Saved by Love (Bellevue Bullies #7)Saved by Love by Toni Aleo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Whew! That was an emotional journey! Mental Health is a subject that can be touchy. This author did a wonderful job pulling me into the characters which then immersed me into their story. I enjoyed learning about the angst and stress these characters lived under and tried to overcome. Meeting the families add all the fun into the story but then as families do they add pressure and different stress to the main characters.

Overall there are many reasons to like and enjoy this story. I loved the two main characters and all they overcome. Saved by Love is the perfect title for this book. Give it a shot and prepare to be shocked and surprised.

What an adorable story! So much sweetness, love and wonderful characters! I really enjoyed all the ups and downs of the storyline. This is filled with fun times, uncertainty and a few secrets.

This is set in a cute small town. Small town stories are filled with quirky charming characters. This one is no exception and has strong sexy men and their kind sassy women who most have had their own happy endings. That makes for some good guys nights as women get togethers.

This story flowed along at a quick pace. I read it in about twenty four hours. I would read more from this author and series.

So so delightful! The story and the characters are full of love, tears and just moving forward in life. The main storyline does have a few harder issues but it blends in perfectly with the story and doesn’t overshadow the true reason. I admire the strength of Corrie! She impressed the heck out of me! She is a “just do it” woman. Going back to the farm was fun for me as well. Its a reminder of all the things that can go wrong but don’t let it overshadow the good too. When she is eating that tomato from the gardern—I could taste the freshness and its a reminder of why farmers farm.

Overall this was a quick read as I struggled to put it down. All the characters from the main ones to the secondary were perfect and memorable. This is a wonderful story

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a doozy of a story! My heart was breaking and aching for Chains. In here we find out what happened to him and can he be fixed or redeemed. I enjoyed reading this second part of the duet. I really felt for Chains during this story. This took me on a lot of ups and downs and is highly emotional.

I enjoy how this is told from different points of view. We get to catch up with all the characters and see their thoughts and feelings on Chains’ recent problems. We also meet a lot of other new secondary characters. I would be interested in a couple spin off as we meet a few other MC

This is the second half of the story of Chains, Winnie and Jackson. I suggest reading the whole series as we meet all the characters in previous books. If not that… at least read the first book of this duet. This is a darker story and not for the faint of heart.

Overall it is a perfect conclusion for these three characters. I loved how the story flowed along nicely. I read it very quickly as I became invested in their lives. I was particularly interested in what Wild would end up doing. He was such a interesting random character.

I'm Not Your Difference (Fitz, #4)I’m Not Your Difference by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a Story! Not what I expected! This series just keep getting better and better! I loved how this one brought out the emotions! I was sickened, enraged and saddened. Oh there are good times but the main story..at times I just wanted to cry. I have many…many sections highlighted as there is much wisdom in here.

This is the fourth book in the Fitz Series. While it could be read as a stand alone I would highly recommend reading the series in order. The reason is that the characters are given to the reader in bits and pieces. Through the stories they each show up and the family grows larger with additions.

We have previously met Stephen and Andy. I adored them and was devastated at how Stephen acted. Now he is back and wants Andy to forgive and forget. I admire the backbone that Andy has in this story. His life has not been easy but luckily he has the love of a great family.

Fitz and his team or family have really outdone themselves in here. I am still reeling from all the trauma and suspense that happened in here. It is an honor to hang out with Fitz and his family/friends.

I look forward to more from this author!

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great story! I admit I have not read many alien stories because I felt they wouldn’t appeal to me. I think that is why this one surprised me so much. The actual storyline is so full of action that half the time I forgot this was an alien world. As for the characters they are amazing! Mia is unbelievably strong! Mental and physical. She just really stole the show! I loved her attitude and strength! Castor was something else. His fighting skills, kindness and loyalty are what impressed me about him the most.

This is the second book in the series and I gather a lot of excitement happened in book 1. We do happen to see the characters from that story. I have not read it and this one does well as a standing alone. I am pleased that I took a chance on this story. While I love romance this has a lot more suspense and drama. That made me turn the pages quicker and quicker. I would read more in this series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This story is told basically day by day for the first and second half. I really struggled with that. It just became boring to me reading about the mundane everyday life stuff. I wish it had moved along at a better clip. I really enjoyed the idea of the story. The coincidences these two have and how they met are intriguing and deserve a story. The characters are built nicely but I did not love them. The connection just got overridden by the storyline. His family is a dream! I enjoyed them all and they added some fun to the story.

I did love that cover which is what made me give this one a shot.

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection, #2)Truth or Kill by A.C. Kramer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is quite the story! It has a few dark elements but what I loved the most is the idea of this story. It really threw me for a loop through the building suspense. I have pages of notes on these characters if that gives any indication of the twists, turns and drama this book is filled with. It is a lengthy story and I actually read it in 2 days….maybe 36 hours. That should tell you how addictive it is! I slowed down on all my responsibilities for that time frame (even read in the middle of the night) just to keep going and find out what happens next.

This author has a brilliantly sick and twisted mind and can out it all down on paper. I see it is part of the Twisted Legends collection. I did not read any others in the collection as this is a stand alone. I look forward to more dark and depravity stories from this author.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The story idea is good. But it is very hard to get into the actual story. I struggled connecting with the characters. There seems to be chunks missing that interrupts the flow of the story. This is also is a very descriptive or narrative story. I really enjoy more dialogue to get a feel of the characters. Like I mentioned above the idea is good and after finishing it I was able to get the gist of what the author was trying to say.

I loved the idea of rescuing horses and I admire Mark of doing what he did. He does have some nice staff and friends that I enjoyed getting to know.

Overall this is an okay story. I really wanted to love it. Sorry

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVE the way this author writes! I was completely immersed into the story from the beginning. The fable flows along nicely and nothing seems forced which make it enjoyable to the reader. I can just fall into the story and let the author take me on the journey.

I enjoyed meeting Brie and following her on her path. She changed a lot over the course of the story. She had doubts but eventually did research and believed then all the good came. Her interaction with others is what bolstered her confidence after getting over the fear. I really liked the humor that was brought to this book as the story drew to a close.

Overall this is the second book I have read by this author in this series. I liked thins one as much as the previous. As stated before its the building of the story and its characters along with her fluidity that makes this such an entertaining story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed Bridger and Tia’s story! It delves Into both their lives and gives up the good and the bad. Together their chemistry is off-the-charts! I loved watching them navigate the trail of insta-attraction to leaning to becoming friends. I have crazy and cute comments highlighted that they thought about each other. Tia is a spitfire and doesn’t have a lot of filter which makes for some amusing commentary.

So for this is one of my favorite series! I have no idea whose story will be next but I am absolutely looking forward to it! This author writes with humor, seriousness and wonderful secondary characters as well as giving her characters strength. Its a perfect combination. I get to laugh while genuinely feeling for these characters.

OMG! This author has done it again! I am loving this series! This one had me laugh, love and cry throughout the telling. The characters filled me with shocking and roll on the floor laughing moments. I really could not get enough of them! Normally I enjoy the well written male but Seth got overshadowed by Victoria! She impressed me with her tenacity, strength and wit over and Over again. Both of these characters do have charm and were just as smart as they adorable! I really enjoyed them both.

Secondary characters are wonderfully built and add some levity to the story. I enjoyed meeting them all and was always wondering about that Pip.

Overall its a great addition to the series. There is one brother left and I am looking forward to his story.

What a different way to tell a story! I was surprised and thrilled at how the stories intertwined. The characters…well I loved them! They each have their own drama or story and I enjoyed how they figure it out and move forward. My biggest dislike was the last story because it felt a little rushed but again it was tied perfectly with the others.

I liked how creative the author is to come up with this book. This one has something for everyone. Characters of all ages and a little mystery in each one. Also it is a great title and name of a book store!

This is not my typical type of story. I usually skip ghostly books. I have read this author before and I love how she is able to bring a story to life so I decided to give it a shot. I was not disappointed! I was actually surprised with the twists this one took. I know I had to re-read lines a couple times because of my shock. I enjoy how the author made me believe in these characters.

I really liked the story and the characters. Just goes to show..read with an open mind. In the back there is a short story about finding your happiness. It is a good bonus read.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is an imaginative story. I actually got caught up in the story near the end. Sadly this ends unfinished so the next book is needed to continue the adventure. This story felt kinda slow to me for the first half. Luckily this has short chapters which helps the story move along at a quicker pace. The second half is when things speed up and get interesting. We meet a lot of new characters and the world is just different. I felt like Dorothy who landed in Oz trying to figure out the reasons and customs of the new realm.

Overall I struggled with the first half of the book. I kept plugging along and the second half kept me entertained. We end with a lot of unanswered questions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

LOVED this one! It is a wonderful beginning to a new series. It has action, suspense, drama and some romance. This is very well written from the storyline to the building of the cast. I really *felt* for these characters and I actually was very moved by a scene that included a dog. I enjoyed meeting Levi’s family and learning more about him and what makes him tick. The female lead was a complete mystery and I am going to leave her that way so you can discover her secrets all on your own. She did surprise me more than once.

This is a first time author for me. I adored her character’s and can not wait for the next in the series. While this is a clean romance the story is fulfilling enough that I did not miss the open door scenes.

Love is Worth Fighting forLove is Worth Fighting for by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this for the writing style. The author makes me feel the emotion of the character plights and the sense of family through the Greekness including the finalization of the grandpa story.

I just struggled falling into the purish love that Loukas has for Krystina. Being only eighteen their forever love just struck me as too young. Maybe if they were in their twenties and lived some life first that would be more believable.

As for the characters themselves Loukas family drama felt real as is his frustrations with what to do for himself. At times he seemed much older than eighteen( fixing up the house, drywall etc) and other times very much the teenager he is. Krystina seemed very much the teenager she is. We do get finished stories for a lot of other characters that are not family.

I was not a huge fan of the back and forth between time for the two main characters. It just seemed to take away maybe if it was told at the beginning then fell into their story it would have meshed better for me. The back in time for the grandparents was okay and fit fine.

I do like that it was written and had the same issues as current times. (Covid) Overall I live this whole family but honestly feel if the main character ls were even a bit older by the end of the book I could have liked this better.

Holy Smokes! What a crazy yet stunning story! I mean I loved it but DANG I really was not sure which way it was going to go until I flipped that last page! This really took me on such a ride! So SO many ups and downs and twists that sometimes I was not sure who to trust/believe or even like. Both main characters and a secondary or two are very interesting in how they conduct themselves. I was drawn into their individual lives, plight and but mostly I wanted everything to turn out where the winners win and the losers lose. But since this takes me right up to the edge before it lets go…I just never know who is going to fall.

I absolutely LOVED this dark and twisty tale! The story..the suspense..the characters..all of it is perfection! I highly recommend this one to anyone who can handle a little darkness in their stories. I look forward to more from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an amazing story! This took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I hated, then liked and then felt honored to read this full tale. While reading I was shocked and surprised more than once at what happens, the cast’s reactions and actions. The characters all have wonderful traits that add or detract from the overall book. Some I loved and felt empathy for and others I could do without but realize their necessity for the storyline. I loved the growth that not only the two main personalities had but a lot of the secondary ones too.

This is my first book by this author. I felt it may be a little long at times but the weaving of it is perfect. I became entranced by Holly and Mr Gorgeous as we learned their feelings and secrets (good and bad unfiltered) as they struggle to survive and try to hold their place in high school.

That epilogue was wonderfully done! I loved learning how everything was navigated at the end.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So I really struggled with this age gap firefighter romance. Connecting to the characters just was not there for me. I really liked the idea of the story which is why I picked it up. I mean who doesn’t love a firefighter story? Sol has a stress from his injury and he is gruff. Ember (who is a firefighter too!) has always liked Sol and misses him on the job. She tries to smooth out his rough edges but will he let her?

This is not my first book by this author. I usually enjoy her stories and characters but this one just fell flat for me. There is some anguish and drama along with the romance. So all good stuff but i think more expanding was needed. Sorry I wanted to love it but just couldn’t.

Isabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail-Order Brides SeriesIsabella Bride of Ohio: American Mail-Order Brides Series by Debra Parmley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful story that easily held my interest. I love mail-order bride stories as they are from a time that seems so foreign to me now. Yes they are fairly predictable but the chance these women took is amazing. In here we meet Isabella who is young in age as well as maturity. Her adventure begins and she goes through a few ups and downs including some scary moments especially once married. I could feel her desperation and worry but she was resigned to make the best of it.

Overall this is a good story that I enjoyed. It isn’t flashy or highly emotional but its everything I would expect from this type of story. I connected with Isabella as she struggled through on her journey. This is a first time author for me. The writing is good and the flow is nice.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a story that took me on NUMEROUS ups and downs and twists and turns! It really kept me on the edge of my seat and reading late into the night. I really enjoyed all the character development as well. This is slated as a brothers best friend and billionaire boss story. I would disagree with that..oh it has a touch of those elements but I feel it is more of a romantic suspense story. Each of the lead characters has a problematic past. Remi and Audri do have that push and pull because of their joint childhood and her brother which I loved.

Overall I really enjoyed this one! I loved the characters, the dramatic suspense plus that sexy romance between the alpha male and his desired lady. One of my favorites things is the whole backstory to these boys/friends. What a wonderful idea to base these books on. I am hoping each of the guys creating the game will get a story! I am SO looking forward to it!

Queen of Hearts (Heels, Rhymes & Nursery Crimes, #21)Queen of Hearts by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a short…not sure if I should say sweet story. It is set back in the early times when men were scoundrels and not married women are ladies of the night. In here the men are dark, devious and mean. One woman the Queen of Hearts sets out to right the wrongs of the men. She is rather ingenious and while they call it a crime, I think its pretty smart. Dangerous for her but a smart way to “fix” them.

I enjoyed reading this. Natalina Reis always gives me a story that reaches boundaries. This one does that with a Bonnie and Clyde theme running through here. I have not read the rest of the series but this one seems to be a standalone as I had no problems following along.
Ps Love the Cover!

I really loved this story a lot! It pulls on the old heart strings! I normally shy away from books like this. This one I gave a go and was happy I did. The story started off amazing! Then slowed down in the middle But picked right back up to an exciting end.

The characters are lovely! Ellawyn and Beckett are both wonderful characters but I think my favorite is Benji. There are a few other liked secondary characters that I hope will be moved to get their own story.

Overall its a good story that easily kept my interest and turning pages. This is a new author for me and she did a good job with this story. I did find a few errors but I just did not let them bother me too heavily. Everything has a nice flow. Plus she made a lovely little town.

This is an enjoyable story. At first it was a little slow but it was all being built up slowly. I really liked meeting the characters. Watching Bree go through all the different stages in her young life. Men, breakups, friends, work and family…it is all in here. The male counterparts are Interesting. Of course my favorite is the guy who goes for longevity instead of swiftness.

Overall this story had me becoming embroiled in Brees life. I came to care, worry and admire her as the story moved along. Her friends are wonderful but she really stole the show. My only issue was the whole race card that started being thrown about later in the book. I didn’t like/love her or the story because of her race. I liked her for the person and the story because it was told well and made me admire the characters. Maybe it is an important factor for some but it was not for me

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a wonderful series! I LOVE the different storylines and all the characters. Lucky you! You get access to all these guys in one shot! This series has thrills, chills, drama and hotties! Sassy spitfire ladies and those MEN ! Plus the stories are filled with intrigue and suspense! Each story kept me on the edge and I read late into the night to reach the conclusions! This is one of my favorite series that I enjoy over and over!

Cold Bastard is my absolute favorite in the series because it left me speechless. This book….this book was so good! It was intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved everything about the two main characters. Archer is strong, smart heck-a good looking and British! Yes I said British!!! He is a muscular, tattooed suit wearing British speaking hottie!! Although he looks good in sweatpants as well. He is cold and emotionless until a little fireball known as Zoe shows up in his life. Zoe is a curvy little redhead with a smart mouth. She is supremely intelligent and takes nothing from anyone. I enjoyed how she was so body conscious…it made her seem more real. The back and forth between these two is electric! I could not get enough of their banter. I could never decide whether to read slower or faster. Either way was torture. This story did bring out many emotions while reading. I was irritated a few times along with shocked, worried and in awe. I usually am a fan of the male in the story but Zoe’s part was so good that I just am a fan of them both. Although Archer does pull ahead…because of that smexy British Accent!!

They are all just as delightful and sinfully sexy as Cold Bastard. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes back and forth banter between characters and intrigue, suspense and some drama.
