Mountains Loved (Mountains #3)Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mountains Loved by Phoebe Alexander is the third book in the Mountains series. This book must be read in order as it is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story.
The previous books have been building to everything that happens in this book. We have followed the characters on their journey the whole way through.
This author has done an amazing job of creating such lasting and engaging characters. I was drawn to them and could not wait to read more about them.
I was torn over this book because I couldn’t wait to read it as I had to know what was going to happen. But at the same time I didn’t want this journey to end, I was enjoying it so much.
Phoebe Alexander has easily become one of my favourite authors and this series is the perfect example as to why. If you haven’t read this series already then I cannot stress enough how much you should. This is a fantastic series and one o would highly recommend.

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGYFLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Flowers in December Trilogy by Jane Suen is a heartwarming trilogy of love, family and second chances.
All of these books are so sweet. They are easy to read with characters that you can’t help but love. All three books have a steady pace that allows you, as the reader to lose yourself for a few hours.
Conner and Mary-Ann’s story is emotional and heartwarming. You can see the struggle Conner goes through and you can clearly see the journey both characters undertake.
This is a great series and is one that I enjoyed. It was different from the other work I had read by this author and for me would be a great way to introduce yourself to her work, if you aren’t familiar with it already.

Red Riding HoodRed Riding Hood by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Red Riding Hood (Down The Rabbit Hole) is an anthology by a selection of brilliant authors. They have written a collection of amazing stories, all different versions of a well known classic.
This is the first time I have ever read a collection like this – effectively the same story told in multiple different ways. I honestly didn’t expect to like it at all, there are only so many times you can read the same story after-all. And yet each of these books were so unique that I enjoyed every single one of them.
I had read most of these authors before but it was nice to discover a couple of new ones. I very much enjoyed this anthology and can’t wait to read more of their individual works.

Rockin' It Home (Lawson Family #3)Rockin’ It Home by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rockin’ It Home by Tracey Cramer-Kelly is a Lawson Family Novel. Although it is the third in the series it can easily be read as a stand-alone.
This book does a great job of creating engaging characters. Danielle and Ben were so interesting to read about, each with their own back stories that add depth to the characters.
The story was well written. It had everything you could want from a book of this genre. I easily found myself getting drawn into the words and the journey the characters go on. I always do enjoy work by this author and this book was no exception.

This author is one of those that you always know you will get a good book! It doesn’t matter which one of hers I pick up I always enjoy them all, and this one is no exception.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Irresistible Valentine anthology is a collection of works by some fantastic authors. I have read all of these authors previously and could not wait to get my hands on these stories.
I really enjoyed how these books were all different from each other. They had the same feel and yet there was never a risk of them all “becoming one” as I often find is the issue with anthologies. Each authors voice was distinctive and easy to hear.
The stories were all varied but well developed. There isn’t one that I didn’t like.
This is a great anthology and one that I would recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Black Cat Security by Katerina Ross is an interesting story that is a nice quick read. This is the first book that I have read by this author and while I enjoyed the basis of the story I did think at times it felt like there was something missing.
I think because the book is a novella it felt like the story were a bit rushed. I definitely think it would have benefitted from being a full length novel as the story itself were good and I quite liked the characters. The author clearly has a strong writing style which carried the book forward.
Overall this is a good book and I will definitely read more by this author in the future.

Lisa: Coming is Age by K.M. Lowe is the first book in the Guardian Shifters series. This is an exciting start to a new series and it is one I had enjoyed so far.
This author is a new author to me so I didn’t know what to expect going into it. I almost didn’t read it as shifter stories are starting to feel a little over done but the reviews changed my mind. And I am so glad they did.
This whole book felt refreshing. The story was interesting and certainly gets your attention. It was well developed and I really enjoyed reading about the characters.
As a introduction to this author I was definitely impressed and I am looking forward to reading more in the future.

A Kiss Beneath a Strawberry Moon by Tamara Ferguson is the third book in the Daydreams & Dragonflies Rock ‘N Sweet Romance series. This is a sweet and heartwarming story of two young people trying to overcome difficulties thrown their way.

The story is well paced. It is developed and progressed in the perfect way for what the author was trying to portray. It was easy to get into and I found myself lost in the story. This is a great book and definitely worth reading.

2am Secrets by M. Piper is a brilliant story with strong and interesting characters. This is one of those books where you fall in love with the main characters but you also fall in love with the secondary characters too.
I loved Sadie and Archer. They had that forbidden romance that I am always drawn to and I knew I wanted them to find a way to make things work out.
I really enjoyed this authors writing style as well. It is what initially drew me into the story and caught my attention fully. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brutal and Raw: Mafia Romance and Thriller Psychological Thriller by Sonya Jesus is the first book in the Beneventi Family series. This is an intense and thrilling book.
It felt like for most of this book my heart was absolutely racing. The emotions were so raw and stripped back to the bare bones of what they are about. The characters were so dark and twisted, and yet strong and intriguing. I was drawn into them so easily and they captured my attention for the entirety of the book.
This isn’t my first book by this author but it has to be my favourite one so far. It was a thrilling story and one I didn’t want to end. I cannot wait to read more from this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt is an emotionally charged, incredible story that will complete devour you. I didn’t really know anything about this book before I started reading it. I have read a few books by this author before so know enough to assume it would be good. I was not prepared for the emotions that would be thrown at me and how much I would be captivated by them.
This is a fantastic story, and one that I am glad we are being told. It has a uniqueness that isn’t often found in books of this genre. It has been so well written. You cannot help but connect with the MC and his son. My heart bled for them throughout this book and all o wanted was for them to find their way.
This is an amazing book and easily my favourite by this author so far.

King & Hunt: A Lust / Hate StoryKing & Hunt: A Lust / Hate Story by Brienne Dubh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

King and Hunt: A Lust/Hate story by Brienne Dubh is a quick paced novella that is a brilliant way to pass an afternoon.
Brienne Dubh is a new author to me and I have to say this was a great way to discover her work. Although it is a short story – roughly 100 pages or so – it is a complete story with great, interesting characters and a steamy story. I found myself highly entertained throughout the book and loved the way Christian and Gabrielle interacted with each other.
I’m not a huge fan of novellas as I tend to find I go through them too quickly however it never felt like I was missing out on anything with this book. The author has a good writing style about her and the whole book had the perfect pace. I am already looking forward to reading more by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in the Mountains Series. This does need to be read in order as it is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story.
This book is so emotionally charged. With the way things ended in book one I absolutely had to read this book. I was torn with the direction this book was going in because it wasn’t what I was hoping for and yet I have learnt to trust this author implicitly in her writing.
By the end of the first page I was completely drawn into the book and these characters again. It honestly felt like my heart was ripped apart and patched back together so many times while reading this book. There is so much that I could say about this hook but I won’t because I don’t want to ruin the experience for anyone else.
If you haven’t already picked up this series then I would recommend you doing so immediately!!!

The Rewind Box Set by Rowan Shaw is a fantastic collection of books that are emotional and absolutely captivating. The author has done an amazing job showcasing different characters and relationships.

If this is your style of book then I cannot recommend this series enough.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance by Amy McKinley is part of a Moonlit Destinations series. This book can be read as a stand-alone as it is a complete novella.
I didn’t realise before starting this story that it had a crossover with the authors Gray Ghost series, which is a series I already love. However I soon figured it out and it made this book automatically better.
This book had all the things I have come to expect from this author – intrigue, suspense, action, romance. It hooked me immediately and I couldn’t put it down once I had started. I read the entire book in one sitting. This was a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to see what is to come next.

Scoring Chance by Lane Martin is a novella in the Mile High Miners series. This is the first book in the series and is a brilliant way to draw you into it.
I absolutely loved Rhett and Eden. They each had their flaws that made them the perfect compliment for each other.
Although this book is a novella it is a full length story and it has all the details and the development of a longer book. Lane Martin isn’t an author I am familiar with however after reading this book I will definitely be reading the rest of the series and any other work by this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Flame and The Blade by Meredith Hart is the first book in what appears to be a fantastic new series. It is exciting and unique, well written and designed to pull you in from the start.
This book definitely has more to tell but I loved getting to know these characters. They were entertaining in more ways than one. I liked the fact the author didn’t just rely on the action and the fantasy for the book, it had so much more about it.
The story was well developed too. The pace was perfect, just building up and building up. You don’t realise just how much you are involved in the book until suddenly it is over and you are wanting to read the next book. I can’t wait to see what else is to come from this series!

Before the Second Show by Thia Finn is a stand-alone book that will completely immerse you in its tale.
This book is absolutely amazing!!! Emmy and Alex are the perfect kind of broken that just draws you in and makes you want to learn about every little thing. The fact that they aren’t these “perfect people” is really what caught my attention. While I might not love a rockstar life it made me feel like I could be going through the same thing as them at anytime:
The story was brilliant as well. It had such a depth to the writing that you could picture everything so clearly. This book has been fantastically written and I hope we get to see more from these characters!!

In Other Words by Pamela Q. Fernandes is the first book in the Boothbay Harbor series. This is a well written book that is a strong start to a new series.
Having read a few books by this author I knew to expect a great book, which is exactly what I got. The book was highly emotional from start to finish. It felt like you were taken on the journey with Trish.
The book had an even pace about, not rushed or intense but a slow build of the story. It worked well for this type of book and the emotional rollercoaster it takes you on.
I very much enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to book 2.

Call of the Alpha by Brooke May is the second book in the Powder River Pack series. The only way to describe this book is simply amazing. I enjoyed the first book in the series so knew this one should be good. However I never expected it to blow all expectations out of the water.
Rylie and Mason have become two of my favourites characters ever. The force of their connection was palpable! There wasn’t a second I was reading about them where I couldn’t feel it!
I have read a few books by this author now and hands down this is my favourite one so far – I honestly don’t know how she will ever manage to top this although I will definitely be willing to read more of her work to see if she can. I would highly recommend this book!!

The Jakes Wolfe series by Mark Nolan is an exciting and fast paced series that will definitely keep you reading from beginning to end.
This box set includes the first three books of the series and, if you haven’t read them already, it is a great way to introduce yourself to it. The series follows Jake Wolfe, the intriguing and utterly fascinating protagonist who is sure to draw you in to the books and not let you go.
Each of these books had a great story. None of them relied on one of the others to keep the pace and developed. They are all great books on their own. Once I had started this series I really struggled to put it down. The stories were all so exciting – the story lines were amazing and I love reading about Jake!
For any fan of this genre I would definitely recommend giving these books ago!

Mountains Wanted by Phoebe Alexander is the first book in the Mountains Wanted series. This is the start of yet another fantastic series by one of my favourite authors.
When I started this book I knew that I had to set aside the whole afternoon as once I picked it up I would not be able to put it down. I was hooked immediately with this book, drawn in to the stories and the characters.
The characters did work well together and I liked the development you could see between them. At first their relationship was a little awkward but it became so much more. I really enjoyed seeing this instead to two perfectly made people.
The story had enough romance and action to keep it interesting and fast paced. It was a brilliant start to the series and I cannot wait for the next one.

Landing the Lawman (Hills of Texas, #5)Landing the Lawman by Kadie Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Landing the Lawman by Kadie Scott is the fifth book in the Hills of Texas series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although personally I think all these books are worth reading.
As usual when I picked up this book I found myself reading a sweet and heartwarming story. This book is about the final Hill sibling, Carter, a character that I definitely loved. Her connection with Logan is lovely to read about. They have such a believable chemistry that made the book even better.
The story was a well written one, developed well with a great pace to it. I easily found myself lost in the story and it was such a fun read.
I have loved this series from the start and, although I am sad to see it end, I am please with how the author tied it all up. This definitely worth a read and one I will certainly go back to in the future.
