Shake Loose the Border by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is just a rollercoaster of emotions. I have highly enjoyed Maggie and Will’s journey throughout the books. This one is the best of the three so far. The writing and plot twists will have you on the edge of your seat. I am looking forward to the fourth book.

Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Forget Nico by Gaia B. Amman was a really good novel. It grabbed me, but it did take a little bit to hold my attention. I’m sure it’s just because the ages of the characters, but all the characters seemed very whiny to me. Great characters though! Well mostly great, minus the cheaters. They all had big personalities, which I loved! This is the second novel I’ve read from the Amman and I can’t wait to read more from the Italian series!
Black Cat Security by Katerina Ross
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Black Cat Security by Katerina Ross was a decent story. It’s a very short, fantasy story, that grabbed my attention but had to work to keep it. The story wasn’t what I was expecting from reading the synopsis, and the ending was a little strange for my tastes. It wasn’t a bad novella though! It just wasn’t my favorite. The story was very well written, I just didn’t have much background information to go on. I’m not sure if it was a continuation of a series, or what. I liked the story, just again it wasn’t personally for me. Four stars for writing, because the writing was incredible.
Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander was great! It was the perfect end to this trilogy series. Like the other two, this book grabbed in from the beginning and wouldn’t let go. I couldn’t tell if this novel was more emotional than the second in the series, but all the emotions are definitely in this one! It had me laughing and crying just like the second one did. And again, I highly recommend this third book in the Mountains Series!
Mountains Wanted by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mountains Wanted By Phoebe Alexander is a book that is not your average romance novel. I am not familiar with Alexander’s writing style so i was a little surprised when i realized this book delves in to some emotional subjects. like open marriages (relationships) . I have to say that this genre of book, polyamory/ open marriage is not a style i enjoy reading even with that this book had great writing and some great character development. The story itself is full of heart and emotion and Phoebe Alexander writes in a way where yo feel like you know these characters personally. That is what kept m reading this book.
Moonlit Mirage – A Cook Islands Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Moonlit Mirage by Amy McKinley was a really good novella! Super quick, easy read, it has the suspense, drama, slight mystery and romance that makes for a great classic. I read this book in a matter of a few hours, but it felt much longer by how I got pulled into the story and was experiencing everything that Cade and Nadia was experiencing. There was some surprising twists I didn’t expect, and it just made the story that much better. Great storyline and plot, and I loved the location chosen for the book! It doesn’t get much better when you have a great story set in the beautiful scenes of an island. This is story for all ages, and I highly recommend!
Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Despite the book being on the shorter side, I enjoy very long books. It feels like you’ve been through a long journey and understand more about the many worlds introduced in this book. James does a great job intertwining the Characters and worlds together even though initially they all seem different. James has a great writing style that’s complex but easy to follow and understand. I’d be very interested to read more from James as I enjoyed his style writing of this book.
The Sister Pact: Home is Where The Heart is by Jacquie Biggar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved dynamic between Holly and Levi. And the characters are set up beautifully. Holly heads home after an illness ends her music career early and seeing Levi again reminds her of their past…and her feelings. Feelings she tries to put on the back burner while she tries to fix her relationship with her sister Susan and Susan’s husband Steve. But those feelings along with family secrets cannot be hidden…or ignored. The family dynamic in this book is amazing!! It’s well written, well thought out, and fantastically full of feelings. A first by this author for me, but definitely not the last!!!

Jake Wolfe Series Bundle Box Set: (Books 1-2-3) Vigilante Justice Thriller Series by Mark Nolan – Review by Gail Guerrero
Five Stars
These books were too good to put down. Every page was full of something intriguing. The characters alone made the story good. There is so much you learn about Jake. The author really throws it all together in a beautiful package. I didn’t know if I would like these stories. The author surprised me with how well they were written and how he kept it interesting and not too detailed. I felt like every book gave you so much more than what you expected. Jake is an all around good guy with a lot of bad boy in him. I read these books in one sitting because I was that invested and involved. I was grabbed by the throat and hog tied to these stories. We all get tired and ready to settle down. So when Jake decided to be a better person life got in the way. The mystery and adventure aspects were my favorite. I couldn’t really guess who was doing what. I also liked that the author gave Jake humor. Overall I 100% advise you to get these books.
Covert Threat by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jules is a specialist who is dedicated to her work and is pretty much a workaholic. She’s had a lot of rocky moments over the years, and the rockiest being the recent passing of her mother. She has been no stranger to loss over the years and because of it, she keeps to herself and works hard to keep balance in her life. Her love of science has fueled her compassion to doing the right thing and helping wherever she can. For her, coming up with various healing antidotes, vaccines, and even new ways to fight biowarfare is everything. But when someone decides to knock her around and trigger memories she’s hidden, her world rocks again.
Trev is a military man who loves his career choice. He is dedicated to helping others, protecting them and fighting the good fight in every way he can. After all, once a Seal, always a Seal. For him, being apart of the Grey Ghost team means being with his family. The men and women he works with sharing the same values, protect at all costs. He’s always been the go-to guy for laughter, faithfulness, and loyalty. He learned the hard way that sometimes you have to open up and let others in. For him, being a chameleon of sorts, coming up with various ways to figure a situation out is everything. When he’s asked to take a special assignment, he didn’t expect it to be hers.
Together they have to figure out who wants to disrupt Jules’ life, hunt down a suspect in a possible terrorist scenario, play dodge and weave to figure out who really has it out to destroy many lives and finally, figure out where their attraction is headed. In the end, the twists are quick, the steam palpable and the mystery seems to never stop! I can surely say I had my suspicions on a few of the twists but when it all ended, it was like, holy cow! It was such a good mix of intrigue, intelligence, sexy hot moments and thrilling suspense. This was such a good book for me, I ended up binge-reading it and putting off sleep. I loved Jules and Trev!

The Sister Pact: Home is Where The Heart is
by Jacquie Biggar
This story was such a sweet, heartwarming, romantic story that I wanted to read in one night. Holly is going home for the holidays and with that comes a lot of unresolved issues with her family, her sister, and Levi. Holly also has something important about her health to tell her family. I loved the characters and the different dynamics they bring to the story with their different personalities. Holly and Levi had a one night stand but neither have forgotten about that night. This book is about forgiveness, healing and family being there for each other. I love the way this author weaves a story that touches my heart. I highly recommend this book and I look forward to reading more from this author.

This is my first book by this author, and I am so glad that I decided to read the book. Shannon and Zane have great chemistry that’s instant which only added to make this book amazing. I can’t wait to read more from this series and this author!

Taming Zane is the second book in the Almost Perfect series by Lisa Lanay and also just happens to be my second book by this author. Zane and Shannon meet on a plane to San Francisco, then spend a week getting to know each other while having some killer chemistry. Is this a one-week romance or can Zane and Shannon make a relationship happen if they live in two different cities?
This was a light-hearted and corny-sweet romance that had my attention from beginning to end. I can’t wait to see what this series has in store for me next!

I have read a couple of books by this author and she continues to surprise me. I love a good slow burn but this book exceeded all my expectations.

Scoring Chance : A Mile High Miners Novella by Lane Martin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a wonderful story. All about second chances and really living every day. In here we meet Eden and Rhett. Both have a tragic past but one has learned from it and the other hides from it. Will they be able to meet in the middle and find each other?
The characters in here are a lot. We have the two main ones then a bunch of secondary characters. The couples (Devin/Kassie and Barrett/Adelaide) each really peaked my interest. They both made me wonder about their stories. The adopted family of Eden was great as well. They gave nice pushes to Eden when she needed them.
Overall this is a good story. The characters were nicely done. This is my first book by this author. She does a good job with the stories flow. The characters have depth to them that make them interesting.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy is the sixth book in the Carolina Connections by Sylvie Stewart. One thing that sticks out with this story is the fact that Sylvie Stewart can mix humor and romance. It was a fun read. I have a crush on Jax as my book boyfriend. Stewart keeps the storyline light and engaging. Every once and a while it is nice to be able to read a story and forget life for a while. This story has a humorous plot line and a sweet romance as well. This story is about Jax and Ari and Jax’s daughter Ari. I encourage you to read this story and fall in love with Jax as well.
Taming Zane by Lisa Lanay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Taming Zane is book 2 in the Almost Perfect Series by Lisa Lanay. It is a romance novel, with a touch of humor, and can be enjoyed as a standalone novel. While it’s not so much of love at first sight, there is an instant connection between the characters, and I loved reading their story. The friendly banter and conversations they have, as well as jabs they make at each other are fun to read. It is realistic and entertaining. The story follows Shannon McGregor, single parent and Zane Taylor, single playboy doctor. They meet on a plane ride to San Francisco, where Shannon is heading for a week long trip ending in an interview. Zane is returning from a mission trip playing world doctor in a 3rd world country. While they come from opposite lifestyles, they instantly hit it off. I love that it was back and forth and you didn’t know how the story would end. Kept me engaged and read it quickly, because I needed to know the conclusion. Highly recommend both this and the first book, Loving Jake.

Once again this Author has outdone herself,, I never hesitate to pick up anything she writes because she’s a outstanding writer. Her style of writing pulls me in every time.

These two have chemistry that is simply fire. Find out what happens next in this absolute must read.
Journeys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A mysterious voice is heard in the minds of inhabitants across multiple within the vast multiverse of space and time……
This is an adventure of a swords master’s son, a powerful queen, a warrior, a college student from Earth, a reptilian humanoid scientist, and a wise leader of a utopian world that have to use all of their skills to battle evil forces that are bent on ensuring reality forms as they desire…..
We start the book as we enter all the different worlds, meeting all the different characters along the way, then a voice calls across the universe sounding in the heads of different people across the planets, which will bring characters together in a series of events.
Together they will take on mystery, betrayal and danger to make their way through the multi-universe and have an adventure through space.
This book is amazing and I love how the author connecting all these worlds and characters together, intertwining them making this a wonderful fantasy read. It is extremely detailed, so the guide at the beginning was really useful, but I enjoyed the fact that the story was complex, as it made me really concentrate on the characters.
I am really looking forward to the second book, it was beautifully written and an epic read. Would truly recommend.
The Flame and The Blade by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Flame and The Blade (Flame and Blade Book 1) by Meredith Hart. I’m a person who truly has to be in the mood for a fantasy type story, it’s seldom that I am but the cover intrigued me so I hopped in. And I’ve got to say I’m rather glad I did. From page one I was on an adventure with the story world created by this author. The characters are complex and relatable and you can connect easily with them. It’s got everything I need for a great fantasy read from action and magic to romance and laughter. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. The characters are well written and detailed nicely. Each character brings something unique to the storyline. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. I’m giving this story a four star review and highly recommend it.

Broken by Love (The Full Circle Series) by MJ Masucci. There’s a few trouble areas I had with this story but all in all I enjoyed it. I didn’t have the easiest of time connecting with our characters but eventually I grew to like each one for different reasons. The storyline had great potential and a somewhat easy flow but I was a bit confused at times but I’ll be honest it didn’t lessen my enjoyment. I just wanted more depth to both characters and storyline. I do like that it is a stand-alone and truly has an ending. It’s paced nicely and kept me engaged. Each character has their story to tell and in the end I’d say I’d recommend this book. I’m giving it four stars and truly can’t wait to see what’s next.

Before the Second Show by Thia Finn. Emmy and Alex oh how they will be with me long after I finished reading this book. From page one I was completely hooked on their story. Each one gave me a million reasons to love their story. This author is new to me and I’ll definitely be back for more. Each character just draws you into their world and I never wanted to leave. The characters are complex, relatable and so well written I forgot I was reading at times. This book definitely has its hot scenes but it’s also got a bit of an emotional roller coaster and I loved every minute of it. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. And characters you can’t help but connect with. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend. I’ll be adding it to my read again list for sure!

Call of the Alpha by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Call of the Alpha is the second book in The Powder River Pack Series by Brooke May. As expected, it is a fantastic paranormal romance, with shifters, action, drama, passion, secrets, and more.
In this book we follow Mason Fischer, who is a shifter and Alpha of the Powder River Pack. He is a single father who is about to have his world turned upside down when biologist Rylie Press moves back into town.
As with the first book, I have really enjoyed this instalment- and Ms. Mays take of the shifter/werewolf lore. I loved the first book, and am having a hard time deciding my favourite between the two- as this book is every bit as good as the first, if not better.
I am really looking forward to more of this series.
Thank you, Ms. May!

Journeys Through SpaceTime was a great 5 star read and book one in the Journey’s Through series. This is my first read from James Talisman and he did a great job with his debut book.
You get pulled right in and get to know all of the different characters. We get different worlds and timelines as well. It took a little bit of time for me to get to know everyone and what was going on, the more I got into the story the more I liked it. Each of the characters are connected in one way, they have a voice that speaks to them and they are each facing some dangerous issues in their worlds. I almost felt like I was reading multiple stories in one book.
Overall this was a good read and it’s amazing the worlds that James came up with and the characters. If you like science fiction you will love this book. All of the characters added a great element to the story and there are some that I would love to see more from. 1-click and get started today.
