Charlotte: Dr. Richards' Littles 7Charlotte: Dr. Richards’ Littles 7 by Pepper North
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a very interesting book. The subject matter is definitely not one for everyone. Charlotte: Dr. Richard’s Littles 7 is written by Pepper North. If you are not sure what “Littles” are then you definitely need to look it up. If you do know what they are then you just might like this book. Charlotte was on her last leg and was basically going to be living on the streets if she didn’t get this job at this very particular department store. Benton Gordon was the proprietor of the department story. Charlotte intrigued Benton and the more and more that Benton got to know Charlotte, the more he became interested in her socially. However, Benton has very particular tastes and wanted Charlotte to learn about the lifestyle so that perhaps they might have the relationship that he wanted. Charlotte just wanted to be taken care of for once. Of course, this story is a HEA and the two definitely become a couple. There is very little of the sexy stuff in this story but, the “Littles” lifestyle isn’t all about sex. Even though this subject matter isn’t what my tastes lean toward, the story itself was really great and the writing pulled me in and I couldn’t put the book down. This story was definitely interesting and intriguing all in the same token. I applaud the author for writing about a sensitive subject matter and because of writing I want to read her other books in the series and perhaps other books she may have written as well. Well done Pepper North!

Famished (An Ash Park Novel – Book 1) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Melissa Agena

Famished (Ash Park, #1)Famished by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Completely Riveting! I could not put this book down! Famished is a novel written by Meghan O’Flynn. It is the first book in the Ash Park series. This author truly is an amazing writer! I love murder mysteries to begin with and have read some of the greats and this book is right up there with them! This story is spoken from many different points of views. However, it mainly follows a woman named Hannah, who is beyond a little bit on the scared and nervous side. It also follows Detective Petrosky who starts as the lead detective following a series of murders in Ash Park. Every character in this story has a dark past that we learn about as the story unfolds. Every character that is mentioned plays a part that makes the bigger picture. Somehow, Hannah plays the biggest part in all of this story. There are so many twists and turns and everything is so calculated. I was completely glued to my kindle! Unlike some of the main murder mystery writers, this author chose to add in some seriously sexy and steamy scenes. These scenes are pretty graphic but written so incredibly well! This story simply blew me away! I loved the writing and the characters and how everything calculatingly unfolds. I cannot wait for the next book in the series! I would definitely recommend this book to any reader who loves murder mysteries. Absolutely Brilliant! There are no other words to describe it!

Hopelessly Devoted (Bayou Devils MC 1)Hopelessly Devoted by A.M. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

She does it again! AM Myers has written Hopelessly Devoted, which has me completely enthralled. This story is book one in the Bayou Devils MC series and I’m so glad it is the very first book! I am utterly captivated and I could not put this book down! Alison or as she is called Ali is a reporter for a local newspaper when all hell breaks loose and she quits her job! Just as soon as she does that she is offered an even better position for a lifestyle blog, which puts her in a very viral and public position. Storm is the hottie neighbor next door with the sweetest pup named Bear. It’s because of Bear that these two meet. Instant attraction is what brings these two together. Storm however, has a very sad and very dramatic past with women, which means that he tries to fight tooth and nail to stay away from Ali…but of course that doesn’t happen. Ali also has a sorted past with men that makes her want to be very cautious of Storm. That is until they can’t fight it anymore and well…Ali gets a stalker. This book has so many twists and turns! That’s one of the reasons I love it so much! Now, when these two get together, the sexy scenes become scorching hot! They are graphic enough to give you the right amount of imagination. I also love the authors writing style. I felt like I was a part of the story and it was an incredible journey! I love what this MC is all about too! I can’t wait for the next books in the series!

Badge Bunny (Romance in Rehoboth Book 4)Badge Bunny by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My favorite so far! Badge Bunny is the fourth book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by KL Montgomery. You can read this book as a standalone. You don’t need to read the first three to enjoy this book! However, the characters in the other books are featured in this story. In this story we meet up with Dr. Brynne Miller and Corporal Chris Evanston. Brynne is a doctor in the emergency room and Chris is a state trooper that becomes enamored with Brynne while bringing a victim in to the E.R. At this point, Brynne has sworn off ALL cops! Her co-workers have deemed her “Badge Bunny.” But this story is all about understanding that not everyone is as they seem. Turns out that Brynne isn’t as tough as she comes off as and Chris isn’t the womanizer that Brynne thinks he is. Although Chris is harboring a secret he is determined to show Brynne that he really is just a nice guy. Happenstance has them paired up at a wedding and from there is when they learn more about each other and just how much they are great together. Their banter is great and their connection is sizziling. I love the interaction between them and the other characters from the other books. I loved finding out Chris’s secret because it’s definitely not what you think. This book also covers bi-racial marriage and adoptions. This author really knows how to capture the reader and she also knows how to keep them interested. I honestly couldn’t put this down. I would definitely recommend this book!

Sweet Hollow Women By Holly Tierney-Bedord – Review by Melissa Agena

Sweet Hollow WomenSweet Hollow Women by Holly Tierney-Bedord
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book like this and I’m glad I read this book. Sweet Hollow Women is written by Holly Tierney-Bedford and this story is definitely a must read! It’s a great book that follows four generations of women that have grown up in Sweet Hollow, LA. Each chapter is narrated by each one of these women with exceptions from Big Daddy. Starting from the top there is Louisa, Maggie, Rhonda and Carasine. They are all so young and start their lives including having children very young. For some of them, that’s just how it was in their time. For others…it’s just what happens in the rural south. It’s always so mesmerizing to read about generations. All the stories are completely different but when you think about it later…they are all the same. Each one of these women has an amazing and different story. All of their stories intertwine and I liked how the author would jump back and forth between all of them, which helps develop all of the stories. You have to pay attention or you will get a little bit lost. All in all it’s a really great book and one that I believe that all mothers and daughters could read together. I’m definitely going to have my mom read this book and tell me what she thinks. If I had a teenage daughter I would do the same. There are a lot of lessons to be learned from this book but it’s also such an entertaining book because it’s so real.

Resisting the Rancher (Hills of Texas, #2)Resisting the Rancher by Kadie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book! I haven’t read a good country story in a long time! Resisting the Rancher is Book 2 in The Hills of Texas Series by Kadie Scott. Rusty Walker has grown up wanting to take over her family’s ranch. However, the only thing stopping her is her father. Her father resents the fact that she is female and can’t possibly run the ranch because of it. It’s also the same reason why she will never date a man that has to do with the Rodeo circuit. Her father also has a plan for Rusty. Rusty has to marry within the next year to someone that he approves of or she will not be able to take over the ranch. But she is bound and determined to prove that she can do it on her own. Williams “Will” Hill is in the rodeo stock business as well as horses. He is also very handsome. The instant these two eyes meet, something takes over. Instant attraction but Rusty is hell bent on not dating anyone involved with the circuit. But there is something that keeps pulling her back to him and vice versa. Will is ultimately intrigued by Rusty and all of her beauty. What will happen when things are forced between the two? I love the connection that these two have. This book was definitely a page turner! I couldn’t put this book down. The author really knows how to write a story to where you feel like you are there. I can’t wait to read the other books in the series. You do not have to read the first book in order to read this one!

Plot Twist (Romance in Rehoboth Book 3) By K.L. Montgomery – Review By Melissa Agena

Plot Twist (Romance in Rehoboth #3)Plot Twist by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a cute and funny romance! Plot Twist is Book 3 in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L. Montgomery. Although this is the 3rd book in the series you can read this as a standalone. However, characters from the other books are in this one so my suggestion is to read in order. Lindy is a curvy, quiet teacher by day but on stage is where she really shines. Meric is an Accountant that loves to be the spotlight! Meric wasn’t looking for anything but fun seeing as though he is coming out of a marriage. That is until he heard Lindy sing. Lindy has the most beautiful voice. Both of them have auditioned for a musical at the community theater. Lindy’s only problem is her self-confidence except when it comes to her singing. She is a bit on the heavier side and she thinks that she is just plain clumsy. Meric is so enamored by her that he befriends her. He truly does see her and along the way helps her come out of her shell. They are super sweet together and the connection that they have is amazing. This book is definitely a HEA. There isn’t any graphic sexy scenes but just like the other books, this story doesn’t need it. I love how the author uses plus size female character leads. There aren’t many authors out there that do. It makes this story very relatable and in turn a page turner! I would definitely recommend this book!

Fat Girl (Romance in Rehoboth #1)Fat Girl by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW! K.L. Montgomery hit the nail on the head with Fat Girl! I was seriously enthralled with this book being a plus sized woman myself this hit home in a really good way! Claire is pushing 40 and has just recently become a single mom because she just went through a divorce. Not having the right self-esteem can hurt someone. However, when you have a gay bestie who just happens to be a therapist…well let’s just say that closing out her 30’s with a bang is on her way! Re-learning how to take better care of yourself physically and mentally can be a true struggle. One that most women fight with on a daily basis, no matter their size. Not Claire though…this woman takes it in stride and fights with everything she has. This book is funny and charismatic. I loved every bit of this book! It was also relatable, which in turn made this story a page-turner! I couldn’t put this book down! THE STRUGGLE IS DEFINITLEY REAL! Let’s get to the part where Claire tries to find love. Again, something that I can relate to because when you have to turn to online dating, which is becoming more and more popular, it’s still difficult. I can totally vouch for this! So all in all, this book is awesome! I have already started telling people about this book. I can’t wait to read more from this author and I hope they are all like this one!

The Flip (Romance in Rehoboth #2)The Flip by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So freaking cute! The Flip is the second book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L. Montgomery. You do not have to read the first book to read this one. This can be read as a standalone. Sonnet was a little overweight in school and super nerdy. Andrew was a jock and kind of a clown. They grew up together and basically, they were rivals. They didn’t get along at all! Now almost 10 years after high school ended, Andrew’s Aunt Penny has passed away and has left her beach house to both Sonnet and Andrew. So for the next couple of months they have to work together to get the house in order to be able to sell it. However, Sonnet has grown out of her chubby stage and is a bonafide Rocket Scientist. Andrew is still kind of a clown and has gained a few pounds. He works as a bartender and musician. Of course this story is a HEA! This story truly is sweet and I love the chemistry the two have together and I love all the secondary characters as well. There aren’t any sexy scenes in this book and I don’t believe it needs to have it. There is a lot of eluding but nothing elaborate. Again…totally not necessary. I loved the way that the author wrote this story. The words flowed really well and it was definitely easy to read. It was also a definite page turner. I would, without a doubt suggest this book to anyone looking for this type of story. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!!

Flirt (What Happens on Campus – Book 2) By M.L. Sparrow – Review by Melissa Agena

Flirt: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus #2)Flirt: A College Romance by M.L. Sparrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great story! Flirt is the second book in the What Happens on Campus series by M.L. Sparrow. You can read this book as a standalone but I would recommend that you read this in sequence. So this story follows Riley and her journey with loss of a career, addiction and finding who she is. This story also follows Cameron. The boy that has been in love with Riley since he could remember. While Riley goes through her tough times she comes to find love with Cameron. Cameron really helps her with her growth and shows her what true love means. Riley was headed on her way to the Olympics as a gymnast when she hurt herself and wasn’t able to continue her career. So she decided to go to college with her twin sister. Those two couldn’t be any different! But college wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. Riley met a guy who introduced her to all kinds of addictions. This story was definitely a roller coaster but thankfully one that has a HEA. There weren’t too many sexy scenes. This story didn’t need a whole lot of them. But the ones that were there were pretty steamy. Addiction is difficult for anyone, even a rich girl that had huge aspirations. But its how you deal with it that counts and that’s what this book is all about. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I would recommend this series to anyone!
