Stout of My League (Love on Tap Series) by Sylvie Stewart – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Stout of My League (Love on Tap #4)Stout of My League by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. With four older overprotective brothers Lynn Brooks is fed up with ‘alpha males’. Professional baseball star Joey Martel is definitely an ‘alpha male’, and so when he makes a play for her she turns him down, not wanting to be his latest conquest. Lynn is surprised when Joey turns up for treatment on a possible career changing injury. With trouble brewing again for the Brooks family Lynn has to contend with her star patient and an unwanted bodyguard. Lynn soon wonders if a fling with Joey isn’t such a bad idea, after all he’s not her type, and he’s not looking for a relationship? However, Joey is determined to win the game! Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was pleased that past characters ‘pop up’ in it. Although it can be reads as a standalone story, as the background story continues throughout the series I would personally recommend reading the books in order. The intriguing storyline with a mystery element and a twist in the tale, along with likeable and relatable characters and an immersive setting had me hooked from start to finish.

By Your Side (Willowbrook Lake, #1)By Your Side by Ashley Erin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a dual point of view switching between Adeline and Owen. Adeline is a new young widow who decides to buy a fixer upper in a small town. She needs to start somewhere new when she realizes everyone around her is not supportive. She literally almost runs into Owen on her first day in town when she is lost and trying to find her house. She doesn’t know his name and overhears people talking about Wally. Owen is a contractor and seems to always be helping the people in the community. When Adeline realizes she is over her head in the house projects she calls Owen to come help and is surprised it is Wally who has walked in. They clean up the water (broken sink) and finally get introduced. Owen is a grump but only around Adeline. She is grieving but also trying to keep her heart open. As the house is being fixed, so is she and they become friends. I loved all the side characters and friends in this book and the small town setting too. This book was funny and hopeful and I truly enjoyed it! I see that the next book in the series follows another couple and I can’t wait to read it.

Bad Enough (The Deadman's Tribe, #2)Bad Enough by Nicole Craig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loving the smouldering cover ☄️❣️📚what’s in between the pages is even better 😉

In the words of Sylvan aka “ Flame” …. “ freakin’ Frankenstein” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Before I get into the story I just want to comment on the dedication … I just love how real and honest it is , straight shooting from the heart …. Love it !

So Sylvan is an author , she’s got a case of writers block and she’s doing on line research with a Dom named Lobo but she’s also got what seems to be a stalker but I’ll get there in a minute … first off these 2 remind me of “you’ve got mail “but a spicy version with an added twist , like a dirty martini really 🙈🤣

We meet Lobo (TB) at “ The Library “ how HOT is that name !? 🔥anyhoo he’s got a sub coming onto him , he’s not interested and then poof she vanishes and my blood runs cold ….she’s also not the first to disappear 😵

I love the way Lobo get ls Flame to do what he wants even if it’s virtual at first , he’s soooooo smooth and I had put the fan on so my kindle didn’t overheat 🙈🤣

So Lobo is an information specialist and is actually party of a specialised team that deals with interrogation, kidnapping , protection details , missing people etc a whole different world to that of Sylvan and her author/book world but their 2 worlds collide when she’s in danger remembering they do meet face to face at the club but at the time she doesn’t know the other side of him , he’s so patient with her I think he could even sway me 🤣they both have secrets and that adds to the mystery , suspense and danger !
They had me on the edge of my seat and I totally forgot my earlier reference of a spicy you’ve got mail 🤣🥰🙈

I would read book 1 first though not that I felt lost but because we all could with spice in our lives right 🤣🔥 jokes aside treat yourself and read them both , warn your family it’s stretch or starve for a few days and just indulge …

Love the way these 2 have conversations with themselves it almost feels like I’m normal 🤣also Sylvan has given me a whole new “cuss vocab” thanks girl 😉

The comradie between the team is entertains , they’re tight as brothers and they take the Mickey out of each other who is quite entertaining to say the least but they’re all good men and yes they’re all yummy 🔥😉🥰

Flying at RecessFlying at Recess by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The story is about a little girl named Soara and her three friends, Lulu and Zanie. These three friends are inseparable except at recess. At recess Soara can fly, but only at recess. While she is having fun flying, her friends become sad because they are playing alone. This one-day Soara is running late but finally makes it back, but she was late. This was a weird story. You don’t understand why she can fly in the first place and it just ends with her back in school and late. I just am not sure what the purpose of this book was but I am sure a child would think it was cool she could fly.

The Handshake AgreementThe Handshake Agreement by A. Akinosho

This book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat with all of the twists and turns Akinosho throws at you. I really enjoyed Anne and Declan’s story and everything they had to go through to eventually get their HEA. Their story has it all…suspense, heartbreak, second-chance, age-gap, alpha touch-her-and-die vibes, etc. I really loved the way Akinosho wrote these two…especially Anne. She isn’t your typically “needy” girl who just fawns over Declan because he’s her best friends older (and very hot) brother. In fact, she tries extremely hard to avoid him. Anne is just a very well-written character and I appreciate that. Declan is very much an alpha (in all the good ways) with an off standish attitude, but touch-my-girl-and-die outlook when it comes to Anne. I really love the dynamic between the two. The plot line is also very well written and flows nicely. You won’t regret picking up this read!

Raccoon ReunionRaccoon Reunion by Terri Sabol

This is a cute story about Rocky the Raccoon and his adventures at his family reunion. At first, he’s apprehensive to go because he doesn’t know anyone there and everything happens so fast and he doesn’t know how to do some of the things. But he becomes an integral part of helping everyone out at the end and ends up making friends with his cousin Rascal. It’s a great story to teach your littles about trying new things even though they may be scared. I really loved the illustrations and thought that the life-lessons were great.

By Your Side is the first book in the Willowbrook Lake series by Ashley Erin. Adeline moves to Willowbrook Lake after a devastating loss. While she’s starting over, she meets Owen and begins to feel things she never thought possible. Owen is torn between being her friend and being more while not wanting to be disrespectful of her grief. This was a beautiful love story. Adeline and Owen are wonderfully written. The story flows through time without feeling slow or dragging. For those looking for romance without all the spice this book is for you (there is only one scene in the book). I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

By Your Side is the first book in the Willowbrook Lake Series. This is a Contemporary Romance that I absolutely loved reading. This is about finding love unexpectedly. The characters are developed, relatable and complex. This may be a fairly new author to me but I’m definitely going to check out what other books they have written. Get ready for Owen and Adeline’s story. She’s not looking for love and he’s got many talents. When these two worlds collide all things are possible. My emotions ran all over the place with sweet story. Second chances in small towns can happen. Will these two get there’s? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next.

Raccoon Reunion by Terri Sabol is a cute children’s story with a bit of journey of discovery, problem solving, sharing, teamwork, cooperation, family, overcoming apprehension, and friendship. The fun story is accompanied by some wonderful, bright, and interesting illustrations which really help to bring everything to life.
Rocky the Raccoon and his family are invited to the family reunion being held at Grandma Rigby’s place out in the country. He doesn’t want to go. But he doesn’t really have a choice. When they arrive, there are so many family members there and so many names to remember. Rocky really doesn’t like the food, or the games that are played. He is having the worst time. But what happens when the family decides to go dumpster diving? And will Rocky finally have some fun?
As expected from Ms. Sabol, this is quite a delightful children’s adventure.

Happy Reading…

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

I haven’t read to many country cowboy romance books, but I’m glad that I gave this one a chance. It was cute and funny and all the things you think of when you think country romance. Ted, who is a lead cowboy for a local ranch has settled in Montana after the loss of his wife. Not looking for much more than something to keep him busy and away from the pain, he settles into a new life she didn’t expect to permanent. He always thought he would move on. When he meets Stephanie, a yoga instructor, kindergarten teacher, event planner, and community volunteer he starts to feel that maybe he can love again. But he’s her boss. And then she’s his niece’s teacher. Plus he’s way to old for her. Right? Stephanie has a major crush on Ted, but she knows she just has to get over it. She can barley even talk around him! When she’s around him she becomes a whole other person. One that can’t talk or communicate. When Ted’s sister leaves his niece with him with just about no warning he enlists Stephanie’s help with Maddy. Spending extra time with her is just a bonus. Things heat up for Stephanie when a parent starts to cause trouble and an emergency has everyone looking at life and figuring out what they all want. This book was so good!!! I loved all the ranch stuff and I think that it’s super cute that the kindergarten teacher is falling in love! I won’t give away anything, but I personally really liked the book. Grab it! You will love it too!!

What an amazingly double steamy read! I had read one series by this author before, and it absolutely left me wanting more. I can’t pick a favorite out of the two books included in this collection because I loved them both. The chemistry in both of these books is astounding! It pops off the pages even though the basis of the stories is quite different. I could tell that the characters in each book were developed very intentionally as nothing was missing. I never felt like I was jolted out of the story from odd sentences or a weird scene jump. The author pulls you into their world and doesn’t let go! If you are looking for a spicy double feature, pick this one up right now!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Match Made in Montana series, and it was wonderful! This can be read as a standalone and not be lost whatsoever, but you’ll want to pick up the rest of the series anyways because the author has an amazing writing style. I found that this slow burn really tugged at my heart and found the characters relatable. Ted is a gentlemanly cowboy working at the Kincaid Ranch, but he’s also a bit of a grump. Stephanie seems like a bit of a workaholic, but she just likes to be busy. She’s a take charge person who says what’s on her mind…unless she’s around Ted. She’s got a crush on him and loses all words when he’s around. I loved the two of them together with their chemistry as well as getting to know them independently. Even though this is an age gap, I feel like the author didn’t solely focus on the numbers which helped build the story more for me. I cannot wait to continue this series!

This was a great 5 star read. I really liked having both books in one. .
The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. Each story had great characters and chemistry.
Book 1 April Love: April was on a mission to find “the one” to help her. She sets her sights on Will, but Will wants more. Will he get what he wants or will April keep up her walls? Will meddling exes get in the way?
Book 2 Monica’s Manhunt: Monica is also on her own mission. She is in search of her happily ever after, again.. Matt doesn’t seem to be the one she is looking for, but she can’t resist him. Will Monica find what she is looking for?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. All of the characters were great and all of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. The character chemistry came off of the pages.. We get love, romance, steaminess and so much more. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

Double Delight: The Complete Series

Everyone deserves happiness and second chances, we get both of these in this book.

The first book is April and Will’s story. She has recently moved home after a horrible breakup. She is looking for Mr. Right for the night and sees her crush from high school Will. He approaches her and things progress from there.

The second book is Monica and Matt’s story. They meet when they are thrown together to plan a party of sorts, but nothing gets planned that first night, but so much does happen.

I enjoyed each of these books and good grief there were some pretty hot moments, the night on the barn comes to mind. If you’re looking for a good escape from reality then I recommend you give this a try.

Another great read in this series! While this is the second book, it can be read as a standalone as it focuses on a different set of people. There are appearances from book 1 in the series though so you can continue to catch up on their lives too!

This is an age gap romance that is a very slow burn, yet tender. Stephanie has had a crush on Ted for a long time now. Ted’s a little sweet on Stephanie but he’s afraid that he’d be rejected because of the age difference.

This story reminded me a little bit of my own love story. My hubby and I have a significant age gap in years and we were both fearful of the other’s feelings about that at first.

I look forward to more great stories by this author!

3 1/2 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a age gap small town romance with some drama and definite slow burn….Catch A Cowboy is Book 2 of the Match Made in Montana series. While this book would be read as a stand alone, I do recommend reading the series from the beginning as characters are intertwined. I did enjoy the story of Stephanie and Ted….I was hoping for a bit more “feels” that I love of romance when two people whom are meant to be together.

Ted Stirling is definitely not looking for love. He works at the Kincaid Ranch…….cowboy life. Ted never expects to be anything more than just friends with Stephanie Patricks, who is working as a kindergarten teacher at the local school. When Ted’s sister is asked to help with his niece while she packs up her life and move back home with him….it can be a big adjustment for Ted to care for his niece in her mothers temporary absence. Stephanie has had her eyes on Ted for quite a long time, but feels he does not have the same feelings like she does. Teaching at the local school, Stephanie is nurturing and caring toward her students and when Ted’s niece comes to class as a new student, makes her feel welcomed. Things get a bit hairy with timing, Stephanie helps Ted when she can to make a smooth transition for his niece.

As Ted and Stephanie get to know each other, sometimes the past holds them back and constant thoughts on their age gap…..but when an emergency occurs…will Ted see his feelings and what his heart wants with Stephanie…..

Definitely read and find out. This is a good story and I am looking to see what is next in this series,

Bad Enough is the second novel in the Deadman’s Tribe series by author Nicole Craig. Sylvan, an author, has been chatting with TB, an information specialist, researching her next book. After a few months chatting as their alter egos, Lobo feels connected to Flame even though they’ve never met in real life. TB and his Tribe team are hired by the father of a girl who goes missing at the club he frequents as Lobo. While TB’s team is finding out about Lobo and the club, Sylvan is receiving ominous messages from someone in her past. She’s hiding something and TB vows to get the information from her. Will TB be able to get the information without breaking Sylvan? Will Sylvan ever trust TB with the truth and her heart? Will they be able to move forward with each other and leave their past behind them?

So many things I loved about this book. Suspense, secrets, spice, and for me the perfect amount of BDSM. I don’t particularly enjoy the more hardcore BDSM books but this book really showed the trust that goes into a healthy dominant/submissive relationship. I felt like the author found the perfect blend of spice and plot for me, which is hard to do. I’m looking forward to reading more books from Nicole Craig!

Homicidal Innocence by V.J. Lee. This book was WOW! I made the mistake of reading it while house/dog sitting for my brother at his house in the woods by myself! I was awake most of the night. I did not want to put this thrilling romance down. Its the story of a child killer who was sent away and they thought they had fixed him. They were wrong. He was a killer to his core and it would never change. Maya is a nanny in the fancy, rich world of Diamond Valley and while most people are being a nanny for the money Maya is in it for the kids. She loves children and she’s in college for child psychology. She wants to help kids in need. While money and secrets flow in this valley Maya is only concerned about helping kids when a serial killer gets too close Maya begins to work with Detective Cole in trying to find this guy before someone else dies. What Maya doesn’t know is the killer May have her in his sights. I loved this book it is my favorite genre and I hope this author writes another one soon.

Authors warning – Adults Only: Contains explicit D/s/D dynamics.
Irresistible Bond is the fifth alluring standalone book in this series like the others, but I say read them all as there are cross over characters. I have fallen in love with this series and the characters from the seductive world of Club Nexis a BDSM club where all your fantasies will come alive.
You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family and that right there is where it all began. Best friends since forever torn apart by vicious words. Storm finds herself in a world of evil the soul-destroying kind, the kind you don’t recover from. Marcus and Barrington are Dom’s and will do anything to save her. They vow they will do whatever it takes to keep the woman they love and their sub safe and protected.
The vivid narrative draws you in to the is hot and sexy BDSM lifestyle that is deliciously dark and seductive. Irresistible Bond delivers action, suspense, drama, danger, tension, angst, emotions, BDSM, D/s/D, secrets, and pain but there is also so much pleasure.
Welcome to a world of Submissives, Dominants, BDSM where your pleasure is the Elite’s pleasure.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amy’s Betrayal is the second intriguing book in the Gemstone Massacre series. Make sure to read the first book Amy’s Rebellion as the books follow on. The series is an intriguing New Adult dark fantasy stories. I would also strongly suggest reading War of the Twin Swords before these two as it tells of the war and clans.
Julia packs a lot into her tales that keeps the reader engaged right the way through she has also written characters that are LGBTQIA+ inclusive. There are strong FMC’s and a cast of many with different cultures to wrap your head around that can be a bit much at times trying to remember it all. This urban fantasy story has Arthurian legends with a twist that make it that much more interesting.
Amy’s Betrayal is easily imaged due to Julia’s rich and vivid telling. With drama, action, and suspense, magic, magical lands, friendship, enchantress’s, assassins, gemstones, familiars, seers, evil intensions, a corrupt Magic Council, and shifters there is much for paranormal fantasy lovers to enjoy.
Amy can’t trust all around her and finds she needs to step up and take control before all is destroyed. God help anyone or anything that stands in her way.

4.5 Stars
Unfortunately, this is the fifth, and final book to The Olympic Peninsula series. Read the books in order otherwise you don’t get an idea of who the others in the family are. All our favourite characters from the other four books are back.
Set at Christmas time we get all the senses of this magical time of year as the O’Connell’s celebrate together. With a cast of many complex characters and several plots Cat has done a great job of pulling it all together in one well-woven drama filled tale.
Edward is the eldest brother to the O’Connell clan and has walked away from his faith and is trying to find himself.
Lisette owns a café in the small town but is a haunted woman. She is hiding a lot of secrets with a past that would make the devil look good.
This compelling read was done well and is an engrossing conclusion to this series.
