I didn’t know where this book was going to take me so I jumped feet first and held on for the ride. After the way the first book ended, I needed this book so badly. And after this book, I really need the next one! This is a one click author for me, i don’t care what she writes I’ll read it.
I don’t want to ruin anything that happens in this story, it’s a must read and i’m so happy we get to see into another of this bunch of guys heads.

I totally and absolutely loved this story.You must read the first book as this follows along with that story and also gives the other side to what happens in this book. The way it left off with the sneak peak in the first book, had me wanting this one right away.
Connor and Rika, ugh I want to meet them! The funny banter, the getting to know each other and everything else that happens. I want to say so much about this book but im afraid to spoil anything for anyone. This is a must read and now I’ll be patiently waiting for the next one.

5++++ x 100 stars

Let me start by saying, I am in denial this chapters series is over. Yes I know the characters will be in other books but it just won’t be the same as being in that clubhouse.
Ok, on to Truck. I was very apprehensive to start this as I knew i was going to be emotional and i wasn’t very prepared. And Allie, the girl we loved to hate all this time. She was so well written here. I cant say enough about this book, but I also can’t get my words to cooperate right now to give this review the proper respect it needs.
I will one day own all 11 books in paperback as this series will stay with me for life. Read this series.

Amazing new series! I really loved this book and once it hooked me I couldn’t put It down. It took a bit to get into the deep of it but the beginning, while slow, was much needed.
If you like motorcycle romances, this is a series for you. I cannot wait for more.

I’ve been waiting to read this book until I had the quiet time to focus. I knew this book would be explosive and what’s been building in the background in previous books and boy was it.
I felt everything on this book, and I was rooting so hard and I can say I yelled finally a couple times.

This was a great book. Had a different flow than i’ve read before and I really enjoyed it.
Dunk, what a sweetheart! Underneath all that jock and funny guy, is a big old teddy bear wanting what everyone else wants.
And Daisy, I want to be her best friend!
This was a quick read for me as I needed to know what was happening next. And now I want to read the rest of this series. You do not need to read them to read this but I want their stories now too. Highly recommend.

I will start off by saying this wasn’t what I thought it would be but i was so invested in this book. Read this from cover to cover, don’t miss a word of it.
I don’t have the right words to even give this a proper review worth this book. I felt the emotions, I felt the turmoil and guilt.
I will say this isn’t an average thriller type book, but it’s so worth the read.
This book will stay with me for a very long time.

This is the next book in this series, while its not necessary to read book 1, I would because its a great book and we see the previous characters in this one.
We meet Knox and Josie in this book and wow, you could feel the heat through the pages.
Im not giving anything away because its best read yourself. But just know you won’t want to put it down once you start.
Stubborn Knox and sweet Josie are sure to become favorites just like they did for me.

Amazing read! I loved the first book. And you must know you cannot read these out of order!
I love these 2 main characters and the secondary ones as well, but Angel and Jasmine are kind of my favorite right now. They’ve been through so much apart and now they are trying to navigate how to be a couple without unloading all their baggage onto the other for fear of setbacks or scaring off the other.
Lots of things happen in this book and it had me turning pages so fast to read all the words.
Great read can’t wait to see what happens with the next book with this group.

Another amazing, yet also disturbing read from Meghan O’Flynn. This one was definitely a doozy for me. And I highly suggest not reading this before or after eating.
I really liked the concept of this story, it was so different than anything I’ve ever read.
What lengths would you go to in times of starvation and dehydration? This takes you on quite the ride.
If you’re looking for something different to read, pick up this book.

This was such a good read. While aimed at younger readers, I enjoyed this story. My kiddos are just a tad young to understand or sit through a book this length, I will save this for future reading time.
Tired of moving around because of his dads job, Monty discovers a serum in their new house and that’s when things get really interesting. All he wanted was a friend but you’ll have to read to uncover what happens.
Taught some valuable lessons and had some laughs too. Author did a great job of getting into the mind of an early teenager.

As always, with any book she writes, Gwyn McNamee knocked it out of the park with this one.

It was over before I wanted it to be. I have more questions or need to knows, actually but this summed up the series in a way I guess it called for.

I was sad and happy through the whole thing, even the ending.

I cant wait to read more from this author as she has me hooked for life.

An amazing read by Nicole Banks, Shattered took me for a ride of emotions.
I immediately loved Jasmine, and knew from the start what happened to her but wanted to actually “hear” it from her to know for sure.
And Angel, oh what a tormented soul. The protector, the rule follower, the man who wants what he feels he can’t have.
I really enjoyed this book, I absolutely NEED the next one because I need to know what happens next.

September Breeze (Cinnamon Bay Romance Book 2) by Nikki Lynn Barrett
5 stars

This is the second book of this series, but its not necessary to read book 1 to read this one.
We meet Tess and Brian and Brian’s two girls, Tatum and Alice. I laughed, I cried, I swooned and came to the conclusion that I want to move to Cinnamon Bay.

We learn along the way all about Tess, who is a songwriter and she happens upon an “ad” for a nanny position and with the tight spot she’s in, she goes to investigate.
I instantly fell for Brian and the story of him and his daughters.

This is a must read book, and I will be diving into the next as soon as I can get my hands on it. A new one-click author for me.

I was drawn to this book as my grandmother had Alzheimer’s and passed away a few years ago. I knew what it felt like for me to watch her slip away but I had no idea what it felt like for my mom and siblings. This book shed a big light on some aspects of that.
This was engaging yet emotional. I recommend this book even if you’ve not been affected by this horrible disease.

There’s nothing I can say about this amazing author that others haven’t said already. She’s amazing and all of her stories just suck you in and take you on a journey.

This one just knocked it out of the park (pun intended lol).
We meet Cy, who has to go undercover in the family business and find out who is behind some secret meetings.
We then meet Jolie, who was just amazing and strong.
These two were great and the development between them was fun to watch.
I can’t wait to read book 2!

With a title like this one, I wasn’t sure what to expect but what a hidden gem of a book!
I laughed throughout this book which was helpful as i’ve read pretty heavy as of late.
It took just a bit to get into the swing of the writing style and the pov’s going through many people, but once it clicked i took off flying through the pages.
What happens when the media gets involved, a circus comes to town and a ghost? This book does.

Loved Sheriff Stanley!
Must read.

I will say it read pretty fast and that was a sign of a great book.
I loved how similar yet different these two were and how well they just meshed.
Melanie, loved her. We’ve all been too nervous in certain situations but going to your boss with something so near and dear to her heart, I loved how that played out.
And don’t forget Tyler, and his jerk of a boss.

This is a must read, I really enjoyed this and got some laughs too.

I enjoyed reading about Poppy and her new adventure moving to New York. Her first weekend in town she gets lost and, well you need to read for yourself as that was one of the best first meetings ever.
This had ups and downs and I didn’t expect what happened at all.
And I really loved the interweaving of another stories characters from Phoebe Alexander’s Rule Breaker.

I Absolutely love Beauty and the beast, this took it on a new spin where the genders are flipped. Beau is a sweet young man trying to help his family by working to pay off a debt from his mother.  Bett is a spoiled young woman who has an awful nickname.

Its best to read the story to get what is happening on the surface.

This follows Matt and Marenah, and the secrets in this book left me gripping my kindle for what was to come. I love the mix of action and steamy scenes. Must must read.

Irresistible Heroes – Heroes of Your Heart by Various Authors
5 stars

So many new to me authors in this collection! Of course the big one that drew me to this was Tamara Ferguson, I’ve read many of her books and didn’t want to miss out on the other great stories in this.

All books in this anthology have a common theme, heroes. What makes a hero, a hero? Read any of these stories and you’ll find out that not all heroes wear capes or camo and could be just an average person. I really loved these but the one that made me pick this up will be focused on here.

Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes by Tamara Ferguson
Samantha and Ben met overseas but it was a stressful moment that left both of them changed. When Ben is sent to a training facility with an odd task, he doesn’t expect to see Samantha there. These two were great and with the twists and turns this story took, it was more about them and what was happening, than a typical romance story where we’re seeing them set the sheets on fire every couple pages. I highly recommend this story.

And I will be reading all of these stories in the coming weeks when my tbr list allows it!

This is so so different than any other book ive read, but in a great way. Its filled with short story type or blog style stories. Its all about finding the magic or the positives in everyday life, that I admit find hard to do some days.
I had to read this after my kids went to bed as I needed quiet, which is a first for me while reading. It was very relaxing and I really wanted to be able to picture or feel what i was reading in a different way than I was used to.
Will be looking forward to more from this author.

I have to say I was very intrigued by this book by the synopsis, but very wary due to page count. This book is long, yes, but is a really good story. I’m not a big “step out of my comfort zone” genre reader, I love romance and the angst but this book really captured my attention.
The character descriptions felt like they were very vivid in my mind and I could really picture everything i was seeing/reading, I LOVE that. But there were some things that could have done fine with not being included, it just got too wordy, for me personally. I felt like I skimmed a lot, which I hate to do, but it felt repetitive or unnecessary to get to the next part of the story.
I will say I’m intrigued for the next book, as that cliffhanger leaves me to believe there will be another. Overall i enjoyed the story.

I really love this author, and I am loving this series. This story follows Lexy and Grayson, and boy what a couple. After years apart and secrets to uncover, there’s a lot to this book.
This writing style is very descriptive and while I love that to get a feel of what I’m reading and actually “see” what they see, it almost felt like too much, not in a bad way and maybe it had something to do with my mood lol.
I loved seeing all the characters but i had to take notes as to keep them all straight as they aren’t always referred to as the same name everytime.
Despite those small things for me, I truly loved this story and I cannot wait for more!
