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

This is for sure a mus read book I would say. This was a new author for me, and I will be for sure reading more by this wonderful author. I was deeply touched with the writing, it truly impacted me!

This book was so much more to me than it was at first glance. I am someone who has my own mental battles, and my husband has helped me through it in so many different ways. The writing of this very talented author was amazing. I was so invested in the writing that I could not let go of the words that I was reading. The characters were connectable and impossible not to love..there was more to the issues addressed than just mental health, that were very personal to me. I loved reading that and seeing the story come to light with triumph. So many emotions were felt, I loved this book with all my heart!

Such a perfect and crafted book. I felt emotionally attached and in love reading. I was sad to see it end, but it was bittersweet seeing how all tied together at the end. Certainly a must read and not one to be passed up for any reason. A must read for sure! I very much highly recommend this wonderful book and author!

Blood & Vengeance (The Casket Girls #2)Blood & Vengeance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The first book was amazing from start to finish and this one was just as amazing, if not even more! I loved how this one had even more character development and the writing really pulled you in even more!

I personally was hooked with this one. Reading on Desiree and how she really had her light to shine with her determination really shined bright I would say! She became a very determined leader in this one. She had her sights on something and she went after it. Very admirable reading what she was the first round and seeing her now in this round! Theron and Jaxon are wonderful and the three of them made a wonderful trio. They all had different reasons to be who they are and their dealing with vampires. They each contributed to the story in this each own way. I loved this story and the writing that it possessed and words created!

This book was so freaking good! Could not put down! Was in constant anticipation! I loved this book and the writing so much! Highly recommend this must read book! Not to be passed up for sure! Loved it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. I did not think I could feel so much from reading a book. But with this one, I did just that! The book had a wonderful flow of pace I found, as well as the story line really brought you down a road that makes you think as well as wonder. Loved it!

This book very much showed its colors as I read. I felt so much and was very emotionally attached to the characters as I read! I enjoyed reading about the group of friends, and what their lives entail as well as bring to them. I really felt connected to the characters. Like it hit me, really hard. Especially with Melody, I related to her so much with her life choices and the position she was in. Reading her story really hit me deep within my heart, as I felt I once was in the exact position. I cannot say how important it was for me to read the story of Melody and her friends and how much they cared about her. I felt deep emotions, but as much as they were intense, they were beautiful as well! Loved the writing! Loved this book for so many reasons!

This is a book I am going to recommend to anyone and everyone. For sure one that should be read. And the first book in a series, so better yet! I cannot wait to continue reading this series and see where the next installments of books take me! Highly recommend this book! No doubt, it is a must read for sure!

I truly have loved all the books i have had the pleasure to read by this wonderful author, but this one truly sucked me in and kept me on the edge of my seat! The story was gripping and excellent character development as well as plot. The story kept me guessing for a while! Such a intense read!

Reading Nathan’s and Holly’s story had me deep within this book. Not all was what it seemed. I found that with Nathan to expect the unknown. He was a man of secrets as well as someone just trying to get through high school. Holly was a total sweetie, and she learns something deep on Nathan that he fears that his life will be over. Things take a turn. I was surprised and gripped to the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. I was constantly shocked, the deeper I dove into the story, the more it progressed. It was such an amazing read. i loved this amazing author’s writing skills and how they kept me in anticipation. This is something we all should read for various reasons! I could not put this book down! Loved it seriously!

Such a freaking good book! I could not get enough, and I kept reading to see what would happen next in the plot! Highly recommend this must read book! Certainly not one to be passed up!

Distant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book TwoDistant Memories: A Nurse Morgan Series: Book Two by Kate MacInnis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first book in the series, and this one certainly took the cake just as much! I loved the romance, suspense, rivalry, ghosts, you name it! There was so much to love! I think I loved Nurse Morgan even more than the first book! I saw a lot of growth with her and her abilities in this book installment!

Nurse Morgan is such a delightful character. She had to handle her job and ghosts. I was surprised that her abilities developed to a new found land, but it was more than welcome to my eyes! I found there was more in depth for this book. Esmeralda quickly became a new character I could not stand. I think I had among the same opinions as others on the hospital staff team. I knew there was something deep on Esmeralda and her character, I did not know till I further ventured down that rabbit hole! Caleb was a great addition as well, I loved the anticipation of the love triangle and loved how Nurse Morgan stayed string and valiant! I loved the character development with all sides of this novel! It was a quick read, I laughed, sat edge of my seat, cheered, and of course kept on reading! Loved this book!

The first book was wonderful, but this one I truly did love even more! I cant wait to see what adventures are next for Nurse Morgan! I love this author and their splendid writing skills, and I do very much highly recommend this series, this must read boo, and of course this author! Truly a must read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book quickly became of my favorite reads! I loved the writing, the humor, the character development, and truly everything in between! Was a great read, and really was a fun read as well!

Seth and Victoria were truly a match made in Heaven at first glance I would say! Their journey through what was growing between them, may not have been truth and honesty. But things changed as they spent some time together. I loved Seth-total sweetheart who wanted to be seen as a real person, not what he could offer in the money sense. Victoria was certainly a character. They both had their own stubborn streak, but own common ground. I laughed, cried, gasped, you name it! This book was a fantastic read from start to finish! Could not get enough. Will defiantly be reading more from this author! Loved it! Such a feel good read in your heart, and well everywhere!

I loved this book! That goes without saying! I really loved how the story with the characters developed. Sensational writing by an amazing author! Loved it! Highly recommend this must read book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book, the characters had that sweet essence, but with their own fire going. I loved their different personalizes as well as the walks of life they come from. The book was convincing and a wonderful read.

Sol and Ember were wonderful, they both were stubborn at times, there flame between them was undeniable to say the least. I loved watching them with scenes together, and how it played out. Sometimes with fire fighting, you have to risk it all and run into that burning house, I found that was what Sol and Ember both had to do. Leap of faith. Not be afraid and just do it. Their story was a quick and easy read, but all so wonderful. Enjoyed the author’s writing and how the story played out!

Loved this book, its quick, but very much amazing read. Loved the author’s writing style and character development. Highly recommend this must read book! Loved it from start to finish! Truly loved it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first two books in the series, and this one was certainly no different. I loved the story development as well as the character development between the first two books and this one! As always the author crafted together a wonderful engaging story, with everything I love about their writing!

Donovan and Shirley are facing the dilemma at hand, and at the same time raising their kids and giving them the best life possible. What would that consist of in a perfect world? Perhaps living free, and not fearing of a law broken for well, living your life! A decision for war was made, and Donovan and his wife knew what was on the line, meaning they may not make it. I found this character development very commendable. Despite what they could lose, they cared more on what they could gain! This book brought on a lot of feelings, a lot of action, hardship, and of course suspense. I was not sure what would turn out as I turned the pages. The author is very gifted at all that they do! I was engaged and wanting to know more, the author doesn’t give away what could happen, they keep you in suspense and to keep reading. I seriously love this series and the writing of this very amazing and gifted author!

I loved the first two books and I highly recommend reading those two then reading this one for a good story development . I loved this one truly as I do this author. I highly recommend this series, this book, and this author! All are must reads. For sure, not ones to be passed up! Truly a remarkable read!

Love this author and all the writings and books that they create! I loved the first book in the series and now this is the second one. I could not help but fall head over in love. I swear this book truly scored a touch down with my heart! There was so much to this book, it was absolutely amazing from start to finish!

I loved watching things progress and what they were between Tia and Bridger. I loved how it was not smooth sailing at first glance There were things between them, that went well, quite deep actually. I really felt for them at different times. I felt emotions, happiness, anger, all at the same time on various occasions. I loved the sports aspect to this book as well. I love when romance mixes with sports, it brings to realism out and helps the story play out! I loved the writing, and the descriptive use on the words the author had used! This book was impossible not to love. I am so glad I got to enjoy it! Loved it!

Amazing book that everyone should experience in my humble opinion! I could not get enough of this book. I seriously am squealing with delight as I type this! A must read book! Highly recommend!

A very interesting book that was full of intrigue all on its own! I loved reading this one, as I love my shape shifter books and how each one varies in what it brings. This one was very special in the sense it brought a wide range of plot and character development, I very much enjoyed it!

I enjoyed reading this one, as we follow Nolen and his story. He alone had a lot of character development. From what he started as and what he ended as. I felt for him, he had rights that were being taken form him, and he had to fight and prove. I find as humans we constantly must do that through out life. So that greatly appealed to me. The story all in all captivated me immensely, and I very much enjoyed reading this book plus the author’s writing style was fantastic! Loved it!

Amazing book for all it brought to us as the reader. I could not put this one down! I was hooked and held there till completion! Loved it! Highly recommend this must-read book!

This book brought on the perfect balance of romance, as well as excitement. I did not expect this book to be intense as it was at times! The characters were very fulfilling and brought a lot to the table! I loved all this book was and is the author had a very talented writing skill which I very much enjoyed!

Reading this book, I felt I was transported through time, and I felt I was right there. I loved the author’s descriptive words they used to describe the time frames and how things went about. I loved that the danger and excitement went along with Isabella’s hope and dreams, where sometimes if something is too good to be true, sometimes it is. I loved how this book went about, it was not a plot you could guess easily of what would happen! It kept you curious and in anticipation! Loved it!

Wonderful writing and I was hooked right from the first page truly! I was intrigued and could not put this one down! I loved it! Highly recommend it, and it’s a must read and for sure not one to be passed up!

Again, amazing installment in the series! Seriously the series just keeps getting better and better. This author has had me hooked since the first book. I am too deep now, and I can not let go! I love how each one fascinates more as you read! A very amazing series I must say, impossible not to love and enjoy!

This one really appealed to me as it was the aftermath of the second book. We follow Julia and where she is at based on the decisions, she made in the second book. I felt for her at times, but she always amazes me in what she decides to do. She always comes out strong, even when she may appear at the lowest point. I devoured this one so easily. I loved the aftermath and the new adventure Julia had to undergo. There was never a dull moment, and the author really knows how to keep you hooked!

Amazing series that keeps on with hype it brings to the reader. Each book in the series catches my attention more and more! Love it so much! Highly recommend this must-read book! Truly!

This book held 3 wonderful, sweet stories! I was literally gushing as I read, the stories were happy and brought on those tender moments I love so much! I was truly captivated and in my own awe as I read, just reading these books made my heart and mind feel happy! Wonderful book of stories!

Each one had characters that lost a chance of what they considered to be happy! As they visit this magical bookstore, the unthinkable happens. Something happens to all the characters in every story that might just give them their happily ever after! But the bookstore really is the thing that sets up the happily ever after for the characters, to keep it and hold onto it, they have to work their own magic! Loved the realism behind these stories and how captivating they were! Really loved and enjoyed these!

Such a wonderful read of second chances and hope. I devoured these very quickly. I wanted to see what would come of each story! I am so happy I got to read these stories! Highly recommend with no doubt!

This book installment captivated my heart and soul in more ways than one! I loved the history we got to learn this time and how it relates to our main characters. There was a lot of detail in this book and it brought on a lot of curiosities within me. There was a lot of talk of the greatest thing being at stake…family! You really saw how much Ciarán loves Caitlin and the family on the way to say. I really felt a lot of feelings with this one, and this one is for sure my favorite in the series so far!

Loved this series so much with a passion! I can never tire of the characters in this series or the story that emerges with them! Loved this book especially! Must read book and series, highly recommend!

I loved the action and the appeal this book gives to the reader. I loved the story in the first, but this one was different, but in a good way. The writing had its appeal and its own darkness at the same time. I loved Julia even more in this one. She is such a great character, strong willed and very resourceful.

Once again, this author has truly captivated me with the wonderful series and the book installment full of characters I can’t hep, but love! This one I think is my newest favorite! I felt so much when reading this book and certainly could not get enough! Loved this one and this author for all that they do!

This one really spoke to me for personal reasons. We followed Jonas in this book. And his story. I got a story that I was not expecting. I felt so much for Jonas as I learned about him. As I found such strong relations for him! I really wanted to hug him! Some parts were hard to read, but that’s what made the story what it was. All the emotions that go along with it. Mackenzie was a wonderful character too. She was very intelligent, and career driven but had that compassionate heart which I loved. I loved their story and how the road to what could be…. always is not smooth riding! Loved this one with all my heart!

As I said, this one was a wonderful read, and really brought on such emotions, and I have no regret over that whatsoever. I really enjoyed it and do highly recommend this book/author/series!

This book really brought everything to the table! It was not just lollipops and rainbows! It brought on the suspense like a wrecking ball! There was a lot of suspense and moments where you would not know what would happen next! The intrigue this novel brought, was beyond my expectations!

Remi & Audri were two characters that had more in common than meets the eye at first glance! I was captivated by their story and who they were as people. To have a chance at what was between them, they really needed to risk everything dear to them. And that was hard for them, as is it really worth it to lose everything to try something out that well, has no guarantee of working out? Both characters had a light within them, and their darkness showed as well. I was gripped to the edge of my sear as I read and could not put this one down as the story kept building as quickly as I turned the pages! Loved it!

This for sure is a must-read book and I truly highly recommend it. I will be for sure reading more by this wonderful author, as I was truly held and captivated! Freaking amazing read! Excellent writing!

Amazing read from start to finish! This was a book that literally had me hooked from its opening statements on the first page! I did not know really what I was into as I started to read, but none the less, it was a thrilling read that made me feel many things! I really enjoyed this novel!

Ellawyn as a character really called to me for things she faced and got out of. As I too was in a similar situation. And she loved to read books! How could I not feel a connection to this character? I loved the moments she shared with Benji. He was a wonderful character. I loved the sweet moments they had and how their chemistry never felt forced. It just flowed. Their story was beautiful. The whole story was in truth. I loved the descriptions of the town as well; it really was immersive with the thoughts and how I pictured it! I truly loved this book, that goes without saying! I can’t wait for the next in the series!

This was a wonderful book that truly touched me. I am very happy I had the pleasure of reading this book that touched my heart strings. Wonderful read. Highly recommend this author/novel/series!

This was such a good find! 6 amazing books that help my engagement and interest! The books were beyond spectacular! I was hooked on every single one! Each book held my interest and had me literally on the edge of my seat! These were impossible to put down!

I loved how each book could be read as a stand alone, but why would you want to just read one? I loved each one had a story of a character of one of the 6 brothers we learned about, and their story. The females they meet that complete them, but also push them and test their limits! I found the females courageous and ruthless as the men were! The books were full of suspense and a mysterious tone. Things in everyone were not as they seemed. They were all gripping and had the shock factors I love.

Could not get enough of this series and all the characters it held! I was held and wanting more as I read through the books! I highly recommend the series and author! You are in for a great time!

This book was a wonderful read from start to finish. I found the writing very charming and the story line heart warming and engaging at the same time. I love a good mystery, as I think a lot of us do, but this one really appealed to me as the characters really made the story!

For starters I loved Alyssa. She had the brain of someone not only intelligent, but someone who had her street smarts as well. The story takes off at a good pace, and I felt I was there in the time frame of the story solving the mystery that was at food. I really had a lot of fun reading this one! Loved it!

The story was a truly wonderful read, and I for sure will be reading more of Alyssa and her friends adventures. One was certainly not enough! Highly recommend this amazing author and this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a very powerful read to say the least. It gave me thoughts that I never thought I would have, I thought of feelings and emotions I often do not even consider. The book gave me a lot of emotions, though sometimes it was hard to have these emotions as I read, I am glad that I did!

Sergeant JP Grimm was a strong character to say the least. He struck me as man that could handle everything that would come is way for sure! Even the strongest of men can fall. The emotions and feelings he had were real as can be. I felt so much, teared up a few times. What he went through and had to do to survive to make it home to his family in the war was so real, it was as if the events were unfolding right before my eyes. The author created a story that had its visual components and the words to go with it. This was a great read, and one I will not forget for some time!

Wonderful book and wonderful writing. Sometimes the hard parts to read, were the best, for the realism they possessed. I highly recommend this book; everyone should read it I believe. It is not one to be passed up or put on the back burner. It’s a very high recommendation from me, well worth a read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Captivating story once again by a truly gifted author! Finn’s adventure from the first series continues in this gripping adventure! This time he is not alone! The book was great visually once again and brought a lot to the table! I loved every moment of this adventure and wait in anticipation for more!

I loved this one for many reasons. Yes, Finn is the protagonist, and he seems to find his footing in this one along side his father of the true meaning what it is to be a Varadoger. I found the journey to that for Finn was hard at times, but his spirit never allowed him to give up, not even for a second! I more less loved the trials he faced through out to get to where he was by the time the book concluded. I also loved how all of Finn’s family had an important role in this novel! I am not speaking just of his father, but his siblings as well as his mother. They all played a role in this story. There was a lot happening at times but was very easy to follow and comprehend. I loved the author’s way of molding this story together and how things came to light, and what may come in future adaptations to the series! Loved it!

Again, amazing installment to the series! I think I may have even loved this installment more than the previous! I can not wait for the next adventure for Finn and his family to be able to be read by myself. I highly recommend this book, for sure a must read! It’s a fun journey that should be experienced!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was so well written, and so engaging for me! I was swept away by the story line, the characters, wondering what would develop! I really enjoyed reading this book by this wonderful author. I enjoyed the book through out!

This book was amazing! I loved how lives seemed to intertwine in this story. I have always loved the tales of Greek Mythology, and I must say this book truly satisfied my want for it! I enjoyed being swept with the emotions and feelings of the characters. Honestly this book had it all, the quest for love, a lost treasure, a city unknown to man. It was a trip for me and captivated truly. I really loved this one, and I can not wait to read more in the series! This book gave me so much! It was a grand and mesmerizing adventure! I wish this book did not come to an end; I wasn’t ready to reach the final page when I did!

Loved this book with a passion. The writing and story line really fueled my passion for mythology and the quest for it that lies within my heart! Highly recommend this must-read book!

Distant Heart Sounds (Nurse Morgan #1)Distant Heart Sounds by Kate MacInnis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have always been a big fan for anything paranormal, but this one was impossible not to love. It had that cuteness vibe, and was very engaging right from the start. I enjoyed the character strengths and progression as I read. The author wrote a very much perfect book and story that I really enjoyed!

Morgan is an was a great character. She had such strengths, but also at the same time was well, human. She had a good heart, and when something “gift” her ability to do what most cant it changes her. Is it for the better or for worst? I find gifts always come with a price. I loved watching her grow as a character and how her new gift made her as a person and character. The book had those moments that very much made me laugh more than a few times! How could I not love this book It had everything I loved within its contents! I loved the writing technique of the author! Very well done and engaging as I read.

For sure this a a book I highly recommend. Read about Morgan and her adventures. I for sure am looking forward to see what Morgan will face off to next It was a fun and comforting read with all those warm fuzzy feelings! I highly recommend this must read book! It is not one to be passed up by any account!

This book was literally a thrill ride from start to finish. The book a lot to the table I found, and I simply loved every minute of my reading. I was hooked really right from the introduction; this book was amazing, and it had the right amount of suspense to keep you hooked as you read.
Grant and Josh were an awesome team to say the least. I loved how their minds worked together, even when they did not see truly eye to eye with one another. I found my guessing abilities were not working as I read, the book really spoke for itself. The danger and excitement it brought to me, was freaking amazing. I loved this book so much, and I will be for sure reading more by this wonderful author.
Amazing rollercoaster of thrill. I loved this author and I certainly loved and enjoyed this book for all it is worth. This is for sure a must-read ,book, and a very high recommendation from me. A Very WORTHY read.

Such a good book. I found the story sweet with its own inspiration. The pictures certainly helped the story come to life. I love the visuals that were used to go along with the story. There was a good character development as well. I loved how the kids learned something not just within one another, but also from each other. I love this book series it has its interesting side as well as its educational side. This is a book and series children should read, and I think truly they will very much enjoy this wonderful book.
