could visualize every part of Charlie’s home and wanted to transport myself there and never return.
I loved the relationship that was shared by all..Family, even if it was strained in many ways and actually got worse..family was still the feeling I got while reading.
I think it was awesome how I went into this book thinking the title meant one thing and it turned out I was so off base and had so much of a deeper meaning and that ending… I had the biggest smile.

Hennessey on the Rocks is my first book by DeSimone and won’t be the last. This story has quite a few feels throughout. Lots of hurting and misunderstanding between the main characters of Johnnie and Charlie. The kids, Abie and Jace, are so super cute and funny and stuck in the middle of adult crap. However, I do like the way this author makes the kids put the adult situations right back on the adults!
This story is easy to read in that the plot is well written and flows naturally. The story itself, the heart ache of the characters, is what hurts. Good overall story and will read more from this author in the future.

Rule (The Larussio Legacy Book 1) by Via Mari. So Via Mari is most absolute favorite author! Anything that has her name on it I’m reading it. I really wish this series would be turned into a movie because it would be amazing! This is story of Katarina Larussio Preestian who is left to run her dad’s business when he is left injured from a Mob hit. Katarina is married to Chase Prestian one of the wealthiest men in the world and he wants to protect Katarina but also give her the freedom she needs to do her business. Also in the mix is Giovanni Larussio, Katarina’s cousin who is next in line to be the Don for the Italian family but he’s caught between his Italian family and other obligations. Serena Morettis is working for Giovanni who she is highly attracted to. Will she be able to resist the temptation of Giovanni. When you read a book and it stays with you, you know you’ve read something special. That’s how I feel every time I read Via Mari book. Read Rule you will not be disappointed!

Well what can I say about Forbidden Love by Lisa Jones Gentry: As Told By Their Son Joe Steele? This book is like nothing I’ve ever read and I was totally consumed by it and did not want to put it down. How dare I have to go to work and spoil my reading pleasure. Forbidden Love is the true story of Black Catholic Priest William Grau and white nun Sophie Legocki. The story is being told by their son Joe Steele. The story comes from conversations with Sophie as she lay on her hospital bed nearing the end of her life and also Joe’s own memories. This is a beautiful story of forbidden love. Forbidden in more than one way. Firstly William (or Billy as he is known) is a Catholic priest and Sophie is a nun. Secondly, their love started in the USA in the 1950’s when race relations were at their worst. A black man and a white woman together was a major taboo and Billy and Sophie faced danger many times when they were seen together. Reading this book it is obvious that Billy and Sophie were deeply in love with one another. As devoted as they both were to God, their love for each other was so deep that they could not be apart. As forbidden as their love was, even as a Catholic myself, I wanted this couple to be together, They deserved to be together. This book is wonderful. I would 100% recommend this book and I guarantee that you will be moved by this beautiful love story.

I really liked the idea of this story. This is a second chance love story. My major issue is there is just a bit too much of thinking inside their heads for me. The story otherwise was good but the back half was a quicker paced story.
I can’t write this review and not mention the children in this story. They are two of the most adorable kids. They are highly intelligent (maybe a bit too much for their age) and full of charm and wit. The animals and their craziness add some fun here as well.
The title of the story is perfect for both Hennessey’s. They each get their time on the rocks. The author did a nice job incorporating the title into the story. I love this because it works in so many planes.

I have read a few books by this author now and I know that I am going to be in for an intriguing read and Somebody in the Neighbourhood was no exception. I was engaged form the very beginning until the end. There was a great level of suspense that ran through the book and I loved guessing what was going to happen. Ms Moore always manages to keep me guessing throughout her stories with some great twists and turns. I really liked Dawn – the main character in the story – she was determined to find out what had happened to her aunt. Alongside Dawn were some great secondary characters that I felt really added something to the story – they were all really well developed. I would highly recommend Somebody in the Neighbourhood to anyone who loves a good crime story – I definitely don’t think you will be disappointed!
