The anthology Love, Christmas – Movies You Love (The Holiday Series Book 2) are wonderful stories that I loved reading. The stories are all different lengths however the romance and spirit of Christmas shines through with each one I read. There are so many different authors that I have never read stories by and I found that I enjoyed the different writing styles. Those are the main reasons that I love anthologies so much. There are heartwarming and romantic moments that I loved reading about. I enjoyed reading about the characters, how they interact with each other and the role each one of them has in the stories. Starting each story that I read was like unwrapping a different present under the tree. There are moments that make you go “Aww” and also times when I got misty-eyed. Each story that I read was wonderfully written and ones that I would recommend. A cup of hot chocolate and a plate of cookies are recommended when you settle down on the couch to read this anthology.

By: Jesikah Sundin and Claire Luana
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Fifth Knight: An Arthurian Legend Reverse Harem Romance (The Knights of Caerleon series Book 1) by Jesikah Sundin and Claire Luana is a medieval/fantasy book. It is a story that hooks you in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I love fantasy books as they spark my imagination and I find myself lost in the pages of the story. I loved reading about the character of Fionna. She is a fierce and talented warrior. She is also independent and stubborn. She is forced into a course of action to save her father and sister. That action will have her stealing a faerie sword from a king. She is unprepared for what happens next. I also enjoyed reading about Arthur Pendragon and his sword brothers Lancelot, Galahad, and Percival. These four have a strong bond between them and I loved hearing them playfully banter back and forth with each other. Lancelot is one that has feelings for guilt and also a secret that he keeps. Arthur is a man of honor and believes that all that is happening in the Kingdom of Caerleon is his burden to bear. These brothers are all shocked and surprised when the fifth knight that Merlin has spoken of turns out to be Fionna. That the brothers and she are attracted to each other is undeniable. Their thoughts frequently turn toward each other. Is Fionna as the fifth knight the key to breaking the curse on the Kingdom of Caerleon? Fionna feels conflicted as she has to choose between betraying the king and knights that she has feelings for and saving her family. What will she do? Read this book to find out. This is a story that does have passion and romance included. There is also magic, enchantments, and danger. There is one that has their own selfish plans and will do anything to achieve them. The story is told from the POV of several of the characters. This is a wonderfully written story that had me turning pages to find out what happens next as well as rooting for the success of Fionna, Arthur, and the knights. This is the first book in a series and I look forward to reading further stories.

What happens when Kennedy meets someone and finds out that not all things in life have a control button, like the way that she feels when she meets someone unexpectedly? I found myself identifying with Kennedy about the way she feels about herself after she has lost weight. Is it possible that she may have substituted one set of insecurities for another? Kennedy’s story is also one that is at times humorous and I had a smile on my face. She and the unexpected one that she meets banter back and forth and I loved reading about their interactions with each other and those that they call friends. Read this book to find what happens between Kennedy and the one she unexpectedly meets and feels at home with. This is a wonderfully written story that I highly recommend reading.

The story NEVERLAND by Melissa Jane is a book that I enjoyed reading and found that once I started it I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It is a story that includes one characters obsession and need for control and another character daily life that includes fear. It is a book that is suspenseful and had me wondering what was going to happen next. It is a story that has characters that I loved and those that I would call evil and cruel. One of the characters that I loved is the main female character. She is one that I could empathize with what she goes through on a daily basis. One of the other characters is a man that can be called a monster and a bully. He is cold and calculating. My emotions were going up and down the entire time I read this story. It is a book that shows the dark side of life and at times can be heartbreaking. There are also scenes that are about friendship. This is a wonderfully written story. I found myself thinking about it even after I had finished reading it. The book does include scenes that have situations of a sensitive nature.

Will he be able to stop an evil/sadistic killer before another victim is claimed? Read this book to find out. I felt empathy for Petrosky as he is someone that believes that he has failed those he cares for. While he can be sarcastic at times or just plain cranky, he is trying to cope with pain that for him never goes away. It is also enjoyable to read about the characters that care about Petrosky. They are ones that he can always depend on even when he finds his life off track or tumbling downward. There are moments in this book that are intense and suspenseful. I had to remind myself to breathe. It also had my emotions going up and down like a rollercoaster. This is a book I would highly recommend reading. I can’t wait to read the next story in the series.

Our Unexpected Hope
By: Michelle Sullivan
5 out of 5 stars

The story Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that I loved reading and I didn’t want to put down until I had finished the last page. It draws you in from the very beginning and I was hooked. It is a story that takes you on an emotional journey and I found myself believing in true love and soulmates. It is a book that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. It had my emotions going up and down as I felt my way through. I loved reading about Quinn and Noah. Quinn is a woman who is a romantic. She is beautiful, kind, and loving. She is sure that when the right man comes along that she will be able to tell he is the one. She has found herself very attracted to Noah. Noah is the head chef for a restaurant. Something he is proud of. Noah has never really felt the love of a family to call his own. He, however, knows that Quinn is someone special and wants to get to know her. This story/journey is a beautiful one. Life sometimes hands you the unexpected. I grew to love both Quinn and Noah with each chapter that I read. They are both amazing characters that you can root for and want them to be happy. This is a book that had me with a smile on my face and also tears in my eyes. It is one of those stories that stays with you and I found myself thinking about long after I had finished. It is a book that you will not want to miss out on and one I highly recommend reading.

The Only One (The Brothers of Camelot Book 1)
By: Necie Navone
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Only One (The Brothers of Camelot Book 1) by Necie Navone is a romance book that I loved reading. It is an amazing story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Drake and Isabella. Drake, who is also known as Fitz, is a man that has casual hook-ups. He doesn’t do relationships or have attachments to women. There has only been one girl who he has ever given his heart to. What would happen if the two of them meet again? Isabella is a woman who is strong, independent, and runs a successful business. She is also stubborn, sassy, and sarcastic. She is someone who can stand up for herself. She still thinks of Drake. Both Drake and Isabella were best friends since the day they meet when only children. He holds on to his memories of her. Even though so much time has passed since they have seen each other is there a chance that these two could rekindle their long-lost love? Read this book to find out. This is a story about the strong bonds of family and friends. It also had me believing in true love. There are scenes that warm your heart and others that had me with a smile on my face. The interactions between the characters can get quite humorous and at times sarcastic. I enjoyed reading about the strong bonds that tie some of the characters together and how they constantly tease one another. There is a feeling of family and also that any of them would go to any lengths to protect one other. This story also has some very steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. This is a wonderfully written book with amazing characters. I highly recommend reading it.

The Boss
By: Abigail Owen
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Boss by Abigail Owen is a paranormal romance book that I loved reading. I have always loved shifters and dragon shifters are right up there at the top. They are strong, passionate, and protective. This story drew me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Finn Conleth and Delaney Hamilton. Finn is a dragon shifter that vows never to attempt to mate again. A tragedy in the past has made him guard his heart and he will not take that risk again. Then Finn meets Delaney. I like Finn as he is a strong leader. He has strong bonds with his team. It is sad to read about how the past haunts him. Delaney is an intelligent, strong, and independent woman. She also knows that she has failed to escape the freak/suspicious fires that had caused her to move across the country. She knows that she needs help. Even though they just met she has a strong feeling that she can trust Finn. Will he and his team of enforcers be able to stop the one who is starting the fires and keep Delaney safe? Finn and Delaney both feel an attraction towards each other. There is the warm feeling when they touch and there is sparks/electricity that flows between them. He is very protective of her. What they start is a casual hook up, a physical relationship. Will it stay that way? These two have a desire for one another and there is passion between them. What does the future hold for Finn and Delaney? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has action scenes and at times had me wondering what was going to happen next. It does a wonderful job of providing details about the dragon shifters and their culture. There are also many other characters that are introduced, and I enjoyed reading about their part in the story and their interactions with Finn and Delaney. This is an amazing story that I highly recommend reading.

Joker’s Fool (Satan’s Devils MC)
By: Manda Mellett
5 out of 5 stars

The story Joker’s Fool (Satan’s Devils MC) by Manda Mellett is a book that truly loved reading. It is a story that draws you in from the very beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the final page. The story is the next in the series regarding the Satan’s Devils and is one that not only at times had me turning pages to find out what happens next, it also took me on a journey into the lives of the two main characters. They are both a part of Satan’s Devils. Being part of an MC is important to both of them and not something that is just given up. The club is a home and those there are brothers who would each give their lives for each other if they had to. I have always loved that those in an MC are like family. Trust and loyalty is important. One of the main characters in this story has a secret that he guards well. In this story, you can feel the doubts, fears, and anguish that this character goes through. I found myself loving to read about both him and Lady’s Man with each chapter that I read. They become characters that I could cheer for. While both the main characters are tough men they also have another side to them. This book also describes life in the MC and the lives of the other members and the ones that they love. This story includes both heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. My emotions were constantly going up and down like a rollercoaster. This is a wonderfully written book that I would highly recommend reading.
