Daring Ceri (True Platinum #6)Daring Ceri by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fun and engaging story with some red hot characters right in the centre. I love a good enemies to lovers story and this is a great example of that type of story. The surprise wedding and everything that stems from it builds up to be a great book.
This is the sixth book in the series and can be read as a standalone. However, it is definitely worth reading all of these books. This one is well written and exciting to read. I connected with it easily and could not wait to see how things would work out. I would certainly recommend this book.

Beautiful Dangerous (Philly Heat series, #4)Beautiful Dangerous by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is another brilliant addition to this intriguing series and I think it has to be my favourite in the series so far. The story is full of twists and turns and it utterly captivating. I felt like it was never a given as to which way it would all turn out, and that kept me on the edge of my seat.
The characters have undeniable chemistry which draws you in all the more. Hannah and Doyle really made the book for me, adding that icing on the proverbial cake. They each seemed to have so much going on and yet came together convincingly. This is a well written and suspenseful book that is truly enjoyable.

Shadow's Fall (Shadowstalker Series Book 3)Shadow’s Fall by Natalie Johanson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shadows Fall is the third book in the series. I would definitely recommend reading them in order so you get a full understanding of what is happening. However, I didn’t do this and was still able to figure it all out and enjoy the story. This is a great YA fantasy story that is imaginative and well written. You are pulled straight into the story with ease and I could not wait to see what was going to happen.
The characters fit really well with the story. They were original and refreshing and I connected with them immediately. This is a new author to me and I can say for sure that the first thing I will be doing is going back to read the other books in the series.

What We Never Say: Empowering Contemporary Women's Fiction (Bold Journeys Book 2)What We Never Say: Empowering Contemporary Women’s Fiction by Paulette Stout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is an emotional story that touches on a tough and sensitive subject. I really became invested in the story and I think it is because it was the typically female victim. This topic focus was the male main character and the author dealt with it in such a great way. It was believable and you were never led to feeling sorry for the character.
I thought the whole book was really well written and all the characters were intertwined and interesting. This is only the second book that I have read by this author and I am excited to discover more.

This is such a fun and entertaining rom com that really brings home the festive feeling. This is my first Christmas story of the year and it has already got me feeling in the Christmas mood. I loved the characters to this book. They were so well suited and I was drawn to them immediately. I loved the fact that this book isn’t your typical Christmas story. It was refreshing to read something a little different and I think that made me like the book even more. This author isn’t overly familiar to me but this book was a great way to see what they have to offer. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

This is a fantastic addition to an already incredible series. This book is dark and intense and gripping, just like the previous ones in the series. I was hooked the instant I started reading and could not put the book down until I had finished it.
I loved the characters in this book. Their connection, their history. They made the book even more captivating than it was. This author is one that has so quickly become a favourite. Every single book I have read has been incredible and I don’t hesitate to pick up something with their name attached.

Mr Wimp (The Human Mating Site #1)Mr Wimp by B.L. Wilde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fun and unique this series this is going to be, especially if the rest of the series is as good as this book. It is the first in a new series of novellas about a woman who is discovering herself after getting a divorce. The premise of this book hit really close to home for me and I think because of that I connected with the character even more. You can tell, even from this first book, that her journey is going to be entertaining and enlightening. I cannot wait to see how things play out for her.
This book is the first that I have read by this author and I can already tell I am going to be a fan. The writing style made the book come alive and I was pulled into it so easily. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and cannot wait to read the next book.

The Truth About Myths (The Winemakers)The Truth About Myths by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a brilliant historical romance that has so much going on. I thought the characters were perfectly matched. There was such as tug and pull with them and their connection was undeniable. This is a little different to most other historical romances that I have read, and that made it such a refreshing read. I was engaged with story and loved watching it all unfold.
This is a great addition to the series as a whole. The author has a fantastic writing style that drew me in immediately. As a genre I tend to dip in and out of, it is books like this that keep me coming back. I loved this book and cannot wait for more.

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics - A Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons and Humankind's Most Dangerous GameThe Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics – A Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons and Humankind’s Most Dangerous Game by Paul McCarthy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a brilliant overview of nuclear weapons and the impact they have had over the course of history. It is and insightful and interesting book that offers a great perspective. This isn’t usually the type of book that I would go for, but something about it caught my eye and I couldn’t wait to delve into it.
The author has done a great job of splitting the subject up into manageable sections. The initial section was invaluable with the physics refresher it offered. I think it made the whole book much more understandable and easy to digest. This was a different book to my normal go to but I would definitely recommend it.

Heart's Rescue (Hearts Below, #1)Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I didn’t really have any expectations from this book when I started it and I was pleasantly surprised at the great word building and characters I discovered. This is an author who is still fairly new to me but if all of her books are like this then I can’t wait to read more. The characters were complex and had depth to them. They complemented the story line really well and I connected with them easily.
This story was engaging and developed well throughout the book. From the description I thought it might be a little confusing but it was easy to follow, even with a lot going on. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am looking forward to the next.

This book piqued my interested from the moment I read the description. It sounded intriguing and I just had to know what it was all about. I was pulled so easily into the story the author created. It was wll written and paced just perfectly to move the story on.
I really enjoyed the main character, Cam. His past plays such a big factor in the book and it was really interesting to watch his character confront this as he developed. You could see his growth as the book goes on and I found myself liking him more and more. Overall, this book was a really good book and I would highly recommend it.

Wild For Me (Balefire, #3)Wild For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone. However, each of these books are fantastic and I would highly recommend reading them all. The connection between the main characters is undeniable. Their chemistry is evident right from the start and it only seems to grow in strength as the book goes on. There seems to be so much standing in their way, themselves included, that it is hard at times to see how they might get their happy ending.
The story itself is just as good as the others. I was pulled into it straight away and couldn’t wait to see how things would play out. This has been a really strong series overall and I can’t wait to see what is in store for the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I didn’t realise when starting this book it was a Lois Wickstrom one, but it didn’t take me long to figure it out. The writing style is so indicative of the fantastic writing I have come to expect from her. It is intended for a slightly older audience than some of her others books but it was just as imaginative and interesting. This is one that I haven’t yet read to my kids as they are a little young to understand it. However, this is one that I will be keeping in my back pocket for the second they are old enough to enjoy it and appreciate it.
It took me no time at all to get through this book. It was full of interesting characters that added depth and complexity to the story. It was enjoyable and a brilliant read. This is a book that would appeal to all audiences.

I thought the author developed them both really well. You get to know them, their history and see how it influences their present. They are the sort of characters that you really get behind and will them to find their happy ending.
The story is really well written. There was a lot going on and it definitely kept my interest the whole way through. This is the sort of book that you don’t realise just how much of it you have read because it is so easy to get caught up in. This was a great book to read and I would recommend anyone give it a try.

I love how this book combined an intense and interesting thriller with a more modern approach to crime. The incorporation of the dark web into an intriguing crime story made for a really great story. The moments of light heartedness and amusement really gave an extra depth to the book that made it all the more enjoyable.
The characters were easy to connect with and well developed. The more the story went on the more I found them characters I wanted to know about. This is the kind of book that hooks you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go until the end. This is a fantastic story that I would certainly recommend.

This book is a great follow up to the first in the series and is exactly the kind of book that I have come to expect from this author. I was pulled into the book right from the word go and found myself getting lost within the story. the book was full of suspense and I thought the connection and the history between the characters just added to the overall depth.
The book is really well developed. As the story went on I found myself more and more invested. I wanted to see how things would turn out and which direction the author would take it in. This is only the 2nd book in the series and it is already shaping up to be a great one. I am looking forward to book 3.

This is another great addition to this series and yet another brilliant book by this author. It was so easy to reconnect with the main character even though it had been a while since I have read an Eve Sawyer book. This book follows on from book three, although it can be read as a standalone.
This is quite a short story, which is a trait I have come to expect from this author. And yet, even though it is a shorter story, it doesn’t feel like anything is lacking or rushed. I connected with the book immediately and I read it all in one sitting. This is definitely one of my go to authors and I would recommend all of her books.

This is yet another great book to add to a series of great books. It was lovely to reconnect with the characters that we have become so familiar with over time. As usual, it took no time at all to become invested in their story and what was going on. It always feels like you have never been away from these characters each time you pick up a new book.
The story was well written and enjoyable from start to finish. It is rare a series has the longevity like this one and yet the author shows no signs of slowing down. Each book is as good as the others and this one is no exception. This is a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thought this book was as great way to start a new series. It is an interesting take on an ex-military character. I can’t recall another book that it is the female character who was in the military, let alone a sniper. I engaged with the story easily and became invested in the characters pretty quickly. I liked the fact the author didn’t shy away from the PTSD element of the book.
This author is one that I have become recently familiar with and this is another one of her books I can say I thoroughly enjoyed. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the series.

This book is an interesting and intriguing story. And for a Thriller, I thought it had an unusual but likeable focus on the characters and their relationships. It added a depth to the story that I don’t often see in this type of book. I thought the story itself was well written. It was dull of mystery and suspenseful and really knew how to keep the pages turning.
This book can ties in with a series but can easily be read as a standalone..this is a great story that I would recommend reading.

We had already read this book multiple times and I am sure we will be reading if many times more.

It just had to know how things would progress after the previous book. It took no effort to become engaged with this book. I love the characters. I would say they are some of my favourites but that would also apply to every single couple in this series so far.
This author has such a enigmatic and captivating writing style. I love each and every book. They are all completely different yet have the same feel about them. Not only is this one of my favourite series this year, it is only of my favourites overall. I cannot wait until the next book to see how things turn out.

As Though You Were MineAs Though You Were Mine by J. Marie Rundquist

This book is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. I knew just from the description of this book that it was going to be good but it was so much better than expected. I was drawn in by each and everyone of the characters. They were well written and it felt like you were taken on the journey with them. I connected right from the start and wanted to see what the book had in store for them.
This was such an emotional story. Witnessing the children have to go through what they did, and watching the other characters deal with the grief and aftermath was heart breaking. The author did a fantastic job of portraying what it must be like. This is a brilliant book and I would highly recommend it.

This book is a great follow up to the first in the series. This is a YA book, aimed at 9-12 years and follows the chatactrts Frank and Jon. The brothers are fantastic characters and it is easy to see why the intended audience would connect with them. They are fun, exciting and have gifts.
The story itself is full of adventure. It is engaging and entertaining from Page 1. Even though it is not aimed at my age range (by a long shot!) I still found myself really enjoying it. This is a great book and I am looking forward to seeing what the brothers’ next adventure is.
