Evan (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 2) by Toni Denise – Review by Jules Herbert

Evan: A Steamy Billionaire Workplace Contemporary Romance (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 2)Evan: A Steamy Billionaire Workplace Contemporary Romance by Toni Denise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is such a great read and continuation for this series. If you haven’t read the previous book don’t worry you can 100% read this as a stand alone and thoroughly enjoy it but I still recommend reading them all to further enhance your enjoyment.
Kayla and Evan are friends and business partners who are both very attracted to each other but fear taking it further in case it doesn’t work out and they ruin the wonderful friendship they have built. Reading how they navigate through those feelings all while dealing with some very difficult times ( I don’t want to give anything away so I won’t say anything about that) made for a truly wonderful read. This author is truly talented and I can’t wait to read more not only from this series but also from this author.

I have to say I was completely captivated by this creatively written book from the very start! I just couldn’t put it down even when I read the very last word I still didn’t want to put it down, I just didn’t want it to end. Filled with so many wonderful characters, creative storyline twists, very interesting Gaelic Mythology plus just enough steamy moments to keep readers hooked this truly is a book you don’t want to miss! I wasn’t only captivated by the main characters Rowan and Alyssa but by all the others as well. I became so invested in everyone that I now need to know more about them all. I can’t wait not only to read more of this series but also from this very talented author. I now only need to see her name and I will grab the book because I just know it will be amazing!

This AMAZING author did it to me AGAIN!! She had me completely hooked right from the first word which meant a 2am bedtime for me yet again!! LOL Sleep is overrated right? I won’t complain even for a single second over lost sleep when it means I get to read more and more of these truly AMAZING and totally captivating 5 star books filled with fantastic characters ( some you will love and some you will hate with a passion lol), creative storylines and just enough steam to keep things even more interesting page after page. If I could give it more than 5 stars I absolutely would!
My heart always becomes so invested in these well crafted characters and the paths their lives take them on so it was absolutely no surprise that I was so invested in the story of Storyteller and Sheri. Two very different people brought together by a small common interest under terrifying circumstances. It’s was absolutely brilliant!!!

Hot For Me (Balefire, #4)Hot For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so totally hooked on this fantastic book right from the start that I literally couldn’t put it down so I stayed up until 2am to finish it! LOL
Adam Tron and Cristy Valor are fantastic characters full of heart and plenty of Sass. In fact I loved all the characters in this book even the ones who annoyed me! Adam and Cristys connection is immediate and full of steam. Both are shocked with how much they feel for each other and they both in their own way need to come to terms with that. Add in the extra pressures of celebrity and it makes for a very entertaining read.
Once again I have found a fantastic, very talented author part way through a series so I will definitely be finding all the rest of the books in the series and reading them ASAP!! See I told you I am totally hooked and can’t wait for more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first Mystery I have read in a long time and OMG I am so glad I did! I was totally hooked from the very first sentence right to the very last word. This is a totally captivating read filled with interesting characters and a fantastic storyline that will keep you hooked and on the edge of your seat the whole way. Elizabeth and Lila are such strong determined women who will let nothing stop them from getting to the truth! You will be on their side every step of the way. I found myself wanting to know more about some of the other characters as well, Rafe and Kyle for example, so I will definitely be finding the rest of the books in this series. This is the 3rd book of this series and I do think that it can be read as a standalone because I totally enjoyed it and followed along with no issue even though I had not read the previous books. I will however be going back and reading the previous books because of how much I truly enjoyed this one. This amazingly talented author definitely has a new fan in me! I just can’t wait to read more!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This fantastic book definitely had me turning page after page as quickly as I could in order to see what was going to happen next. It is filled with plenty of twists and turns to keep you fully captivated in the storyline and is so well written by this very talented author that nothing is predictable. This is the first in this particular series and if this in any indication of what is yet to come well I say bring it on!! The wonderful characters all through the book pull you further into this story and have you not so patiently waiting to know even more about them and their action filled lives. This new series is a spin off from another series by this very talented author and I believe some of the characters featured here are in those books so I will definitely be checking those out now. Having said that though, my reading experience for this book was in on way hindered by the fact I had not read the other series. I have a new author to add to my must read list and that makes me a very happy girl!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fun YA historical romance! Getting to marry a prince even by an arranged marriage would probably make most girls very happy but not Rhiannon. For her it is a big fat no thanks but at the same time she knows she really has no choice. She has to handle marriage to someone she doesn’t know anything about and try and save her village. It definitely makes for some interesting times.
Having not read anything from this author before I was looking forward to seeing what she had in store for us. I was totally entertained thanks to the great characters and imagery created by this wonderful author and I can’t wait to read more from her.

Throwing the Curve (Playing for Keeps Book 2) by Lauren Fraser – Review by Jules Herbert

Throwing the CurveThrowing the Curve by Lauren Fraser
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Filled with wonderful characters, plenty of heart and some steamy moments this is a book you don’t want to miss. It is the second book in this particular series and can be read on its own and enjoyed but why do that when you could read more from this talented, creative author.
Peyton and Ryan really do not like each other when they first meet but they are then forced into faking a relationship that all too soon starts to feel very real. Neither of them actually wants a relationship which is why it is so much fun seeing them totally fall for each other. No path to true love runs smooth of course and the storyline created in this book is such fun to explore. Some of the side characters really had me wanting to kick their butt! I can’t wait for the next book in this fantastic series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Max has never forgotten the mystery woman he had one very hot moment in time with, his Princess, so when she suddenly walks back into his life with some very surprising news he knows this is his chance to see if they can have something real! Marley and Max are wonderful characters with loads of heart and love to give if only they can work out who keeps trying to hurt the family they are trying to create.
I loved returning to Quimby Grove and getting to read more about Max. Having read the first book in this fantastic series I knew Max and having liked him a lot in that book I was really looking forward to his story. Don’t get me wrong you can read this wonderful book without having read the first book in the series and still completely enjoy it but honestly do yourself a favour and read the first one as well.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A simple way to describe this book would be to say that the wonderful story woven by this extremely talented author will remind you of the power of redemption. I have said it before about this amazing author and I will say it again, her talent for creating such vivid images in your mind, leaving you feeling as if you really are in the time and place she has created, is truly captivating. The details contained within the story are so amazing and add so much to the reading experience. This is the second book in this particular series and can be read as a standalone but honestly do yourself a favour and read book 1 as well. You won’t regret a single moment spent reading any book this talented author writes.

What a fun read!!! This very talented author created a great storyline with such lovable characters that you just wanted to keep reading from the very first word. I am not much of a reality tv watcher myself but I loved reading this authors take on this type of show. She created such vividly described surroundings and events that you really left like you could see everyone and everything as it was happening. I loved the characters Finn and Abi right from the very start even if Finn was at times giving me as much whiplash as he was giving Abi! More than a few times I wanted to yell at them to just damn well talk to each other LOL. They totally captivated my heart! Even the side line characters had me wanting to know more about them. I am looking forward to more not only from this series but from this wonderful author in general.

Falling HomeFalling Home by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book so much. I fell for the main characters Ginny and Max pretty much straight away but I must admit Max wormed his way into my heart first. The story starts out with Ginny returning home to care for her Dad when he needs to have hip surgery but she isn’t looking forward to it because her ex husband is there. It is a visit that she knows will come filled with so many memories. She is also really uneasy when she first gets home to find out that her dad still has a lot to do with Max. Meanwhile her pending visit has thrown Max for a loop as well. As soon as you meet him it’s obvious that in his heart he is still in love with Ginny. I truly couldn’t put this book down because I just had to keep reading to find out what would happen. The book is wonderfully written by a creative author who now definitely has a fan in me.

When I read the first book in this series I hadn’t read a fantasy book for quite some time and it was an absolutely fantastic way to get back into the genre. I am just as impressed with this second book as I was with the first. The author created such unique characters for this series and coupled that with a really creative storyline that you simply want to keep reading no matter what! I was hooked from start to finish yet again. I highly recommend however, starting from book one as this book continues the storyline and without having read the 1st I would have been lost. It is fast paced with so much happening that it totally captivates you all the way through and you simply won’t regret even a second spent reading it!!
