My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen is a great story with strong characters. It is a quick fun read that have you cursing and loving the characters at the same time.
This is definitely the type of book that, if you have a free afternoon, you can pass the time easily. You are drawn into the story effortlessly and definitely engage with the characters. At times I found the switch in POV to be a little unclear however for the most part it was easy to keep up with everyone and I liked that we saw things from both sides.
I haven’t read too much by T. Christensen yet however the bits I have read have piqued my interest enough to know I want to explore more of her work in the future.

Protecting His Heart (Lawson Family, #2)Protecting His Heart by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Protecting His Heart: A Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly is the second book in the Lawson Family Series. This book is emotional and heart wrenching while also being sweet and loving.
When I read the first book I knew the series was shaping up to be good and this book does everything to keep this going. I found this one to be more emotional than the first and I think that is due to the subject matter. I connected with these characters in a completely different way to the first book.
The story had great depth to it as well. I was drawn in immediately and it really felt like I was there with everyone. I knew what I wanted to happen with the book but really was sure how the author would go about getting there. The whole book was well paced and written brilliantly. I really cannot wait to see what else is to come from this series.

My Life Series Box Set: Prequel to Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone is an exciting and fast paced series.

This was the first series that I have read by this author and it really was a strong way to start. She knows exactly when to hold back a little and when to push the story forward. All the books had a great pace and the right amount of development throughout. This was a brilliant series and a series that is worth trying.

Lavender FieldsLavender Fields by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lavender Field by Natalina Reis is one of those books that will capture your heart with fantastic characters.
Natalina Reis is an author that I have slowly become familiar with over the past year and is an author that I have grown accustomed to being slightly unpredictable in her work. Every book I read by her is completely different to the last one I read which helps to keep her work refreshing.
I loved the story of this book. Sky and Caleb were such loveable characters. It felt like you went on their journey with the right from the start. The author creates a vivid picture of them so it is easy to picture being there with them.
I thought there was also great story development. The first chapter did everything it needed to in capturing my attention and the resulting pace of the book was perfect. I definitely enjoyed this book and can’t wait to delve more into this authors work.

When I read the previous book in this series I knew it was going to be a hard task to beat it as I enjoyed it so much and yet from the moment I read the blurb of this book I knew Miss O’Dey was certainly going to impress again.
This book was definitely about the strong characters, Becca especially. Their history together made their chemistry even stronger and more believable. It was brilliant to see the difference between them. The overall story felt intriguing from the start and drew me in instantly. This has been a fantastic series and I really cannot wait to see what else is to come.

This is clearly the start of yet another amazing series from this author and I am already excited for book 2!

A Dark Sparrow Boxset by India Kells is a series about six brothers and the ties of family.
Each of these books is about a different brother however I personally would recommend you reading them in order as the characters development from the author is brilliant. It would give you a more complete experience.

The stories are all exciting and fast paced. You are drawn into them so easily and simply cannot put them down. You should do yourself a favour and buy this boxset today.

Elemental Fae Academy: Book Two (Elemental Fae Academy #2)Elemental Fae Academy: Book Two by Lexi C. Foss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elemental Fae Academy: Book 2 by Lexi C. Foss and J.R. Thorn is the brilliant second book in an amazing trilogy. You do need to have read the first book in order to fully appreciate this one.
We are taken back into the world that Claire found herself part of in book 1. She has started to embrace her new world when new obstacles are thrown in her way. The authors have down a great job in making it almost feel like you are picking right up from where you left off last time. It was so easy to fall back into Claire’s story.
The Fae are as intriguing and fantasy inducing as they ever were. I loved how they are all different from each other and yet all equally as likeable.
This has been a brilliant series so far as I can’t wait to read book 3!

Friend: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow is the third book in the What Happens on Campus series.
Yet again this author has written a book that is not only engaging and interesting but has brilliant characters. Out of all the books I have read by her this one has to be my favourite so far! I loved the connection between Jet and Terri and I loved watching his understanding grow over his feelings towards her. It was also great to see how Terri developed over the course of the book and how her experience gave her a new type of understanding.
Yes this is a book that could have triggers for some people however in my opinion the author handled it perfectly. This is a fantastic book and one I cannot recommended d highly enough.

The Bad Twin by Avery Scott is a fun and sexy read. I have always loved books with a mistaken identity in them and this one was definitely a good one. Avery Scott has created characters that are not only fun and entertaining but ones that are also hot and have great chemistry.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ailey of Skye by Wendy Hewlett is a highly emotional book that will easily have you invested in the characters. This book is the first one that I have read by this author so I really didn’t know what to expect. The blurb was intriguing. It hinted at mystery and drama with a great storyline. The book definitely lived up to that.
I found it so easy to be drawn into the character of Ailey. She has such a depth and complexity about her. The way the author portrayed her really made her feel “normal”. She could have been anyone of us which made the whole story seem more real.
I really engaged with the authors writing style. It was well paced and developed the story well. This was a great book and a brilliant way to be introduced to this author.

Rebel Jewel by Natalina Reis is the third book in the Jewel Chronicle series. You do really need to be read the first two books in this series as it is a continuation of the story. You would miss out on a lot if you did not read them.
With everything the last two books built up to you knew this one would be fantastic. These characters have been through so much and to watch them have to go through even more was heartbreaking. I was desperate for them to find a way through.
This author has such a great writing style. It ebbs and flows perfectly. She even throws in a few surprises for along the way. This has been a brilliant series and one I would definitely recommend you read.

Miami Days Havana NightsMiami Days Havana Nights by Linda Bennett Pennell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Miami Days, Havana Nights by Linda Bennett Pennell is a brilliantly told tale of history mixed with the present day.
After the first book I didn’t know what the author could do to progress this series. I was intrigued to see what else was to come. What she has produced is simply a work of art.
The way each chapter jumps between the two timelines is so effortless. The issue with this method is that a lot of authors struggle to keep the story straight and not too complicated and yet Linda Bennett Pennell does it with ease. You never feel overwhelmed or confused. Each character’s story is so strong you can clearly tell them apart.
The book has a great depth to it and I found it surprising at just how compelling I found it. This is a very very good book and one I would highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Virtue and Vice by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in the Spicetopia series. This book can be read as a standalone but Phoebe Alexander is one of those authors I would recommend you read everything of.
I loved the whole premise of this book. Who wouldn’t want an adult dream world to get lost in? This book is the perfect example of a fantasy brought to life through written pages. I found myself getting utterly lost in everything the author wrote. The characters just brought it to life even more.
Phoebe Alexander is one of those authors who seems to be able to turn her hand to everything. I have yet to read a book by her that I haven’t loved, and it definitely doesn’t start with this one. This is an absolute must read for everyone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rogue Wave by Gwyn McNamee is the second book in the Inland Seas series. If you haven’t read anything by this author before then I cannot stress enough that you need to change that. And this series is the perfect way to do it.
Gwyn McNamee can only be described as a pure artist. Everything she writes is perfect. It has the right amount of action and suspense, off set with romance and passion. Her characters are strong and relatable. They draw you into the story so fully that you are engrossed without even trying. That for me is what made this book so amazing. Cutter and Valentina were brilliant. The charisma and the chemistry they had both popped off the pages.
The book had the right pace to it as well. The author knew when to push it forward and knew when to draw back to let the story tell itself. This is yet another 5* read from this author and I cannot wait to see what else will be next.

  1. The Fishermen Xing Lines by Rebel Nicks O’Dey is the second book in the Fisher Men series. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
    Straight off I have to say just how much I loved the uniqueness of this story. For the two main characters to already technically live together but take so long to meet is a brilliant and inventive way of writing a book.
    The characters are also great to read about. They are witty and have a great chemistry between them. I quite often found myself laughing out loud at whatever they were doing. This is so far a great series to with this book being my favourite.View all my reviews

This book was just as good as book one. From the moment I started reading I found myself transported back into the tale of the trains and the lives of the children. I was just as engrossed as the first time round, even though I knew a bit more about it all this time.
This is the type of book that you find yourself becoming emotionally invested in so easily. The author paints such a vivid picture that you can imagine you are there amongst them all. I would definitely say if you haven’t done so already then you need to go and read this series.

Tangles by Sharleen Scott is a highly emotional book about one persons fight with Alzheimer’s and another’s fight to discover more about the past.
This is one of those books that I found really resonated with me. I think because it involves an issue that is so prevalent nowadays and really does effect a lot of people. The way the author weaves this story is brilliant. She really makes you feel you are on the journey with them. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Logan and what he was having to go through.
The story was such an easy one to fall into as well. I was drawn into the book and couldn’t put it down. This really is well written and a book I would definitely recommend.

This was definitely a strong follow up to the previous books as well. Nicole Banks has a way of crafting such a detailed and interesting story that you find yourself getting lost in them. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.
