Irrevocable (Fated #3)Irrevocable by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Irrevocable is the third book in the Fated series by A.S. Roberts that ​is an contemporary romance with mystery and ​suspense, action and intrigue. ​A.S. Roberts books are ​eroticlly romantic with sexy alpha men who are hot and large and in charge. I suggest you read the books in order so you learn more about the loveable characters and the world A.S. has so wonderfully written.

John Edwards doesn’t do feelings and that makes him good at his job and being good at his job that is why he is head of security for the Blackmore’s. When he and his team are called to take care of extended family, his plans to do everything by the book are lost when he sets his sights on one of his charges.

Jasmin Carpenter is content with her life. She loves her dog and the cottage that has ties to her heart. But when a stranger shows up late at night, little does she know that her life will never be the same.

Who doesn’t like a good adventure story with twists and turns and enough romance that will make you blush.

Spirited Away (Resort Romances #4)Spirited Away by Mary Billiter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Spirited Away is the fourth book in the Resort Romances series by Mary Billiter that everything you need to make a great story. It is a romance with a healthy dose of mystery and suspense, action and intrigue. Mary is good at weaving a good story of crime and passion that leaves you wanting more and falling in love with her to life characters.

Reese is the new General Manager and can’t wait to get stuck in to the role. When she learns first hand of the mystery and intrigue that the old hotel holds, she finds herself drawn into a whole other world. Will Reese be able to put together all the pieces of the puzzle, of the mysterious presence at the hotel? Or will fate have other plans?

I enjoy reading Mary’s work, and the historical background that lays a great foundation to build the rest of the story. I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and can’t wait for more.

Another Backwards ChristmasAnother Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams is a fun holiday story. Southpole, Alaska is a fun, small town that celebrates Christmas with a twist. Rob Joleigh is a writer with a Scrooge attitude concerning the holidays. Holly Howard is a tour guide in town. What will happen when the two meet on a snowy night? The setting is charming and the town has a quirky group of residents. This is the type of place that makes the holidays fun and meaningful.
The characters are fun and charming. I really enjoyed this story and read this at record speed. This story helped to put me in the Christmas spirit and I had to get my tree up immediately. This is a fun, enjoyable quick read that can be enjoyed by all. The unspirited are challenged as well as the spirited and a town comes together to help one another. I look forward to reading more from Brooke Williams.

Amelia and the Viscount (Bluestocking Brides, #1)Amelia and the Viscount by Samantha Holt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amelia and the Viscount by Samantha Holt is the first book in her Bluestocking Brides series that is a sweet short read that takes you among the British nobility where a lot is going on under the polite and shiny surface.
It is the eldest of the Chadwick girls, Amelia, and Lord Nicholas Wentworth who are the heroine and hero of this particular Bluestocking Brides’ story. Amelia has been in love with Lord Nicholas for ever but he thought himself to be in love with Amelia’s younger sister Lavinia who did not choose him and married a Scottish lad (that of course the titled crowd had a lot to say about). So the whole story is about Amelia trying to get over Nicholas and Nicholas finally realizing what has been in front of him and all this happens while the sisters banter back and forth and …
The writer has a way with words and the story is enjoyable and as it is a short one so how much can you expect? I did miss to know more about the sisters and also who Nicholas really was but as I said, short story has its limitations. If you want to mingle with the titled ones and feel good, make yourself a cup of tea (or hot chocolate or toddy) and pick up Amelia and the Viscount!

Love On a Limb: A Love Story For All Seasons by Laurie Lewis

5 Stars…it deserves so many more!

With tears in my eyes as I just finished reading this amazing work of art I couldnt wait one second to jump in here and review this book!

I have read so many books this year, and in my life. Ive many times read and been touched by a book and claimed that it was my favorite for that year or whatever. I can honestly, straight from the heart say that NO BOOK has ever touched me the way this book has. Books often grip me and take my emotions on a ride but this one, this one will hold on forever. Im praying I’ll someday find that she has a paperback of this book because I need this in my life and on my shelf.

This is not the first book I’ve read by this author, I’ve loved her way of words, her way of grabbing a hold and hanging on, these people she writes about are so so real. If there is an even remote possibility that there is a negative to mention about this story, it’s only that it ended and I could have read about these two amazing people for days. Matt is the ultimate Book Boyfriend and I will compare every male lead to him from this point on. Mikaela follows suit with being the ultimate heroine.Watching these two progress from where they started to where they ended up was written so beautifully and has tore my heart right out of my chest. I don’t know what to say except that this was a brilliantly awesome amazing piece of writing. Every single emotion that should have been felt while reading this I promise was felt and I could not hold back the tears during some of the scenes. This strengthened my belief in hope, promises, miracles, and prayers as well as things definitely not turning out like you thought they would.

Many Many Thanks to Miss Lewis for a story that rises above and sets the bar high for all the stories I will still read in my future, some Ill love, some I won’t, but this one will always stand up as one of the greatest. I already can’t wait to reread it!!

Beachcomber Test (Beachcomber Investigations #7)Beachcomber Test by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beachcomber Test: Beachcomber Investigations is book 7 in A Romantic Detective series by Stephanie Queen and it is just as good as the others and I can’t get enough of them. I love reading about these wonderful characters that Stephanie has created and the world she has created for them. You should read all books in order so that you get the back and continuing stories of the crazy goings on and positions they always find themselves in. There is suspense and mystery, laughter and love, bad guys and good guys.

Our lovable characters, Dane and Shana and their motley crue, find themselves once again involved in more than they thought possible, when they took on a seemingly easy, open and shut case. But as we have come to know and love them, we know that nothing is ever as it seems and nothing is ever that easy.

Do yourselves a favour and get a copy of this series and sit back and enjoy the ride with a cuppa or a glass of your fav drink. I guarantee you will love this series as much as I do.

Bulletproof ButterflyBulletproof Butterfly by Anna Brooks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bulletproof Butterfly by Anna Brooks is the second book I have read by this writer and I am happy to state that I was sooo right, she is one hell-of-a-writer! The way she writes, oh my, it pulls you in and doesn’t let you go until you get to the end where you read that there will be another book and you make mental ‘whoopee doo” and set a mental reminder to keep a look out for it!
Bulletproof Butterfly is a heart breaking witness protection story of Jay “Jaybird” and Livvie “Butterfly”. Jay is a young cop chasing a mob boss who has managed to slip through cracks for ever. Livvie is an aspiring event organizer at a bar who dreams of becoming a wedding planner. They have been together for 2 years and they are starting to merge their lives until their existence is blow into smithereens. It results in them being apart from each other for years … So the story that is told from alternating point of views spans over many years and throughout the reading you are holding your breath and wishing for them to find a way back to each other and … The writer takes us on a journey of re-discovery and at no point it is given that we will have our happily ever after, she has kept it all as close to the reality as possible. Thank you for not cutting corners and letting us run gamut with the doubt and hope and love and misunderstandings and … simply what it means to live. I will be on a lookout for the next story!

Inevitable (Fated #2)Inevitable by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Inevitable is the second book in the Fated series by A.S. Roberts and is every bit as great as the first book. This is a sexy, steamy romance that will leave you wanting more as we delve into love, loss and bearing your soul of one person’s past. A.S. has the knack to make the characters feel real and quickly draws you into the world in which she weaves and what a ride it is.

Bella is unable to move forward until she deals with her past. A past that has been hanging over her head for far too long. A past she needs to face head on. But in doing so will she have missed out on the most important thing in her life? Will time have gotten in the way of love and leave her with nothing?

Nathan is on sexy man on wheels but he has not been the same since the only thing that matters walked out of his life. He can have who ever he wants but what he wants he can’t have. What he needs isn’t in reach. What he craves can not be seen.

A.S. has become one of my favourite authors and I can’t wait to see what is next in this wonderful series.

The House that Adelia BuiltThe House that Adelia Built by Mya O’Malley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The House that Adelia Built by Mya O’Malley is a haunting tale of love and loss, lies and betrayals. There are ghosts and mysteries with lots of twists and turns. The story is told as two different stories one from the past and one in the present, one more sinister than the other. Mya is good at what she does, paranormal romance.

Adelia and her new husband find themselves on an adventure to a beautiful place to start their married life. Both full of dreams in the beginning only to find those dreams drifting away, but why?

Hope is having dreams but are they really dreams and what do they mean? Is there something that she needs to know? Can she unravel the mystery before it’s too late or has time already run out? What will Hope find?

This story is full of heartbreak and sorrow and will keep you guessing at what will happen next. I was a bit unsure about the ending but this story is full of suspense and intrigue and bound to give you a thrill.

This is not my first book by this author, and again will not be my last. I love her writing style and how the words of whatever story she writes just flow so easily. She’s so creative and I love not knowing what I’m going to get whenever I open one of her books.

This was an extremely quick and fun read. Each story took a few pages to tell but were so full of emotion that my thoughts and imagination made the stories so much longer. The first one definitely made me smile, the second one made me sad, then hopeful, and the third one was probably my favorite and made me feel content and the bonus story at the end made me laugh out loud, once I realized what I was reading I had to read it again to fully appreciate it.

Great book, I loved it!

Goddess Of The Wild ThingGoddess Of The Wild Thing by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goddess of The Wild Thing by Paul DeBlassie III is a fantasy-thriller story with some romance mixed in. This is my first story by this author and I can’t wait to see what else he has for us. I enjoyed his writing style that pulled me in from the beginning. His attention to details where descriptive and made a situation or item stand out more. His characters where creative and interesting. They will take you on some twists and turns that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat just waiting to see what will happen next. You never know what you might find lurking in the next page. This is the story of Eve who has had some bad experiences with men and has pretty much given up on love. Then she meets him, will he be able to change her opinion on love? Eve and her three friends go on a journey of discovering if one should just take what they can get good or bad. They meet some wicked witch who has a obsession with a man that could be threatening and put lives in danger. Eve struggles with deciding if she should take a chance on love but a battle between good and evil just might make it an easy choice for her. I enjoyed the characters in this story as well as the secondary characters. These four women has kind of a strange relationship with each other as they are friends but don’t always seem to like each other. They each have their own qualities that make them strong characters. They will just take you on a journey to find love that will leave you wanting to know more. I highly recommend this story as it is an easy flowing story that you won’t be able to put down until the last page. Find out if these four women find the love they are looking for.

All the Light There Is (The Healing Edge, #3)All the Light There Is by Anise Eden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All the Light There Is by Anise Eden is the conclusion of her Healing Edge trilogy and what a bang it ends with! You cannot read it as a standalone, it is part of the trilogy and you’d be so lost not having read the previous 2 books. It is sad to have come to the end of the journey we started a while ago but all good things come to an end.
All the Light There Is continues where the previous story ended. Cad and Ben think that they are going on a vacation, a working vacation but still a vacation … could they be less wrong? Have they forgotten that they are on an adventure where paranormal mysteries pop up left and right and that their special skillset are needed to solve them?
Cade and Ben cannot solve the mysteries alone so we will have the whole MacGregor Group gang along on the ride where we find out more about who Cate is, who is after them, where we learn what it takes to come out at the other end! It is a story full of mystery, romance and paranormal! It gets so twisted that you are no longer sure who you can trust and who not … The writer has taken a notch up and the way she gives us these heroes and the bad guys … oh man, she really knows how to spin a story! I love the how the different characters contribute to the story in their unique way and they are all needed to bring it home!

April Showers Bring May Flowers (New Haven Police Romance Book 2)April Showers Bring May Flowers by Renee Grace Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

April Showers Bring May Flowers by Renee Grace Thompson is the second book in her New Haven Police Romance series. I had not read the first book when I read this one and I had no issues to follow the story line. I got curious though and will read the first book that is Amy and Peter’s story as well …
April Showers Bring May Flowers is a sweet and sassy romance story of Lucy and Cade. Lucy is an amazing young woman who has moved to a new town and thinks that she is all alone. I loved how upfront she was and spat out everything that crossed her mind! She was such a badass fairy (she is tiny in her stature compared to the other characters). AND she was absolutely terrified of all kind of crawlies (you can just picture all kind of funny moments now, right?) Cade was this no-nonsense man who had a heart a size of a sun, he had his demons and he worked really hard on trusting the others. I loved how those two embarked on a journey to find themselves and each other.
There were times when I was laughing out loud when reading … There were times when I was crying out loud when I was reading … Ms Thompson knows how to pull us in and the way she spins the story, oh my … The way we can relate to these two down to earth people that care for others … Thank you for giving us their story! It is a beautiful romance that leaves no heart untouched!

Holy Moly what a book!! I can honestly say I have never read a book that even compares to this one, but that doesn’t surprise me because as I’ve said in previous reviews for her other books (which were blow me away awesome) this author has the most creative mind and she absolutely shatters me every time I read one of her stories.

I’m not even going to try to sum this book up, I wouldn’t know where to start unless I just copy and paste her synopsis. I will say this though…The characters of Damian, Jenn, Ashley, Nick and Leo were written perfectly as well as the others but those five were just plain awesome. This hit on every one of my emotions, there were parts of the story I was scared, angry, like throw my kindle kind of angry, heartbroken, excited, happy, and sometimes confused, and the transition from one emotion to the next wasn’t always easy. I literally read this book in one sitting because there was no way I could put it down, the twists were placed perfectly, and the writing style was perfect. It moved along quickly with no “fluff” thrown in along the way.

I love this author, she is an absolute genius. You just never know what her next book is going to bring and I think that’s simply brilliant.

Ill admit that although Im so excited about what she thinks of next, I’m also a little scared to see what she thinks of next. LOL

LOVED IT!!!

Fatal Heir is the first book in the Fatal series by L.C. Ireland and is a fantasy paranormal story and an enjoyable read. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I found her writing style easy and interesting characters as she took me into another world. This story has lots of mystery and suspense with lots of twists and turns. The characters were great and they will take you on an adventure with twist and turns here and there.

This story is about Don a young man whose life is suddenly turn upside down. Upon finding himself in trouble he finds out that he is not who he thought he was. When faced with evil he wants to put a stop to it and tries to make things right. Will he be able to stop the evil taking over the world? Will he be lured into the evil that haunts him?

Stripped by Tarrah Anders is an erotica romance story and is the first book I have read by her. It is an enjoyable read and gives you a look into the life of male dancers and what they go through. I enjoyed reading about our characters who I fell in love with. This is one sweet and juicy, sexy and funny ride that will ensure your entertainment and enjoyment.

Malcolm is one sweet, sexy and confident with himself man. He works hard to ensure he will be able to hopefully reach his life’s dream. When he literally runs into one sweet and sassy woman he finds it hard to get her out his head. If only she would give him a chance.

Rebekah is not afraid to say what she thinks and is non judgmental but when it comes to being face to face with the job of someone she loves and all it encompasses she is not sure what to think and how to deal with it. Can she overcome her feelings, her doubts, her fears and find what is important to her before she loses the best thing to come into her life?

This story is worth the read and I can’t wait to read what she writes next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Havoc: A Silent Sons MC Novel Book Two by Ambere Sabo and I was excited to read more about the characters from the first book and this Biker world that Ambere has created. This book as with the first is full of revenge and retribution, hatred and fear, fire and passion and will certainly play with all your emotions. With lots of twists and turns, steaming romances, sassy females and loyally fierce bikers what more can you ask for.

When Havoc hears what his father has done this time, his rage is inflamed and he has only one thing in mind revenge. One too many secrets and one too many lies will not save him this time but how do you find a ghost?

Angel has lost everything, has been treated no better than an animal but when all seems lost one princess enters her life giving her more than she thought she would have. When the moment comes she knows what she has to do even if it means taking a path of no return.

Whilst I love reading about strong, alpha and sexy men, I love the strong female characters that Ambere’s has created. Once again I recommend this book to anyone that likes MC romance and non-stop action.

Cessy is book one in A Silent Sons MC series by Ambere Sabo. This is the first book by Ambere that I have read and I really enjoyed it. Biker books are not normally my favourite but this story is a good read and a great start for the series. Who doesn’t like some action and drama, mystery and suspense, with hot guys who protect what is theirs. The story is well written and the plot well thought out and the characters you will either love or hate but either way you feel like you are right beside them taking each and every step. There is love and laughter, hate and fear, sorrow and revenge, what more could you ask for when looking for something to read.

When faced with sudden loss who does a biker princess turn to? Who exactly can she can trust? When she turns up at a rival club to ask for help one man stands out but she quickly learns he want’s nothing to do with her or her problems.

I read this book in one sitting as page after page drew me in and I had to know how it ended. Lucky for me I had the second book in the series, so when I finished this I jumped right into the second book. I recommend this book to anyone that likes MC romance and non-stop action.

I just loved the whole complexity of Carol’s character when she thought she was hallucinating. I mean isn’t it every girls dream to love a God?

The whole story line just had me glued to the pages and I couldnt wait to see what would happen next. I really liked how Carol played a part in saving not only Loki but the Nine Relms. The book fulfilled my adventure quota for the week and I am looking forward to reading more by this author.

The Trickster’s Lover: A Steamy Paranormal Romance by Samantha MacLeod is the first book in the series and I really enjoyed it. Samantha created a paranormal fantasy romance story where there is a different take on the most misunderstood Norse god, Loki. A world in which you don’t know what is fact and what is fiction.

Caroline is done with men or so she thought. When deciphering/translating a book she has finally gotten her hands on her world is changed forever. A world in which she no longer knows if she is dreaming or going crazy. But one thing she does know and that is she will fight to save all she loves and if that means being in a fight for her life then so be it.

This is fun read and I enjoyed this story and seeing the character of Loki in a different light. I can’t wait to see where she goes with other stories.

FATED is the first book in the Fated series by A.S. Roberts and boy was it good. It is definitely a emotional roller coaster ride but a great story. One minute I was laughing out loud then I was crying. I enjoyed reading A.S’s work because you feel like you are a character in the book and the world in which she weaves for these wonderful characters and the little bit of suspense hanging in the background keeps you hooked.

Alex Blackmore is one hunk-a-licious alpha ex-military businessman who has always loved from afar and taken care of what is his.

Frankie Jones decides a once in a lifetime job offer and being reunited with her bestie is too hard to resist but just who is the elusive Mr Alex Blackmore? And what does she mean to him? Why pick her?

This is one book not to pass up. Did I not mention hot, alpha males. Throw in a lot of sexiness and romance and the sparks will fly.

Children of Darkness: Genesis by Courtney Shockey is the second book in her Nightmare series and what a nightmare it was AND in a good way! It delivered what it promised!
Children of Darkness: Genesis is a dark fantasy book that tells a story of the eternal fight between the good and the evil. The writer has taken an interesting approach to this fight and it is amazing how her story telling can pull you in and not let you go … you will go away and still keep thinking what the heck did I just read, did I get it correct, did she really mean … I mean it is the story of the Angel of Darkness and his ‘child’ …
What shocked me at first was that the writer had created a world, not unlike ours, but ‘completely’ evil, and like in our world, you have who you love and you have who you hate and it was at times really hard to keep ‘hating’ Ben as he was evil …
If you are ready to spend your evening with the Angel of Darkness aka the Boogie Man, spend the evening with Children of Darkness! It is something very different and at times, different is really what you were looking for …

This book was easy to read with lines and thoughts as simple as: “Maybe in another world, another life, another time, things could be different.” Sounds like the same old story but McNamee is able to kick it up more than just a notch, she kicks it in high gear. This story is hot! Exciting! And oh my those “large black lacquered wardrobes” and all the things they held inside! No wonder Nora was feeling a little confused.

“How is it possible to dread and crave something so much at the same time?”

There were a couple of things that made me go hmmm. The biggest thing was that it seemed that Stone’s addiction was just a mild case and easily enough to kick. Even though, I felt, that his sister tried to make a huge deal out of it. Maybe his addiction wasn’t a key element to the story but then the title is Stone Sober. (Just my random thoughts.) The other thing was the Hawke family mom—Mrs. Hawke also known as loyal to a fault, “…that naïve or blind…” leader of the whole Hawke family. Is Gwyn McNamee just building us up for something more for dear ol’ mom? Or is she really not that great of a person? I have high hopes for mom!

I can not wait to read more from McNamee and I really hope there’s more of this family!

Taylor (Angel, #3.5) by Tracy Lorraine – Review by Jenni Bishop

Taylor (Angel, #3.5)Taylor by Tracy Lorraine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Taylor is book 3.5 in the Angel Series by Tracy Lorraine and can be read as a standalone but I think should be read in order to have a full understanding of other characters. The Angel series is one series you do not want to miss. I enjoy Tracy’s writing style and her attention to detail pulls you in and makes you care and feel for the characters. This is a M/M story but it is just as good as any romance story.

Taylor has a bit of reputation and doesn’t do relationships but after one look his life changed forever. Caleb is looking for love and after one look his life changed forever.

Now if only the two can get their act together! The chemistry is off the charts together, they just fit together. If only they could learn to trust.

There will be times when you want to kick some butts and other times you want to take their pain away. You know it’s a good story when emotions come out to play.

Wicked: A Small Town Romance (Love in Lone Star Book 3) by Ashley Bostock – Review by Jenni Bishop

Wicked: A Small Town Romance (Love in Lone Star Book 3) by Ashley Bostock

Wicked: A Small Town Romance Love in Lone Star is book three in the A Small Town Romance series by Ashley Bostock. This story is a standalone but reading the first two books will give you insight to the characters and the world that Ashley has created. I really enjoy Ashley’s writing style the characters are lovable and connectable. You will find yourself laughing out loud at times and other times feeling like you want to wrap them up and give them a big old hug.

Maverick found a place in my heart from the beginning, what he fought against was inevitable. What he wanted didn’t matter. What he found frustrated the hell out of him. What he got was the best thing for him.

Grace has always been a bit of a loner. She is one strong, sassy and lovable woman who is more than she appears. Who thought one tiny thing could change her life. One tiny thing could lead to her heart’s desires.

I was unable to put this book down and read it in one sitting it was so good. If you like a good romance about second chances you should grab a copy..

Wild At Heart Series: Books 1-3Wild At Heart Series: Books 1-3 by Christine Hartmann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wild at Heart is a box set by Christine Hartmann has all three books from the series. I enjoy reading box sets because there is no waiting around for the next book to a series. These books are romance and the ​world and​ ​the​ ​characters​ ​Christine ​has​ ​created​ ​have​ ​depth​ ​and​ ​are​ ​connectable​ ​on​ ​many​ ​levels.​ ​​ ​There​ ​are multiple​ ​layers​ ​to​ ​these ​story​ ​and​ ​it​ ​makes​ ​for​ ​an​ ​interesting​ ​read. ​I​ really ​like​ ​her​ ​writing​ ​style.​

Book One – Wild Within
The story of Grace doing something her brother wanted to do and found strength, courage and something she never saw coming. The trials and tribulation she goes through sees her finding out just who she is.

Book Two – Paradise Wild
Ellie finds herself being offered something she can’t refuse but has she taken on more than she could ever imagine. What seems like a dream job turns out to be so much more for Ellie in so many different ways.

Book Three – Wild Card
When​ ​Bree​ ​runs​ ​into​ ​someone​ ​from​ ​her​ ​past​ ​it​ ​makes​ ​her​ ​question​ ​her​ ​future.​ ​Bree​ ​is​ ​a​ ​strong, sassy​ ​and​ ​outspoken​ ​woman​ ​but​ ​not​ ​without​ ​a​ ​few​ ​insecurities.​ ​The​ ​easy​ ​banter​ ​between​ ​the characters​ ​is​ ​funny​ ​and​ ​at​ ​times​ ​heartfelt​ ​as​ ​we​ ​watch​ ​them​ ​walk​ ​through​ ​this​ ​journey​ ​no​ ​one knew​ ​was​ ​coming.

There is lots of twists, turns and action, suspense and mystery, throw in good chemistry and you have three great stories that make for a good read that you won’t put down until you know how they end.

Field-Tripped (Ad Agency #3) by Nicole Archer – Review by Sheri Schrader

Field-Tripped (Ad Agency #3)Field-Tripped by Nicole Archer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Field-Tripped is the third book in the Ad Agency Series written by Nicole Archer. This can be read as a standalone story but there are characters from the previous novels and storylines, mentioned. I have read the other books and was glad to see this one available. Like the other books, this is a fun romance with some twists and turns. Eli works for Skip at Shimura Advertising in New York. Eli has been hiding from his past but it comes back and hits him in the head on his newest assignment. Charlie is the owner of the competing agency located in Colorado and part of what Eli has been hiding from.
Eli has been involved in the other novels and it’s nice to see him get his own story. He is athletic, strong, and creative. He also is a good friend to have in your corner. Charlie is from his past and he has never gotten over her. She is a daredevil and an independent woman. Can the two of them reconcile what happened in the past?
I enjoyed this book as much as the other two in the series and am looking forward to the next book. These are fun romances with a happy ending. I like the tension Nicole Archer creates between the characters and that there is some sort of challenge not just a perfect ending.

Disturbing the Peace (Blue Line, #4) by Brandy Ayers – Review by Jana Teppih

Disturbing the Peace (Blue Line, #4)Disturbing the Peace by Brandy Ayers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Disturbing the Peace by Brandy Ayers is the fourth book in her Blue Line series and what a cool instalment it is! I have read all four books and I loved how each of the books had its own story and at the same time also a story that continued from a book to book! I was very sad to come to the end of the series but I have to say that we are going out with a bang!
Disturbing the Peace is the book of Justice Reilly who bleeds blue and is definitely into the buckle bunnies and Ana Formosa who is a bad-ass b-i-t-c-h taking down criminals of Pittsburgh. They have a one night stand and then it should be over and done with … or is it now … the history has a tendency of biting one in their butt, and at times literally!
I loved how Justice and Ana had to figure out if they want to find a way forward together and who will be making compromises and will Justice be able to pull back some of his protectiveness … It is a short and steamy read that also gives us a closure on the case that we have been following through all the books of the series! You will not regret the time you will spend with our couple in blue!

Hunt the Dawn (Fatal Dreams, #2) by Abbie Roads – Review by Naomi McDonald

Hunt the Dawn (Fatal Dreams, #2)Hunt the Dawn by Abbie Roads
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was just as spellbinding as the first one in the series. The characters capture your attention and hold it until the very end. You can read Hunt the Dawn as a standalone, however characters from the first book are mentioned in it, so in order to get the full impact, I suggest reading the first one (plus, you’ll love it just as much).

Lathan is a special consultant for the government in relation to cold cases. Currently he is working on a case involving several murders that he believes were perpetrated by one person. He is insistent that even though the cases seem unrelated, they actually are. As a rule, Lathan doesn’t involve himself much with people, but that all changes when he meets Evanee.

Evanee has had a hard life and all she wants is to save enough money to move out of town. Unfortunately, she can’t seem to shake her past. In the process of trying to run from it, Evanee ends up running into Lathan. She knows she shouldn’t trust a stranger, but there is something about him that puts her at ease. When she begins having vivid dreams, she and Lathan begin a journey together that neither of them expected.

A little intrigue, a little mystery, a little romance, a little drama…what’s not to love!
