The Rocklyns Collection
By: Alicia Street

I find Alicia Street to be a fantastic author whose characters have a lot of depth and each book is better than the next. This is a 7 book set and I promise it is well work reading each one. Each book is well written and the books are completely heartfelt. The Rocklyns have a vineyard and while they love their family they love love even more. The best part of a box set is that you can read each book in succession and you don’t have to wait for the next one to come.

These three characters are all so very well developed and are so perfectly complicated. I loved watching the three of them interact and I loved the addition of their dogs. I HEA at the end really made the whole journey worth it!

Portrait of Deception (A Southwest Suspense Novel) by Kathryn Dodson – Review by Christine Baranek

Portrait of Deception
By: Kathryn Dodson

Kathryn Dodson has become one of my absolute favorite authors and when I saw this was being released I was excited. This book delivered on my excitement in so many ways. This book is such a page turner. It has so many themes that play out from chapter to chapter. Margo was such a fantastic character who has really been left holding the worst of everything. She has been burned by a fellow colleague and has a career that is in shamples, a huge hotel bill and an offer that, well, she doesn’t want to take but the man doesn’t take no for an answer. She becomes the missing piece to a dictator who is going to hold her captive to get what she wants. Which leads her to run….which is where things get extra interesting.
I truly loved this book and I definitely loved the amount of suspense in this. I really did not want to put it down because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I definitely recommend reading this especially if you love a good suspense book.

Human Mating Site Box Set 1
By: B.L. Wilde

This is such a fun idea. It is a series of books about Bella and her experiences as a single woman in her 30s. Each book focuses on a different experience with men. In the first book we discover Mr. Wimp, the ex husband who gets us started on our journey. After that we find out more about Bella as Bella discovered more about herself. There are all sorts of different experiences she encounters and each one really leaves her learning more and more about herself. We meet Mr. Smooth and is honestly the usual man any woman meets right after a breakup. Its a fun start but not someone you really want to spend a lot of time with. After that she meets Mr. Kinky who lives up to his name.
I truly loved this set and cannot wait to read more in the series.

Deja Brew All Over Again
By: Sylvie Stewart

This is the third book in the love on tap series. I have read each and every book and have loved each and every book. I do want to note however that I do believe that each one does function as a standalone.
This book features two very interesting and well developed characters. Miller is a bad boy who finds himself entangled with Maisy who just kind of fell into his lap (or more accurately jumped into his car). Maisy is a runaway bride and she just so happens to be the help that Miller might need. This book is absolutely amazing and I loved following Maisy and Miller on their adventure. I definitely suggest reading this book!

Group HugGroup Hug by Ariella Talix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw this I couldn’t help but scream “ SIGN ME Up“ I’m like the HIG queen 😉🤗 and hello it was released on HUG DAY 😉🤗

So I got more than I bargained for and that’s not a bad thing especially if you like MMF 😉

Weston has had a rough time of late and he’s basically left with the roof over his head but desperate times call for desperate measures and he needs to find himself some housemates to keep said roof over his head …..

Interviews start and there’s 2 promising candidates and it would seem more boxes are being ticked than just housemates 🔥😉

Petra and her 4 legged family member are licking their wounds after walking away from a relationship and they need a roof over their head and space to breathe ,heal and do her writing

Callum can cook so I’d take him in on that alone 🤣he’s looking to make his way on life and in his career and I don’t think he was bargaining on the distraction of his housemates ……

These 3 special peeps and their canines kept me well entertained 🤣😉❣️📚

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I know it’s still early in the year I know but this is going to be one of my favourite reads of the year !

Just a fair warning warning don’t read this on an empty stomach or when you have a craving for a sweet treat because this read is filled with delectable and delicious temptation 🥰😉

I loved being Ireland and being in the bakery with Claire and her family and she’s been working there since a wee one and it’s only natural for her to want to try new things and I get her mums reservations and watching them at loggerheads made me sad to a degree but their story and relationship was also real and endearing …..

The bakery is catering for a wedding and they did their trusted cupcakes but there wax an accident along the way and said cupcakes are no more so there’s our Claire in a flat spin but her knight that caused the accident comes to her rescue and provided a kitchen so she can bake a batch if delicious goodness ! Everyone falls in love with her delectable creations but mom is not on board , until she is ….

I laughed hard , I cried hard and o thoroughly enjoyed this read and these are book peeps that become family and live in your heart forever 🥰

I loved watching her and Finn find each other , they laugh , they have fun and they get up to mischief ! They’re so refreshing 🥰 this is one I’ll be resting again and sharing with anyone who’ll lend me their ears ❣️📚

Elusive Surrender (Sinful Duets Book 3) by Via Mari – Review by Heidi Sturgess

Elusive Surrender (Sinful Duets #3)Elusive Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh man it’s been a treat to read these duets and while I’m on the edge of my seat to sink ny teeth into the last one I’m also hesitant because I don’t want it to end 😉

This duet has ELUSIVE which is about Alexis and Sheldon while TENACIOUS is about Nick and Allie .

ELUSIVE

Sheldon and Alexi’s cross paths quite by chance when Alexis finds herself in quite the predicament, let’s just say wrong place ,wrong time , wrong person lucky for her Sheldon is called upon for protection ….

Sheldon and Alexi bring out the unknown hunger in craving in each other for each other and guess what we’re the fortunate souls ( sone would say depraved ) we are to bear witness to this 😉🔥

These 2 kept me on my toes and they were in some tight and dangerous situations , my heart was beating harder than it should at times and it wasn’t just because of the suspense and danger 😉be prepared !

TENACIOUS

I can’t believe it’s coming to an end 😪

So my journey ends with Nick and Allie 😍

Nick is one of those delectable men that always gets what he wants and Allie is the first to say no to him and not fall at his feet and succumb to his charms but girl you’re not going to be able to fight it for to long have you looked into those eyes 👀🔥🥰

Allie is fiercely independent and has walls around her heart , self preservation and all and with her being a nurse she sees a lot and needs to be able to distance herself emotionally but I don’t think she’s ready for what’s coming get way when her path crosses with Nick’s ….

Nick and Allie are on the same team but fighting different aspects of it , Nick is fighting the traffickers while Allie works with the after effects and they’re in a war of evil and epic proportions which sickens me to the pit of my stomach.

Other than Nick and Allie’s relationship I loved the friendship between Allie and Lexi she’s a real good friend, she’s loyal , honest and supportive, a real keeper !

I just loved this duets and these people have become my tribe ❣️📚

Auctioned Surrender (Sinful Duets #2)Auctioned Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m still in love with these covers they’re simply beautiful and that match the content within ❣️📚

In this edition we get spoilt with Auctioned which is the story of Damian and Bryanna and Relentless which follows the lives of Derick and Layla 🥰

AUCTIONED

Damian is part of an elite team of bodyguards that protect billionaires and when the niece of one of these prominent families goes missing it’s Damian that is sent to rescue her from a human trafficking ring !

It seems like it’s a cut case , go in , grab the girl and get out bit this delectable speciMAN is about get more than her bargained … he’s trying to rescue someone who doesn’t want to be rescued but unknown to him the enemy has a bargain chip to hold over Bryanna so don’t get to frustrated with her …..

Don’t read Bryanna wrong she comes forth as a bit of a damsel but she’s strong and fiercely protective of her loved ones and yes like me she has a weakness when it comes to Damian 😱🔥

Also if I was Bryanna I wouldn’t fight Damian for just let him have his way 🤣 he’s an alpha and know what he wants and despite his frustration he’s still patient in the teaching of “ his ways”🥰🔥

I liked that I got different perspectives from different characters it feel like you have a better idea of the characters and what makes them who they are , they climbed into my dark heart 😉

RELENTLESS

These books are like aging red wine , each one gets better with time 😉

This time round I got uk spend time with Layla and Derick and let me tell you what Layla is a force to be reckoned with 😉

So Derick is also part of the elite team that protects people but he’s responsible for 2 of the most powerful mafia kings in the world 😱 and they ask him to look after Layla and boy does he have his full she’s full is sass , she’s feisty and fearless and he has to call in all sorts of favours to keep her safe.

I know the word word Maui’s scares people and yes sone of them are bad but there are those that have hard nos’s when it comes to trafficking so you guys are my heroes ! Anyhoo Layla is a woman on a mission she needs to find and save her sister and friend before it’s too late and I get why she’s kitting about who she can trust but Dereck is on her side and gosh it takes her a while to realise but when she dies they’re a formidable team 🔥

My kindle was a n fire , blood pressure sky high and I broke out into a sweat on more than occasion !
This was a read with with drama ,suspense ,angst , tension , spicy steamy romance ,tension , action and so much more !

Fair warning if you’re a sensitive reader rather avoid this series but if you like reading on the dark side …. Welcome you out world !

It was very clever to do so in instalments because you’re left hanging and wondering who , what and why 😱😉

Bella girl loves her romance novels but real life isn’t the same as where we loose ourselves , being single in your 30’s and trying online dating can be both fun and intimidating and we get to join Bella on her journey and I tell you what it’s been entertaining to say the least 😉

MR WIMP

After 12 years of marriage Bella’s husband decides he wants to move on and it would seem a third party is involved but I’ve my doubts but that’s a story for later , she’s now going to enter the scary world of 30 something dating and I say scary but it’s actually quite amusing and liberating and it may it may not boost your confidence a little ….

Joel I just want to tell you that you’re a chop for cheating on Bella and then you still have the cheek to make her feel like you walking away was her fault 🤮 shame on you !

Bella you go on as many dates as you need girl , have fun and find your knight in shining armour 🥰😉

MR STEAMY

Bella girl is still out having fun and when hunky Batman Liam crosses her path I cheered from the sides 🤣😉 he’s like a walking fantasy 🤣🔥

Liam is a love them and leave them kind of man and I must say I had a little chuckle when Liam offers himself up as the “sacrificial lamb “to help Bella out with “training and research “

Bella then meets Jack online and where does she meet up with !? At the bar ! I’m like hello girl you’ve got your hands full now what 🤷‍♀️

MR PLAYER

So Bella has left Liam eating her dating dust bubbles and now is getting a taste of Jack 😱😉

The jury is out on Jack on whether or not he’s a Casanova or not but let’s not get to excited because Bella decides to take a breather and I can’t say I blame her , she has been busy but while deciding to take a sabbatical delectable Jensen messaged her …,

What’s a better distraction than a girls weekend away !? Jensen is a delectable soeciMAN and I hope he stays around a little …..

MR KINKY

This one is my favourite by far 😉

Let’s just say Jensen added ALOT of fun , games and spice 🔥

I had fun with these guys but not as much as Bella did 🤣😉🔥

A cute short story about how a woman’s belief in God lead to the miracle return of her cat Muffin.

Shifter Shorts by TK Lawyer – Review by Mary Espinoza

Shifter ShortsShifter Shorts by T.K. Lawyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

T. K. Lawyer is a first-time author for me, so I was excited to read something new and unique! I really enjoyed the fact there were 6 very different short shifter stories; it wasn’t just normal shifter stories. I had never really read a book like this one and it was kind of refreshing to be introduced to a different kind of book. There are stories about a big cat, a gargoyle, a Hellhound, a dragon/vampire hybrid, a wolf, and a great white shifter. Every story was very different but at the same time kind of similar. The characters needed a little bit more developing, but that could just be because they were all pretty short stories. The world building was pretty well thought out, even with the shortened length. I was taken into many different worlds with the stories, you were transported into forests, cities, the ocean, and even the underworld itself all through the creativity of T. K. Lawyer. Some of these stories I would love to see as full-length stories and some of these stories were better left as the short stories. Overall, a quick, interesting read by an author I wouldn’t mind reading more stories from.

This is the conclusion to The Savage Duet. This is not a sweet romance. This story is dark and like the name says savage. Kingston and Ava have to find their way in this world. He wants her protected but he can’t seem to protect her from himself. This is the type of story where he would burn down the world for her. I loved watching the way this story played out and how much the characters learned about themselves along the way.

Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart – Review by Jessie Hopkins

1 Chapter in and I was hooked.
Hollis and Cash’s banter is so fun. Until it goes too far and Cash’s business and family livelihood is on the line. But again, cue Hollis, and now she’s helping. Funny, quick-witted AND business savvy, she’s pretty much the full package.
I loved the drive and independence that Hollis has, as well as the determination and caring that Cash possesses. They have so many similar qualities, it is obvious why they also get along once they get past their initial razzing of one another.
This is a great book, and I’m looking forward to the next one.

As always, the author has a way to pull you in from the beginning. It’s so easy to get lost in the story. The characters are interwoven in such a way that they all are in each other’s stories throughout the series. The backstories of each character in this novel, Riley and Cole, are really good yet sad at the same time. The characters are very relatable and seem to fit together before they realize what’s happening. I recommend that whenever you plan to read this novel, please read it in one sitting, that’s how great it is.

Kingdom of 7 Sovereigns: WolfKingdom of 7 Sovereigns: Wolf by R.C. Reigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am completely enamored by this book and these fantastic characters. When I read (GOT and LOTR meet Pride and Prejudice as book one of the Kingdom of Seven Sovereigns series follows four noble teens into their inaugural year at the Bastion academy), in the description I knew I had to read this book and wow am I glad I did. R. C. Reigh has created such an amazing world within these pages that you won’t want to leave! You are pulled into the story even more as you get the first-person perspective and really get to see and know what the characters are feeling and experiencing.

Will the fragile peace of these seven kingdoms be able to remain intact or will the 500 years of war start up again? Amelia, the Princess of Avonlee, wants to keep the peace, but she wants her freedom as well. That means her finding anyway to be released from the marriage part of the treaty that her parent’s setup with the wolf king of Carpathia, Prince Danes’ father. The arrogant Prince Dane, who is reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice Mr. Darcy will have you both loving and hating him! While other characters like Kessara, the necromancer’s daughter, will leave you trying to guess what she will do next to disrupt the school and everyone in it. This school, which is the first of its kind, has taken several years to make to ensure the safety of all the seven kingdoms’ royal descendants along with other students, so that they can come together and learn from and about one another. Will they make friends or are they destined to be enemies despite the treaty of peace? I honestly can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

This is book one and here we have two sides of a coin in the main characters. Kylee Parker is a police officer and works straight down the line not seeing ethnicity, right or wrong, and good guys versus bad guys. She plays fair. Jayson Donovan ended up going down the wrong road gets involved with the wrong people. They knew each other in their school days and Kylee had a huge crush on Jayson. After she arrests him he tries to rekindle their friendship, but it’s not a good look for an officer to date a criminal. Not to mention that Jayson has secrets that someone doesn’t want to get out. It could get both of them hurt, or worse. This has been a great series and I had fun reading it. I read the books out of order but never felt like I missed anything due to a continuing storyline. As always the author did a great job bringing the characters to life.
