My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wedding War (Romance in Rehoboth Book 5) is the fifth book in the series and such a joy. It is crazy and wonderful and unexpected. How KL comes up with the ideas she does I would love to know. Because if it is based on anything real then I need to know. I laughed until I cried and it was just what I needed to escape reality. I absolutely love the band of friends who are more than happy to help out with any wild and crazy things needed when helping friends in need. It is almost a slap stick at it’s best.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Moore Affair (Moore Family Saga Book 4) by Michele Sims is another well written story in the series and the characters are enjoyable. I suggest reading the other books before this one so you have a full understanding of all the characters involved. No, it is not necessary but it will help. Bella is finally marrying the man of her dreams and she knows he is a lot to take on and his past, but she hopes she is up to the task because love has no bounds.

All the Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan is a great friend to romance story that flowed right off the page and into my heart. The characters are to die for Worts and faults and insecurities and all. This is an emotional read but also funny and a heartfelt read that I was unable to put down and had to read in one sitting. It had a bit of everything and the right mixture to draw you in and some. Erin has done a fantastic job and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Why (Stalker Series Book 2)Why by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Why (Stalker Series Book 2) by Megan Mitcham is a Psychological thriller at its best. It will keep you on the edge of your seat from the start to the end and will have your heart pumping. Megan is one of those writers that gets inside your head and makes you think is this real or what is hiding in the shadows or where is she taking me. I was constantly on my toes and I felt like I had run a marathon by the time I had finished. Even though you don’t have to, I would read the books in order. If ever there should be a movie made these books would be in the running. Megan’s words pop of the page and the psychological aspect is palpable and so, so vivid. The characters are strong successful women and together they take the world by storm, but they are the truest of friends. I would say that this is one of the best books I’ve read this year!

Descendants of Time and Death ( The Gods' Scion, #2)Descendants of Time and Death by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Descendants of Time and Death (The Gods’ Scion Book 2) by Winnifred Tataw was an interesting read. I enjoyed the premise of the story but had trouble settling into it in the beginning but it soon picked up. The story didn’t flow as seamlessly as I would have liked but that aside it is an intriguing story. Winnifred certainly has the creativeness and the story is full of lies and heartache, hatred and fear, action and drama, broken dreams and promises, greed and war. I enjoyed the main characters and the world Winnifred has created and the uniqueness of it all.

This is the first book I have read by this author, and I should have started with the first book but did not realise that it was the second book until after I had started. I look forward to going back to the first book and continuing on from here.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Midnight in the House of Lang by Bree M Lewandowski is a dystopian romance and is an interesting and intriguing read. It is a steampunk sci-fi and unique in Bree’s telling as she has cleverly woven the threads together with her wonderful world building. Her vivid words make the world seem real and the journey is set in a future where the world has been ravaged by war and society has been reduced back to horses and steam power to airships and much more. I am looking forward to seeing what Bree has in store for us next and where she will take us.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Jenni Bishop

/0 Comments/in /by

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series by K.L. Montgomery is a must for anyone who loves romantic comedies. KL has gotten the formula down pat and provides much needed comic relief. With these wonderful stories all in one boxset you can’t go wrong.

 

Badge Bunny (Romance in Rehoboth Book 4) is the fourth book in the series and just as fun as the others. I enjoy reading books that K.L. writes as they are fun and quirky and make you laugh out loud. I also love that she writes in several POV’s which makes them even funnier when you are reading from the male perspective. I absolutely adored each one I have read. I suggest you read them in order as the characters cross over and make them feel like old friends. One Cop possibly looking for love, One Doctor sworn off Cops, One Wedding, One Storm and some misunderstandings make for some interesting times and one great read. Trust me when I say you can not, not read this series. I can’t wait to see what K.L. has for us next.

 

Wedding War (Romance in Rehoboth Book 5) is the fifth book in the series and such a joy. It is crazy and wonderful and unexpected. How KL comes up with the ideas she does I would love to know. Because if it is based on anything real then I need to know. I laughed until I cried and it was just what I needed to escape reality. I absolutely love the band of friends who are more than happy to help out with any wild and crazy things needed when helping friends in need.  It is almost a slap stick at it’s best.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Romance in Rehoboth is a three-book box set by KL Montgomery. Each is fun and engaging and should not be.

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1) was just what I needed. A nice and refreshing funny romance comedy. I love that KL writes about real women with less than what others perceive perfect bodies. There were lots of feels in this story, but I laughed out loud so often my husband thought I had gone bonkers. KL has a way with words that just make you settle in for the ride and enjoy yourself.

The Flip (Romance in Rehoboth Book 2) is a sweet romance story that is an easy, light and enjoyable read. The characters are fun and engaging and will make you laugh out loud and make your heart flutter. The story is told from their different POV’s which gave it more of that pop factor. K.L. has that magic factor when writing her stories and this one had it in spades. Her word building of the characters and the world in which they live have you imagining each and every vibrant piece by piece to make the story a whole. K.L. is one author that should always be on your read list as her stories are easy and connective and just the right amount of bite size to keep you satisfied.

Plot Twist (Romance in Rehoboth Book 3) is a fun romantic comedy and I loved this sweet story. This story has many great facets that make for a wonderful read. Set in a small town, with a musical, a dog and a second chance at love will have you falling in love with these crazy wonderful people characters. I also love that none of these characters are perfect; they are just as flawed as the rest of us and size doesn’t matter. Meric has been burnt and has sworn off woman. Lindy is shy and is looking after her elderly parents. But what they find together is something they never saw coming. If you want to know what happens, then grab a copy today. You will not be disappointed.

Friday seems to always find herself in situations not of her making and getting herself out of them, but she is also drawn to finding out just what is going on and who is involved. If you love adventure heroes, a little mystery and an evil Dr D then this series is an intriguing read.

This book sees Dylan once again the centre of attention as it appears, she has been set upon by magic older than time and the reason why is unsure but this sassy loudmouth cannot keep her anger under control once her goat is up. This thrilling read is set in NOLA and is ripe with vampires and voodoo, mystery and danger, drama and suspense. My only complaint is that RM always leaves me hanging when the going gets good so now I am anxiously awaiting the next book.

The story is well written and kept me intrigued throughout. There were times when I was extremely frustrated with the characters but I did enjoy it.

In this book the players are tasked with finding a treasure that is coveted and is shrouded in mystery and age old time. Again I found myself thinking that the story could have been told in fewer words but it was interesting to see how James has grown from his first. I look forward to seeing where he takes us next.
