Betrayal at the Beach by K.L. Montgomery a thrill of a five-star read. This has it all, a great story, librarians, and a mystery thrown in for good measure. I adore this author and all of the hats they wear; I enjoy how each story has its own details, there isn’t a scene that doesn’t fit, just because it may be what they are known for, it adds more power to each story. I started this one after being on a massive reading binge and was expecting that my great reading would start to slow, but this just added more excitement to my reading, it kept me guessing and just added to my love of reading overall. I am always excited to see a librarian as a character in a story and this gave me joy in spades.

Montgomery – Review by Sara Oxton
Maggie is a well written book that you can fully immerse yourself into. As you listen to the story you find yourself connecting with the different character’s as their lives are described to you and as they develop throughout the story.

Wow. I’m not sure what I expected when I picked up this book but this book completely transfixed me from the beginning. Moving and emotional and romantic. Plenty of tension and struggle. The author does a beautiful job conveying the emotion between these characters. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to more from this author.

My Lips Are Sealed is book one in the Sealed With a Kiss series by Carmen Richter. This is part of a trilogy and needs to be read in order. My Lips Are Sealed is a new adult romance but can be enjoyed by all ages. I really got into this story and was quite surprised by the style in which the author wrote the story. The characters were intelligent, yet a little naive. Zoe had a lot going on for her young age. Elijah came into her life at a very pivotal time in her life. There was a little of a lot to this story. A little intrigue, a little tension, a little betrayal, a little teen angst, and a lot of discovery and maturing. The author captures the inner feelings of each character. Some I loved, some I detested. But all provoked thoughts and impressions. The story was well thought out and the delivery was well executed. I felt completely enthralled by this story and felt the impact of all that is this amazing tale. 4 stars.

I loved this story the twists and turns within the story makes it a compelling read, the characters are well developed and enhance the story and drives the main story through until the very end. The story follows multiple point of views and this just adds to the mystery. It was great how Alicia and her friend unravels the mysteries and this grows until the last word.
This is the first book I have read by this author and would love to read more in the future.

This story was interesting, a little fast paced but definitely romantic. Adenine has her career path all planned out, and the first step after college is to work for Stone Enterprises. Thanks to her soriety sister, she’s on her way to work as Stone’s personal assistant and away from her clingy ex. As soon as Adeline arrives in Italy, she feels a connection with the hotel and also a connection to Stone, which she can’t explain. When Stone needs her to be his fake fiancé for a business deal, she’s more than happy to help out, but on her own terms. Adeline was a likeable character that seemed to be older than she actually was, she was extremely confident and took charge, not letting anyone walk over her, including Stone. Stone was a cool headed business guy, but something about the hotel was making him uncomfortable, but he can’t figure out what it is. The mix of dreams and a past life made this story interesting to read, and also helped explain the instant attraction between these two. The epilogue was also a nice touch. I listened to this story as an audio book, the narration was easy to listen to and I would happily listen to a book read by Regan Brown again.

Love Unexpected by Marina Hanna is a brilliant contemporary romance. I found this to be quite a quick and easy book to read, I fell straight into the story and really got behind the characters. The characters were strong and relatable – I thought Jules was so fiesty! It took a little getting to know both of the characters but I liked how their story developed more as it the book went on. The author has done a great job with the writing too. It is well paced from start to finish and effortlessly pulls you in. If you have already this is definitely a book worth reading.

No matter where she goes, USA Today Bestselling author Nikki Lynn Barrett hears voices in her head. Instead of calling her crazy and locking her up, her family realizes it’s just a product of being an author and allows her to write the stories so that the voices shut up.
But they don’t. And probably never will. There’s no need to lock her up, Nikki knows she’ll never escape the voices, not until each and every last story is written. And for every story she writes, about ten or more ideas pop up.
When she isn’t slaving away at her computer writing books that will probably make you cry and keep you in suspense, Nikki plots to take over the world one book at a time. What? It’s a sickness. One she can’t escape!
Books aren’t her only addiction, though. Nikki can be found making up parodies to drive her son crazy, and bantering back and forth with her husband, who somehow manages to steal her away from the fictional world she lives in all the time.
Nikki lives in Arizona with her husband and son, where she can be found using every creativity outlet she can find through music, photography, handcrafted things, and random interests that she may pick up from time to time.
She’s not wicked, but every spell she tries to cast goes awry in one way or another. After her last screw-up, the high priestess has threatened to bind her powers and turn her human for good.
Crimson’s solution? Challenge the priestess to a battle of magic she can’t possibly win.
Not without a miracle, anyway.
Enter hotter-than-hellfire demon Mike Cortez. He’s a devil’s advocate who can make anyone’s dreams come true…for a price. He’s had his eye on the seductive witch for a while, and Satan is in the market for a new assistant.
But Mike wants to date her, not damn her.
When he accidentally makes a deal condemning Crimson to an eternity of satanic servitude, they’ll have to go to hell and back to outsmart the devil and save the witch’s soul.
Ride along on a journey from the Big Easy to the underworld and back again in this fast, steamy romantic comedy!

When the body is later identified as his ex-boyfriend Randy doesn’t want to believe it. How can that be his ex when his ex was supposed to have died a few years prior?

But when her sister-in-law who can communicate with the dead points the finger at Randy who is she to believe? Will they be able to find the culprit before Randy has the book thrown at him?
This is the second book in the Shadow of a Doubt series. Just like with the first book in the series, Rebecca Remains, the main characters keep you invested. I have come to enjoy books by this author very much. Due to some of the content talked about in this book I would not recommend it to anyone under the age of 18. I am looking forward to the next installment in this series. I can’t wait to see what the author has up her sleeve.

A steamy MMF “bad boy” rock star romance. 4/5 Stars
“Exhale and move on” is a mantra Rick Fars has lived by. When something isn’t going right, just exhale and move on. He has become a bit disenfranchised with the “rock star” life. Sure he’s still getting laid and having fun, but it has become more of the same old. That is until he starts allowing himself to feel his feelings, and to explore what they could be if he followed through on them.
I really enjoyed listening to Rick’s story, and jeesh was the sex HOT. There’s BDSM scenes, M/M, and (multiple) threesomes. This story is not for the faint of heart with the explicitness.
I enjoyed the insight to the turmoil someone in the spotlight could be feeling in their relationships and with themself. Rick is someone who is still exploring who he is and what he wants in life. He may be the “bad boy” but he also has a soft side, planning a benefit concert for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The one thing that made me not be able to give “Exhale and Move On” a 5-star rating was the bouts of slight homophobia from one of the prominent characters. While that may be more realistic, I wasn’t a fan of reading that in a romance novel meant to be MMF.
I have not read K.L. Shandwick before, but the smooth writing (and narration) in this novel drew me in. I also enjoyed all the information about the the other couples and musicians surrounding Rick, leaving me researching the other books with said characters.
Bolton Hill also did a fabulous job narrating “Exhale and Move On.” His voice and tone was spot on for everything. He sounded like he was actually experiencing the feelings the characters were.

Shandwick – Review by Alexandria Richard
Date Night is a really cute fun romance by KM Lowe. Despite being just over 100 pages, it is a full story and we really get to know and love the characters. Hannah and Kyle have worked together on several projects over the years, but have never met. Their correspondence has always been through email. When they finally meet, sparks fly for both of them. However, due to past failed relationships, neither of them is looking for anything, and both have sworn off relationships for the foreseeable future. Their business meeting turns out to be enjoyable for both of them, so they agree to meet once more. Simply for a no strings attached Date Night. But will things really stop at that… guess you need to read to find out!

The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive Audio Book by India Kells
This isn’t the first book I’ve had a chance of listening to. India Kells is an amazing author and Antonio Turner is an amazing narrator.
Lani is a web designer and painter. She loves her art and dreams of her own studio. Needing to find a way out of working on anymore designs. The quote I chose for Lani is: “I’m Emilio McKay’s niece. He just died.”
Max was Lani’s uncle’s friend. He’s in charge of Lani’s inheritance. When he falls for her things turn to be the same for her. The quote I chose for Max is: “To be honest I’m not surprised. It’s very much the Emilio McKay that I’ve known.”
Highly recommended for Erotica Romance lovers.

The Inheritance, The Story of an Unlikely Submissive AUDIO BOOK by India Kells and Narrated by Antonio Turner. This is my first audible book narrated by Antonio Turner and hot dang he did a great job. I’ve read several books by this author but I’m just starting to get into audible and this book was definitely worth the listen. I will recommend not listening when around little ears. This is a hot and steamy book that will definitely leave you needing to cool down at times. This is about Lani and Max , she finds out her uncle has left her an Inheritance but he also put conditions on it she has to fulfill before she can have it. This is where Max comes in he’s going to help her complete the tasks. She had no idea she was missing something in her life until she met Max. Their chemistry is off the charts. I highly recommend giving this a listen. I’m definitely going to check out more books narrated by Antonio Turner.

I will start out by saying that this was the first book I have ever listened to in this genre. With that being said I thought this book was fantastic. K.L. Shandwicks writing style and story line of sex, drugs and rock and roll were easy to listen to. Not to mention how much she and Rick Fars made me want to jump in and have some fun of my own.
Rick finds himself faced with challenges like most rock stars they don’t find love easily. Lifestyles can change in minutes when the past comes knocking on the door or old flames try to rekindle something and you have to choose what makes you happy even if that makes others uncomfortable but in the end you have to do what makes you happy and try something new. Some people will understand you and some will not. You know what, that’s ok. So just be yourself and Exhale and Move On.

Due 5/7 Murder at Honeybee Lake (Shadow of a Doubt #2) by Jessica Akien Hall
This is another great series by Akien-Hall. She knows how to bring the stories to life. Her characters seem to come to life and I love that.
Mandy is an author who writes romance. Her wife Emily is supportive of the work. When she gets a disturbing phone call from her brother things get freaky. The quote I chose for Mandy is: “Well, it’s not like pre-baby Tessa, but you know how it is. She’s got her hands full. And now that Tommy’s back to work I bet she’s even more exhausted.”
Randy is finding himself after a horrible past relationship. When his boyfriend finds a dead body things go south. When things point back to him his sister steps in. The quote I chose for Randy is: “Of course. I love you Benjamin Davis. Everything is going to be alright. Don’t you worry.”

Date Night is about 2 people who have had a working relationship via phone calls and emails for years. Both Hannah Banana aka Hannah Brently and Kyle Randall have had really bad luck with love and Valentine’s Day. Here they are having a meeting in person after so many years and both are attracted to eachother. They end up going on a dinner date to discuss work Hannah will be doing for Kyle. They end up being very happy spending time together and find it very easy to talk to.
Hannah runs into someone she knows at one of Kyles hotels but Kyle does what he can to get her not to think about it. When Hannah wakes up one morning with a note from Kyle she lets her mind get the best of her and automatically thinks the worst. Luckily for Hannah she has a great best friend who helps her work thru lots of things. Will Kyle and Hannah be able to have a personal relationship or will they just be casual business friends with the occasional date night? I thought this book was very well written and I liked most of the characters. All except Kirk!

Date Night by K.M. Lowe is a quick and easy read that sweeps you off your feet from page one. This author has a fantastic way of using words to create scenes that are easily imagined. I became so swept up in the drama of characters Hannah and Kyle that, before I knew it, I had the book read. I really related to the bitter-with-love characters and their cynicism towards dating and falling in love. That was definitely me before finally meeting my husband! This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I was thoroughly delighted. I recommend this fun book 4 out of 5 stars!

Relentless: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards #4) by Via Mari
This is another fantastic read by Mari. The Billionaire Bodyguards Series is fantastic. This just keeps getting better each book I read. This is the fourth book in this series.
Dereck is helping a buddy out. When he finds himself falling for a friend of his buddy’s girl. He wants to help out and he wants to keep her safe. The quote I chose for Dereck is: “I’ll get you to a safe place, but close enough to see what’s going on. We’re short men, so I need to focus on the task at hand, and if you’re in danger, my focus will be on you. Put this in, Layla. You’ll be plugged into the team chat. Stay off the line unless you need something. I know how much this means to you, and for the record, I wouldn’t have really left you home if you hadn’t been listening, but you would be watching from a safe place and not in the middle of a fucking mafia war zone if it were up to me.”
Layla is trying to do what she thinks is right. When she finds herself falling for the hottie. She isn’t sure what’s going to happen now, but she’ll go with the flow. The quote I chose for Layla is: “You didn’t need to, papi. But don’t worry. See, I’m a big girl, and men like you don’t intimidate me. I can handle any shade you throw.”

Bovine Tricks by Seelie Kay is the first book in the Royals Gone Rogue series. The story features MISix Agent Mathilda Honoria Spencer and her partner Agent Abdul Ali looking for the missing Lady Annabelle Trask. I have enjoyed this author’s books in the past and enjoyed this one as well. The story is creative and not your usual missing-person story. At times I wondered where the story was going but it added to the fun of the story. This is a quick read with romance and special agents. I enjoyed Agent Mathilda, Tillie, her reactions to the situation made me laugh and made her a relatable character. I look forward to reading more in this series to see what happens next.

Exhale and Move On AUDIO BOOK by K.L. Shandwick – Review by Michelle Collier
My rating 4 out of 5
This is the first book by K. L. Shandwick I have read. This book is extremely well written. The characters are vivid and you find yourself wanting them to find what they have been looking for and need in their life. Love and acceptance of your wants and needs is what most people search for and this book is all about not only others acceptance but of the characters acceptance of themselves. Be careful not to burn yourself from the heat coming off this book.

Shandwick – Review by Michelle Collier
This was an excellent story with a strong adventurous storyline. The way the main character was just unapologetically herself was extremely inspiring because to see someone at 11 so confident in who they are is not the norm. The relationships between her and her family are precious and so much love is completely visible in every interaction. I loved the hints given throughout the book that kept me guessing and curious about what was coming next. I want to know more about Storey and I hope there is more about Storey!

5/5 stars Twisted Thriller Wow! Wow! Wow! It is definitely the best thriller I’ve read this year. Alicia seems like the quiet, little housewife with the perfect life, the perfect family, etc. Throw in some besties, clandestine texts, and hidden secrets and BAM! Fireworks. This book had me from page 1 with its well -written plots and twists. Watching Alicia develop into a stronger woman made the book feel so personal. And who is this crazy mistress, Faith? What has Eliot gotten them into?…… You have got to read this book. You won’t be able to put it down until you finish it.
If the cover alone doesn’t make you fall in love immediately, the stories within definitely will. Each story has a twist on some well known and some not so much known Myths. You have your choice of Robin hood all the way to the love story of Hades and Persephone. The authors I felt shined differently in their takes and retelling of each story. I adored “Mistress of the sky and stars” by Laura Greenwood that focused around Geb and Nut , two Gods, a forbidden love story. Also “I do it for you” by Louisa Line, a retelling of Robin Hood. Each book will have you glued to the pages. I can’t wait to add these authors to my list and find more of their stories.
