Dagda’s Daughter Raven and Hummingbird Book 2 by Nikki Broadwell is a fantasy where there is mayhem and kidnapping, lies and secrets, fear and love, otherworlds and magical powers. It is the story of Gods and Goddesses and the world they live but also the world on earth that they sometimes they dwell in. It is a great story and Nikki gives us a wild ride whilst you are on the edge of your seat devouring each and every word.
Dagda has done everything for the love of his life but his evil and deceit is changing not only the world but the Otherworld as well. But rather than own up to his misdoings he blames his own flesh and blood and he will stop at nothing to bring her down.
Katel doesn’t know who she is and that is because her father has taken everything away from her just to keep his secrets. Those around her are trying to keep her safe until she is able to care for herself.
I look forward to the next book where the fight to save the worlds is in full swing.

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body by KL Montgomery is everything we know but most don’t put into practice. This is a very different book than what she normally writes but it is written honestly and with humour. It is a book that is aimed at self-love and to be comfortable in the skin in which you wear every day. Let’s face it many of us don’t like what we see in ourselves, but we live with it anyway.
This book is designed to help you become that if you want without being to serious. Give it ago you never know.

Set it Free (Fallen Eagles MC Book 3) by T. Birmingham is a romantic suspense and I loved it. It is the third book in the series, and I suggest you start at the beginning and work up to this one because there is a lot of reference of things that happened in the other two books. Each book is about one of four sisters. Pages turned quickly because I needed to know what the outcome was. It is an emotional read and yes there were tears ok a lot of tears but there were also moments of laughter.
Springs past continues to haunt her and to dull her pain in alcohol is the only way she can cope. Unfortunately, she has to hit rock bottom and lose the one thing trying to hold her together.
Callum ‘Casper’ Gordon can’t walk away but doesn’t want to deal with old enemies. He needs to overcome his past to move on.
Will they both get what they want? To find out grab a copy you will love it as well.

Kermode Legends Series Book 2 by Maggie Adams is a paranormal shifter story that is engaging and funny and is a wonderful read. The characters were likable and unique and made me laugh out loud. Can they fight the evil threatening them?
Piper has a secret that not even she knows about. Weird dreams of bears and men keep her rest fitful. She is not sure what is going on but when strange things start happening, she is thrust into a world that only exists in books or does it?
Noah just cracked me up he is so sweet and cuddly. He is on a mission to find out what dark mystery is shrouding his hometown.

Tanuja Ramachandran Hunter-Seeker by Kumar Sivasubramanian is the strangest bizarre and absolutely crazy story I have ever read. It is an original tale of a gun blazing sari wearing narcoleptic woman who has lost it all and is out for revenge. It is fast paced, and action packed and did have me laughing. The whole story was ridiculously set around covert operations and violence, revenge and chaos, adventure and let’s not forget the superhuman roller derby team. It was like a bad comic book with lots of players/characters and I most certainly got lost with their names and at times the story in general because there is a lot going on.
If you like something a little crazy and mad, comic and anime with a little bit of revenge thrown in then this is for you.
Master’s Rise Book One (Phoenix Series) by L. Ann Marie is a new author is to me and I enjoyed this story. I have to say it took me a little bit to settle into the way the author writes but once it started to flow for me it really became a good read. The characters just make you fall in love with them and they made me laugh out loud so many times. There is plenty of action and drama, fun and comradery and a brotherhood second to none. I read the story in one sitting and had to stay up till 2am just because I had to know how it ended.
Seren has always been treated differently because of the way she looks but she is so much more that her prettiness and blond hair. She and her friends are hilarious and crazy to boot. They are strong and sassy and don’t apologise for who they are.
Cort is starting again having left his old MC, but he quickly realises that some of his brothers follow him and they start their own MC from the ground up. There is plenty of trouble in their new town to keep them busy and the club grows quickly. These men crack me up they do what has to be done and have each other’s backs at all times but they are just funny with their antics. Whilst all this is going on he cannot keep away from the blonde beauty.
I will have to go back and read through the impressive list of books that L. Ann Marie has written and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Hennessey on the Rocks by Monica DeSimone is a wonderful story and I read in one sitting. It is a story that will tug on your heart strings but will also make you laugh out loud as it is a very emotive tale. The characters are so easy to love and through Monica’s writing you can easily imagine who they are and get carried away with them on their journey. It is a second chance love story but it is a refreshing and originals storyline. It seemed to be professionally edited. I really enjoyed how this story carried me away into its world.
Charlie and Johnnie have always loved each other ever since they met as children but sometimes love is not enough, not when demons of one’s past get in the way. Johnnie has always been the darker person fighting his demons and always the one to take but when Charlie is down for the count he is the one that needs to pick up the pieces. However there is one secret that could keep them apart.
Abbie is a precocious 3 year old that will knock your socks off. She is a force of nature and had me laughing out loud.

Singles: And Other Singularities (The Woman Scientist Trilogy 2- The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman starts of slow, I am not sure why, but it always takes me ages to get into these books, but I do enjoy them in the end. The characters always make me want to slap them for putting up with their boss and for the way some of these men treat women. But I always end up enjoying the story.
Leda is once again back at the lab doing what she loves and trying to work out her place in the world and those within it. I love her conversations with the Old Man, they make me laugh. I am glad that she is seeing that she needs to find herself before hooking up with a man again. She is a very complex woman with her emotions, and it makes me want to hug her and shake her at the same time and tell her to loosen up and stop being so grumpy. Any way there are lots of ups and downs for all the characters as they struggle with their lives and the different cultures they are faced with and not to mention the boss from hell. I would love to see what karma brings that woman, nasty woman.
If you have enjoyed the other books you will like this one.

Rule (The Larussio Legacy Book 1) by Via Mari is another great story that is part of the original story of one of the most powerful families in the world. It can be read as a standalone but as a lot of the main characters are from the original Prestian series, I would go back to the beginning so you have a much better idea where it all started. Trust me they are just as good. I love that the original characters share an active part of each of the series. I love the worlds she has created and the new characters fit in perfectly. What can I say, I love her work.
Katarina Prestian is now in charge along with her cousin Giovanni Larussio’s of making her father’s wishes come true. But there is only one thing standing in her way and threat is the rest of the Larussio family. That should be easy right? But not when the family is the Italian Mob. Can Chase and his team keep her safe and carry out her father’s dream?
Giovanni Larussio doesn’t know Katarina from Adam and doesn’t know what to expect but rest assured everything he does is for the family and nothing will get in the way of that. However, an unexpected beauty now fills his thoughts but she wants nothing to do with him and his family after what they have put her through. Can Giovanni help Katarina fulfil his uncle’s dream without upsetting the family? Can he find out the problem that is standing in his way of love and keep them all safe?
This is a definite addition to your TBR book list. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in any of the series from Via but I look forward to seeing where she goes with Sheldon and Alexis. I think it will be explosive. I just can’t get enough of any of these amazing and sexy characters.

Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1 by Manda Mellett is a new series of the second generation of the members of the Devils MC club. Most of the original members are there but have or are taking a back seat to the new members who most happen to be their kids. It is a great start to the new series and I absolutely loved, loved, loved the characters and the other books and I fell just as in love with this book too. Manda does MC books well and I always hang for more of these wonderful men and women who take care of their own, who serve their own kind of justice and love like no others.
Amy has come home for Christmas but it is the last place she wants to be, she doesn’t want them to know her dirty secret. Unfortunately her family knows her too well and soon some know what is giving her the haunted look on her face. One the old members cannot sand will not walk away from, vengeance is the only way for the one who hurt their little girl. One man has been her rock since her life was turned upside down but can he give her what she really wants? Now being home the one she longed for, for the longest time offers her something that may just make her whole again. But who will she chose?
I cannot wait to see what Manda gives us next and I want the next book now. Just a hint Manda.

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn is a suspense thriller and another story where Detective Edward Petrosky is out to catch the killer, but we get to see the softer side to him as well. I have enjoyed this character and is no nonsense ways and his thoughts make me laugh at times. Meghan has once again cleverly constructed a story that is full of tension and suspense, intrigue and thrills and I was glued to the pages from beginning to end. Meghan also addressed the issue of mental illness and those dealing with the fallout of once being at war.
Petrosky has lost so much and is finally pulling himself together for the women in his life. His way of thinking is clever, and he works hard to catch the killers but he also loses a little bit more of himself in the process. He is also a softy who will always help those who need a little more.
I am looking forward to what the next book has in store for us.

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn is an absolute fantastic series. There is nothing better than having more than one book available to you for a great series because you can just jump straight into the next book. Meghan delivers stories that will leave your heart beating fast and wanting to turn on every light in the house.
Famished is very very dark and twisted serial killer mystery thriller story that contains very disturbing and extremely graphic scenes and may cause triggers in some. This style of story may not be for everyone and certainly not for the faint of heart. But for all that it is sickening and perplexing, gruesome and in parts repulsive, Meghan did a really good job at keeping me guessing right to the very twisted and creepy end. The story is told in several POV’s and I am still a little confused at some parts but soldiered on. At the end I just sat there and went wow, what did I just read and how do I feel? I still can’t answer how I feel but the story is well written, and the characters are disturbing and damaged, and the shock factor is off the charts.
Conviction An Ash Park Novel (Volume 2) is another winner in this thriller series. The angst, the tension, the lies, the fear and the loss is so strong that you will find yourself creeping closer to the edge of your seat and your shoulders tensing with each passing page. The emotions this story provokes are at times overwhelming and the tears flow but you are so glued to the story and what is happening that you can’t break away. If Meghan makes you feel like you are in the story and it is up to you to work out what is going on but don’t be fooled because what you thought you knew may not be as it seems. This is one book that needs to be read with a good strong drink. Good work Meghan.
Repressed is the third book in the Ash Park Series and is another brilliant addition to the psychological thriller series. Repressed is a lot dark and disturbing, a little chilling and super thrilling. Whenever I read anything from Meghan, I know I am in safe hands and always enjoy the fascinating and twisted world in which she weaves. The tension and suspense that built, not only in the story but within myself as I watched what these characters went through was compelling and gripping and had me on edge right the way through. I think this maybe the best book in the series to date. Will they survive all that is thrown at them or give up and give in?
I was so engaged and engrossed in this story that I read it all in one sitting.
I highly recommend this boxset to those who like to read something dark and twisted.

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is full of surprises and is a mystery thriller with lots of twists and turns. There is murder and drama, fear and secrets. The characters are a little different and complex but well developed. The story gets you right from the beginning and slowly draws you in to the web of whodunit, where everyone seems to have interesting things to say about their neighbours. It is mainly set in south Florida where the neighbours seem nice but each have their own secrets to hide and each of them may be the killer. I loved Dorothy the oldest of the neighbours she cracked me up and I really wanted to stamp on Dawn’s mother, she got my goat up but that shows that Judy did a good job in writing them.
Dawn decides it time to leave the place that has been her home for 25 years. She needs a fresh start and definitely a new boss. When she sees her aunt’s house for the first time since she was murdered she decides this is where she wants to be. Dawn meets her neighbours and quickly learns there are some secrets they don’t want to share and some of them are quick to point their fingers.
Dawn’s fears soon become reality as the murderer comes to light but an unlikely hero comes to her rescue. When things settle down Dawn is given some truths that may change her life.
I enjoyed the story which will keep most guessing right to the end. I must admit I did work out who did it but it was still interesting to see if I was right or wrong because you never know what little twists and turns an author may add.

Renegade (The Mercenaries Series Book 1) by Raven White suspense romance story that is a quick and easy read. I enjoyed this story but felt it could have been a little more rounded out in some areas. The characters are your typical alpha ex-military men, brothers in arms who will do anything for each other. I mean who doesn’t love to read about those types of men.
Eliza has always loved music, but she wakes in hospital not knowing what happened. Her brother decides he needs help to keep her safe. She is one sassy woman who doesn’t want help but is unable to make them see her point of view.
Renegade drops everything he is doing to help one of his brothers. His mission is to protect the beautiful woman someone tried to kill. But who will protect him from himself? Renegade soon gets much more than he bargained for.
If you enjoy sassy woman and military alphaness then grab a copy. It will entertain you for an afternoon escape.

Courage of Us (Code of Honor Book 1) by Brooke May is a story that you can easily get lost in. It is a military romance and it is one story with deep feelings and emotions, heartache and love, loss and pain and Brooke has written the characters in such a way that you become so immersed in them that you feel everything right along with them. It is a tale of young love that was lost and secrets that may destroy them.
Patience’s world was changing, everyone she loved went away but what hurt the most was the loss of her best friend. Nothing for seven years but heartache and loss but she is slowly rebuilding her life that is until her past comes back and she has to face it head on. Will she be able to share her most terrible secret with the one that could destroy her?
Duke could not bear to see the pain so he took off without a word and now he is coming home after years away and is determined to get back what is his. But there is one thing stopping him and he doesn’t want to share that secret with anyone who could see him less than a man. Will he take a chance and share every secret or will it be too much and lose his chance at love?
Brooke’s story is a second chance at love and about healing through the pain that life has thrown at you by being with the one you love.

Naughty & Nice (Spicetopia #4) by Phoebe Alexander is my absolute favourite of the series. This wonderfully sinful tale gives us a wedding and an unlikely couple come together. There is never any question when it comes to one of Phoebes books, I jump right in and she never disappoints. The Spicetopia world is vivid and alive and the characters are well developed and loveable.
Natalie is planning the biggest event since it opened for Cy and Jolie’s wedding. Nerves are strung tight when the officiate comes and then Cy’s parents. Natalie meets the charming Micah and is surprised when he wants to see the park. Sparks fly and he realises there is more to life than he thought. Will Cy’s parents ruin the wedding? Will Micah decide it is more than he can handle and run for the hills?
Phoebe did a great job and it is one book you don‘t want to miss out on. If you like something oh so sexy and erotic, steaming and exciting then this is a book is one you should grab and dive right in.
The Traveler: Chimera Rebellion (The Book of Eleanor 1) by Shannon Nemechek is an interesting read that keeps you on your toes wondering what is coming next. It is well written and keeps you glued to the pages. I enjoyed the characters and the worlds that Shannon has created. The story is along the same lines as Outlander, which I truly love. There is magic and witches, time travel and wars death and love.
Kate finds herself in Savannah and loving the history she has heard about, but she soon finds herself in another time and in the middle of war and face to face with her soul mate. But that is not the only thing she finds in this time, what she learns seems impossible and almost laughable, but she soon learns the truth and what her destiny is meant to be.
If you love Outlander, you will love this. I look forward to more from Shannon.

BURNING GREED: a gripping murder mystery, full of suspense (DI Tanya Miller investigates Book 2) by Diane M. Dickson is a crime mystery story-where we follow DI Tanya Miller who investigates a horrible murder along with her team. I was a definitely frustrated with a few of the characters and I wanted to give them a good shake and sometimes a little something else. I felt that some of them didn’t have the development needed to make the story stronger but that may come in other books in the series.
With mayhem and mystery, drama and intrigue, and high strung emotions and the team striving to catch a killer gives a thriller feeling. I have not read this first book in this series but didn’t feel I was missing anything. It is a game of cat and mouse and a whodunit story with a side story of DI Millers family drama, her missing niece. The story is well thought out and is an intriguing read that certainly keeps you on your toes.
DI Miller is feeling the pressure when in the middle of a murder investigation her niece goes missing. Even though she is kept in the loop with the investigation but it’s not the same as being there. Will she find her niece before it’s too late? Will they be able to piece it all together before anyone else is murdered?

Earl of Darby (Wicked Earls’ Club) (Once Upon A Widow Book 4) by Aubrey Wynne is a Christmas tale steeped in tragedy, but it is also a romance that is fun and will make you laugh at the Aunts view of the world and her charm. It is very well written and captures your heart and steal your emotions.
The Earl of Darby has lived the last five years as a rake after the horror he faced. He is also on the hunt for the one monster who caused his pain and the pain of so many others. However, he is called upon to keep an eye on his mates’ sister as he escorts her and his sweet sister to their coming out in the ton his emotions lead him in a direction he did not see coming.

Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books 1-4) by Phoebe Alexander is a one stop shop to her steamy, sexy and oh so titillating stories. The characters are great and you can feel their struggles, their love, their pain.
Sugar & Spice (Spicetopia #1) I really enjoyed this book, being a little different than her other books made me want to see what it was all about. Let’s just say I was pleasantly surprised, I shouldn’t have been because I enjoy her other books.
Cy is on orders to infiltrate the enemy, the works at his parents theme park but as time goes on he realises just who is the enemy. However when he meets the queen of Spicetopia, he can’t get her out of his mind. Will he join the fight and get the girl?
Jolie is a hard working woman who works two jobs just to scrape by. When a certain young man comes to work she can’t get him out of her head but it can never be that is until he wears her down but will he really still want her when he learns her secrets?
Virtue & Vice (Spicetopia #2) is another excellent spicy and steamy romance. I really enjoy Phoebe’s work and always get lost in her stories. Her character portrayal of Moon and Katja are spot on. The stories are so hot and steamy that will leave you in need of a cold shower. I love that the story has a background story to tell as well. What can I say really, Phoebe’s work speaks for itself?
Fire & Ice (Spicetopia #3) is suspenseful, intriguing and mysterious story that is also fun and I love the banter of the main characters. It is also sexy and steamy and a great continuation of this excellent series. This is a little different from the first two but I loved it. Phoebe has created a world where all our pleasures will come true, a world where anything goes, a world for the rich and famous set on a tropical island which really makes it a hardship to read. Not. It is a quick read but it has a lot going on which keeps you glued to the pages wanting to know who is after them.
Neve is the head security guy for the new Spicetopia and is on a press circuit with the head of media, Enya. Unfortunately she is a pain in his neck. He is a man of few words and a huge chip on his shoulder but it seems nothing can get through to him. That is until they disappear but will anyone be able to find them?
Enya loves to talk, it is her job after all but Neve is a hard nut to crack. When things go wrong and they are both in danger, suddenly she sees him in a completely different light. I fell in love with Neve and Enya’s and their thoughts and way with each other had me laughing, they are truly delightful.
Naughty & Nice (Spicetopia #4) is my absolute favourite of the series but I will not reveal any of its secrets because I will leave a full review under its own book, because I have just finished this wonderful tale. Suffice it to say Phoebe did a great job and it is one book you don‘t want to miss out on.
If you like something oh so sexy and erotic, steaming and exciting then this is a bookset you should grab and dive right in. A great read to get lost in to unwind.

Forbidden Love: Written by Lisa Jones Gentry: As Told by Their Son Joe Steele is a romance story that tells of two people who gave their vows to God but found love with each other in the process. The story is told in the son’s POV and is a tale of love and hate, a tale of people from completely different backgrounds and ethnicity and a son who struggled in the world. It is an emotional read as everyone struggles with the lives, they find themselves in. The book shows that love does not discriminate between anyone when you find it. It shows that no matter what, it does prevail and then sometimes it doesn’t. Love is not meant to hurt and if you are a religious person you will probably shun these people for something that everyone deserves no matter who they are.
It is an interesting and unique read and I recommend you give it ago.

Winds of Fear: A gripping psychological thriller (Fearless Series) by Gledé Browne Kabongo and as the title states it is certainly a thrilling read. I have not read anything by this author before and I must say I am impressed with her work. This story is enthralling and intriguing. It is full of suspense and definitely leaves you with goose bumps, your heart pounding and sitting on the edge of your seat.
When the new neighbours visit, one thing Abbie Rambally is certain of is that something is not as it should be, call it mother’s intuition Their interest in her eldest son is not normal. When things don’t add up and their sitters go missing and their son is kidnapped all the pieces start to fall in place. Will they ever find them in time to get their son back?
This thrilling journey is a must read and I look forward to going back to the beginning, but I also look forward to more from Glede.

A Song to Remember: A Crescent City Wolf Pack Novella (Mystifying Music Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen is another great job in the series and maybe my favourite so far. It is a sweet romance story with magic and shifters, witches and other things that normally go bump in the night. I fell in love with Bekah and Shane and the world that Carrie has created for us.
Shane wants to quit the band but his bandmates have other things in mind. Running to what he thinks is a call for help turns into something much more sinister. The only thing he can remember is a name, a name he know somewhere deep inside. What happens when the magic turns bad?
Bekah thought she met the man of her dreams but it seems he is just like everyone else. That is until he turns up many miles away from where they first met and right at her doorstep. She suddenly realises that something bad has happened to him and she sets out to help him in any way she can.

Hula Girl by Lara is a wonderful story and set in one of the world’s most beautiful locations, Hawaii. Throw in a hot and sexy surfer, a sexy and sassy girl on vacation and you are in for one great ride. This story is addicting and I fell in love with the characters and it was a pleasure to read their story. Well done Lara will this very emotive and well written characters. I loved this so much I read it in one sitting!
Ava finds herself at odds when she is forced to take a vacation from her highly stressful job. She doesn’t know how to do nothing, unwind and enjoy herself. When she narrowly misses a disaster due to a wandering chicken, little does she know her life is about to change and for the better if only she would take a chance. Now the vacation is over and was it just a dream?
Ford is more than he first seems and he is thankful for a chicken that changed his world not that he was looking for anything other than a vacation fling. Unfortunately that is all it can be because his life is complicated and his time has run out. Forced to attend a gala he once again finds himself face to face with his Hula girl and whilst trying to prove a point makes a mess of things. Now if she would only give him time to explain exactly how he is going to fix things.
This is a sweet and sexy love story that you are cheering for the best outcome for them. I loved the setting as I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and will get the chance on my next holiday.
Summer Break: A Joe Football Novella by Autumn Sand is a college romance story and a nice extension of the first book in the series of Joe Football. It is a quick and easy read that tells the tale of the friendships of those in the first book. I would suggest that you read Joe Football first so you get to know the characters and who they are. Autumn has done a great job on this one, even though it is full of the normal YA stressors and the underlying theme of being able to communicate with those you love. I love the characters, some are very mature whilst others are stilling trying to deal with life as it is thrown at them.
Secrets threaten to tear the friends apart and sometimes love it just not enough.
If you loved Joe Football you will love this Autumn does not let you down.

Misplaced: Joined: Book Two by Mara Gan is a fantasy romance and a great read. It is well written and is unique in its telling and the rich and vivid world that Mara has created. The plot is well done and there are twists that you don’t see coming. It is full of mystery and intrigue, lots of action and drama, adventure and suspense and evil but hope around every corner. I loved the first book in the series and was not disappointed with this one either. I found myself losing sleep because I was unable to put it down, I just had to know what was around the next corner. The characters are written beautifully and are well crafted and oh so endearing, so much so that I found myself laughing out loud on many occasions at the banter and their actions.
Meda awakes not know how she got where she is, where she is and even if that is her name. She finds herself alone and having to carve out a life for herself in her strange surroundings. Managing to keep herself alive, barely, she sets out to help those in need without a second thought to her own safety. She is a true pleasure to read about and her antics. Will she ever remember the life she had before?
Kyros is more than he seems, he has many names. He lives a privileged life but one that is not truly his own. He is a Mercenary and a finder of treasures but finding those treasures are not as easy as it seems. He is grumpy all the time until he finds himself drawn to a selfless, caring and wonderfully strange beautiful woman tied to a pole but that is the least of her problems it seems she finds herself in all sorts of trouble and he finds himself at her rescue more often than not.
Overall, this is a great read and I am anxiously awaiting to see what happens to Meda and Persius.

Hidden Obsession (An Alliance Agency Novel Book 2) by Maddie Wade & India Kells, these girls, they just amaze me with their story telling. I loved this book. Although to be fair I think I say that about all their books, but I do mean it each and every time. The action starts from the very first pages and keeps up all the way to the end and let me tell you, you do not see what is coming. This book is full of men and women who are determined and will stop at nothing to keep those they love safe.
Cleo has a stalker, but is it someone from her past or is it someone else? She has tried so hard to keep her past hidden but now it seems its ugly head is being reared again to threaten her very existence and her sanity.
Mason has always had a thing for the violet haired beauty, and he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Now he just has to convince her that she needs him. What he doesn’t expect is the realisation of just who is after his girl and just how far they will go to get what they want.
I wait with bated breath for the next book in this series!
The Hazed Series (Books 1-3) by Brittany Tarkington is a college romance with a bad boy. There are three books in one and each one is very emotive. With lots of secrets and lies, pain and suffering, broken hearts and hate, love and understanding. Brittany has done a great job in the world she has created and the characters draw you to them. There is the normal YA angst but with these two characters it goes way deeper. They each have their own demons to struggle with. The first two books are told in the female POV and the third book is told in the male POV.
Taylor has never been allowed to be a normal teenager girl. Her home life has been under the rule of a “preacher”, her father. Now she is in college and out of home she vows that no one will rule her with an iron thumb ever again. When she finds a job there is one person who could threaten her sanity and her heart. All she wants is for him to let her in but sometimes love is just not enough.
Hayze is one person all the girls want, but he is one and done. He has secrets that he won’t share, he draws you in and throws you away, but that doesn’t stop him from getting what he wants. When he sets his eyes on the new girl, his entire outlook on life changes. If only he could give up his ways but he won’t give up the one thing that makes him sane but drives him mad. As much as he realises he is no good for her, he can’t keep away, she is his obsession.
I really enjoyed this series as it wasn’t your normal YA romance college story. I just wanted to wrap Hayze up and sort him out. He wasn’t a bad guy he just has so much baggage to sort through. If you like college romance stories then you will love this one.

IRRESISTIBLE AT CHRISTMAS (Irresistible Romance Book 2) an Anthology is full of some of the great writers I have read before but I have also found myself some newbies as I was so impressed with their stories. Each story is different but each one evolves around Christmas. Some are sweet, some are fun and some are funny and some pull at your emotions and make you cry but they all involve romance in various degrees. This is a wonderful collaboration of works coming together to give us a most pleasurable read.
Two Hearts’ Christmas Gift by Tamara Ferguson is just great. I love her wounded warrior series and spin offs etc. Great read. A story of waiting for the right time for love to reconnect with the love of your life and settle in to the love and life you have wanted since a first kiss in a magical place. Gifts Of Love by Natalie Ann is a lovely story of a man who has everything but someone by his side. Can he show her that he is more than his money? Will she get over her past hurt to let him in?
Charlie Saint by Suzanne Jenkins is a story about a man who almost loses his life and the woman who chooses to stick around but she needs to let go of a painful past in order to truly open her heart. Beautiful story.
Home For Christmas by Cynthia Cooke is a lovely but painful read where Melanie returns to Pineville to renovate her old home and face old memories. If only the contractor was not the one person she has believed responsible for turning her world upside down.
Keep Me Warm by Alicia Street tells the heart-warming story of a small-town girl who suddenly finds herself in love with the enemies. Can they really be in love? Will they truly turn it around to become the one/
Miss Christmas by Stephanie Queen is a fun story of Scarlet who scraps by on the best days and decides she wants to become the next Miss Christmas pageant. When a stranger walks into her life she can’t believe her luck but is she willing to give him all her heart. He decides that she is not the one for him, no matter what his heart says. Will he let go and realise just how good they can be together?
Christmas Con by Rachelle Ayala, tells the sad story of two people who have just met but become a lie to keep a grandfather happy for what will be his last Christmas. Bring the tissues.
Courage To Celebrate by Taylor Lee this is also a sad tale but also one of something precious out of so much torment. Luke and Ava are dealing with the loss of several people in their community and now their hope and dreams has decided to come about a little earlier than they thought.
Christmas Wish by Patrice Wilton is a wonderful story of a man who loves them and leaves them and apparently has foot and mouth disease when he is in the same place as Meghan the new woman in town. Meghan has just moved towns to be closer to the special school her young son needs but when faced with the man upstairs she begins to wonder if she needs some her time and whether or not it could be more. But she can’t be a one night stand and is he willing to have more? This one made me laugh as well.
I love reading anthologies because you get a number of books in one shot and who doesn’t love stories about love, hot men and adorable women and Christmas!!
Not a Good Death: Agents of Dart Series Book Two (Romantic Suspense) by Naomi Bellina is a story full of danger and mayhem, mystery and murder and thrills. I loved the MC’s and their journey as they get pulled into a mission that doesn’t go to plan. I have not read anything from Naomi before and I enjoyed it so much I am going back to get my hands on the first book. Whilst I didn’t read the first book I enjoyed this one but I kept wondering what came before throughout the story.
DART Agents Lily Brume and Dillion Hurst are not only lovers but they are also now on their first official mission together. Whilst Lily has been in the job for a few years, Dillion has only recently joined having served in the military. What is supposed to be a simple retrieval turns in to something more sinister. Can they continue to be partners in life and work and make it work or will the stress pull them a part?
This captivating and enthralling read makes me eager for what is to come.
