Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance by Jae Dawson is part of the A Hartwood Holiday Romance series. This series can be read in any order because each is its own story. This book is set during the Christmas season featuring physical therapist Holly and former Olympian Blake. The two seem to be a natural match. I like the character Holly because though she is dealing with a loss she has a great sense of humor. Blake is competitive and had his own losses which allow the two of them to find common ground. I have enjoyed this series and this book. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

This was a cute story and had some good moments. I think what I had difficulty with was I could not connect with Chloe and her mindset throughout the story. I also feel like there was a lot going on at times and there were some details that weren’t essential and did not add to the plot. I also kept wondering if something was wrong about Chris. I was glad the situation in the end made it clear why the premonition thing was important and tied that loose end for me. It was overall a nice story and I enjoyed it. I would read more by the author.

I really have loved following this series from Naomi Valkyrie and was super excited to see we would be getting another one with a F/F centered romance spin. I have really appreciated the way she tackles writing her romances and the same sex ones at that with a classy and intriguing way that keeps me coming back time and again for more. I was super ready to see what we would get with A Cold Day In Hell, and it did not disappoint! Hadassah is a character that you cannot help but fall in love with and want to cheer on throughout the novel. I was even more here for Jezebel. I think you will want to read these novels in the order that the author has written them for you to fully enjoy them. As I have read these I have really grown to love each of these characters and realize this is a family that Valkyrie is creating and introducing us to little by little. I cannot wait to see what we will get next from her!

I absolutely loved reading this story. Reading about the tigers and lions pulled at my heartstrings. I was rooting for Sheldon and Simone from the very get go. They had amazing chemistry and played off each other fairly well. Seeing Simone slowly open up to Sheldon and watching them grow closer made me happy. Although reading the descriptions of his miniatures he made, definitely had me giggling and giving me ideas for my own personal life. The storytelling was magnificent and wasn’t solely focused on just the steamy scenes

Naomi Valkyire has done it again with this adorable story. I absolutely loved learning about Jezebel and Mikael’s sister this time and reading about the adventures they went on. At first I didn’t like Hassabel. Her “holier than thou” attitude rubbed me the wrong way. But seeing her grow out of it was a sigh of relief. Learning about Jezebel made my heart cry. She had been through so much. Also seeing her overcome her trials had me whooping and yelling to cheer her on. I can’t wait to see what Naomi does next!

Laurencia Hoffman writes gritty stories that really touch the heart and soul. Wren is an empath. Had a horrible childhood and his mother committed suicide when Wren turned 18. Wren’s mother was also empathic but was convinced by his father that it was a mental condition. When Wren’s mother commits suicide, he walks away from his father. Wren falls in love with an amazing man, Henry, but their marriage is overshadowed by the visions he starts having. Wren knows Henry is going to die, be murdered, but when? Henry refuses to listen and they start to grow apart. The police believe Wren committed the murder and he continues to have visions. Can he figure out what the visions mean before it is too late? Laurencia writes about things that aren’t always mainstream or that are misunderstood. Being empathic and feeling everyone else’s feelings can be overwhelming and confusing.

This was an incredible story for me. I have just come out with my own sexuality in the last few years. Reading about Shane and his struggle of being gay and his family not so supportive of that hit some heart strings for me. Shane has been through a lot. The first boy he dated, Jake, disappeared. Then he met and fell in love with Callan. When Callan walked away, Shane was heartbroken. Callan reappears and Shane has to make some choices. He still loves Callan, but can they date, and Shane still be able to hide the secrets from his past? I related to the characters in this book and felt like I got to know them all personally. Thank you Laurencia for a heartstring pulling story. I loved it!

This is a very engrossing psychological thriller. Janey, in search of her long-lost sister, gets tangled up in the web of the Johnsons, the last family her sister worked for before disappearing. As she does her own investigative work to follow the threads to her sister, she becomes more tangled and enmeshed in the danger. This story definitely sends your mind reeling, casting about for answers as clues are steadily delivered. Janey’s childhood memories come sifting in through the present, adding colour and depth to what is really going on here. This is very well-written, and the pace of the plot was great and kept tensions high without going overboard. The characters were nuanced and their personalities diverse. Couldn’t put it down until I had read the final page.

I really enjoyed this story. It is an interesting concept about a microchip being able to change our lives for the better or the worst.
Gigi, Lilly and Ellen all went to Dr Kite for help. Gigi needed help with a medical condition, Ellen wanted help losing weight and Lilly needed help staying young and overcoming her divorce. Dr Kite helped all 3 women, however Dr Kite isn’t a real doctor and what none of them realise is the consequences of the chips. Sometimes getting what you want in life isn’t worth consequences.

I honestly have to say I don’t know were to start with this book, and I really don’t think that what I write is going to capture the amazing story. A tale of Celtic fantasy of gods that were finally finding each other in a tale of two lovers torn apart for century’s, finding their love and who they are was such a chilling, loving experience to read. The words and story just fell tighter so amazing that it made you feel like you were there. The twist about what these Celtic Irish gods had gone thou is an amazing twist to everything that is to be said about them. This amazing action Irish music-filled, myth, urban fantasy, of magic with a Celtic twist was so amazingly put together, that I just couldn’t put it down.

Snowflakes and Holly: A Small Town Christmas Romance by Jae Dawson is a Hartwood Holiday Romance. I think this one has to be my favourite of the series so far. I thought this book was so entertaining, the characters really had me laughing. But at the same time the author has managed to create a depth to them with real emotion behind them. You become invested in their journey, especially because of their histories. This has been a brilliant series so far and with each book it just seems to get better. I love how easy this authors writing style comes across. The story just seems to flow. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.
I fell in love with this book after a few pages. Jody has some major insecurities, mostly from her lack of keeping a job long term and her family’s view of her being a screw up. When she finds out her grandmother has fallen and hurt herself she soon realizes that she will be the one to go to Clover Bay to help out at her grandmother’s bakery. Jody is not feeling very optimistic and she’s afraid she will screw it up. Adam is the one who called and told Jody and her sister Hannah about their grandmother, he was expecting Hanmah not Jody who looks to him like a high maintenance city girl. Adam has been hurt in the past by an outsider so he chooses to stick to interacting with the locals. I really enjoyed watching both of these characters grow throughout the story. They both tell themselves not to get close to each other but both find themselves enjoying spending time together while Adam helps teach Jody a few things. Will Jody find her niche working in the bakery? What will happen between these two? This is a must read to find out. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

I love, love, loved this book! I really wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was but gosh was I surprised. I couldn’t put it down. I am a self-proclaimed “coupon queen” so this just made me laugh so much even though it’s a mystery. I have never read a book by this author before but apparently this is the second book in this series, so I am going to go back and read the previous book. Not that it is necessary to understand this book. It’s not. I just want to read it for the story. I found that the characters, especially the main character, are so relatable. I could envision so many of my friends and even some family members in their places. I highly recommend picking this book up to read. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
I wasn’t sure if I would like this book because pony play isn’t something I know much about or are super interested in, but I was intrigued by the blurb. I am so glad I chose to read this!
Bailey is painfully shy, awkward, and inexperienced. Sam is pretty much the opposite of this. Sam purchased the local adult video and toy store and is in the process of updating it and trying to make it successful. Bailey comes in regularly to look at the one thing he wants to buy, but is saving up for, and Sam is intrigued.
I absolutely adore Bailey. He was so shy and awkward, and my heart hurt for him. I wanted to take him home, feed him a decent meal, and just cuddle him like a puppy. Sam may be his opposite, but that is exactly what Bailey needs and I loved watching their relationship grow. I was sad we didn’t get to see more of their relationship before the end of the book and I hope the author continues the series so we can see glimpses of them, and find out what happens between the other characters!

I am a person who loves Christmas galore. I literally am the person who will sing Christmas songs while cleaning the kitchen and dress an elf to deliver presents. I wasn’t always like that though. I strayed from the idea of feeling happy as hard times I have been though. Then I met the love of my life. So when I read the plot story line for this amazing book, I knew I didn’t have to just read it, I knew I was attracted to it in sense of maybe finding a bit of who I am inside the pages?
This book is around Christmas time and you have two characters that could not be any more alike. Or were they? Holy was like who I used to be. Closed off from the feeling the festivities of Christmas gave off. She was a a modern ice queen. That said she had endured devastation that truly impacted her. But deep down that heart of hers was loving and warm, and had a passion for helping people. And would never let anyone fail on her part. Overall tough she had trust issues I found quickly that she was a commendable and likable character.
Blake, he was snowboard winner in the past for the Olympics. Unfortunately a medical issues arises and he loses one his very legs. This just doesn’t depress him…it really kills his self worth he feels for himself and brings a dark cloud over him like probably a lot of us never had. Imagine the thing you loved doing most and being told you can never do that again? That your life was forever changed and no matter how you looked at it or tried, there was no going back?
On both the ends of Holly and Blake I felt for both in different ways. Not just sadness, but a urge in my heart that felt quite devastated and they needed help in their lives. Or did the doctor just write a prescription for a Christmas miracle?
When they meet and their lives collide. Maybe love and fate had the upper hand at play here? There was instant chemistry, though, neither of them wanted to accept or even consider it at the first meet. They both came from painful walks of life and had reasons not to open up to one another, but when you find a connection such as that would you pass it up?
Reading on I learned more in depth of how they were and how they got to be where they are in life. As well as myself, the two characters seemed to form a bond that was deniable. And most certainly did not give them an icy chill, but more of a warm fire on a cold winter day. They were opposites perhaps at first but maybe the whole thought of peanut butter goes with jelly is true? Different in aspects of life, but when put together, its the perfect combination!
I loved this book more than words. It made me smile a lot as well as laugh at times. The author wrote a very wonderful and happy story. I was convinced, and fell in love. At the end I was able to finish reading and smile knowing I got to visit a wonderful time of Christmas and live through the shoes of others lives that started off on a bad foot, but ended up with a blissful happy feeling. Exactly what I always seem to read when I experience anything associated to Christmas 🙂
This author always is amazing. I have one of their other works, and it was just as good and amazing. I look forward to more books in the future from this author. For they truly play the right song on my heart strings with their writing, their characters, and the feelings their books bring 🙂
I was enticed by the marine veteran meets librarian storyline and stayed for the sensitive way the author handled Nash’s PTSD and his return home. Appreciated the concept of communication, talking to each other before getting too deep in the relationship. Both main characters were well developed, and I’m a sucker for any setting that includes a library! Looking forward to reading more Bobbin Sister stories, we’ve only met two so far.. could there even be a Marine buddy spinoff!? I will stayed tuned for more stories from Debra Parmley.

Pet Me was a book that I was instantly intrigued by, after reading the synopsis I knew I wanted to give it a go and I’m so glad I did. This isn’t my normal go to read but I’m happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone.
This story was well written with beautifully dynamic characters and great world building. I loved all of the detail as it made it easy to picture everything playing out in my mind and truly feeling all of the anxious emotions through the pages. This was truly a great experience to read from beginning until end!
I look forward to reading more from this author and would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next M/M read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this fantasy novel filled with magic, myth, romance and Irish music with a Celtic twist. It’s an original story which held me gripped from start to finish. Failed barista Saoirse and reclusive blacksmith Smithy hear the call of the Irish Gods but can they avoid their fate. Saoirse is happy playing traditional music once a week in a local Dublin pub until her father dies and an unknown grandmother appears upending her life. Music is also Smithy’s love and the one joy that he has left that he feels has a residue of his lost magic to it. Smithy lives in rural Cork working in his forge trying to resist the requests of the Tuatha De Danann who want him to join them in their battle. The battle is against a powerful God who is threatening to destroy the land of Eire. As the Gods conspire and fate intervenes Saoirse and Smithy are bought together as the Gods awaken to answer the call to defend the land even if it means risking death. This “music-filled romantic urban fantasy with a Celtic twist” is a great mix of Irish myth and folklore, music, romance and suspense and I was happily turning the pages well into the night. The author really brings the setting to life making me feel immersed in the storyline and I loved the characters especially Saoirse and Smithy. I found the notes at the end of the book on where the Irish myths and legends had come from fascinating and how to pronounce certain Irish words very helpful. I look forward to reading future books in this series.

Bad Man on Campus (Big Men on Campus Book 3) by Stephanie Queen 4 Stars
This is more of a second chance to redemption story. Three years ago a tragedy occurred which separated Glory Rose and Kace. He went off to university and Glory got stuck in their hometown. His dad’s second marriage brought him back to town. Gaining courage, she meets with him and , to her utter delight, he’s happy to see her. She lets him know that she’ll be attending his university and he’s pleased that they’ll be together. Life isn’t exactly what they expected and university is fraught with difficulties. Life isn’t easy with one thing happening after another. Are they meant to be together or are the hurdles too high to overcome?
The story was interesting and well written. The characters were real and relatable. I was frustrated with Glory Rose. After everything that had happened, she was still making stupid decisions. I was so happy when she finally started to see the light. I enjoyed the story even if there was a little too much drama.

This was a fabulous book. Onto book two. Salvatore Descallia is the Overlord of 12 Master Vampire secs worldwide. The vampires are trying to keep the eyes of the police off them as women are going missing. They need to figure out who is abducting these women and why. Lucianna is an undercover detective who is to start working at Master and Overloads casino bar to gain information and crack the case. Lucianna has special powers for a human and can see visions of past, present and future. When she and Salvatore meet for the first time, sparks fly. They are pulled to each other. Can the two of them work together on this abhorrent mystery? I could not put this book down. I didn’t want it to end.

This story only comes up short in length. I wish there was more. My heart was in it the whole time. Poppy is your average nerdy girl who lives next to Turner, the sexy next door neighbor. In the short time it took me to read this book, I couldn’t put it down. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants a quick taste of attraction, lust, and nerdy romance. This would be a book I’d keep on my shelf for whenever I need a quick pick me up.

This book GRIPPED ME right away. It wasn’t something I wanted to put down. It is an action packed fantasy that doesn’t stop. We follow our ruthless woman protagonist and she means business.
Alena and her team of assembled characters including a dwarf and an elf are all in for this adventure. From start to finish I needed to know what was happening and it was truly a wonderful adventure! I CANNOT wait for the next!!!

Obsessed! I am really into MM romance right now and this book definitely filled my needs for a sweet romance. Bailey is so cute, anyone would be lucky to have him, and Sam is the sweetest for being as patient as he is with him. He is just so romantic and swoon worthy. Even though there is an age gap, both of them feel like the other would have someone better than themselves or will find someone better. All of their interactions are sweet, sexy and I can’t get enough. Following along with the other guys Sam employs at the Pleasure Palace as well as some stragglers that always seem to hang around is a fun ride. I really hope to see more books in this series, I would love to see how Sam and Bailey are doing now and of course how Ry and Cade are making out, or Dominic and Zander. I look forward to more from this author!

Dark Bastard is a Dark Sparrow Novel by India Kells. India is one of those authors that is a must grab her book as soon as it appears. It is a fantastic series and Dark Bastard is another wonderful book in this series. You have to read the books in order, so you get the full background and understanding of just who these alpha men are. Trust me you will fall in love with them. India’s stories are compelling and enthralling due to her carefully woven threads that are full of fear, frustration, and angst which is palpable. Dark Bastard is another action packed read with you on the edge of the seat whilst we journey along with the men that India puts through their paces and we right along with them.

Bittersweep by Wareeze Woodson is a well written book that keeps you interested from the first page through to the last. This is a pretty new author to me still and yet already I am starting to get a feel for how she likes to write. Her books are descriptive and developed well while the characters all have a depth to them. I loved the characters in this book. They got so well with the story and just seemed to bring it to life. I liked how it felt like this book was focused on the story and what was happening, so you could really get invested. This is an author I am pleased to have discovered and I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
I really enjoyed this story. Its a really quick read but full of spice and passion. Even though it a short story you get a complete story so nothing is missing. The author does an amazing job with her character. It’s a relatable situation of the hot guy who ever woman wants and the geeky girl who thinks no one would want her.
The feelings from Poppy are so raw. You can really feel her fear and anxiety about her feelings for Turner and how she is going to progress with them in this state of constant anxiety. Turner is totally in love and wants to do everything in his power to prove to Poppy she is everything he wants. All she has to do is trust and let him. However that isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Pet Me is the first book in The Toye Shoppe series by Angelique Jurd. This is my first read from Ms. Jurd, so I really didn’t know what to expect going in. I have found that most of my reads lately have been a bit on the intense and dark side- so, seeing this pop up on my recommended book list, I thought it looked like it might lighten things up and be a fun read- so I snapped up a copy and dove in. This is a sweet, contemporary MM romance, with an age gap, kink, pony play, toys (of the adult kind), and beautifully quirky characters. If you love sweet stories, MM romance, and a bit of kink- then this is definitely the book for you!

This book was a fun read. I enjoyed Holly’s humor and the banter between the characters. How they met wasn’t exactly the smoothest of introductions, but it put them in one another’s path. After learning their backstories you can’t help but feel for them. They both have had tragedies happen in their past that they are trying to put behind them, but that’s a lot easier said than done. I felt like this was a great fit in the series, a bit different than the first two books, but still great. I don’t usually like the dual POV as it seems unnecessary, but the author made it flow seamlessly. I can’t wait to dig into book four.
