A Book Signing To Die ForA Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Book Signing to Die For by Judy Moore is a cozy mystery set in a small beachside town in Florida. Beck, her Grandmother, and younger sister all live over the family bookstore. When a murder occurs close to the store after a book signing, Beck jumps in to try to solve the mystery. This is a very fast and enjoyable read. I really enjoy Beck because she is quick, witty, and kind, but has some insecurities from her younger days. She loves herself a good mystery and is pulled into the recent murder of a customer. Can she use what she has learned from her love of books to solve the murder?
The characters are fun and work well together to drive the story along. What a beautiful, idyllic setting to have for a murder mystery. I have read other books by this author but this is one of my favorites so far. I look forward to reading more in the future.

Eat Me (Mayim Merman series Book 1)Eat Me by Amber Dark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eat Me (Mayim Merman Book 1) by Amber Dark is a paranormal erotica book. This story I took a chance on as I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about it and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. This was a quick steamy read that draws you in until the very last page. The characters in this story were amazing and helped bring the story to life. We follow Mayim in this book and he is everything you could want in a erotica book sexy, talks dirty and just ughhhh he screams seduction. But can he help this stranger? This is a book you need in your life.

Designing Love (The Calderone Family Romance Book 3)Designing Love by Victoria Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Designing Love, is book three in the Calderone Family Romance series by Victoria Grant and although some of the characters overlap, each book in the series can be read as a standalone story. This is a fun romantic comedy featuring Charles Calderone and Caroline Winters, Caroline is a blunt pragmatist who loves her job as an architect and has a ‘no relationship’ rule, and Charles is a hopeful romantic and connoisseur of all things refined as well as the Vice President of his family’s business. “Tempers flare and sparks fly as their professional and personal lives collide”, when Caroline is chosen as the lead designer on the Calderone Industries office complex, and Charles appears to question her every decision. However neither can deny their attraction for one another and their chemistry sizzled off the page. I loved the interactions between the two of them and the witty banter between them as they were in a constant power struggle. I liked how sassy Caroline was and how her obvious talent for architecture came across, Charles was a great character as well, handsome, charming and a bit of a control freak. The book is wonderfully written and I happily escaped into the Calderone family’s drama as it was a real page turner. I was cheering the couple on to their happy ever after, no spoilers, as I recommend reading the book!

Not So Far (Love Grows series, Book 3)Not So Far by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not So Far is the 3rd book in the Love Grows series by Renee Regent. It is the first book I read in the series, and the first by this author. It can be read as a stand alone, and I enjoyed it. It is a sweet romance about fate, love and second chances. The story is well written, and the characters are solid. It is predictable, but I still enjoyed reading it and would like to go back and read book 1 and 2.
The story follows Silas and Audrey, two people who dated one summer in high school, and haven’t spoken for 18 years. Fate seems to have brought them back together, but they both need to own up to their secrets, in order to move on. Fate can be a tricky thing, but so can love. Is it time to lay all the cards on the table and see where they stand?
Silas has returned back to Georgia, after the passing of his grandfather. While in town, he decides to try to reconnect with Audrey- If she will even see him. They shared a steamy summer together 18 years ago, but haven’t spoken since. He split town without so much as a warning, and then married of her best friends. But he had a good reason to bail, one he has kept secret from everyone. But its not just Silas with secrets, Audrey has a pretty big one of her own.

This is a go-to author for me so it was no brainer that I picked up book 3 in the Love Grows Series By Renee Regent.

I absolutely loved this read, and it was made even better by the fact I had read the two previous reads in this series, which I highly recommend you do as you wouldn’t want to miss out on this author’s incredible writing style, epic storyline and brilliant characters.
This was a captivating read from the get-go, I was hooked on Audrey’s story and couldn’t wait to find out more!
This is a second chance read that has all the emotions. With Silas back in Audrey’s life, what impact will it make to her?
These two have amazing chemistry that I loved reading develop and watching their relationship grow throughout the read!

I can’t wait to see what else this author brings, I highly recommend her and this series!

The Labyrinthine Journey by Luciana Cavallaro is the second book in the Servant of the Gods series. I did read this as a stand-alone book although I would recommend reading the previous book first to get a better understanding and build up.
The book was very well written. It was so easy to imagine the scenes and the get a feel for the characters. The author has created an interesting and diverse world that feels so accurate for the time it it set in.
I really enjoyed reading about Evan. He is such a relatable and engaging character. You automatically get behind him and want him to find a way back home.
This is the first book I have read by this author but it certainly won’t be the last.

Vi and Aiden are perhaps destined to be together in this world of magic or perhaps they can battle a bigger force than one another. Vi, a fire witch and Aiden, a fire shifter are caught up in a game of tug of war. Vi knows she has changes coming that threaten her coven because life hasn’t been easy for her.
Aiden comes seeking answers from Vi but this shakes something up her world in a lot of ways. This book is steamy, intense, and action-packed. This is a gorgeous read and unpredictable. I couldn’t get enough. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first!

Tangled Fates. By Denise D. Young. (Tangled Magic book 2)

Wow this was amazing, it didn’t feel like it was just over a hundred pages, so much was packed into this story it felt like a full length book. Denise is such a talented author, I was pulled in from the first page and gripped all the way through. So I started on book 2 and followed along with ease, I will be going back to read the first book though as I have lots of questions. This story follows Vi and Aidans stories and both characters are very likeable. Looking forward to following this series to the end.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not So Far is the 3rd book in the Love Grows Series by Renee Regent. I had read, and loved, the first 2 books in the series and was looking forward to reading another. Not So Wrong is a great second chance romance with characters that you can’t help but fall in love with.
Audrey Colebank is a recently widowed mother of 3 with a huge secret eating away at her. Silas was the love of her life as a teenager and she was devastated when he left and has never forgiven him. Silas has returned to town after the death of his grandfather and his arrival throws Audrey into turmoil. She hates Silas for what he did to her but her body can’t help but still be attracted to him. Silas also has a huge secret of his own as to why he left.
Will either of them divulge the huge secrets that would cause even more turmoil to the other? Can Silas win back Audrey, the love of his life? Can Audrey put the past behind her and make a future with Silas? I’m not going to answer any of these questions. I urge you to read this great book and get the answers for yourself.
This is a great second chance romance that will pull at your heartstrings and drag you through a range of emotions. 100% recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A High Price To pay is the 2nd book in the Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton. This is a great detective series which is thrilling and fast paced.
3 years have passed since we left Madeline and Mike at the end of Spouse Trap. They are now newly qualified as private detectives and Madeline is still working in her role as an event planner. When a huge glamorous event that Madeline is working on becomes a murder enquiry, her and Mike become embroiled in solving the murder.
At the same time one of the thugs who kidnaped Madeline 3 years earlier is back on the scene and Madeline’s life is in danger.
This is a very fast paced, thrilling, suspenseful novel that I was hooked on from the very beginning. As much as I enjoyed Spouse Trap, I thought this book was so much better. I was so engaged in the storyline and couldn’t wait to see how it all panned out.
Cynthia Hamilton sure knows how to write a detective story. The intricate plot is so well thought out and keeps you hooked and you will not want to put this book down.
I can’t wait to read more of Madeline and Mike’s adventures.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A High Price to Pay is the second novel in the Madeline Dawkins series. In ‘A High Price to Pay’, Madeline is working as both an events coordinator and as a private investigator, her jobs cross paths during a weekend long fortieth birthday extravaganza for the wife of a famous film director. Following the theft of some family jewels, Madeline does a background check and along with Mike is soon dealing with a murder investigation. To add to her troubles Madeline is informed that one of the men that abducted her three years previously is being released early having done a deal with the Feds. As Madeline helped put Rick Yeoman in prison she fears he may come after her.
This is a gripping murder mystery, crime drama with a fast paced storyline and great characters. It was lovely to be back with Madeline who is still dealing with the events from book one and who along with partner Mike is continuing with her private investigator work. Madeline is a wonderful female lead and I love her witty one liners. The story had me hooked from page one just as the previous book in this series did. Although it can be read as a standalone story, personally I feel the reader would enjoy it more if they have read the previous book and so have Madeline’s backstory.
I look forward to future books in this series.

By 5 out of 5

Not So Far is the third book in the love grows series by Renee Regent and I have loved all three books. The characters are well written and strong minded. I just love their quirkiness that the characters share.

Audrey and Silas where teenage lovers for a summer. She thought they had true love, but he left and she doesn’t know why. Now he is back in town and her feelings are just as strong but there is so much water under the bridge, so much anger, so much pain, so much lost, so many secrets.

Silas wants to tell Audrey why he left but he can’t. Will she believe him when he comes clean? Will Audrey tell Silas her secrets? Will Silas forgive Audrey for her secrets?

Eat Me (Mayim Merman series Book 1)Eat Me by Amber Dark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eat Me is the first book in the Mayim Merman series. It’s a quick read, great for when you only have a short break but want to pack everything you can into it.

I honestly had no idea what to expect when I got this book. It was the cover that caught my eye.

First, I wish the story had been a little longer because I felt like the physical part was played up but the message that was important in this book – that we shouldn’t let a failed relationship make us doubt ourselves – gets a little watered down.

Now, in saying that, I do love the way this book shows this casual encounter in a positive light. The male lead, while enjoying the physical experience, actually does have an underlying drive to show these women that they are worth being loved by the right person.

Overall, I’d say if you are looking for a ton of intricate story line, this book is not going to scratch that itch. However, if you are looking for a short, steamy read with a positive affirmation of casual physical encounters that ultimately lead to an HEA, I’d say this would be a good choice.

I enjoyed this standalone story in Renee Regent’s ‘Love Grows’ series, it is a lovely second chance at love story. Silas and Audrey were young when they first fell in love and came from very different backgrounds when Silas just disappeared they were both left heartbroken. When fate brings Silas back to Atlanta, Georgia he is determined to have a second chance at love with Audrey, the only girl he has ever loved. However telling Audrey why he left will devastate her and Silas is not the only one with a secret. I loved the two main characters and the attraction between them was obvious as was the hurt and distrust. I found this an enjoyable read and although this is the first book I’ve read by Renee Regent it will not be the last.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So this isn’t what I expected by a long shot. I was looking for romance and this doesn’t really have that. The story was difficult to read because the characters irritated me. Many times i just wanted to put the book down. These family dynamics in here are tough and I lean towards stronger characters with a little backbone. The writing was good and easily drew me in (like a car crash) and kept my interest. The characters are a nightmare. Too many times I just wanted to smack some sense into them. There isn’t one to like and Just when I thought I did find one, that person did something horrible and I am back to square one.

I have VERY strong feelings towards this book. I have a dislike/hate relationship with the characters. I almost wish Cooper was written as little stronger (overall) and maybe softer towards Bailey. That might make him more palatable. Then maybe I could root for him. I just didn’t understand his whole hate/love demeanor all the time towards Bailey.

This is kind of a soft ending. Meaning if the reader is happy with the ending. Great But if not there is more in the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars!
Designing Love is book 3 of the Calderone Family Series. I have not read the other 2 books, and I was able to understand and stay caught up with this book, so it can be read as a standalone.
Caroline is the maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding, Charles is the best man for his brother in that same wedding. Their relationship starts off kind of rocky but slowly comes around to something beautiful. When Caroline is chosen as the architect for the Calderone family business, I was weary that it would go very well due to the budding romance between Caroline and Charles, and I was right to feel that way. I felt as though their fights were ridiculous and that Caroline would get mad and agitated with Charles for really small and trivial things. In the end I love how Charles stuck it out with her, was there for her for all her ups and downs including, a family crisis, an award, and all her many doubts. They both said they would never get married, Charles especially after he was turned down on his first marriage proposal to his previous girlfriend, and that love wasn’t for either of them, but I guess you never know how love will affect you.

The secondary characters were also a fantastic element to the book and meeting them, I look forward to going back and reading the first 2 books of the series.

Ok so Im not that into reading super sizzling hot books and the page count kind of scared me because I thought well this will be a quick sex filled under 30 minute read with no substance in the storyline.

WRONG!! I chose this book because the whole merman idea fascinated me and the cover…well…it speaks for itself!!

This was in fact a super quick read coming in at only about 42 pages, but I am amazed that at the end of this I actually felt like there was a lesson for all contained in the few pages, a lesson that everyone that has lost all of their self esteem during an ugly break up could benefit from. This book was definitely steamy and some of Mayim’s dirty talking literally made me blush.

I really did enjoy this story and not just because of the heat factor.. I loved the ending and can not wait for more in this series.

When the happiest day of your life turns into the worst day of your life in seconds can you recover from the ordeal and live to find happiness well for Bryer she will have to dig deep to try and recover from this disaster and still want the love of her life.

Bryer and Nathan are finally on track, organising the wedding of their dreams but will a blast from the past ruin everything they have work and strived so hard to have, when they think he has gone in rolls Cash like a bad penny.

Oh my this man is on a one way mission to ruin Bryer’s biggest day of her life. He believes he is the only one for her and no-one will have her if he can’t and he puts a lot of obstacles in the way. Cash has always been the top dog and he is not going to back down with out a final battle to the end.

Will Nathan and Bryer be able to overcome all the crap and push through and will their love prevail and win in the end, you will have to read the book to find out if they have their forever?

I loved all the characters, yes, even Cash because without him you would not see the true character of Bryer and Nathan. The story continues brilliantly from the last two stories and you feel like you are walking there footsteps with each hurdle they overcome. Although I could have drop kicked Cash I do have to throw a lifeline to Cash as he was hurting and although his actions were wrong I do feel a little bit sorry for him, I know I must need my head read lol.

This is the best out of the three stories, well written and the characters are just great I could see me being friends with Bryer and you feel while reading the story that you are with them enjoying the ups and down as you go through the story.

Well done Ms Wine these are the first books I have read from your collection and I will be reading more.

What happens when your life is finally on track and then a blast from the past who you truly loved comes back into your life to threaten everything, well that’s the dilemma Audrey has when Silas comes back into her life to see if the love they had years ago still there.

Audrey has never really forgotten about her first love Silas but when he up and left she was heartbroken but when a chance meeting again threatens to stir all those emotion back up but does she want to go back and put her heart on the line to have it broken all over again.

Silas has thought about the love he lost all those years ago and going back to Atalanta seems the best option to try and re-kindle the love he felt with Audrey but will a secret from his past throw that relationship out of the water or will she be able to forgive him and have want they should have always deserved all those years ago.

I really enjoyed this story, it was full of emotion and a beautiful woven story, I have not read the other two books and felt although the book flowed I would have been better getting more information from the two stories before but that did not deflect from this book, I am greedy and wanted to know more about other characters and Silas and Audrey.

The characters were well developed, you were taken into the story and held all through. The female lead Audrey was sassy and independent, Silas was a great counter to this wonderful female character. I recommend this book and this wonderful story but I would try to read the first two books first just to give some background. I certainly will be reading them shortly.

I really enjoyed this cyber fantasy. It’s about a cyberspy called St. Augustine, who works as an agent for megacorporations, but also for hire for clients like the Orange Lady. But this job is a trap, and it gets personal. I loved figuring out St. Augustine’s backstory and the development of the character. Although the setting itself was a bit confusing in the beginning, there were so many details that really helped me imagine it better. I really enjoyed the overall plot, the side characters, and the fast pace. I’d recommend reading this series in order.

The pair’s schemes go bust, but they embolden Rocky to embark on a journey of risks, eavesdropping and snooping to discover the truth about the father he thought he knew.

Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson is a very well spun story. Some books you read for the history, some you read for love, and some you read just cause you like a good story. This book is that good story. I could totally identify with Grace, because I have been that odd man out. Eccentricity is rarely loved by the rest of the world. This is a great story for young people but adults will love it too. I know I did! I hope we see Grace and her friends in another story, these characters are way to good to only travel with once.
