5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading this anthology. The stories are romantic, steamy, and wonderful to read. Each one has amazing characters that I enjoyed reading about. They come from all different backgrounds. There are also secondary characters in the stories that I enjoyed reading about as well. I love anthologies as I get to read from a wide range of authors. Some I have read other stories by and there are also new authors that I am introduced to. All of the authors have created well-written stories that will have you hooked. I didn’t want to put them down. Don’t miss out on a box set of stories that are romantic and have the temperature in the room rising. I highly recommend this anthology.

Thunder on the Moor
By Andrea Matthews
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Thunder on the Moor by Andrea Matthews. It is a time travel romance that had me hooked from the very beginning. It is a story that includes conflict, romance, family, and danger. I loved the character of Maggie Armstrong. She is an intelligent, independent, feisty, and strong young woman. She follows her father back over four hundred years in the past. What does the future hold for Maggie? Read this book to find out. This story is one that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. Maggie’s journey and experiences are interesting and intriguing to read about. I grew to care about Maggie with each chapter that I read. There are also additional characters that are introduced the I enjoyed reading about. The book has such wonderful detail and descriptions of the places that Maggie is in that I felt like I was right there with her. The author does an amazing job of making the story and the characters come alive. I love books that take me to the past and this story is a good example of the reason why. Don’t miss out on a book that is exciting and entertaining. I highly recommend reading it.

By Stuart Ledwith
5 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading the book The History of the Universe: As My Soul and I Remember by Stuart Ledwith. It is an interesting and intriguing story that I found hard to put down once I started. It is a book that is unlike any that I have read before. It is a story that talks about creation, faith, and love. It takes you on a wonderful journey that is full of information on the evolution/creation of mankind. It also tells about new information on those who were involved in the formation of the universe and their thoughts. The author does a wonderful job of making the story come alive and you can feel the author’s enthusiasm in sharing the information that is contained in the book. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you hooked from the beginning. I would recommend reading this book.

By McKenna Dean
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Bishop’s Gambit (Redclaw Origins Book 2) by McKenna Dean. It is a story that includes mystery and danger. It is a book that had me hooked from the very beginning. I loved the characters of Rhett Bishop and Peter Knight. Rhett is a woman who is intelligent and independent. She is not the type you would think of posing as a housewife. However, that is what her current assignment is. I love that Rhett is someone that takes action when she needs to and can defend herself when need be. I also love her little dog. Peter is a man who at times gets caught up in his work. He does have feelings and an attraction to Rhett. What will Rhett and Peter find in the suburbs? What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. There are twists to the story that I didn’t see coming. The author does an amazing job of making both the story and the characters come alive. I found myself caring about Rhett and Peter with each chapter that I read. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining story that I was not able to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading this book.

Love Surreptitiously
By Tarrah Anders
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders. It is a romantic comedy that I couldn’t put down once I started it. I loved the characters of Sidney Matthews and Quinlan Montgomery. Sidney is a woman who is intelligent, strong, and independent. I like Sidney because she says what she is thinking even if it is a little too honest. There are times in this story that I was smiling or laughing out loud at what she says. Quinlan is a man who is handsome, charming, and doesn’t expect the attraction that he feels for Sidney. He knows what he wants and that is a relationship with her. What does the future hold for Sidney and Quinlan? Will secrets that are being kept end any chance that their relationship will work? Read this book to find out. This story has moments of comedy as well as emotional moments. I grew to care about Sidney and Quinlan with each chapter that I read. There are other characters introduced that I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the story. The author does an amazing job of making the characters come to life. Don’t miss out on a romance story that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading this book
