I Love You Today (The Trading Heartbeats Trilogy Book 2)I Love You Today by Julie Navickas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Going into this book, I knew it could be read as a stand alone. Now that I have read it, I do need to go back to book 1 to see if things make better sense to me. This book is written in third person with some internal dialogue in between.

Austin has been in love with a girl that isn’t his. She is engaged to his BFF. He helps them pack her stuff up to move back to California from Chicago. His job provides him with the opportunity in Chicago that he can’t refuse. It comes at a great time to give him space away from her and him. In Chicago he meets back up with the girl he didn’t know he needed. Someone different to keep his mind occupied or maybe someone to change how he feels. His job throws him a curve ball and offers him a position of a lifetime back in California. Now he left to decide on his dream job or the girl that stole his heart.

I loved this heart warming story with baseball thrown in. If you are looking for a book that started out like what the heck and gets pieced back together then this book is for you.

The Warrior (The Freemasons #3)The Warrior by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just Wow. This is the 3rd installment in the Freemason series. I am always captivated when it comes to a good military story, even when it may not be the main plot. I absolutely love Jude and Sienna’s story. The attraction they have for one another is strong. When Sienna reveals when they truly first met, Jude is taken aback. He realizes that they have more in common than he originally thought. The way their story unfolds is just amazing. I love that the author shows us how strong Sienna is all while showing her vulnerability as well. Jude is not just a protector but the things that are revealed even has me swooning about how much of a good man he is.  I am looking forward to the next installment as I feel in each book you are given a glimpse as to what’s to come.

The Victor (The Freemasons #1)The Victor by Nicole Flockton

I went into this story not really knowing much. I didn’t really read the blurb or anything. The story is written in third person. It was pretty fast paced and gave you a good story. The biggest thing I took away from this story is that communication is big in relationships. I could relate to some of the things that happened in both Ava and Cole’s life. There was a section when Ava tells Cole something that was hard from over the months that brought me to shed a couple of tears as if I heard someone say those words to me. By the time I got to the end I was so happy it ended with an HEA but I do wonder about Cole’s friends.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked this book. It was well written and a quick read. Jake and his friends agreed to select a blind date from an app for each other. Jake is the first to be set up. The typical girls they have dated are always after their money or status. The App is suppose to be a way for them to meet someone on literally a true blind date. I really loved the concept of the app as it is definitely unique. Lauren’s friend who is rich wants to set her up using the same app. The biggest issues Lauren has with her friend setting her up is that she doesn’t want someone who has money. Who she ends up on the blind date with is the last person she expected. I can’t wait to read the next installment.

Rivals (Mafia Elite, #7)Rivals by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love that the book starts off with a list of each family and who each were married to etc.

Mia Tucci is a NY Mafia Princess who wants away from her family. Everyone knows there is no way out of the mafia life. She set her mind on Nico who could offer her the protection she needs to get away from her family. Nico is part of the Chicago mafia which has more power than the NY mafia. Nico never seen himself settling down until Mia propositioned him. She stirs so much in him from can he trust her, wanting to know why she wants out and is his heart opening to her.

I love that Mia is strong, stubborn and loveable. The fact the author includes all of the women that are part of the Chicago mafia and they are just as hard core as the men is a bonus. This book gives you anger, love, twist and turns and a sense of redemption.

Fairly Royal (The Fair Series Book 4) by Grace Grahme – Review by Maria Colon

Fairly Royal (Fair, #4)Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first book that I have read by Grace Grahme.
She gives us a great story about Philip, who is Earl of Arburne and Anna who is his best friends sister. Anna is strong, witty and smart. I love that she doesn’t change who she is for anyone. Philip is as most see royals, very straight laced. (At least in the public eye.) The author gives you a good look at both characters sense of humor, heart and work ethic. A good glimpse at melding two different worlds. You will laugh, get frustrated and even start to think you know what is coming in some instances. As their relationship moves from friends to something possibly more there is drama but also some of the most swoon worthy scenes. I did learn quite of few Scottish words.

One of my favorite lines that had me laughing was “I’m crying more than a nun at a sinner’s convention.”
