Be One with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs, #2)Be One with Me by C.A. Miconi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Be One With Me is the second book in the Finding Love in Green Springs series by CA Miconi. The story opens with Sally losing her mother to cancer which leaves her alone in the world, or so she thinks. Her mother’s dying wish is for Sally to find her long lost father, who Sally believed to be dead all this time. Shortly after her mother’s death Sally is mugged in a parking garage near her business in Chicago. The knowledge of her living father and the need to not be alone drive Sally to make some major life changes. Nolan is a small town mechanic shop owner who has lost his wife to cancer. When this country boy crosses paths with the city girl Sally, sparks start to fly. Nolan enjoys their casual banter but can two polar opposites be good for each other? This novel was a heartwarming romantic novel. I loved watching the strong, independent Sally, who thought it was her against the world, start to put her guard down to let her new family and friends in. I also enjoyed watching Nolan start to open up to the possibility that there could be another woman in the world for him besides his late wife. This story was the perfect balance of emotions; there were sparks, there were laughs, there were fights, and there were tears. I look forward to reading other novels in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Matchmaker and The Marine: A Second Chance Small-Town Romance by Lucinda Race is a beautifully written romance novel that I didn’t want to end! Melinda Phillips is the town matchmaker who has a great track record, many of her couples have ended up marrying each other. However, she has sworn never to date again after losing her husband so she strives to find true love for her clients. That is until she encounters the most handsome Marine at a client’s wedding. Adam Bell is a retired Marine due to an injury he got while serving. Not only did he end up losing his leg but his girlfriend couldn’t cope with his new norm and left him. Adam can’t help but feel that if he lets anyone know his secret they will take pity on him. As a friendship begins between Melinda and Adam, they can’t help but wonder if they are each other’s second chance at happiness. This novel was so refreshing to read. The friendship that was created between Melinda and Adam was so innocent and sweet yet such a struggle. They learned to accept the past and move forward with their new lives. It was such a heartwarming novel to read that I truly didn’t want it to end. This was a romance novel that wasn’t full of sexy scenes and dirty talk, and honestly, I didn’t miss it one bit.

Grace's GhostsGrace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson. A young girl named Grace has a best friend Midnight, who happens to be a ghost. All of Grace’s friends are ghosts but she really doesn’t mind, anything is better than the kids at school. Grace finds out that her town, Tansy, is under a curse. If Grace figures out how to break the curse she could risk losing Midnight and all of her friends. I loved this book because I feel that it could speak to a lot of kids around Grace’s age. Many kids have a hard time fitting in and Grace shows how to embrace being different. All the characters were really likable, especially Grace, the story line was well developed, and as an adult I was kept interested throughout the whole story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Girl Trap is the third book in The Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton. Madeline Dawkins is an event planner and private investigator in Southern California. Madeline and her partner Mike Delaney must work on two cases that seem fairly straightforward at first. While Madeline investigates an estranged heiress in San Luis Obispo, Mike is on his way to Los Angeles to look for his cousin’s missing girlfriend and her sister. They are both about to uncover a terrifying world where the criminals will stop at nothing to keep what they have. Cynthia Hamilton writes yet another thrilling mystery in this series. The author does a wonderful job portraying two different mysteries at the same time. There are difficult topics discussed in this book, such as sex trafficking and mental illness, but the author does so in a tasteful way. I have thoroughly enjoyed this novel and look forward to the last story in the series.

Bottomed Out is the fourth book in the Moto X series by Brooke May. This was a wonderful story between Jax Hunt and Lennox Austin.

Jax was a true inspiration and it was a great story of his personal growth. There was laughter, there were tears, and there were true heartwarming moments as I experienced the relationship of Jax and Lennox.

Satan's Devils MC Boxset Books 1-5Satan’s Devils MC Boxset Books 1-5 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Satan’s Devils MC Boxset 1 Books 1-5: Brothers protecting their own is a wonderfully written MC series by Manda Mellett. Like other MC books, these stories are full of the sexy, hot, dominant men that deal with day to day club tasks. What I really like about this series is that each story deals with deeper issues, some that wouldn’t expect alpha males to deal with. Another great thing about this series is that each story can be read on their own but they are the best when reading one after the other.

My favorite story out of box set is Drummer’s Beat. Drummer is the president of the Satan’s Devils MC. He hasn’t been able to find an old lady…until Sam. Same broke down on the side of the road and Drummer helped her. Sam claims she is the daughter of Viper, but they all know he can’t have kids so Drummer is skeptical. When Sam is taken by sex trafficking ring, Drummer is determined to find her and claim her before it’s too late. One of the reasons I enjoyed this book the most is because of how the author deals with such a real life issue, sex trafficking. The chemistry between Drummer and Sam is another reason why I loved this story.

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman is another wonderfully written novel. As with her other novels, this one flowed right from the last novel, but can be read on it’s own as well. I love how the author is able to pack such raw, beautiful, and real emotions into her characters. While reading this story I couldn’t help but think back to my own college days as I read of Leda’s college experience. There are so many ways I could relate to Leda, through her uncertainties, her willingness to find happiness, her drive to succeed in college, her unsure love life. It was such a beautiful story to read and I look forward to reading more books by this author and in this series.

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (The Italian Saga, #4)Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (Italian Teens, novel 2, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman was a beautifully written novel about a crucial moment in Leda’s teenage life. Based in Italy during the 1990’s, the story starts when Leda was 15. She is in a relationship with her best friend Nico. Nico doesn’t have the best track record and everyone sees him as a bad boy, but not Leda. She is crazy about him and claims he has changed for her. Obviously he’s eager to be with her intimately but Leda isn’t sure if she’s ready for her first time. Questions and worry start filling her head.

I truly felt for Leda through this novel, going through teenage years is never easy, especially as a woman. So many questions and uncertainty and then you throw boys into the mix. I loved Leda for her fierce, head strong personality. Even though this novel deals with very real and emotional topics, teenage sex, insecurities, and eating disorders, the author did it in a very tasteful way. I’m sure many teenage girls could see aspects of this novel in their own lives, and they might even learn a thing or two about themselves along the way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Life’s a Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. The story opens with Crimson in a lot of trouble. She’s on trial for a spell that went wrong and the punishment is having her powers bound for eternity. Crimson’s last resort is to challenge the high priestess to a battle…of magic…which is a huge issue for Crimson. None of her spells seem to go right, but it’s her only option. Maybe her adopted father, who’s an angel, can help her out with a miracle. Then there is the oh so charming demon Mike Cortez, who is trying to strike yet another deal with the Devil. The Devil is looking for a new assistant, and Mike knows just the witch for the job. Problem is, he isn’t sure he is willing to give up Crimson and damn her to a life with the Devil. The two must work together if they are to save Crimson. This story, as well as others in this series, are a true balance of paranormal, romance, and comedy. I love how the author puts such a comedic spin on a genre that is often portrayed as scary or terrifying. And who doesn’t love a good love story, even if it’s among witches and demons.

Hawk's Cry (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #2)Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hawk’s Cry: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #2 by Manda Mellett caught me completely by surprise. I thought I was getting a typical MC novel, but was pleasantly surprised. This story was about Hawk, or Eli, and his struggles. Hawk is VP of the Satan’s Devils MC, married to the love of his life, and has a child on the way. But he starts having doubts, is this really what he wants out of his life or was he just bred for this? Being a spitting image of his father, the ex-president of the club, it was always assumed Hawk would follow in his father’s footsteps. Maybe citizen life is better, where he can have a life of his own. But if he leaves, he will never be able to come back.

This story was refreshing to read. Though it dealt with some heavy content, I think it is important to bring light to mental health issues that everyone deals with. Depression and panic attacks do not discriminate and many times people don’t know how to rationally cope with these issues. Hawk began doubting himself, his life, and his choices. He didn’t know if he could live up to pressure and thought the only way to fix them was to get out. This story was a wonderful read and I look forward to reading other books by this author.

When Trace Thibodeaux, a werewolf, bites Sophie she has to prove her innocence against his pack to save herself from becoming a werewolf. Trace is trying to prove that Sophie is the one who cursed his pack, but romance starts to get in the way. This book was full of humor and romance, just the perfect blend to make a wonderful story.

But you can’t really blame her, with Jack’s passion for music and his rockstar look, who wouldn’t fall for him. Then there is his relationship with his daughter Mariana, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him myself. I found myself rooting for Claire and Jack as they faced bumps along their road of a relationship. The author did a wonderful job describing each character and making the overall storyline flow.

The main character Lisa faces so many challenges and uncertainties, but her character remains strong. She relies on those around her, her adopted family, her best friend Marcus, and his father Jasper, to help her get through discovering a world that was completely new to her. Lisa and Marcus’s relationship was truly special. They shared a bond from childhood and then fell in love with each other. Marcus is so protective of Lisa because they are soul mates. They seem unstoppable, but they face some challenges that would rock any relationship. I really enjoyed reading Lisa’s journey as she explored a new part of her life and I look forward to reading other stories in this series.

Rockin’ It Home: a Lawson Family Novel is the third book in the Lawson Family series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly. I absolutely loved this romantic story, it was full of romance, struggles, and triumphs. Benjamin Lawson is an up and coming rockstar from a small town in Minnesota. He lives for the stage and his daughter but has demons from his past that could jeopardise his future success, both professionally and romantically. Danielle de Luca gets hired to be Benjamin’s personal assistant, even though she is hesitant of the position she can’t say no to the money. Danielle begins to break down the walls that Benjamin puts up and becomes the one person he can rely on in the crazy world of stardom. Danielle struggles with her own past demons, which is why I think Danielle and Benjamin compliment each other so well.

I couldn’t help but root for Benjamin and Danielle as they discovered their friendship, and more. I loved watching the two main characters help each other work through very real situations. It was a pleasure to read how family-centric both Benjamin and Danielle were. I like this story so much I was able to read this book cover to cover in just a few hours.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

King & Hunt: A Lust/Hate Story by Brienne Dubh is exactly that, a story full of lust and hate. It is a perfect balance between Christian Hunt and Gabriella King, who have known each other for years. They are notorious for being hateful towards each other, but one birthday party starts to change all that. They have a hard time getting back into their hateful ways. I absolutely loved this story. It was a super quick read that I couldn’t put down. There was humor and plenty of steamy scenes that kept me reading. I highly recommend reading this story!
