Breathless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #3)Breathless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I swear every time I read a book by this author that it couldn’t possibly get any better. Then there’s a new book being better, ok maybe not better but I swear I love them all. If you asked me to choose a favorite by this author it would be impossible. Each book I’ve read has had the characters steal pieces of my heart, Hank and Ella were no different. From start to finish I was completely hooked. They just pull you into their world so effortlessly and you find yourself never wanting to leave them. I promise you they will live rent free in your mind long after you finish the book. It’s well written and you can feel every emotion written into it’s pages. I’m a huge fan of this author and all the characters created. Five big stars and highly recommended!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m a huge fan of the forbidden. This book has just that. This is part of a series, I read it just fine as a stand-alone but I am excited to read the others. The characters got me hooked right from the start. I found myself wishing I had more time in a day to read so I wouldn’t have to stop. It’s a well written storyline with characters you can connect with and root for. This is a newer author to me but I definitely can’t wait to read more. Four big stars and highly recommended to everyone.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This may have been a quick read but it still gave me all the feels. The characters were so easy to connect with which can sometimes be difficult to pull through in a quick read. This author however did a great job of doing just that. You get completely pulled into their world and can’t wait to see what happens next. I believe this is a first for me from this author and I’ll definitely be looking for more. It’s well written and paced at a nice speed. Four stars and highly recommended!

A Dress To Remember: A Fairy TaleA Dress To Remember: A Fairy Tale by K.L. Small
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I got this book for my nieces who are 9 and 11. Each of us really enjoyed the storyline and characters. My nieces took turns reading and both had an easy time really getting into the story. Some times kids can be easily distracted and my nieces are this way a lot of the time but once they started this book they kept wanting to keep going. I loved to take away from the story I believe it hit close to home with my oldest niece. I’m a huge fan of a story that can entertain but also teach kids a valuable lesson. My nieces were asking for more books after this one so I’ll definitely take that as a win. We all agreed it’s a five star story.

I love when I get to read a book that once I’m done my soul does a happy dance for a while. This book was everything I didn’t even know I was looking for.

The characters are the kind that you want them as real life every day friends. The banter between them will keep you entertained for hours. I can’t wait for more in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You ever opened a book and gotten a few lines in and just get a chill? Like you know you’re about to go for a wild ride? That’s what happened for me with this book. This author hits some very trigging subjects very well. Triggers aren’t for everyone and that totally fine but I do appreciate how well the author does them. My only real draw back are the flash backs but that’s more of a me hold up than the author so don’t let that stop you. The characters are complex and pulled me in right away. The storyline will keep you on the edge of your seat most of the time. I’m giving this read four stars and highly recommend. Can’t wait to see where this author takes readers next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book pulled me in right from the get go and I couldn’t put it down even once. Luke is a character I think a lot of people can relate with and she definitely is a character people will remember. Nikolai is a wonderful match for Luke and they definitely have a chemistry that leaps off the pages. There’s romance, suspense and much more to love about this story. I found myself trying to read slower just to make it last longer but unfortunately I was too excited to read the next page. It’s well written and has great characters. Five stars all the way and highly recommended.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story was fun, I had my two nieces take turns reading it out loud. They each thought it was a fun and educational. They both found it easy to read their ages are 10 and 8. Reading this together made them both want to learn about different kinds of bees so it truly turned into a wonderful learning adventure also. My favorite part is the activity in the back it elevated the learning and I love getting to have fun and teach my nieces new things. Five stars all the way and highly recommend.

This story kind of took me by surprise as to just how much I enjoyed it. Now listen I mean that in all the best ways because I read a lot of books and I’m always on the lookout for ones that will stick with me and take me by surprise. This author did that and so much more in my opinion. The characters and storyline are so realistic I just sank right into their world and I was so sad to say see you later to these great characters. From start to finish I was completely hooked and the outside world meant nothing to me! The storyline will have you turning the pages as fast as possible to see what will happen!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Adrik and Annika’s story might just be in my top three favorite reads for 2022. I did read this as a stand-alone without any problems but you can tell other characters have a story to be read so I’ll definitely be going back to read the rest of the series. There’s so many amazing things about this story, the characters pull you so completely into their world it’s hard to leave when the end comes. Once I started this book I simply couldn’t put it down. I read it in one night and wished I could have slowed it down but I was just way to invested. I’ll definitely be rereading this one though. Well written with characters you’ll fall for. Five huge stars and highly recommended!

While this is book five it can easily be read as a stand-alone without any confusion but I do recommend the others in the series also.

So I’m a huge fan of twists or retellings of different stories and on of my favorites is different takes on Cinderella so I was definitely excited for this one.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There’s just something about the forbidden isn’t there. One of my favorite story types is the best friend’s sister and this author nailed it. I’m a fan of stories with steam but it also needs a storyline that has depth and I am happy to say this author does that well. Noah and Callie will forever have a piece of my heart. They had me so completely drawn in that I simply couldn’t put this book down. Their story is well written and the characters just click so well. I easily read it as a standalone which I appreciate. I’d give this book fives stars all the way and highly recommend it.

This book is in no way for the faint of heart. This author takes hard to deal with situations and writes them well this book isn’t for everyone but I for one simply couldn’t put it down. Two imperfect people with a heck of a story to tell.from page one I knew I’d be getting very little sleep and I was right. Once I started I found it so hard to put it down when the real world came calling. There’s definitely times this author had me in tears and I loved every minute of it. The story will draw you so completely in and you’ll have a hard time when the end comes. Five stars and highly recommended all the way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You want a book that hits you in all the right places of the heart then one click this one. From the first chapter I knew I was in for a great read. Evan and Callie are totally going to steal every bit of your heart trust me and you’ll give it over willingly. The absolute only downside to this story was that it had to end but I’d read it over and over again easily. The characters are complex and relatable, issues that real people have to deal with on a daily basis are discussed and while not always easy the author does a wonderful job at it. I’d give more stars if possible but just know it’s even bit as amazing as the five stars I’m giving it. Highly recommended!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story brought me to my knees in all the most amazing ways. I’m just going to start off by saying five stars all the way. Have you ever sat down with a book that captures all of your heart? Because that’s exactly what TJ and Katrina did to me. Each character was so very easy to connect with and you just couldn’t help but love them and their story. The author is amazing with detailed information and a story that keeps you so drawn in you tend to forget the outside world. That was completely fine by me. I’ll definitely be missing these characters and will have to reread their story eventually again. Again five stars well deserved!

Ok so I found this book and was in the mind set of branching out in my comfort zone of what I like to read.

Each character was so easy to connect with, them simply pull you into their world and you don’t want to leave. I’m so happy I found this author and can’t wait for more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great clean and easy romance, with a bit of suspense added in. Everyone in this story made it an exciting read for sure. It’s on the shorter side and while that didn’t hinder the storyline in any way I just find myself wanting more time with Levi and Bella simply because I liked their story. I’m definitely excited to read more about this family. It’s got everything you need in a romantic suspense type story and characters that are so easy to connect with. Well written and paced nicely even with it being shorter it’s in no way rushed or lacking anything. Four big stars and highly recommended. Excited to read more!

I think this is a wonderful story for any child to read I read it with my niece who’s 8 years old and not adopted but she still learned the lesson being presented with the story. And I think it’s absolutely wonderful for those who are adopting to have something to show them that what they feel is totally fine. It’s short sweet and to the point and a very easy read for children. I highly recommend it for the age group intended and for adopted and non adopted children. Four big stars and highly recommended!

You know that little feeling you get when you read the first few pages and just know you’re about to read an amazing story? That’s exactly what happened when I opened this one up. The characters instantly had me hooked. And this author had my emotions all over the place. Oh how I fell in love with Ellawyn her character spoke to me so much and I seriously wish we could read books for the first time more than once but I’ll make due adding it to my read again list. It’s a well written storyline and had everything I was looking for in a romantic suspense story. I can’t wait to see where this author takes readers next.

I’m a huge fan of a story that can be short but doesn’t make you notice that it is. While it’s a shorter read it wasn’t hindered in anyway. I truly felt an easy connection to the characters and the overall storyline and that’s not always easy but this author did it very well. From page one I couldn’t put it down and finished it rather quickly and enjoyed all of it. There’s just something about these two characters that spoke a little deeper to me and I’ll remember them for a while. If you’re looking for an amazing shorter read I highly recommend this story. Four big stars!

Every single time I see a new book from this author I think to myself it couldn’t get any better and this author proves me wrong every time. The things that play out in her head is fantastic and I for one am grateful she writes us stories. Once again her characters are so easy to connect with and root for. They each have a story to tell and I loved every minute of it. I definitely stay up way too late if I start one of this authors book and this one made me do it again and it was worth the sleepless night. If I could give more than five stars I would but just know it’s worth way more. Highly recommended! This book and this author in general!
