My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved both books. I truly started using British words and slangs because I felt I was living in the story; I got that into it !
So well written, original, funny, so much character development, twists and turns, it is a must read!

Such a cute love story in both books also, which is also a huge plus 💗
Hope you all love it as much as me

Russian goalie for nhl team, and the coaches daughter, sparks flying ! The intensity between them was incredible and I started rooting for them from the get go!
Had some laughs, some tears and even yelled at a character at one point. Definitely recommend to anyone who loves some hockey rom-com 😊

Unmasking a Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Series) by Rachelle Paige Campbell – Review by Katy winter

Unmasking A Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Book 3)Unmasking A Cowgirl by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

  • Started out slow and I was a bit worried as I really wanted to read it. However, it picked up, slow burn clean romance novel. Rachelle is fantastic with character building- independently but also once they get coupled up. Amazing independent development and relationship development.
    I love reading her stories alone for that.
    Definitely recommend to others 😊

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so happy she wrote this. Loved Tessa & James’s story so much and also loved seeing how Patrick and Evelyn’s story had evolved.
This story was so great!! Kept me reading until it was done.

Character development was fantastic (in both couples).
It kept me on my toes guessing who Tessa’s stalker was and the way it was all connected was very interesting and well written!
Highly recommend this duet to any reader!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Couldn’t put it down! First thing, it takes place in Canada! And I’m a Canadian girl 🇨🇦 and love rock and roll and hockey! 2 things I love and know well.
Hunter was amazing at showing the character growth and development, making sure the story left no holes or questions left unanswered and giving us readers our Happy Ever After!!! This is the first book I have read of Hunter’s and I really loved her writing style and short chapters (I didn’t even realize how much I prefer short chapters until now). I plan to look into more of her books now.
Amazing! Definitely recommend

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this story! I can’t wait to read the rebel series now! I need more 😊

Read the trigger warnings; some of those themes are pretty heavy. I don’t have triggers but I sure did bawl a couple moments, the situations were written so well, you empathize with characters and it breaks your heart reading their stories.
I could not even believe a few things I read, leaving my mouth open in shock, which makes me NEED to read the series to get more details on the what, where, who, when etc

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

Truly loved this!
Loved how we knew the characters from book 1 so it was easy to follow, but still no cliff hangers. However, stuff that you know still needs to be tied up.
I love getting to know these tribe men & the origins of them but also their love interests 😊
Hoping she does a book for each of the tribe men but also gets deeper into the topics.
There are a few triggers that should be understood before reading also

Really enjoyed a different genre for a change! This story was easy to read and follow. Character/relationship development was awesome!!!! I had many “what ifs” while reading which is super fun!
I did predict some stuff but not all!
Would highly recommend to anyone who loves a good “who done it” story!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

By far one of the best books I have ever read! The writing style, the story, her character development.
It was all so phenomenal!! I highly recommend this to everyone!
Seeing her self realization and her growth, alone this made an amazing story. Adding in the love story and happily ever after was gravy!
It was also a huge reminder how racism and other forms of discrimination are still so alive and present in America and Canada at least.
Just read ! I don’t think anyone would be disappointed !!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amazing!!! I couldn’t stop once I got into it. It was so “real” and represented a lot of today’s issues in relationships, our past experiences still haunting us! The character development along with relationship dynamics and growth were fun to read, and kept you reading intrigued to see how it plays out. Hoping she writes about other characters love stories now… especially Niko & Chloe… highly recommend this

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was actually a very well written and heartfelt story. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Friends- to enemies to lovers, loved that it told stories from growing up and their development as adults independently but also together.
Quick and easy read, under 24 hours because I needed to know how it was going to end. Plan to read the rest of the series.

Touched: Elemental Passions Book One by Skye Turner, Sloane Nicole, April D. Berry, C.J. Pinard, Danielle Jamie, Darlene Tallman, Julie Morgan, Livell James, Machelle Hanleigh, and Melissa MacKinnon – Review by Katy winter

Touched (Elemental Passions #1)Touched by Skye Turner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Firstly, it’s unique. I have never read anything like this before. It takes our human world and then the fantasy world and shows how it all “could” coexist, in a sense.
It was spectacular! The character development for me was incredible! The love story, also so great!
I am so glad I took the chance on this book, knowing it’s the start of a series and I can’t continue on. I usually wait to start series once they are almost all released because I have zero patience!
Hope they make this into a movie even one day. Would love to see it brought to life.
Highly recommend!!!!!

So good! Couldn’t put it down!! So much emotion and excitement ! Done in less than 24 hours, and looking at the rest of the series soon.
This book actually had me laugh out loud, cry real tears and legit rooting for Evelyn & Patrick to live and happily ever after! I was also guilty by the end of reading the men’s voices with Brit accents and giggling about it to myself. Definitely highly recommend !!

Give Us Bad Boys and BillionairesGive Us Bad Boys and Billionaires by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A whole lotta heat!!! My goodness! I love my smut, so I’m not complaining! If you’re the type who likes the smut more than story, this is 100% the book for you!!! There was a little bit of this and that. A lot of “forbidden” love, which is one of my favourite tropes, so I was all over it!! Much longer than I expected also! Not a quick read that I was expecting.
One down fall (that I didn’t even realize until reading) I clearly like the story and character development more than I thought because as much as I loved this book, I missed rooting for characters or couples. Only thing I disliked but as a whole, amazing!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Really enjoyed this series. Quick reads with lots of surprises and plot twists. So much happens, it’s hard to put down! I was surprised about some of the action in this book, wasn’t expecting it but it really made the story. This one out of the series was jam packed with lots of action but also answers to wrap stuff up.
Glad the series is just beginning even though moving on to another couple! Bring more on!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a good read. this is the second book of Victoria’s I have read and she does her research well, which is refreshing when reading about MC’s and BDSM/kinks. There are some trigger warnings and tropes involved that some may not be comfortable with. I think for me, Emily’s character development was the main thing that made the book!
I would highly recommend this book! Fantastic read.

Fantastic ! Quick easy ready, ends on a cliff hanger though, be prepared 😆 read the trigger warnings prior, not meant for everyone. Their relationship seems deeps but conflict lies all around. Their characters develop quick and leave you on the edge. Going for the next book now and likely the entire series 🩷

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read Trigger warnings! There is an assault that is pretty brutal and could be triggering !
I really loved this book, and the writing style.
Loved that you had closure but they left one story line going into a second book. Not a huge cliff hanger but enough to keep you waiting for August to hurry up! Loved the connection that Kai and Waters have right from chapter 1. Watching them evolve and their relationship and characters develop was actually really fun and kept me wanting more.
This is also the authors first book, so she set the bar pretty high!!! Waiting for more!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kingston is a morally grey man who doesn’t think he has a heart anymore, until he has Ava and he starts feeling things he doesn’t understand.
This second part of the duet is much spicier, has more background info so you understand the characters and appreciate the development!
Pay attention to trigger warnings before starting.
I really enjoyed this duet and highly recommend

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Although it took a bit to get into, once I got into it. I could not put it down. I devoured the last 50% + in a night / morning. I cannot wait to read the second part. Watching Ava change and her character development was amazing!! My heart broke for her a few times but it did for Kingston also. They honestly are perfect for one and other in a very complex way. The book is dark and definitely intended for mature adults. Enemies to lovers! Which can be very triggering. April’s writing style is unique but it was great. Bring on #2!

Fantastic! I enjoyed this more than the first duet. Both were great stories but this one just kept me more engaged and focused.
Again, reading the 2 stories intertwined was really fun and interesting. Would definitely recommend to people. Although it’s two stories, it was a great quick read. Another great job. Can’t wait to read the 3rd and final duet in this series

I really enjoyed this. Having the 2 sisters stories together and reading from each perspective and how the same story ended for both sides was actually really cool.
I loved the men in these stories. Especially Jay, something about him and his devotion was truly inspiring and I wish all men would take a lesson 🙂
Cannot wait for the second duet series 🙂

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Is Lynn going crazy with paranoia or are things going on around her since winning the lottery? This book got me reading and I couldn’t stop! This story gets quite graphic and has some intense moments. A twist that many won’t see coming (I did however). I did not like that it ended in total suspense and we won’t read the remainder until next year. But I’m thankful that I took a chance on it. I typically am nervous to read psychological thrillers 😊
