Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance (Love on Tap Book 3)Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoy this series! And though Deja Brew All Over Again isn’t my favorite it’s an extremely close second to book 1. I love the characters the author has created. The depth of each Brooks family member is beautifully developed as you read their character’s story. All the books are connected in succession, so you could try to read it independently, but it’s better starting with book 1 and working your way through.
This book in particular focuses on the troublemaker. At least that’s how he’s made out to be. Miller was a teen when his father died of negligence during a routine procedure and he hasn’t been the same since. Did he get into trouble, sure what teenager doesn’t but the family makes it seem like it more so because he could.
His life changed for the better when he found out his latest arrest would not lead to jail time. Since that incident brought him to the courthouse he never would’ve imagined he would be gunning it away with a beautiful runaway bride in tow.
Maisy is trying to figure out her life. What’s best for her and her little brother. However one thing she does realize is marrying Jameson isn’t it. When she jumps in Miller’s car it sets off events for a life change she wasn’t expecting.
Can Miller let go of his playboy ways?
What about Maisy is she willing to ignore what’s right in front of her?
A series of unfortunate events that impact the entire Brooks family is the beginning of what truly starts to bring these two together.
The question is, who’s the enemy this time?
That and so many more come to mind while reading this story. It’s great and I loved it.
Now it’s your turn to check it out and feel the same way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in and didn’t want to put it down. I felt like I had more than one story going on. There are several twists and turns. I really liked the characters, you could feel their connection coming off the pages. Having military in my family, I felt for Waters on his PTSD and wanting to keep her at arm’s length. I like duel POV so I can see what they both are thinking, adds more to the story this way.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. We get suspense, danger, mystery, and so much more. My emotions were all over the place and some LOL moments. The author’s writing is great and she pulls you right into her story. You feel like you are right there with the characters. I will warn there is a scene that could cause triggers for some so beware. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series and I have enjoyed every book so far and this one was just as good as the last two. The two main characters are Sheldon & Alexis. They’re such good mcs and I enjoyed reading their story and watching them navigate through their tricky relationship and romance. They definitely had chemistry and it was hot hot hot. I think they’re my favorite couple so far!
This book was well written and I enjoyed the story that the author gave us and I cannot wait to read more of their work in the future!
Happy reading!

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

 

5 Stars

 

Elusive Surrender is the third riveting instalment in the Sinful Duets series by Via Mari. This is a fantastic romantic suspense duet that contains two standalone stories- ‘Elusive’ and ‘Tenacious’.
As always, I love the way Via Mari weaves her stories with plenty of chemistry, sizzle, danger, secrets, hidden agendas, action, mystery, a whole lot of intrigue, emotion, and so much more. I’m always guaranteed of a unputdownable read when I dive into one of her stories, and that’s certainly the case for this duet too.

Elusive:
This is Alexis and Sheldon’s story (whom we have met previously)- where Alexis finds herself in a sticky situation when an international sex trafficker sets his eyes on her and Sheldon is tasked with protecting her. What happens makes for an exciting read.

Tenacious:
Here we join Nick and Allie for their story, picking up one month after they met in ‘Elusive’ (Book #5). Nick hasn’t been able to get Allie out of his head. But he is certain that the danger hasn’t passed- she will definitely need to be protected until the threat can be completely eliminated. But that doesn’t necessarily mean she will fall at his feet. Chemistry sizzles and sparks fly!!! I loved Nick and Allie- and I also loved getting answers in the trafficking story that has been running through the series!

I love that we get a duet, two fantastic stories brought together in one book- it really allowed me to sink my tenth into two enticing stories. I love the Billionaire Bodyguards, and this is a great way to immerse yourself in their world.
So well woven- Via Mari is known for her superb romantic suspense stories and this book showcases that brilliantly. Again, she easily builds the tension and suspense to an all-time high, then throws in a massive amount of combustible chemistry- all the while balancing the intensity with lighter touching moments and heart-aching emotion.
Another riveting read from this talented author!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Via Mari!

Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance (Love on Tap Book 3)Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Maisy puts others before herself…especially her little brother, Bear. However, when she flees her own wedding (being chased by the groom and her dad), she finds herself jumping into a car hoping to make a getaway. Miller is known as the screw-up in his family and is not taken seriously. Even though he drives this bride away, he doesn’t expect the events that will follow. And, for a guy who is accustomed to one night stands, he doesn’t expect the relationship that builds between him and Maisy. But, can they really get that happily ever after?!? It sure isn’t going to be easy.

Miller has been one of my favorite characters in the series…and this just cemented that spot! I enjoyed how Maisy saw beyond what everyone else believes. And Bear…oh my goodness…stole the show! The situations that arise in this book definitely kept me turning the pages1 Looking forward to the next one!!

Sweet Dreams by Claire (Capture the Light, #2)Sweet Dreams by Claire by Nanette Littlestone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Set in the beauty that can only be found in Ireland, this book has well written characters that will make you feel like you are stepping into their world, and very much wish you never had to leave. The world building is phenomenal, and the characters are flawed, but loveable and are all trying their best to do their best for those they care about. Claire is biding her time until she can take over the family bakery, and make the changes that she feels need to be made to expand from the staples that her parents have always made to the more adventurous confections that she prefers and comes up with on her own. When she meets Brigid and Finn Cleary, her world is changed for the better, as she learns that not every problem is one she has to solve, not every male will view someone who is less than perfect physically as worthless, and that friends are the best part of life. This book is the second in the Capture the Light series, but can definitely be read as a standalone.

Deja Brew All Over Again by Sylvie Stewart was Millers book in her Love on Tap. Boy this is misunderstood but so sweet. As the youngest boy and the family screw-up, no one ever takes him seriously. I am so thrilled that he god a happily ever after. Maisy is strong and ruthless. She loves her family, well her little brother, and does for others more than herself. Miller helps her out of a rough situation, and she finds herself falling for him. I loved this book, Miller deserves someone who loves him and understands him. The story was funny, cute and sweet. While I assume the story can be a stand alone, I’d totally read in order as I LOVE the fact that you get glimpses in the other family members. This has been one of my favorite series, and I cannot wait for Lynn!

It has been a long while since I’ve read one of Sylvies books and I am so mad at myself for waiting this long! Ales Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart is book one in her Love on Tap series. let me tell you it was so good and so dang cute. I loved everything about it! “Where are you going with your face?” She had me laughing so hard at the feud and pranks between Hollis and Cash. I totally loved Hollis and her personality. Sylvie knows how to make the characters feel like your best friends. She has a way of describing everything so you feel like you’re right there in the middle of the story. You can feel the chemistry between them and the tension, oh man, that was palpable. I’ve already fallen for this family and cannot wait to read about the rest of the boys and Lynn, too!

Good Enough (The Deadman’s Tribe Series Book 1) by Nicole Craig – Review by Jessie Hopkins

/0 Comments/in /by

This book was such a struggle for me. I wanted to put it down so that I could savor the story, I wanted to binge read it because it was so good. I stayed up late, reading long after I should have been in bed. I had to leave all Kindle devices away so that I could focus on the other responsibilities of my life because I was so wrapped up in Kai & Taylor’s story, I knew that I would get nothing else done.
Kai is a wonderful producer and very great at her job. With a smart mouth and her creative cussing, she was easy to related to. Taylor is the best at his job, which is secretive and nobody really knows what he does, unless he wants you to know.
There is everything in this book. The romance, mystery, suspense. All the things that keep you turning the pages as rapidly as you can.
Honestly, is it August yet? I’m ready for book 2! I want to know more about everyone.G

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed this book so much as I am quite a bit older than the target audience. This is the second book in the Bunker Hill Mystery Series which includes our lovable 11-year-old detective Sparky. Much has changed from the first book and it’s all for the better…well mostly. She is doing her best to locate the stolen jewels while trying to avoid a cannibal. I enjoyed the setting again in this book as the author has a knack for transporting you to 1930s Los Angeles. I loved the flow of the story and found myself caught in the fast pace of it all. I recommend picking this up if you’re looking for a fun and cozy mystery.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read several books by this author and this one just proves why I keep coming back! Their ability to create such a magnificent world with well-developed characters ranks them high on my list. The first story follows Damian and Bryanna who have page-turning chemistry that I couldn’t get enough of. A marvelously written romance filled to the brim with suspense and emotions. In the second story we get to know Dereck and Layla with plenty of steamy scenes thrown in. I loved all of the characters in both books, but my favorites were the phenomenal females! They were strong, independent, and ready to do whatever it takes to get through. I hope you’re ready to spend your weekend with them all because you won’t be able to put this one down. I highly recommend diving in!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m not sure if there is an exact order to read these books in but I read The Cold Kid Case first and this one after it. Described as a YA, cozy mystery, I would check out the subject matter before just handing it to your kiddo as you definitely want to be sure they are mature enough to handle that. A little hard to get into at first but still an immensely enjoyable story. Once the action starts it doesn’t stop and I couldn’t wait to find out what happened. The characters were lifelike and fit the time period well. Again, told from her point of view we get an idea of what it’s like to be a scrappy, orphan, in this day and age, and how tough it is to survive on the street. Appreciate Bardens wonderful storytelling and can’t wait to find out what Sparky gets into next.

Although The Cold Kid Case is geared toward a YA audience I was still able to enjoy this fun, cozy mystery. After looking at the cover and reading the blurb about the book I thought it was going to be a little more geared toward young children but that wasn’t the case. We get a good idea of how the 1930’s was and how kids were treated and with Sparky being an 11 year old orphan it definitely wasn’t safe and she had to fight for everything. Told from her point of view it was a wild, entertaining ride to the end.

This duet is an awesome read that I had a hard time putting down. The first book in this duet is Elusive. Alexis and Sheldon’s story is one you don’t want to miss out on. The second book in this Duet is called Tenacious and is Nick and Allie’s story. Both of these stories contain danger, action, strong men and women who have found themselves in a dangerous situation. I have loved everything I have read by this author and this series is no different. Each of these books are filled with great characters. I am kept at the edge of my seat while turning pages. I became completely invested in the outcome of these characters’ story. I know that everytime I pick up a book by this author I will not be disappointed. Every book in this series kept getting better. I am always intrigued by the story line and kept entertained throughout the entire book. I highly recommend reading this, and the entire series you will not regret it. I can’t wait to read my next book by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was not sure what to expect from this book especially since it seemed like historical fiction. Then I read the prologue and BAM vampires! There was a lot going on and quite a few characters but it was an original story and I really enjoyed it. The setting is the early 1500s but I felt like it could have been the early 1900s. Julia is 15 and being married off to a man she doesn’t know. She is in love with Adam, the son of a family household servant. Her sister tells her that she doesn’t trust him, her father and brother are pushing her towards him, her mother is just silent and not saying anything. She married Gregory and it didn’t go well. He is abusive and she tries to get away a few times. She meets Adam a few times in the market and has to cover her bruises and hide her face. She finally hits the desperate point of no return and is saved by a stranger who turns out to be a vampire. I enjoyed the characters, the family vibe of the vampires, and even England in the 1500s. Can’t wait to dig into book two!

Elusive Thank goodness Sheldon was there when Alexis was getting harassed by some crazy man in a coffee shop. Alexis didn’t realize then but, Sheldon was going to be around a lot. Luckily she’s a hair stylist and Sheldon needs one for one of his clients. This book was crazy. I can’t believe the stuff that happened in the book. Sheldon and his team are my hero’s! I need more books by this author soon

Tenacious was just so good. I have read a few books by this author but this has got to be my ultimate favorite. This author knows how to give the readers a perfect balance of heat and mystery. This book can be read as a stand-alone if you wanted to. I would recommend reading all the books in the series as they are all great reads.

This book focuses on Allie who is an ER nurse and is very good at her job. Nick is a bodyguard and Nick has other reasons for wanting to be the one to guard Allie. Nick keeps trying to break down Allie and get to the center of who she really is because of his own reasons. Allie is very attracted to
Nick but, tries to keep her distance. This book has a lot of danger, traffickers, romance and action ( both good and bad kinds )

The book was written well, the characters are great and I think the story will definitely keep your attention as It did mine.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I got this book first and then realized that there was a first book. I like when a series follows different characters, you can still read them out of order and it won’t mess you up too much. I ended up waiting to read this one until I finished the first book and I’m glad I did. The main character Claire is living in a small Irish town and working at the bakery that her family owns. She was injured as a child and not confident in herself and also has a lot of fears that she is avoiding in her life. She literally runs into Finn on her way to the castle to deliver cupcakes for a wedding. Finn, whose family used to own the castle, is riding his bike and runs into Claire. He takes her back to the castle to bake and she ends up coming up with an amazing recipe on the spot and bakes and is given the job to bake for the bride. Claire wants to try new things at the bakery but her mom is set in her ways. Finn is an American and sails all around the world. They collide and then take time to get to know each other. Claire has never felt that she would be worthy of a man looking at her and Finn is smitten. This story has baking, magic, Irish charm, and fun characters. I hope there are more in the series because there are so many other characters I would like to get to know better!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deja Brew All Over Again is the third amazing book in the wonderful Love on Tap series. All the books in the series can be read as a standalone but I say read the first two books Ale’s Fair in Love and War and Smooth Hoperator in the series because you are missing out on some wonderfully fun stories and characters. I have been waiting for Millers story. I really enjoy Sylvie’s easy writing style and eclectic narrative making her one of my favourite authors. This forced proximity steamy Rom Com is light, fun and an easy read.
Deja Brew All Over Again has a great plot, a storyline full of humour, lots of warmth, heart, and little heated chemistry. Set in a small town there is a bit of drama, a little suspense, some cuteness, along with a dash of sweetness. It is a quick read that I wish were longer and is told in several POV’s, making it easy to fall in love.
I was laughing out loud at the sassy antics and easy but snarky banter and found myself loving each and every one of these flawed, well-developed, crazy, quirky and fun-loving characters including a skunk named Mango, a nosy as all get out family and cuteness overload with Bear. The main characters are cute as they dance around one another.
What do you do when you’re faced with a hot as hell runaway bride and her little brother sidekick making demands? There is no way I am sharing anything else because Sylvie’s work is to be unwrapped layer by layer like a fine chocolate.
Sit back and watch the sparks fly in this fabulously entertaining read! Grab it. You know you want to.

Sparky Bunker is back!! The Cannibal Caper is Book # 2 in the Sparky of Bunker Hill series and just as fun and full of adventure as the first book. Although this story is more for an audience of 11-18 years of age; this series can be enjoyed at any age. I was looking forward to reading this story and it did not disappoint.

Sparky and the cast of characters are on the hunt to solve another mystery; this one of missing jewels and who knew there would be mad cannibal in the mix! Sparky is now trying to put the puzzle pieces together in trying to figure out this mystery.

Will Sparky be able to solve the case? With her wit and banter and I love her feisty fiery side….definitely read and find out what Sparky and her friends have in store!! What a great read and highly recommended. I am already looking forward to the next installment.

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

Elusive Surrender is the third amazing collection of Elusive and Tenacious, the third in this deliciously dark and sinful duet by Via Mari. They are book five and six in the Billionaire Bodyguards series which you will love, love, love.

Elusive: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 5) by Via Mari is one of my favourites. There is lots of explosive action and deadly suspense, danger, and secrets. I love the alpha hot and sexy men that go above and beyond to protect. They are sexy and charming, witty, and smouldering, dangerous and deadly.

Sheldon and the team have been assigned to protect Alexis when an extremely dangerous man sets his sight on her. It becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse because he will stop at nothing to get her and will go through anyone to get what he wants.

This is another hot and steamy read and a page turner from start to finish.

Tenacious is the sixth book in this titillating Billionaire Bodyguards series by Via Mari. This Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance story is steaming to the point of boiling and has left me wanting more. I have loved the other books in the series, but I think Via has outdone herself with this instalment. I always know I am in safe hands when I get one of Via’s books because her imagination knows no bounds and always gives us a story that has everything needed to make it explode of the page. It is only by sheer willpower that I refrained from turning each page quickly to get to find out what was in store.

Tenacious is indeed the right name for this book where these bodyguards are full of sexiness and alphaness that makes you want to hang on and enjoy the ride and what a ride. With plenty of action and adventure, lots of danger and mystery, buckets full of intrigue and drama, sex trafficking and bad guys, and woohoo, the chemistry and I am not talking about the type in a lab, you find yourself in need of a good stiff drink.

Emotions run rampant as we discover the subtleties that Via has hidden amongst her narrative over the course of the series and just what is in store for us next is anyone’s guess and that is just what I like about her work. Bring it on!

Unfortunately some powerful people from his past are causing problems for his family. Carter needs the rather quirky local librarian Sunny, and her grandfather’s help in a risky plan to free him from his past. Sunny’s personality is as cheerful as her name, but she takes some convincing by Carter to go along with his plan. When Carter agrees to play the part of her fake boyfriend in order to make her true love jealous, Sunny agrees to help him. However, Carter soon develops real feelings for Sunny but is unsure of her true feelings about him. A fun, heartwarming romantic comedy story with likeable and relatable characters in Sunny and Carter. The descriptive narrative brought both the characters and the setting to life and made me feel immersed in the storyline. This was an entertaining and engaging read with a guaranteed HEA.

These two have palpable chemistry in their courtship gone wrong as well as a lot of tension.

There is so much mystery and drama and danger and this being told in multiple pov made it come alive and I kept turning the pages. Cant wait to gobble up the next story in the 7 sovereigns series!

Another fun, lighthearted romantic comedy in this enjoyable and engaging series. It can be read as a standalone story or as part of the series. Having read and enjoyed the previous books I recommend reading the series. Miller is shocked when he’s carjacked by a very pretty girl in a wedding dress, but as the family screw-up he’s not sure he can be her knight in shining armour. Runaway bride Maisy and her little brother need Miller’s help, but he’s just got out of jail and trouble seems to find him. However, Maisy sees the good in him and is determined that others see that too, including Miller himself. Miller knows he should be pushing her away for her own good, but can’t help asking himself if he could be her knight after all. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I loved the likeable and relatable characters, both old and new. The chemistry between Maisy and Miller sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. The small town feel came across in the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in the storyline.

Sweet Dreams by Claire: A Heartwarming Irish Romance (Capture the Light, Book 2)Sweet Dreams by Claire: A Heartwarming Irish Romance by Nanette Littlestone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claire is a woman who lives for baking sweet treats and flavour, so it is a good thing that she works in her family bakery, but her dream is to experiment more with flavours, however, the family bakery is very traditional. One day, Claire is asked to go up to the local castle and deliver some cupcakes for a clients wedding, although she thinks they are a little boring, she agrees and sets off on the long walk up the hill, unfortunately, a wayward cyclist foils that plan and squashes the box, but thankfully, Claire is given permission to use the resort kitchen to make some new ones and this leads on to a surprise invitation to the wedding itself.

As the days pass and the wedding grows closer, Claire is enveloped into the chaos that is Brigid Cleary and her family, including her dashing brother Finn, the man who is determined to take her out of her routine and explore the world around her. This completely unsettles Claire as she helps out with wedding dilemma’s, all while still working in the bakery, but when her past comes back to haunt her while spending time with her newfound friends, she has a feeling that it is going to spoil the connections she is fostering.

The only thing Claire did not plan for was a gift with some of the magic of Ireland crashing into her life as moonlight and emotion mix, but with the dawning of a new day, things come crashing down around Claire and she has to make the decision to either accept the new direction her life is going, or bow down to the traditional values she once adored, but are the consequences attached to each option too much? This is a sweet romance based in Claremore, Ireland where culture, magic, emotions and baking collide to lead you on a journey of romance, courage and creativity.

The Scent of SnowThe Scent of Snow by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging historical romance with a festive feel which kept me happily turning the pages. Set on the Count of Almoster’s estate, Pedro and Anne Daun from ‘The Winemakers Series’, epic love story continues. I would personally recommend reading the books in this series in order. Although it’s the Christmas season Anne and Pedro both seem to want different things for their future together. Whilst Anne is yearning for a child, Pedro who is scarred from his painful past is guarding his heart against being a father. As the family gather for their festive celebrations, the snow starts to fall and when a young boy gets lost in this snowy wilderness Pedro goes to rescue him, but finds his courage is tested. Pedro is forced to face his fears and find the true meaning of love and forgiveness, but Anne and Pedro’s marriage remains at risk with the couple wanting different futures, but hopefully their love is strong enough. I was once again transported back in time and to the Count of Almoster’s estate, this time in the snow which gave a lovely Christmas feel to the story. The setting was brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative and the added historical details which I’ve come to expect in this series. I loved being back with Anne and Pedro and enjoyed spending the festive period with them!
