Perfect by Tricia Copeland – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

PerfectPerfect by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ok im going to get this off my chest first lol. I loved this book through and through and I understand the reasoning, i do, but I am so bothered/aggravated by the ending I can’t get over it. I know why it was done the way it was but I just need an answer as to who?! I cant make a guess because each one was great in their own way.
Ok got that all out! This was so different and i really enjoyed this. What if we could see what would happen with each choice made in life? That’s this book. Different takes on different choices.
Chloe was a no drama character really she wasn’t. I loved her blunt holds no punches attitude. And all the people we meet. I loved them. Great read really, im just hung up about the end.

Spouse Trap (Madeline Dawkins, #1)Spouse Trap by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story and I couldn’t pinpoint a favorite part or when I got sucked in, even if I tried.
This has such an interesting story and Madeline is trying so hard to figure out what really happened among other lifes punches.
I can’t wait for A High Price to Pay, this is going to be a great series I just know it!

Forgotten Truth (Forgotten #1)Forgotten Truth by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a good book! I already can’t wait to dive into the next one.
The sex scenes in this are hot hot hot! Bryer and Nathan have an insane chemistry you could just feel through your screen.
This story has a little of everything, neither is wanting a relationship for one reason or another, each has their own reasons, suspense and of course the romance!
Highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whoa! So I finished this book yesterday, and i still cant think of the right words to thoroughly express how amazing this story is. Its no surprise that I just am not a big fan of timeline swaps but after a bit I was ok with it as for this story you absolutely need it.
Ok so how do you put into words a review for this, because I want to say it all but then it may ruin it for someone else as they’d feel I told the story here. And I don’t want to be vague and just say “go pick up this book” but for real go get this book, lock yourself away for a day and read it! The characters, the stories, and the feelings! I haven’t been this invested then wrong in a book as many times as i was in this. Twists, turns, secrets and discovery. Its all here. Amazing and I’ll be on the lookout for more from this author!

Hawk's Cry (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #2)Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok, I have a bone to pick with this author after this book. How dare you make me cry at like, 14%. But really, I was heart broken but understand it had to happen the way it did. This poor man, i can only imagine the pressures, amd this brought an all too real common struggle for a lot of people to the forefront and shows how much support is needed.
I really loved how this ended i was laughing so hard. I cannot wait for more of anything this author writes, she has a gift.

Throwback by Zeia Jameson – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

ThrowbackThrowback by Zeia Jameson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Favorite book of the year

How do i start this review without giving it all away? I am blown away by this book, I’m still getting misty eyed just typing this.

This book, this story, just gave me the biggest sucker punch because this feels like someone got in my head and wrote my feelings down and gave to the world to read. I myself am a stay at home mom and unless you’ve done it yourself, you cant imagine the feelings of depression, isolation and every other emotion you read in this book.

I loved this story. The character building, the blossoming romance, the trust, the fight, just the true raw emotions. This author just let the feelings flow out and they were nailed!

Read this book, everyone knows someone who feels this way, from either character, and it will help open your eyes.

What a wonderful love story, while not traditional for romance books, this was the most realistic I’ve ever read.

Releasing Her Power Within (Fae Shifters Book 1) by Madilynn Dale – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

Releasing Her Power Within (Fae Shifters Book 1)Releasing Her Power Within by Madilynn Dale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With this being the authors debut novel, I cant wait to watch her grow and read all her stories to come.
Liz was someone I could see being friends with, she was sweet, down to earth but also doesn’t take any heat from anyone and stands up for herself.
Cam was so sweet and I knew deep down something else was happening and I loved the way we find it out.
Liz is given the shocks, yes multiple, of a lifetime in a span of a couple days and she takes it way better than I ever would.
But after that ending I need the next book, like yesterday! Great read and cannot wait to see what happens next.

Its been a bit since a book has ticked all my need boxes in one story.
I am a sucker for brothers best friends books and I love a book that makes me laugh and just suck me in. Real life got put on hold a bit, sorry kids!
Blair and Ashton were great, everyone in this story played an important role and brought something to the table.
I will be rereading this again soon as I am sure I missed little things in my first read. Amazing!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Georgia Clay by KG Fletcher
4 stars

This was my first book by this author and I’ll be looking for more from her!
Katie gets reunited with Clay at their high school reunion. When she learns he’s a big songwriter, she’s not surprised as he was talented in school.
As they spend the weekend together, they fall very hard and fast, but long distance isn’t what they’re looking for.
Can they make it work? What happens when Clays dreams come true more?

Georgia on my Mind by KG Fletcher
5 stars

This is book 2 of this series, and while it is about a different couple, id still read the first book since it’s an amazing book as well.
This book follows Hartford, or Hart, and Gia.
I really liked these two, both going through so much and still finding each other. Hart is trying to get his feet back after a horrible turn of events at his previous job. When he meets Gia, theyre both hiding their weakness from each other .
Gia works one job in the day and a different at night, and she’s hiding her living arrangements from everyone.
I cant go into them anymore as it will ruin their story, but I highly recommend this book! Cant wait for book 3!

Georgia Pine (Southern Promises book 3) by KG Fletcher
5 stars

This, to me, was the best book of the series. I absolutely fell in love with Tim and Jessica and the little girls were an added bonus!

Tim is a gardener for the upper class in town, but he has a secret. He’s in hiding from his former life. And he doesn’t expect a family of women to bring him to his knees.
Jessica is learning how to live after a divorce where she wasn’t a wife but more arm candy, and her husband strayed.
Can these two unlikely people come together to be stronger than they have ever been?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a cute story. Many kids, whether it’s daycare, school, first sleepover or even anything new, can benefit from this book. And who better to help ease their fears than Jake the Growling dog!
Jake had a friend help him see that doggy daycare wasn’t as scary as he thought it would be. Super cute, loved the colorful pictures. This series can go so far and cover so many things and I can’t wait to read whatever comes in the future.

All The Wrong Reasons (Serendipity Falls Novel Book 1) by Erin Bevan – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

All The Wrong ReasonsAll The Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness! I absolutely loved this book, one of my favorite tropes is friends to lovers and this book did that total justice.
Friends since they were little, Alex and Max are close and when Alex gets into a big problem, Max is there to help. But with that comes some muddy water with feelings coming into play that may have been pushed to the side.
I really did love this story and the journey it took. Very realistic and could see being in this story with them. Cant wait for more by this author!

Why (Stalker Series, #2)Why by Megan Mitcham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok, it’s been awhile since i read the first book, but i was able to jump right back into the series. I really really loved this book, and the way the story unfolded kept me hooked until the end. The twists, turns, and just everything made the story what it was.
Owen and Genevieve, how do you describe them without making them sound awful lol, it was like cats and dogs or cats and water, love/hate would work too but its unique.

I honestly dont want to ramble on about this as the story as a whole is best read that way. Read book one, Who, first so you have background info and the story before this one.
Cannot wait for the next book.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

I cannot say this enough but this author has one heck of a gift with her writing. No matter the storyline, you are living in each and every story. Nothing is sugar coated, you get the real, the raw and the sweet that is life. Each book in this set, even the whole series, is a must have to own. 

Set in Rehoboth, these stories all follow different characters from all walks of life who all eventually find their happily ever after in their own way. You’ll laugh, cry, scream, and cheer them all on. There’s a little of all of us in each of these characters, and that’s what makes this author amazing.

I really loved this book and the characters we meet. Kat is independent and wants to use her interview skill on her neighbor, Matt. They both discover secrets and time will tell if they’ll be revealed.
The story pulled me right in and I really loved the realistic way this read. I felt like I was right there with them every step of the way.
I hope the rest of the series follows some of the characters we met in this story. Highly recommend.

Wow does this author have a gift or what?! This book, well you’ll need to read the first book before this one as it answers questions from the first and I like to get the story in order.
I really love these 2, Gio and Serena! I think I melted my kindle a bit and I’m ok with that.
I have so much to say but also can’t put it into words that make sense lol. Pick this book up, you won’t regret it. Promise!

Ok, well I need the next book like right now. I kept trying to turn pages that weren’t there.
I loved this book more than the first and that was a tall order.
I really love these characters and the fast paced energy in this book. I love the sassy and quick wit of Dylan.
I really am kicking myself for never reading this author before but now I’m hooked.

What a great read! I loved this book and the characters in it.
Kally and Max both bring a lot to the table separately and their story just hooked me and didn’t let me go.
I really felt like i was in the book with them and Max’s daughter, I loved her from the instant we met her.
This book really has it all and I will be reading more from this author in the future.

Ok I absolutely loved loved loved this story. Dan and Kayla had one night before college graduation and now 5 years later, they’re both in for a surprise. Finding out they’re not only neighbors but that Kayla never told him a huge life event made this story not leave my hands until the end.
I went through many emotions, between laughing, getting ready eyed, wanting to throw my kindle in frustration , you name it I felt it.
I cannot wait for more in this series!

Imposter (Ash Park, #7)Imposter by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Everytime I think this series is over and the next one is better than the one before, another one releases and hooks me back in again. This one like the others, follows Detective Petrosky, and I’ve loved him from the beginning he just has a knack for making you love him even with his gruff exterior.
I never know what’s coming in these books and this was no different and again is a must read . As with everything in this series, nothing is ever as it seems. I could not put this down I didn’t want to miss anything.

2am Secrets by M. Piper
5+++ stars

OMG what an emotional read this was! My final words were, in order, “omg yay!” and “is there going to be a second book about Sam?”
This is one.of if not the top favorite trope of mine in romance books. The brothers best friend and while there are many, this one was on a whole other level. We aren’t teased with the build up it was hot from beginning to end, but real life is also woven into this story and done so well. You could feel the emotions and intensity of everything pouring off the pages.
I love Sadie and her strength. And while she doesn’t ask for it she takes the strength Archer gives to her well and they were perfect. I cried, I laughed and i wanted to beat a character a time or two but its all needed for this story to be the amazing work it is.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a sweet, quick read. I really liked Marielle and Drew. This is 3rd in the series and i didn’t feel lost but i will go back and read the first two as this was a great story.
They’re both attending music camp in one capacity or another, and they didn’t hit it off right away and later learn it was due to nerves of attraction.
As we move along in their lives, Drew goes to war and is injured and drops contact. But Marielle isn’t taking silence as an answer.
These two were great and I felt i could be friends with everyone in this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flowers in December by Jane Suen
4 stars

This book was different than any I’ve read before. Connor goes back home to bury his mother, and comes to terms he’s the only one left in his family.
We see the grief, the growth and the inner feelings of Connor as he goes through the stages of going through memories and belongings of his parents. I enjoyed this book.

While I have lost my father at a young age, I only know what I should be missing, not feeling the loss of the person themselves as a whole. This was a great read

Coming Home (Flowers in December #2) by Jane Suen
4 stars

Before you read this, you must read book one, Flowers in December.
This was a quick read but so much was packed into this story. This book picks up 4 months after the first at Christmas time, but doesn’t need to be read as a holiday read at all.
I don’t want to say anything about this book that may become a spoiler of sorts but this is a must read. It didn’t go the way I thought it was going to and that was surprising.
Can’t wait for more from this author

Second Chance (Flowers in December #3)
I have read this series in order but you can read this as a standalone, but I think its best to read all 3.
This book was sweet, and shows no matter what love can prevail.
Im not the biggest fan of back and forth from past to present but did appreciate getting to know Mary Ann. This is the perfect ending to this trilogy, and I will look for more from this author .

I have loved this series from the get go and this one I have been anticipating for a while now.
I love rock star romances and this was right up my alley. I couldn’t put this book down. I felt connected to these characters, Ben and Danielle, they were so relatable.
Ben struggles and Danielle is hired as his ‘sitter’ to keep him out of trouble. I turned every page just waiting for what was to happen next.
Great series!

Something for everyone in this and I will be recommending this collection to many. I initially got this for 2 authors I follow and ended up finding some new to me authors that will now be on my to look out for list.

King & Hunt: A Lust / Hate StoryKing & Hunt: A Lust / Hate Story by Brienne Dubh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One of favorite tropes, enemies to lovers. What happens when what you thought for years is changed after one conversation?
Gabby and Christian have hated each other since before they ever even met, and Christians twin sister who is also Gabby’s best friend, is stuck in the middle trying to keep the peace.
When Christian comes to town for their birthday, things change and that’s when the sparks fly and it leads to some steamy scenes.

I wanted more! This author captured me from the get go.

Out Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

Out Of The ShadowsOut Of The Shadows by Theresa Sederholt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok, let me dry my face first so I can see what i am writing here.
Don’t be filled by the page count, this may be a little over 100 pages, but the story in this book is so much more than the page count. I have NEVER felt like this after a book and to be told in mostly the male pov. Bravo to this author, seriously, this has so many things going on and done so seamlessly.
Male POV, child POV, domestic violence, just to name a couple. While this touches and walks you through the tough battles it is done so as to be an eye opener, bringing these situations to light and shows that anyone can be going through this at any time.
Dane and Brady are living day to day until Julie makes the same threat twice and Dane must take action. I didn’t expect the actions of Brady but what courage!
I will read anything by this author shes got a gift!

Brutal & Raw: Mafia Romance & Psychological Thriller (Beneventi Family Book 1) by Sonya Jesus – Review by Lyndsey Fairley

Brutal & Raw (Beneventi Family, #1)Brutal & Raw by Sonya Jesus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So before i get into this, I will say if you haven’t read Thirty One Kisses, read that first. Its an introduction of this family and will help answer questions that would arise in Brutal & Raw if you didnt meet them yet.
This book, wow where on earth do i start? 327 is just a number and has somehow made her way into Breakers heart in a very fast amount of time. But being a mafia boss, a new one at that, he can’t have a weakness and he definitely doesn’t believe in love or feelings.
327, has many names in this story and I will call.her that as to not confuse in this review. She escapes a game and is now terrified of being found. As we see her grow a little in the months of hiding, we also see the pull she has to the man she should hate.

I can’t go into too many details as there’s twists and turns I didn’t see coming but just because you’re in charge doesn’t mean everyone listens to you or doesn’t have their own agenda to get to where they want to be.
While a lot of things in this book were disturbing, it made connecting with the character a bit easier to me as if that was how I grew up, I would probably feel the same way they all did.
I can’t wait for more in this series,and to see where it goes with the ending we get here.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fast paced, information packed book. I loved following Rhett and Eden. We get to see two people on opposite sides of the emotion spectrum, both crave love but one denies it and thinks they aren’t good enough and the other uses it express all feelings in one.
Eden didnt have the best life and is given a fresh start as a surprise.
Rhett gets an odd injury and needs to sleep at his captains house until he is better. Fireworks ezplode between these 2 and it was a ride to the end but so worth it. Cant wait for more in this series .

Call of the Alpha (The Powder River Pack #2)Call of the Alpha by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have a read a few books by this author, and this is the second of this series. Can be read as a standalone, but you’ll want to read the first one anyways!
Mason and Rylie, you could actually feel the chemistry coming out of the words in this story. These two had an immediate attraction and unlike other “Insta-love/like” stories, this was so real and believable.
And of course my favorite was Archer. I cant say enough about this book, but i feel if I even started I’d never stop and where would the fun be in ruining the book for you.
I have to say how much more this story was compared to the first, in no way does that mean the first has anything wrong with it but you can just tell this story spoke to the author in a different way and she pulls you into it so seamlessly.
Cannot wait for the next book, and who we get to read about next.

Well I absolutely enjoyed this book! I needed a fast paced, action type of book and this was right up my alley.
Jules is an amazing scientist born to help people in her own way, when things start to happen and she needs protection.
Enter Trev, who was a SEAL, and now a part of Gray Ghost. I’ve wanted his story and now I’ve got it, I loved it so much.
The twists and turns kept me guessing and I kept wanting to turn the pages even after I finished.

I can’t wait until I get more from this series.
