Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance (Fall Lake Ballers Book 1)Quarterback Keeper: A College Sports Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Quarterback Keeper is the first book in the Fall Lake Ballers series by Isla Vaughn. I was excited when this book came out as I have previously really enjoyed the Hidden Valley Elite series. This was a really enjoyable book and I am pleased I was all contained in the one volume rather than splitting it into two books. This books follows Gia, who is a young woman on the run from an abusive relationship, and Kylian, an aspiring Quarterback who is surprised to find Gia hiding on his private yacht. This book was really fast paced with lots of drama and a few twists. I despised Kylian’s father which is always the sign of a good read. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

Betrayal (Choosing Family Book 3)Betrayal by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Betrayal is the third book in the Choosing Family series by Jennifer Raines. This is the first book in the series that I have read and, although I liked it, I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the previous books in the series. The story follows marketing executive Anna, who is trying to develop her company’s day care initiative, and Hunter, the architect/business mogul who is seemingly in the way of Anna achieving it. When Anna and Hunter meet by chance at an event, Anna is initially hesitant to give in the Hunters advances, but as she gets to know him, and discovers the truth about his intentions she begins to fall for him. Of course, it doesn’t all go smoothly with the interference of Hunters estranged and despicable father interrupting their plans. I liked this book, I felt it took a few chapters to get into it, but I think that might be because I started the series on book three. I think I will go back and read the first two though as I enjoyed the writing style and the characters in this book.

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups #3)Night Sweats and Hockey Nets by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets is the third book in the Hot Flash Hookups series by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart. I really enjoyed this book, it was refreshing to have a main character in a romance book who seems real, Chloe is 42, perimenopausal, and not a size 2, and I loved her for it. A lot of the time main characters are not the easiest to relate too but Chloe would be my friend. When Chloe returns to live in her hometown after the death of her husband, she throws herself into her passion, starting her own junior hockey league. As her dad is the head coach of the local NHL team, hockey is in her blood. Niko, the star goalie for the team, is struggling in a custody battle with her ex wife and doesn’t want any distractions, however after a chance encounter with Chloe, he is definitely distracted, and when Chloe suddenly becomes the answer to his childcare problems he is unable to stay away from her. I thought this book was heartwarming, sexy and laugh out loud funny at points. Definitely recommend.

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago Book 2)Forbiddenly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forbiddingly Yours is the second book in the Titans of Chicago series by Anise Storm. I have read all the Titans of New York series by this author so when I saw this book I thought I would give it a go. I have not read book 1 yet (I will) but you do not need to read the other books in the series to enjoy this one. The story starts with a chance meeting between Callum and Nicole, after the brief time they spend together neither expect to see each other again. When Nicole turns up in Callum’s classroom on the first day of term, they are both surprised. They try to keep away from one another as Callum is Nicole’s professor, but they are drawn together. I really liked this book, as with the others in the series they protagonists love is not straight forward and is disrupted by outside forces, but it was a very steamy and gripping story. It moved at a good pace, and I liked the characters, looking forward to reading more about Callum’s fellow Titans in the next book.

Falling Down (ROCKSTAR)Falling Down by Anne Mercier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Falling Down is the first book in the Rockstar series by Anne Mercier. The story starts when teenage Lucy bumps into her ultimate crush rockstar Jesse in the airport, the two instantly connect but then get on their flights separately. Fast forward a few years and Lucy is a successful, if a bit unhappy, Hollywood star. When she takes on a job as a dancer for a music video she didn’t know that it would change the course of her career, and life in general. Jesse is shocked when he sees the girl from his past rocking out using his guitar and the whole band decide to take the girls under their wing. The story that follows is like a fairy tale with the heroes reaching for their dreams and finding their true loves. I liked this book, it was a nice read but the characters were not the easiest to relate to. I would recommend to romance fans.

The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance (Love Ties Us)The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance by Nicolette Terry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Music That Ties Us is part of the Love Ties Us series by Nicolette Terry, I have never read a book by this author before, but I will be keeping an eye out for more. I really enjoyed everything about this book, it got me mad which is a good thing. The story follows Cadence who finds herself in an unfulfilling relationship with a who is stifling her, when Cadence goes to a concert with her sister Jade, she does not expect to have an instant connection with the smouldering lead singer of the band. Damien is not in the market for a relationship, especially one with a woman who is already taken, he has been burned before and has learned his lesson however, he cannot deny the attraction he feels. This was a really enjoyable book, I got so mad at Elijah and the way he treated Cadence that I was practically shouting at my Kindle. I really wish this book had included him getting his comeuppance rather than seemingly being able to walk away without consequence, but hopefully, future books will revisit some of these storylines. I will definitely be reading the other books in this series.

Finding Love (Clumsy Little Hearts Trilogy Book 2)Finding Love by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finding Love is the second book in the Clumsy Little Hearts series by Julie Navickas. This is a nice romance story and was an easy read, I have not read the first book yet and this did not take away from the enjoyment of the book. The story follows Real Estate Agent Rachel, who is recently single after her boyfriend breaks up with her, and restaurant owner Miguel, who is struggling to make his vision of his new business a reality. When the two have a chance meeting at Miguel’s restaurant, the sparks fly, and the romance blossoms between them. However, there are aspects of both of their pasts that are getting in the way and might mean that they struggle to get their happy ever after. I liked this book, I found the characters to be endearing and I enjoyed the dynamic between Rachel and her siblings. This book hinted at what was going to happen in the next installment and I am looking forward to seeing how Rose’s story plays out. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy a nice romance.

Catch A Cowboy (Match Made in Montana Book 2)Catch A Cowboy by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Catch a Cowboy is the 2nd book in the Match Made in Montana series by Rachelle Paige Campbell. I am enjoying this series so far. This book follows yoga instructor/kindergarten teacher Stephanie and cowboy Ted. Stephanie has had a crush on Ted all summer but somehow loses the ability to speak when she is around him, when Ted’s niece becomes one of Stephanie’s students, she realises she will need to communicate with him to make sure that the little girl is looked after. However, the extra attention she pays her newest student doesn’t go unnoticed by a few devious parents who are determined to make Stephanie fall in line. This was a really enjoyable read. I felt for Ted, who was scared to be hurt again after a tragedy in his past and felt myself getting quite angry about the treatment Stephanie was receiving from the helicopter parents, I found that I didn’t want to put it down as I wanted to know how it ended. I am looking forward to the next installment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bad Enough is the 2nd book in the Dead Man’s Tribe series by Nicole Craig and I am really enjoying this series so far. I would recommend reading book 1 first as this story carries on directly after it. This book follows Sylvan, better known as Flame, who is a romance writer interested in learning more about the BSDM scene, when she is connected with TB she gets a bit more than she bargained for. When their online relationship is catapulted into the real world their worlds collide when the missing women that Tribe is investigating overlaps with Flames apparent stalker. Desperate to keep her safe TB needs to learn more about the woman he is determined to save, however, Flame’s past has some secrets she would rather never come to light. I really liked this story, I love the supporting characters (especially Nemo) and am looking forward to the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Whiskey Throttle is the 6th book in the Moto X series, by Brooke May. This is the first book I have read in this series and wish I had started at the beginning as I think it would have made the book more readable for me, I will go back and read the others. I have, however, read books by this author before so knew before I started that it was going to be good. This book follows Parker as he realises that the life he was living wasn’t the life that he wanted and he needs to make some serious changes in order to regain his family before they are lost forever. This book was a real page-turner as I wanted to find out what happened next. Would recommend.

The Ghostly Diva, by Sandra L. Young, is a contemporary paranormal romance with a touch of glamour. When Justine is contacted by Jackson, the son of a recently deceased local celebrity, she can’t wait to get into the star’s wardrobe to see what finds she can bring to her museum.

Trapped together due to a storm, they discover more than clothes, letters regarding Jacksons’ potential father lead them to try to uncover the mystery with a little input from the ghost of Jackson’s late mother. I quite liked this book, it was a fun story with an interesting setting. The writing painted a very descriptive picture. I would be interested in reading other books by this author.

A Song of Salt and Secrets (Mythic Academy Collection)A Song of Salt and Secrets by Amanda Marin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Song of Salt and Secrets is part of the Mythic Academy series by Amanda Marin, this is an enjoyable short read that looks at a part of the supernatural community that I don’t think I have ever read about before, sirens. The story follows Corisande, who is a senior at the mysterious Magwich Academy, a school designed to keep sirens safe from the human world. Unfortunately, even though she tried her best not to, Corisande unexpectedly allows a human to hear her siren song and although she saves him, it may not be enough to save herself. I liked this book, I read it all in one sitting and it kept me engaged throughout. I wish there was a bit more character development though as I feel that you didn’t get to really get to know them properly. I did like that it was a new take on a supernatural story and would read more in this series.

I liked this book, it was a lovely story of two adults with a shared connection. I liked how the story hinted to what was going to happen in the next books in the series. I am looking forward to reading the next one.

Touched is the first book in the Elemental Passions series, this book took me a little bit of time to get into but after the first couple of chapters I couldn’t put it down. The story follows Aeris, who is an air fae with a thirst for knowledge, when she accidentally bumps into police detective Callum while exploring the city of New Orleans, which is a shock to Aeris as she should be invisible to humans. However, there is more to Callum than either of them know. The pair are not aware that the instant spark between them start a prophecy that has implications for both the human and fae worlds. This book had a good mix of mystery, action and romance. Would recommend for fans of paranormal romance.

Basil (Silver Springs Pets, #7)Basil by K. Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Basil is a contemporary RH novel with a twist. When Bioengineer Basil wakes up and discovers that she has been turned into a vampire, she is devastated, strangely not because she is now a member of the walking dead but that she is a vegan and can’t drink blood. So she makes herself an new alternative and a new life. Moving to Silver Springs and opening her own juice bar and meeting a few hunky supernaturals along the way. I liked this book, I enjoyed how it had things in it that I had never seen in these kind of books before, it wasn’t just your standard vamps, wares and witches. I liked the characters but felt that it all seemed a bit rushed at times, I would have enjoyed more of the build up to things but it was overall still a really enjoyable read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fade into the night, is part of the Philly Heat series by Becky Flade. I have read a couple of books in this series but they can be read as a stand alone. This book is a romantic thriller following FBI agent Noah as he searches for a serial killer called the Beltway Romeo, who is targeting single women before mutilating them before staging their bodies. When his professional life overlaps into his personal life, his friend Sadie is targeted by the killer and finds herself being hurt and at risk. This is a really enjoyable thriller, the story is fast paced and I love how Sadie didn’t just sit back and become a victim of her circumstances. I would recommend this to lovers of this genre and will definitely be going back and reading the books I have missed in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Curse of the Forbidden Island by C.A. King is a delightful supernatural novella. After losing, yet another job, losing her home and having no where else to go it seems like Selene’s luck starts to change when she is offered an all inclusive position at a mysterious island resort. It seems to goo to be true, however upon arrival Selene determines that it is not all sunshine and cocktails, there is something deeply unusual about the Island and Selene is determined to find out what. I really liked the supernatural element of this book, I just wish it was longer as I wanted to know more of the details behind the curse and get to know all the characters better as each interaction was very brief (and there wasn’t much time for dialogue!). Would recommend to reverse harem fans looking for a quick read.

Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance is the third book in the Love on Tap series by Sylvie Stewart. The story starts with black sheep of the family Miller, who is a magnet for trouble, rescuing runaway bride Maisy as she does a runner from her own nuptials. The couple both have a lot of baggage but have an undeniable pull towards each other. I really enjoyed this book, it kept a good pace and had lots of different co-occurring storylines. I love Maisy’s little brother Bear, his one liners are hilarious and I just spent the whole book wanting him to be safe. I am looking forward to the final book in the series to see how the boys cope with baby sister Lynn finding love. Would recommend to lovers of a good rom-com.

Good Enough, by Nicole Craig is the first book in the Deadman’s Tribe series and it is a brilliant start to this new series, I really enjoyed it and devoured it in two days.

I really liked this book, the character of Kai is brilliant and is definitely not a damsel in distress, I have started using her colourful language in my daily life. Waters is the epitome of the hero, a brooding soul who is haunted by his past. The story was fast paced and had lots of intrigue, I am really looking forward to book two to learn more about the team.

Seraphina is the 4th book in the Heartstrings series by Brooke May. Although this is part of a series this is the first book I have read by this author and was able to read as a standalone. Seraphina is a cupid, sent by the actual Cupid to take on cases on earth and help two people find their love. When she is tasked with helping hockey player Seth, she finds herself facing a familiar challenge. She has attempted to help Seth twice before without success, but she is determined to get it right this time. She just needs to take the right approach. I liked this book; it was a fun premise and easy to read. I felt it could have been longer as it seemed that the characters personality switched really fast, but I was a fun romance story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wicked Ends is the 8th book in the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn, it is also the final book in Shane’s story and finishes up the duets of the 4 main characters in the series. I have absolutely loved this series, I have (not so) patiently waiting for each book to come out and waiting on this one was a doozy! I needed to know how that cliffhanger was going to be resolved. This book finishes off Shane and Winters story, the pair have a lot of trust to rebuild after Winters actions in the past and Shanes lies when they first reconnected and they don’t have it easy with interfering family members, crazy stalkers, and the mystery of Winter’s sisters’ death. I was sad for this series to finish but I have really enjoyed every one of these books.

Mission Target (Jake Wolfe, # 7)Mission Target by Mark Nolan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mission Target is the 7th book in the Jake Wolfe Thrillers series by Mark Nolan. I liked a lot of things about this book. Mostly being the main two characters Jake and Cody, the relationship that the author builds between the protagonist and his K-9 is really good. I also liked the storyline, although I did feel it was a bit busy at times with lots of different storylines happening at the same time, it could get a bit confusing. The story follows marine veteran/volunteer officer/lawyer Jake as he works with all aspects of law enforcement to help take down the organised crime that is flooding San Francisco with drugs. This is a very fast paced story with lots of different elements, which I am pleased all came together at the end. This is the first book I have read of this series, I would be interested in reading more.

Wicked Games is the next instalment of the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn. I have read every book of this series so far and have been eagerly anticipating Shane’s story. I feel out of the 4 main characters he is the one I know least about and have the least connection with. I was really surprised by this story; it is much darker than the previous duets and I loved it! This book follows the story of Shane and Winter. There are so many different elements of this book that I cannot wait to resolve. I do not want to give away any spoilers, but this book ends on a massive cliffhanger, and I cannot wait for the last part.

Beyond Friendship is the third book in the Irresistible series by Marlyn Love. This book follows the story of Brian, an eternal bachelor with a fondness of beautiful women and Amanda, the sister of Brian’s best friend. When the two cross paths there is an instant spark, which only seems to grow, despite Brians protestations about how the two would never work out. When the pair finally discuss their feelings, it seems like it is all going well until a series of events unfold which scares Brian into thinking that this isn’t the right path. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I really liked this book, I found Amanda to be really likable, she is a strong woman and I really liked that. Brian needed a bit of a push in the right direction but ultimately was a good guy. I would recommend this book if you like the friends to lovers genre.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cruel Love is the 6th book in the Hidden Valley Elite series by Isla Vaughn, this series just keeps getting better. This book picks up directly after the previous one so these so need to be read in order (or it will make no sense). At the end of book 5 Phoenix and Aspen were in a catastrophic car crash, while she is unconscious after being accidentally punched while pregnant, ending on a cliff hanger. This book starts in the aftermath of the accident. I do not want to give any spoilers but Phoenix is not the same man he was previously. I really enjoyed Phoenix and Aspens story, he was my favourite out of the 4 main male characters, so I am glad to finally see his sorry being told. I am really looking forward to reading Shane’s story next.
