The Moon In Her Eyes is the second book in the Witch series. It isn’t specifically a cliffhanger, as the main story has a conclusion, but it does leave the story open to continue.
I really wanted to love this book, but the political aspects of it were not woven into the story in a way that made it flow. It came across as a soapbox rather than a story enhancement. The time travel and paranormal aspects were overshadowed by the challenge I had weeding through the politics.
I did like the historical aspects and the weaving of the time travel piece. And there were a pretty good variety of characters to get to know.

This box set contains the first three books of the Eastern Shore Swingers series. One of the great things about this author is the inclusion of so many body positive and sex positive aspects into her stories. There are a lot of real-to-life struggles that keep the books relatable and engaging. Even though each story can be read as a standalone, it is great to read them back-to-back and this collection makes that easy. Side note, be sure to read the fourth book, Sailors Knot, when you finish this set! It does not disappoint.
Fisher of Men One of the things that kept me interested is probably the fact that I can relate to the internal struggle, both regarding faith and the emotional aspect, that Leah goes through as she begins to unravel the structure she has been taught is the truth and proper way of living. It is emotionally strenuous to find out things about yourself that go against what you’ve been taught is proper. Add to that the input of outside sources and you’ve got a recipe for drama and heartache.
The Catch The Catch has a different feel than the first book. This story is filled with suspense and a bit of mystery. It also has a different feel in the way the relationship plays out. I enjoyed the development of Paisley’s character and the contrast between the way she shaped herself as an adult and what she dealt with as a child. I also loved that this book is body positive!
Siren Call What I love about this book is that it shows the range of strength to vulnerability that women can have. It also shows the different ways that we deal with emotional trauma and how that affects our ability to communicate and relate to other people. And, as always, the author has the ability to convey alternative lifestyles with positivity while also showing the concerns associated with it. For instance, in this book one of Jessie’s concerns is being in a relationship with someone who is bi-sexual—the fear that she might not be enough for the other person. A real fear that comes up for many people. I think my favorite part of the whole story is Sirena’s scene with the sheriff…cracked me the heck up!
This is a delightful and fun Christmas romance story. I loved Kat and Dan, and how their story progressed. This is story is a funny and quick read that I thoroughly enjoyed. Allyson Abbott has created such a great group of holiday romances that I recommend to anyone! A Frothy Christmas Kiss is no exception.

OMG! This book! I am either laughing, grinning or shaking my head at every turn of the page! I loved how this started out..meeting the characters. Then how they meshed together…it felt very natural. I couldn’t help but enjoy Theo. He has such determination. To better himself and to date Hadley. His life goals. I love how “all in” he seems to be. How he easily reads her and he is just so….such an amazing character. Hadley Is a smart woman with surprising skills in all kinds of things. Her quirks are cute and her family is amazing. She was a joy to meet and get to know. I couldn’t picture a better match for Theo.
The author did a wonderful job describing the characters. I can easily picture them in my head. All their quirks and facial expressions. I didn’t mention earlier but their last names are perfect. Every detail was taken charge of in this story. I have many passages highlighted in here. There are just so many crazy fun times and sweet lovely moments.
I really can’t stress how enjoyable this book is. It is a delight to read and I am so glad I picked it up! I have read just about all of this authors books. This is my favorite by far and will be going on my re-read shelf. I will be highly recommending this book to friends/readers who love great characters, witty storylines and love smiling and laughing while reading.

Never Let Me Fall is the third book in the Fatal Dreams series by Abbie Roads. Although you can read this book as a standalone, I highly recommend you read the first two books in the series to get the full back story. This book had me hooked from the very first page. It is action packed with suspense and romance added in. Helen and Thomas are both strong but damaged people, and when they meet things click with them. The chemistry is instantaneous and palpable. This book left me with a book hangover, when I finished reading I found myself thinking about things that happened in it. I love books that bring out strong emotions and this book really fit that bill. I highly recommend this book, series and author.

A Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott Four Stars
A Pink Christmas Kiss is the third book in the Christmas Kiss Series by Allyson R. Abbott. All the books in this series are standalone, but I highly recommend you read the whole series because these book are just what you need to put you in the Christmas spirit. This book features Billie , who let her small town to move to New York City. She left behind her true love, thinking he would follow her to New York. Five long years later the big city was really wearing her down, when she got a call from her father asking her to come home and help with the family business. When she returns she finds that Leroy had his reasons for not following and a lack of communication between the two was a problem. This is a sweet Christmas love story. I loved the fast paced, easy flow of the story, and would recommend this book, series and author.

Abbott – Review by Sunday Barnaby
A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is a five star novel. I loved this book and all the twists and turns! When Mel learns she has to go to Spain, she is very confused and has no clue what she is going to do there. All she knows is her mom is insisting she go. She needs to go take care of her Aunt Rosa who is having surgery. After traveling for days, she is ready to just have a melt down and fly back to the states. Why is everything so hard? She meets a guy who decides to help her out even though they don’t speak the same language. She and then we guy have a lot of issues but can they make it work for a Christmas romance? Definitely not speaking the same language is difficult!

This book is definitely a seasonal must read! A Tangy Christmas Kiss is the second book in the Christmas Kiss Series by Allyson R. Abbott. This story follows Melanie “Mel” on her curious adventure to Spain. Mel’s mother calls her out of the blue to ask her to go to Spain to help her Aunt while she recovers from surgery. So basically anything that could go wrong on this trip happens. The upside to this is the sexy man that sat next to her on the plan. He decides to help her even though he doesn’t speak any English and she doesn’t speak any Spanish! All the while Mel doesn’t seem too concerned as to why her mother couldn’t go to Spain. But you have to read to find out why! So, basically this story is full of funny and quirky moments that keep you laughing and wondering what’s going to happen next. If this book doesn’t put you in the holiday spirit then I don’t know what will! Allyson has such a way with her books that the stories have so many unexpected twists that pull you in and have you on your toes wanting to see what’s going to happen next! This is such a sweet story that you really don’t want to put it down. I cannot wait for the next book in the series to see what kind of romantic adventure we take ourselves on! Again…this is a Christmas must read!

ABBOTT – REVIEW BY MELISSA AGENA
The Christmas Kiss series has really been a highlight of my Christmas season this year. I think one of the things that I have really enjoyed is that these novels really have embraced that wholesome and magical feeling that you get when you sit down and watch a Hallmark movie at Christmas with the family. For me I will be happy to share these next season with my pre-teen. I must say though ‘A Frothy Christmas Kiss’ may just have to be my favorite Christmas kiss yet. This one seems to be a bit more relatable for me, maybe that is why, probably the only one I would think my daughter would find more boring at a younger age level. Anywho, I must say I really hope to see more of the Christmas novels in the future from Allyson R. Abbott. I love all of her work that I have read, but her holiday stuff is just too darn perfect! ‘A Frothy Christmas Kiss’ is the story of Kat and Dan, so brew up a cup of your favorite joe and curl up with your favorite blankie. You will adore you time finding out how these two discover the magic of Christmas and love once again.

A Prickly Christmas Kiss is the first book in the Christmas Kiss series from Allyson R. Abbott. I have been reading these book out of order this season and they are not intertwining books. They are all freestanding novels. This one is just as wonderful for the holiday season as the others that I have enjoyed along the way. If you love adorable and heartwarming Christmas romances then this book is the perfect fireside read for you!
Emma Louise Fallon, ELF, yup her nickname is Elf lol is on a much needed getaway. Her supposed new boyfriend and her were supposed to be spending the perfect holidays together. That did not work out and so she has sworn off me and family for this holiday season. She recruits a friend for a getaway at a cabin in the woods. The last minute her friend can’t make it and she is left to fend for herself. Along the way lots of things go wrong, but everything is balanced with the spirit of Christmas, and the handsome Rudi. This is one you don’t want to miss, and while you are at is you might as well grab all four of them to devour before the season slips away!

Untamable by Jamie Schlosser is a standalone book and is a romantic comedy. I laughed and cried throughout the entire story that was highly entertaining. It was fun with lots of humour that kept you enthralled and not wanting it to stop. Jamie did a great job of writing the characters that seem so real, honest, charming and witty.
What Emery finds when he takes on his next project is nothing at all what he was expecting, in many ways. He wonders if he has bitten off more than he can chew when coming face to face with the problem.
Estelle needs help, there is no denying it and there is apparently only one man capable of taking on her problem.
Will Emery be able to assist the lovely Estelle and take care of her problem? Will he see more than the woman that needs help? Will Emery see more to this woman than meets the eye?
This is a sweet and hilarious read that you do not want to miss. Jamie is a very clever writer that has found the right mix. I look forward to her next book.
The Confectioner’s Truth (Confectioner Chronicles Book 3) by Claire Luana is a fantasy, thriller, romance story. It is also the last book in the Confectioner’s Chronicles series. Claire once again has woven her magic with the perfect blend of mystery and suspense, action and danger, romance and intrigue, heartache and love, humour and fun. It’s another page turner that is so engrossing and enthralling that it feels like it is over before it began. Wren is heartbroken and still reeling from the loss and betrayal of others. On the run, tired, scared, hurt and faced with her past all the while the political unrest continues and Wren wonders if she will ever have her family back and lead a normal life again. Once again it is a book that should be on everyone’s to read list.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series. I was hoping for a connection between this book and the first but there isn’t so it can be read as a standalone.
Mel flys to Spain last minute to help her Aunt and act as a stand in for her Mom. After an incredibly long trip she finally gets on her last flight only to find she is sitting next to a very good looking man.
Lucas is an absolute sweetheart and he falls for Mel immediately and offers to help her get to her Aunt’s place and so much more.
For a short story a lot of things happen, especially to poor Mel. This is a sweet love story and I’m looking forward to finishing up this series.

Degrees of Power by Via Mari is the fourth and final book in the Prestian series. When I first finished the book I wasn’t sure how I felt about the way she ended it, but after a little bit I have decided that I liked it. Part of the reason is Jenny had her own series and I fully expect Katarina and Chase to pop up.
Katarina and Chase have had quite the whirlwind romance with so many different things happening to them or the people they love, never a dull moment for them.
They have learned so much in the short time they have been together, the biggest lesson is trust and how important it is to a relationship.
I have some questions about some if the things that happened but like I said I’m hoping to see them in Jenny’s story and get those questions answered.

Fatal Legislation by Ellen Butler is book two in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series. It’s seems as though Karina is never in the right place at the right time. She always tends to find herself in the mist of some sort of crazy scene. Though a different twist than book one, this story is more political but just as interesting. A run in with the senator and uncovering a few murders, just a day in the life. I was nervous for Karina and her boyfriends relationship. Mikes character was very well put together and I enjoyed the two of them. I recommend this series, read in order as there are some tie ins from the first book.

Holy Pete, there was a lot going on in this book! I was very glad to find out that this was going to have more than just a part two eventually. I understood that this took awhile to set up as far as the story line went but for me that first third or so of the book really was a stall for me. I struggled to get into it. My issue was the many layers that this author was trying to take on and the multiple point of views all at once. Don’t get me wrong! I ended up really enjoying this book and the concept. There was a lot of time and plotting that went into this that is beyond evident once you finish. I really hope I don’t get the flu this year. So my strongest suggestion, stick through it, it’s totally worth it in the end!
Like I was mentioning this was a packed book, but the main gists boil down to our MC, Havana, or more referred to as Vana, is swept up into a situation that she never expected to find herself in. Worse so she is a headstrong woman that knows how to take care of herself and these handsome three me that want to help her certainly are not going to make it easy on her nerves or her hormones. This is a reverse harem/ menage novel, another layer added, and this is done well. Things begin to heat up between the four, and not just between the skin. For more of the details you will just have to devour this gem for yourself.

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on ‘The Way You Are.’ It kind of snuck up on me and my newsfeed as a new release just three days before it was to go live and thus hit my kindle and I have to say it was a long three days. But, I was grateful that I didn’t have a longer anticipation time lol. I absolutely adored the first four Carolina Connections Novels. Noting that this is the fifth book in the series, these are all written in a way that they could be read as standalone’s. However, the characters from the previous books also make guest appearances here and there, so that is a bonus!
‘The Way You Are’ was such a funny read. It balanced the perfect amount of romance and comedy just like we are used to seeing from Sylvie Stewart. This is partly why I absolutely can’t help but one-click everything from her. Of course the romance had the zing that made you want that tall glass of wine and a fan. Sylvie has a knack for that slow burn build up too! I could honestly gush about the writing for days but…. onto the goods.
OH, Olivia, Liv… I loved her. Sometimes I wanted to yell at her and others I wanted to cheer for her. A lot like she hackle all those players. Liv loves her baseball. She loves her boyfriend. At least she thinks she does. He is perfect. The ballplayer of her dreams. But, there is her best friend that is starting to look really good. Like, not just friend zone good.
Brett gives up. He really likes Liv. But there is that friend zone. He is infamous for it and really it’s just made it to the point where he is just focusing on his career and enjoying what and who he does have in his life at the moment. What will happen when his chance finally comes and the prince charming messes up big-time?

Nothing puts the brakes on a prewedding visit to your hometown like finding out what you thought was a closed case has been reopened because of a possible insider. Shana wants Dane to meet her family before they get married but Murphy’s Law is in full effect and everything seems to get worse. I felt so frustrated and angry for all the curves thrown at Shana and Dane. I love these characters and I just want them to be happy. But then again, that doesn’t make for a very interesting story series. Danger around every turn in Australia? Super exciting and interesting! Each character is explored and has depth. I learn more about the couple in each story and the world building is fantastic. Attention to detail and in character arcs is brilliant. Kevin gives me creepy chills, Shana makes me want to cultivate my game face, and Dane’s deep affection for Shana makes me just want to hug him. This could absolutely be a stand alone novel but I do not recommend it. This entire series is worth every second of read time.
Rising Star by Susannah Nix. This is an amazing book that kept me flipping pages way into the night. Its the story of Alice Carlisle who has been doing jobs in Hollywood as an extra on a hit soap opera. She had also been working on her dissertation for a Ph. D. Her Ph.D has been put on hold, her soap opera is ending so she will be out of work and her roommate is kicking her out so his boyfriend can move in. In other words her world is crumpling. Griffin is one of the up and coming Hollywood stars, good looking and on everyone’s radar. His life is falling into place until his dog sitter bails on him for the summer. Becoming friendly with Alice, Griffin decides to ask her to dog/house sit for him during the summer. It will help them both out. She reluctantly accepts and soon she and Griffin are very close. Will she let go and trust him to see if they can make it work, will Griffin quit trying to please everyone but himself and give himself completely to Alice. This book was very sweet, romantic and full of comedy. I loved every minute of it.

The Only Series 5 Book Box Set by Bree Kraemer includes all five books from The Only Series. I’ve read other books by this author and loved them so much so I was excited to read these books and it was even better that they were all in one box set! Each book tells the story of a different couple but characters reappear throughout the series. The books flowed so well from one to the next even though they are standalones. Each couple had a different story to their relationship and had their own trials. Samantha’s character really stood out to me because she had experienced so much but she didn’t let it get her down and she fought to get her life as close to normal as she could get it. All of the men were very swoon worthy! I don’t think I could pick a favorite if I tried. I am so glad I read these books!! Bree Kraemer doesn’t disappoint.

Beachcomber Gone is the NINTH book in Stephanie Queen’s Beachcomber Investigations series! Nine books of goodness! You can reach each and every one of them as a standalone as they all have a ‘case’ that gets solved! I have read couple of other books in the series and enjoyed them tremendously and have the rest already downloaded and I have to admit that I also ventured out to Stephanie’s other series (Scotland Yard Exchange)… So, Beachcomber Gone is another one of Dane and Shana stories and this time it hits close to home as it affects them personally! They get forewarned of the danger when they are on the flight to Australia (to visit Shana’s family) but unfortunately you cannot just parachute off the commercial flight and of course you cannot leave your family in danger (it is Shana’s mother who is being threatened…). I love the chemistry between Shana and Dane, it is actually something beyond chemistry … it is sort of an addiction … Shana is Dane’s Achilles’ heel … He is one complex man and it makes the reading even more enjoyable! No simple bam-wham-mam … no no … it is a real dangerous story with not the usual backup and they don’t know who to trust and who not and … well, let’s just say that it was another brilliant instalment of the series and I wonder if I will last ‘til the day those two get married or will I have a heart attack first!

The Way You Are is the fifth book in Sylvie Stewart’s Carolina Connections series! I have read every single story in the series and I have loved every single one of them! You can read the story as a standalone BUT I would recommend taking it from the beginning as you meet the rest of the gang and understand some of the back story. Sylvie is a fantastic story teller and pulls you in from page one! The sense of humour and the care she takes of her characters … oh my! I was so happy to see that finally we have another story in the series AND I giggled a bit when I saw that she is planning at least couple of more! The Way You Are is the story of Brett, the eternal nice guy (we have met him before, he is Gavin’s best friend), and Liv, a diehard baseball fan veterinarian. What do you think you will get when you throw together essentially a nice guy and a smart and loyal girl who is not a good judge of character and who also has a boyfriend? They start off in the ‘friend zone’ and yeah, it is sort of a slow burn but oh my when it finally catches fire, it burns hot! And as I said previously, I was great to see all the other old friends from the previous stories and I cannot wait to see what Sylvie as in store for Ari and Jax and Haley …

Wow! Will I be able to survive Eden and Theo!? What a great story! This is my first one by Virginia Wine and thankfully won’t be the last. Surviving Eden was a story that I could not put down. I don’t know if it was the taboo situation of Theo and Eden, their actual connection, the total hotness of the entire story, or everything rolled into one, but I loved it.
Lots of emotions and feelings in this story, sadness, confusion, happiness, the feeling of being safe, love, hot sex. Yeah, this book has it all. I definitely recommend it for readers over 18 years. Can’t wait to read what’s next in this series!

Fatal Legislation: A Novel: Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 2 by Ellen Butler
5 Stars
This author has quickly become a favorite of mine. I Loved the first of this series and this one was no different. Karina is absolutely one of my favorite female leads, there’s no doubt…and her relationship and interaction with Mike is awesome.
I was on the edge of my seat the entire book, this author wastes no time getting started in her stories and I loved that some of the characters from the last book were still right in the thick of things, right down to Mrs. Thundermuffin LOL
I am totally addicted to this series and can not wait for more, Karina has me shaking my head more often than not in these stories but I just know I would love to be her friend and love to be right there with her in her quests to find the truth.
Highly recommend, but read these in order…This one could possibly be considered a stand alone..But dont, I promise, you need to read them both! 🙂

Degrees of Power is the final book in the Prestian Series by Via Mari. I recommend reading the book in order as they pick up where the last one ended. Via Mari does an amazing job of pulling all the stories together. The stories have a mystery, passion, emotions, family issues, fear and romance. Degrees of Power has Kat and Chase together and continuing to look over their shoulders looking for their fathers. Even though they are running it seems like they have time for them. They have a steamy passion romance. You will want to read this story to find the exciting end of the story.

Venganza is the prequel to Primogénito. Once again this author has pulled out all the stops again to make this read an even better than the last, and just as captivating. I found I just couldn’t put the book down, I read it one sitting and found myself completely and utterly drawn in to what was happening with the characters, this gave us a better insight into Damien and his story, as well as part of Damien & Jenn’s story, but more than that the whole general storyline of all involved was just as captivating in this read than in Primogénito. This book was thrilling, suspenseful, dark, mysterious, emotional, heart-breaking and shocking. This book was filled with twists and turns that you never expected, that left you on the edge of your seat, wanting to know what was going to happen, but it also left you reeling after what you were reading.
This was an incredibly gripping, mysterious and suspenseful read that I’m glad I got the chance to experience and will look forward to seeing what else this author can bring.

Untrainable by Jamie Schlosser is a fun and easy read that will keep you entertained from page 1. Hadley and Theo are probably two of my favourite characters that I have read about recently. I really found myself just getting lost in their story – Theo the disgraced reality star as Hadley with the budding show biz career. The whole premise of the story was fun and engaging. I couldn’t wait to see what happened to them when they starred in the show together. This is a great book and one I can definitely recommend.View all my reviews

I have read a couple of books by this talented author and she always surprises me. My favorite books are about Christmas. It puts a warm feeling in my heart. This is the third book is the Christmas Kiss series. These books don’t need to be read in order because they are about different couples. I was hooked on this book from page one. I could not put this book down and I read it straight through.
Billie left her hometown to follow her dream in New York. She was very disappointed when the love of her life Leroy did not follow her. Billie was too proud to pick up her phone to see how he is doing so time passed. Her family needs her help so she returns to her hometown. Billie is helping her father in his car shop. She is surprised when a gift comes to her and it takes her back to the good times. Billie is getting ready for Christmas and she runs into Leroy again. She still feels the chemistry between them but does he feel the same way? Will Billie forgive Leroy and move on or was there too much pain to heal?
I absolutely loved this book. This is the perfect book to get you into the Christmas spirit. This book has everything you want romance, humor, and forgiveness. You will fall in love with these characters right from the start. Billie loves her family so much she goes back home to help. She is still a little bitter of what happened long ago with Leroy. Leroy is a great guy. He just wants to see Billie happy. They way he treats her will make your heart melt. This author will keep you guessing on what will happen to these unforgettable characters. I can’t wait to see what this author will have for us next.

Claiming Her Mates by Dia Cole is the first book in the paranormal shifter series. This book is a hot and steamy tale of Havana and her three protectors. This book is a very strange mix of paranormal and yet somehow it works. Shifters and zombies is not something I have seen together before, probably die a good reason, and get this author has created a story that combines these elements in a way that is believable. At times I felt the story could have used a bit more detail to it however it was exiting and an intriguing read. I am interested to see how the rest of this series develops.
