This was a great book, I finished in a couple of hours. Jake Kimberly know each other because Jake is her brothers friend. Everyone knew Kimberly liked Jake but she never came out and said it to him and he left and got married.
Now they’re both successful in their career choices and when Jake has no place to stay for a few months, he winds up at Kimberly’s.
Both are fighting feelings but for different reasons, life and emotions get the best of them.
Read this book to find out what happens, you won’t regret it.

5 stars

What a great holiday read this was. This book, while quick, packs quite the emotional punch i expect from Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson is new to me but now on my to read list.
A teenage miscommunication comes to a head over Christmas 6 years later between Penelope and Artie. These two, ugh I wanted to just shake them sometimes but we got there in the end. I can’t give away circumstances as it’ll ruin this read for anyone else as even though we know what is kind of expected, the work up to it all is so worth reading on your own.

Great read!

I knew I had to pick this anthology up as soon as it went up for preorder. I mainly got this for KL Montgomery as she is an automatic one click author for me, no matter what its about!
This review focuses on Reconstructed Heart by KL Montgomery

Reconstructed Heart broke my heart from the beginning and took me on a journey inside the minds of police officers and the emotional turmoil they feel on a daily basis and how hard that is to bring into a relationship. Jenna and Trey sparked from the get go but it sure took some time to get from benefits and comfort to showing the feelings for real. Like all of this authors stories, I was invested from start to finish. I loved these characters as they were different in a way from some of her previous characters in her books.

I will be reading the rest of these stories as i love first responder stories.

5 stars

This is book 1 of this series, but i would recommend reading the prequel, Deadly Alliance, to get familiar with some of the characters in this book but it’s not required to follow this story.
We follow Kingsley Knight or as he prefers, just Knight, and Sydney.
We are taken for quite the ride through all the twists and turns in this amazing story. As with both of these authors, I knew I’d not be getting anything done until I hit the end and sorry kids but cereal for dinner counts as a meal.
I felt for Sydney and the trauma she carried through life and all she went through in the years to come.

I cannot wait for more in this series as I know they’ll be amazing.

As with all books by Phoebe Alexander, this one is now my current favorite of this series. I am loving this series! Its so different and doesn’t just revolve around the steamy scenes, there’s real stories going on and these keep you glued to the pages.
Neve and Enya are partnered together to figure out what is happening and who is causing the issues with Spicetopia. You don’t HAVE to read these in order but I recommend doing so as to not miss anything in the order they happen.

I have so many thoughts flying through my head I can’t seem to get them to translate to my fingers to type them to where they would make any sense, but take my word for it, READ THIS BOOK!

I am absolutely in love with this series already. I was sucked into this story from the beginning and through laughs and lots of tears, i made it to the end loving this so much.
Shane is hurting and I could feel the guilt and sadness coming through the pages as I read and then add in Emme and it was all over the feelings meter for me.
Emme, so strong and courageous and just wanting to be seen to be an equal.
The emotions, the heartbreak and the downright sad in this book was felt so strongly. I highly recommend this book and will now be going back to read both of these series from the beginning as i haven’t had the pleasure yet.

This was a fast paced read and has 2 of my favorite things, dogs and a sweet romance.
June never measured up in her parents eyes and my heart hurt for her as she didn’t trust easily, if at all.
Graham was funny, a little awkward and also just an all around good guy.
Cant forget the star of the book, Maxine! What a great character to add to this book. She brought it all together and I loved her antics.
Great read!

This was my first book by this author and my goodness what a thrilling ride I was taken on. I felt for Isaac and how all he wanted to do was move on from his past, but life has other plans. I couldn’t flip pages fast enough to see what was going to come next. This is a crime book so the bloody scenes were expected and didn’t bother me at all. I look forward to more book by this author. Highly recommend this book.

So much has happened to Charlotte in this series, if she could catch a break but that doesn’t happen here either.
So many twists and turns and the Lies! I’m afraid to even say anything about this story as I don’t want to spoil this book.
Again im transported into the story and forget I’m reading as i feel like i am there going through everything that is happening. I can’t wait to see what this author writes next as this series was amazing.

What a kickoff to what I know is going to be a great new series. I will start this by saying this is not my go to genre but when a synopsis grabs my attention I have to read it, and this did that and so much more.
I absolutely loved this book. The characters were so well thought out and I never once felt lost or confused, even with the changing of character voices we follow, as they’re laid out of who is speaking.
Xenobia was a great character to kick this book off with, what a main leading lady.
I cannot wait for more from this debut author, and i want to say so much more but if we follow Xenobia and her girls some more I am all in. Adding to my waiting to buy list.

I really loved this book. I love second chance romance stories and no one deserved this more than Duke and Patience.
I felt for both characters, young and taking different paths but not communicating with each other on anything deeper than teenage problems. We then jump up to present day and my goodness the pain Patience went through was unimaginable.
This series is now on my watch list. Must read!

Cue the tissues. Just when my sniffles subsided, I had to get them back out again. This was such a great book and it dealt with real life scenarios. It happens every day and while it may not affect us personally, this just hit a chord with me as I couldn’t imagine how Ginger felt with each devastating blow.
And Jonathan, he was perfect for this story. He knew her pain, helped her move forward and helped her through the pain.

I highly recommend this series!

What a great read! Had me guessing until the end.
We follow a few people in this book, but it wasn’t confusing even without headers to say who was talking as you could figure it out with the transitions in place.
A murder has happened and no one know who exactly did it. Through the clues and evidence it points to a couple people but with more digging we find they were right under our nose the whole time. Kept me gripping my kindle to the very end.

While this book is to be geared towards children, my 6 year old lost the message the first read through, so when I read it again I changed some words to her level and it went better.
Everyone deals with anger differently but it is a feeling all feel at one point or another so having steps to help in a way children can comprehend is great.
Loved the illustrations.

What a ride this book took me on and all the moving parts come together for one intense ride. We see a little more to Johnny this time around, but the story takes the limelight as its very small snippets of Johnny outside of work. I cannot wait for book 3, this author has a new fan.

Oh my goodness, where has this author been all my life? I was so enthralled with this book that i got nothing done around my house once I started.
I love a good mystery and I had my finger pointed to 2 different people for who did it, and while one of them was right, it still took me by surprise as to how and why and what else followed.
I loved seeing the main characters struggle and her life in general but also she wasn’t just a damsel in distress she took action and kept on going.
This has a small undercurrent of a budding attraction but the main story is the murder and I liked the break from reality this gave me.
Will be reading more!

I loved being able to see the Hill family again in this book, and finally Jennings book! You don’t need to read the other books to read and follow this book.
This story had something that I’ve not read about but maybe once or twice before, and it was done so well.
Jennings, i knew he was a big teddy bear under all the quick witted comebacks and sarcasm. He and Ashley had some history and I was so hooked on how this was going to play out.
And I loved seeing the other brothers in this story, even if they were just small interactions.
The chemistry was off the charts here, they just needed to open their eyes and see it.
Can’t wait for more from this author.

I was captivated by this book and who doesn’t love a military man?

I was immediately sucked into this book and after about 2 chapters, i realized everyone seemed familiar and then it clicked (I was slow on the uptake) and this book follows the little sister from the book Lavender Fields. I don’t feel it is necessary to read that book to read and understand this one, but if you fall in love with this book, You’ll want that book too!
Joan, oh Joan and her potty mouth! She’s spunky and not afraid to tell you like it is and exactly what she expects to happen or how she feels.
Nix, oh what a guy. Poor thing was so lost yet knew something was amiss and until Joan, he had no idea things could or should be different.
My heart broke a couple times but in the end I was happy. Great book!

I’ll preface this by saying this is not a genre I read a lot, but the cover and synopsis made it to where I couldn’t pass it up. While I enjoyed the book, it was something very new to me as I had no clue what a multiverse really was until this.
Wonderful writing had me not wanting to put it down, and it painted some great pictures in my mind. I will say I had to write down who was who as I couldn’t keep names straight but that may have just been me and the distractions of my children.
All in all if this is your genre of choice, you’ll absolutely love it, and if you like great writing and storytelling this is also the book for you. I am looking forward to more from this author as if this is his debut novel, I can’t imagine what the next will be like with how well this was written. Congratulations on your debut novel!

So this was a really good book, that while it drops you into the story right away, we get the details needed pretty quickly. I really liked how we got to learn about each character and their reasons for being the way they were. I really felt for Scarlett as she was so scared and needed to be in control of it all and had no idea what to do with her changing heart.
Great read!

Ok, who is chopping onions over here? I haven’t cried from sadness and laughter so much in one book before. This one really hit me as its a lot more detailed in the characters this time. It says its a standalone, and it can be read that way but I promise you won’t want to, so read the others!
We follow Zack and Becca in this one and its oh so different than the others. I knew it would be but I was not prepared.
I will not be giving details as it all plays into everything and I don’t want to possibly give any spoilers.
If you loved the first two books, then be prepared for this one. I have a new favorite author!

This was my first read by this author, and I enjoyed it. I wish we could’ve gotten to know the characters a little more as I felt we just got the big parts that made them the way they are or act. Was a good story I was just left wanting more, as they meet, fall and marry so quickly, I felt I missed a big gap of time.
I liked the drama of it all but it was just missing some key things to make it a 5 star for me. Will read more from this author though as it was well written.

Let me start by saying it helps to read book 1 to get to know the family dynamic and what some characters in this book have been through before this takes place.

We follow Ian, a police officer and adoptive child of the Lawson family. We get his backstory in this and what a heartstring puller.
And we also get a look into Rachel’s life and my heart broke for her.
These two have so many things going against them from past and present demons, but can they forge ahead stronger together?
I can’t wait to read about Ben next!

This has it all. I loved the sparks of heat between everyone involved and the crazy drama that happens had me hoping and praying through the entire rest of the book.
I can’t wait for the rest of this series, if this book is any indication of what’s to come and its Phoebe Alexander, so of course it’s going to be amazing!

All these books have everything you need, a great but damaged hero, the woman they need but never wanted and drama and of course fire bedroom scenes.
You won’t be disappointed in these books there’s something for everyone and once you read one you’ll want them all. I won’t give any of it away as the synopsis’ gives enough to hook you.

Its very different and i’ve not read anything like this before. Dive into different fantasies and choose the door you like the most.
