My Pearl Heart by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a very good very short read. The characters were cute and the story line was good but I felt like parts needed more detail. There were times where I felt like the story “robbed Peter to pay Paul” so to speak! It was definitely a cute, easy read.
Underboss’s Retaliation by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Overall this was a very good book. The plot moved along that it did not become stale but had twist and turns so that it wasn’t easy for the reader to guess.
The beginning started out just a little confusing, I think more context was needed but that was very easy to overcome! Even having not read the first one it did not take away from this book!
After She Became a Lady by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It was a very nice read and even though it was set in the old time, the dialogue wasn’t over powering and still made it able to read. The characters (some of them) were lovely however I felt like it needed more especially in the ending. Parts were very well written and explained and some parts really fell flat. I’m hoping a sequel is next to tie up lose ends!
If I had a sister in law like in this book it would be a murder mystery book haha!
Married Blind by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a nice easy read! Of course to have a love story there’s a happy ending but I wanted more, I felt like something was missing as I read. I dont know if it was more back story but the story felt very forced. The characters were great but more development could have been for both! Over all a good love story if you like an ending you expect!
Falling Home by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was such an incredibly cute read, with characters that you feel like you know! I personally loved that coming from a small town, I felt like this books was written about what I know. The plot kept moving so readers didn’t feel like the story was getting stale, but I kept flipping the pages. I would love to read more by this author.
Taming Beckett by G.K. Brady
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
While this was an easy read it just felt like something was missing! I was waiting for that hook to pull me in and make me not want to put the book down. While the characters are nice I think the development could have been better. As far as sports go the storyline stayed true to the genre of book!
Degrees of Innocence by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
From the moment I started reading I was hooked! The characters are wonderful and have chemistry that just flows off the pages. The story line is well written and the hook catches you from the very beginning. I think this was my first book by this author but it will not be my last!
Snow in Love by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a very cute, easy, holiday read! The characters are wonderful. The story pulled readers in from start to finish. Its easy to feel why this was a keep reading book! While this book could have been placed in any part of the year, Christmas just made it that much sweeter!
Kiss Away Your Pain by Debbie Cromack
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another good addition to the series but another story dragged out! The characters were wonderful and their story was great! The chemistry comes off the pages but the hook was missing! I really want this series to come out with a banger!
The Kidnapping by Linda Burson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The book was a fun read but I was waiting for that one moment that would capture my attention and let me know I could not put the book down! The characters are well developed, and the story line is well written I just wanted more. I dont know if I was hoping for a darker story and got something lighter but I feel like this could have been a 5/5 instead of a 3/5!
The Perfect Mrs. Claus by Barbara Matteson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a wonderful read for this time of year! Honestly I will probably reread it through out the year to keep the spirit! The characters are wonderful and the story is so well told that readers cannot put the book down! Lessons can also be learned on how to treat each other.
Hot for Teacher – Shakespeare Made Us Fall in Love by Felicia Carparelli
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a very fun, easy read. That characters were relatable and you could feel their chemistry coming off the pages. I’ve never understood the “Teacher/Student” romance pull but despite the title of this book you could tell there was more meat to the story than just that! I would definitely look into more books by this author!
Defiant Princess by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Amy has written another banger! While I have already read the mafia elite series and loved every single book in it, it was nice to be taken back to the beginning! This book really can be read before or after reading mafia elite, but I enjoyed reading it after to fill in little gaps you think there are in the mafia elite series. You cannot go wrong with any book by Amy.
A Christmas to Remember: An Anthology from 5 Prince Publishing by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I absolutely enjoyed the collection of stories that made this up! Each author was different but each one really brought Christmas through the pages! As I read I decorated my house and let the Christmas spirit envelope me! Each character brought something to the table and each story was long enough to tell readers the story but not too long that it felt drawn out!
Finding Bryce by Debra Parmley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a nice easy fun read. It had a nice story line and great characters but I just felt like something was missing! The story went by so quickly, I think some things could have been expanded on or we could have had more of a story! Overall though very nice, quick, easy read!
I Love You Today by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The second installment of the series did not disappoint! The heat, the passion, the wonderful characters and a story line that leaves readers wanting so much more is just what readers need to keep flipping the page. A touching story with a new spin!
A Crossbow Christmas by Ann Swann
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It was a cute story but very hard for me to get into. I was waiting for that AH HA moment that would hook me in and make the book unable to put down. I usually read to escape real life and this book was very much the here and now! The characters were nice but I really wanted to feel more with this one!
Revenge Honeymoon by K.J. Gillenwater
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book! It was fun and lighthearted without having that vibe of “I’m to old to be reading this”
The characters were fun and had good chemistry! There was a witty banter and enough of a story line to keep readers attention without it being to cheesy! It was a nice change from the heavy things I have been reading lately.
Devlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Forbidden love is what makes it the best love right?!? Or so that’s what our brains tell us, even from a readers standpoint. This book was a great, easy read that kept readers attention from start to finish! The chemistry can be felt coming off the pages and the characters are relatable!
Boss’s Vendetta by Via Mari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
From the moment you open the book and start reading you are hooked! I was able to read this book from start to finish without putting it down and left wanting the next one right away! There cannot be enough good things said about it.
The Warrior by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed reading The Warrior. The author did such a good job of bringing the story to life that it was as if the story played in my head while I flipped from page to page! I literally could not put it down! Its more than your average romance and each twist and turn will leave you wanting more!
You cannot go wrong with these books! Whether reading or listening the author and narrator is so good at keeping the readers attention and telling the story so that the reader is left wanting more. I love that while I have snagged this series every chance I get, these books can be read by themselves or in order. I also love the series that break off from each of these books. 10/10 readers will not be disappointed with any book this author gives us!

A Love Restrained by Becky Flade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this books and plan on finding more from this author!
The characters came to life in my mind so vividly as I read that I felt myself in the story living the plot. The characters were raised polar opposites, but in any good story opposites attract! The story takes enough twists and turns that my attention was kept the whole time and even though I felt like the story was complete I wanted more!

I cannot get enough of these books! The story line is great, the characters are wonderful and readers never want to put the book down.

The characters compliment each other and while we have all read romance before, this is different!
