Depending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall – Review by Whitney Morrison

Depending On YouDepending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Depending on you was so good, and nothing like what I was expecting. It was a story of friendship and strength and honesty. There were so many twists and every time I thought I knew what was going on another twist would happen and leave me speechless. Cate and Patti’s friendship is absolutely amazing and I loved both of them. This is the first I’ve read of the author but I loved the writing style so much that it won’t be the last.

So Right (Love Grows Series Book 5) by Renee Regent – Review by Lisa Helmick

So Right: A Fake Fiancee Reverse Age Gap Romance (Love Grows Series Book 5)So Right: A Fake Fiancee Reverse Age Gap Romance by Renee Regent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a wonderful story! It rolls along nicely and completely enthralled me. I was enjoying the building relationship between these two as well as the troubled pasts. Then there is the family drama that comes along. There is a lot to like about this story.

While I don’t normally enjoy age-gap romances this one is very well done. I liked that they were hesitant for more reasons than just age. This is a slower romance as the story gets set up then it takes off. It feels very believable and that makes their togetherness more sexy and hot.

Overall this is a fun, flirty and sexy story. The characters are done well and fully believable. This isn’t my first book by this author and she never lets me down.

So Right (Love Grows Series Book 5) by Renee Regent – Review by Kerry Carr

So Right (Love Grows, Book 5)So Right by Renee Regent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in the Love Grows series. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone and it is still completely enjoyable. The author does an amazing job with her characters. I like how fiesty their personalities are and also how she gives them both deep painful pasts. This to me makes the characters really come alive and explains why they are so against and unsure about what they are feeling.

Amara is a successful woman. She loves her career but is looking for ways to improve and progress. So when her boss give her the opportunity go and investigate a Inn for weddings she is excited to prove what she can do.
However there’s a catch. She has to go undercover with a Petro her handsome colleague and pretend they are looking to get married. Amara doesn’t like this idea, with one failed marriage she doesn’t want to even think about it again especially not with her younger handsome colleague.

Petro has always fancied Amara but with her walls so high he has never dared to approach her. He sees this assignment as a chance to get close to her and allow her to see the real him. Pretending to be a couple seems a good idea, but what happens when pretending crosses over to being real? And will their past stop this budding relationship before it even begins?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cute and fun reverse age gap, forced proximity, fake fiancé, undercover assignment, workplace romance.

I really enjoyed the character reveal of both the Amara and Petro. We get to know each person little by little, but it doesn’t leave you needing to know ALL the details about each of them right away. In fact, I think the reveal of the past of each of them was very well done without being overplayed (our pasts make up who we are today so those experiences influence how and what we do). This book is told from both her and his POVs so we get an insight into what each of them are thinking and feeling.

I loved the tension between them in the beginning. It wasn’t overdone. I do think it moved a little fast from her not really liking him to looking at him with more intent, but I can appreciate how his opening up to her was enough to soften her resolve against him without it feeling like “instalust”. I did also enjoy that they didn’t just jump into bed together once they realized the other was also attracted but thought out their feelings and the potential consequences (sort of).

I enjoyed the undercover work and the details that came from that. The author did a wonderful job giving enough details of Amara and Petro scouting the Inn to keep you engaged without bogging you down with the nuances of the rolls the characters played.

I also really loved the supporting characters, John (the boss), and the family members of both Petro and Amara. They are (almost) all so supportive of their respective character and bring some added oomph to the story. We also get a quick look at/update on Audrey, who was the FMC in book 3, Not So Far, in this series.

While this is the first book in this series, and of this author, that I’m reading, I’m certainly putting more on my TBR list!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The chemistry is sizzling, and you will find yourself laughing and crying throughout. I found myself going through every emotion in this story. You can tell by the writing that this independent author loves writing contemporary romance stories. Enjoys creating characters that make it easy for us to fall in love with and that they feel real.
Regan is a Bostonian through and through and tough as nails. Jeremy is the suit looking to redevelop a town that is going to be a tough ride. What neither of them expects is that they need each other but will they be able to make it when everything is against them.

Kiss of the Swan by Natalina Reis – Review by Jenni Bishop

Kiss of the SwanKiss of the Swan by Natalina Reis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A twisty romantic fantasy Fairytale retelling where violence and viciousness are commonplace. Where cruelty and arrogance leave others fighting for survival. Yet there is also amazing beauty. There is lots of emotional turmoil in this story. There are secrets and lies, destiny and curses, pain and misery, love and magic, shifters, and witches. It is a world where a despicable king, and his cruel and nasty son reign. It is a story where a reluctant hero finds beauty amongst the pain and suffering. It is a love that neither expected. It is hope that freedom will be won.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amara and Petro are sent by their boss to check out an Inn he really wants to purchase by posing as a couple looking for a wedding venue. At first the idea of pretending to be a couple in love and planning a wedding is difficult for them both but for completely different reasons. As the week away together continues they can no longer fight their attraction and it grows into so much more. If you are after a read with great characters, a wonderful storyline and a HEA then this is the book for you. I will be checking out the rest of the series for sure!

So Right (Love Grows, Book 5)So Right by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

1st off I’d like to say I absolutely loved this book! I was hooked from the very 1st page. If I didn’t have kids and the need to sleep I would’ve NEVER put the book down.
I really enjoyed that it wasn’t one of those love at first sight stories. While I enjoy reading those as well. The fact that there was a little distaste between them made me want to keep going to see how that would be turned around.
I liked that even though this was book 5 in a series you could read it as a standalone. There was mention of characters from the previous stories but there wasn’t anything that made it seem like you had to read them before reading this one. However if you do read them out of order the author writes such amazing stories you’re gonna want to read them all anyway.
Also I don’t know if it was just my imagination getting caught up in the story or if the author intentionally wrote the story with accents but I swear I could hear the Greek accent in my head.

Ruthless Heir (Mafia Elite Book 5) by Amy McKinley – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite, #5)Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I seriously can never get enough from this author or this series in general! Each book they have written I am Truly captivated and hooked. Each book in this series brings secrets and darkness of the character’s own to light, and I am hooked and mesmerized! It takes a skilled author to truly to achieve that again and again!

I love how each one of these books in the series that brings on two characters that are placed together due to unforeseen circumstances. I loved Luc and Summer so freaking much. They had that chemistry that you only dream about. Their ties together seemed like it was just random, but behind every thing that happens with this Mafia in Chicago, there are secrets or skeletons in the closet that always come to light…whether you like it or not. Summer quickly became a fan favorite for me. her intuition was always spot on, and how she saw the world compared to the females in other books was different and enlightening. I learned so much from the way she sees. The moments she and Luc spent together were amazing, the suspense was to die for as well. I freaking loved this one! Loved it so freaking much!

If you have not had the pleasure of reading this amazing author, I must say read books by them as of right this moment! If you have not read other books in this Mafia series, it is best to read from the 1st one to truly understand and get wrapped up in the affairs of the Mafia. This book alone is a must read, it was perfect in every which way, and I highly do recommend it! It is a must read! I am dead serious about that!
