Little Miss Eyes of BlueLittle Miss Eyes of Blue by Holly Tierney-Bedord
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Little Miss Eyes of Blue was a good four star read and the prequel to The Woman America Loves a Latte. We go back to Vee’s childhood to learn about where she came from and what she dealt with growing up.

My emotions were all over the place. We get a glimpse into how Vee’s parents met and fell in love. And what happened that caused things to fall apart for them. We continue to move forward as Vee grows up, seeing some heart wrenching things happen to her. All I can say is her parents were terrible and only thought about themselves.

There is so much more to this story. Overall I liked this story, it gave me a glimpse into why Vee is the way she is today. Holly does a great job of keeping you aware of what time frame and characters are in each chapter, the detail is great as well. However, the ending has left me with some questions that I hope we see in one of the next books. 1-click and get started today.

Garrett (Dark Water Security #2)Garrett by Madison Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Garrett was a great 5 star read and book two in the Dark Water Security series. Madison continues to pull me in with her writing, I was excited to get Garrett and Hopes story.

Garrett has a new job with Dark Water Security, he will be a live in security person. He will be sharing a living area with someone else who works for the guy. What he doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face with the woman who walked away after one night two years ago, the woman he hasn’t been able to forget about since.

Hope is shocked when she sees Garrett, it sends her into a near panic attack. Seeing him brings back memories of what happened that night two years ago. Something happened after Hope left Garrett, but what? Can Garrett finally get the answer he’s looking for?

These two reignite their connection the more they spend time together. You can feel it coming off the pages. Overall I really enjoyed both characters very much. The secondary characters were great and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. If you’re looking for a great new series, I highly recommend this one.

Broken PiecesBroken Pieces by Judith B. Pinkard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Broken Pieces was an emotional four star read.
This is my first read by Judith B. Pinkard and her debut as well.
This is a heartbreaking biographical novel.

This is a story that really makes you think about life choices. Helen and Ernest are in a life altering accident with there friends and baby Judy. This is where Helen’s life spiraled out of control with addiction and coping.

We all have a story to tell, and we all suffer in various ways. However, the ability to use pain
to help others is our duty-a transcendent obligation.

Judy’s story was familiar in some ways that I could relate slightly. There were other times my heart went out to her. There are some shocking twist and turns. It took a lot of courage to write this story and I hope it also gave some peace to Judith as well.This is not my normal genre to read but I really enjoyed reading Judith’s story. Thank you!

Hate to Love You (Baker's Bunch Book 1)Hate to Love You by Lily Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hate to Love You was a good 4 star read and book one in the Baker’s Bunch series.

Samantha’s world has been turned upside down. Her brother is in the hospital and she has a secret that could really hurt people she loves. When Cole shows up to comfort her and take her to the hospital things take a heated turn. Cole quickly puts a stop to it, knowing that Samantha is forbidden, she is his best friend’s sister.

Samantha has had a crush on Cole for years. Cole has also noticed Samantha, but her brother has pretty much threatened him and told him hands off. With emotions running high and the heat between them, can they deny their feelings? Can they possibly get a HEA?

I overall enjoyed this read but I had some very high frustration levels with Sam. I had to keep telling myself she’s only 17. There is a lot of misinterpretations and misunderstandings, that add to the drama. There is also a learning piece, don’t always believe what you see and get the real story from those involved. The secondary characters were good and added a great element to the story. I actually would like to see more from these two and look forward to reading more from this series.

Surviving Valencia was an emotional 5 star read.
This was my first read from this author. She pulled me right in with her writing.

We jump from past to present as we learn about Valencia’s past growing up with her siblings. She is now happily married to Adrian trying to move on with her life.

Growing up Val’s parents were always falling all over her siblings and treating her like a nobody. They were the popular kids in high school and could do no wrong. Your heart broke for the things this poor girl went through.

Things take some interesting twists when Adrian gets a mysterious letter in the mail. She’s not sure if she should confront him with what she finds or if she’s misinterpreting the contents. Are things as great as they appear to be in their marriage?

There is so much more that goes on in this great read. There are several twists and turns. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. I despised Valencia’s parents, they were horrible.

Me and Cinderella (The Dirty Rooster #2)Me and Cinderella by Kelly Mooney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Me and Cinderella was a great 5 star read and book two in The Dirty Rooster series.
I loved this story so much, once I started I couldn’t put it down. It was a late night (early morning for me)

Eli has returned home for a few weeks because his dad is going to be released from prison soon. He wants to help his little brother and possibly his mother. What he didn’t prepare for was Remy living with his sister Shea. Remy is the woman he left behind nine years ago, she is his sisters best friend. Remy is the rich girl he wasn’t good enough for, so he thought. She has turned into a very beautiful woman and has sparked something in him.

She was downright the sweetest girl I knew, but she was always going to be Cinderella to me. She was the delicate flower I spent years protecting, and I ended up being the one who crushed her.

Remy has her own drama going on and when Eli finds her in his room he is shocked. He does a great job of supporting her and they end up getting even closer. We get some very hot and steamy moments from them. What will happen when Eli leaves in a few weeks? Will he stay or will he ask her to join him? Can they have a HEA?

I loved these two so much and all of the secondary characters were great. I loved his brother and sister but despised Remy’s father. I had near heart failure when there was a huge twist that left me in tears. We do get a well deserved HEA with a great epilogue. I look forward to reading more from this series and I wouldn’t mind seeing more from Remy and Eli.

He is determined to find her and find out why she disappeared.

When Noah find’s Kady it’s not easy. She is pushing him away and wants nothing to do with him. She’s afraid that with Noah around that “he” will find her again.

There are several unexpected twist and turns that added so much more to this story. There were parts that left me in tears, thinking about what Kady went through. Can Kady and Noah get back to what they once had? Can they get a HEA?

I really liked all of the secondary characters, it’s great seeing some from the other books making appearances. If you’re looking for a great read that will pull you right in you will like this book and series. I really liked the ending and would love to see more from these two. 1-click and get started today.

Captivated by the MillionaireCaptivated by the Millionaire by Nina Singh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Captivated by the Millionaire was a great 4 star read.

Jess is an artist and loves working with children. She is painting a castle mural on the wall of a child’s bedroom getting it ready for when the family moves in. This is when she meets Jordan, the first meeting didn’t go well and they clearly started off on the wrong foot. Jordan was irritated with her and made her leave without letting her finish.

Jordan is a millionaire who has recently gotten custody of his 6 year old sister, Sonya. He is hardened against any relationships due to what he watched his father go through and his two priorities are his job and sister. Needless to say Jordan ends up eating crow and apologizing to Jess for his actions.

What manner of sorceress was this young lady? She beguiled him. Did something to his senses he wasn’t familiar with nor prepared for.

There is so much more to this great read. I loved the connection that Jess had with Sonya and Jordan. They were all meant to be together. Of course nothing comes easy and there were some ups and downs as both Jordan and Jess dealt with their fears of being in a relationship. This is my first read from Nina Singh and I really enjoyed it. I look forward to reading more.

A Cold Dark Place (Cold Justice, #1)A Cold Dark Place by Toni Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Cold Dark Place was a thrilling 5 star read and book one in the Cold Justice series.
I was pulled in right from the beginning.

The FBI had once estimated there were approximately two-hundred and fifty serial killers active in the US at any one time. Alex’s job was whittling that number down.

Mallory is an FBI agent who is working hard to put serial killers away. She is also searching for the one responsible for taking her sister from her 18 years ago. Alex is an assassin who is working towards freedom by hunting serial killers, he is counting down the days.

When Mallory discovers a serial killer dead at a crime scene she suspects there is someone else they should be looking for. This is where Alex comes in, he decides to watch her and make sure she doesn’t discover who he is. This is where things take an interesting twist and get even better.

There is so much more to this great mystery and suspenseful read. There are secrets revealed and you continue to be on the edge of your seat until your done. I was very happy with how everything came together in the end. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Blade’s Edge: Satan’s Devils MC #10 by Manda Mellett – Review by Michelle Austin

Blade's Edge (Satan's Devils MC #10)Blade’s Edge by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blade’s Edge was a great 5 star read and book 10 in the Satan’s Devils MC series.

I became an adult with a hatred of authority, and a deep suspicion of women. I didn’t trust either.

This is Blade’s story, he is the enforcer for the MC and we get a look into his past and get to know the man much better and discover what drove him to want to be an enforcer, I found myself pulled in by him.

Blade and the prospect end up running off what they thought was a hungry vagrant. But fate would bring this woman back into his life and cause him to reveal a secret he’s held for over 18 years. What is it about this woman?

Tash is running for her life, the best way to stay out of sight is to live on the streets. This is where she meets Tommy, and what a big sweetheart he was. When Tash and Tommy are attacked, Tommy goes to the people that Tash told him helped her, Enforcer and Prospect.

Can Blade and the MC help Tash? Or will they end up taking her back to the man she is fleeing from?

There is so much more to this great read. All of the characters were great and I loved Tommy so much, I know someone like Tommy and I understood him so much. All of the MC’s guys were great with him as well even though they are tough as nails bikers. Tash and Blade were great as well, she was perfect for him once he let her in. I have to say this is my favorite from this series so far and I look forward to reading more. Please give me more Tommy. This is a must read series.

What She Lost and Found by M.L. Garcia – Review by Michelle Austin

What She Lost And FoundWhat She Lost And Found by M.L. Garcia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What She Lost and Found was a great 5 star read.

Daniela had everything going for her, she and her best friend were in college having a great time. Until a couple of tragic nights happen that send everything spiraling out of control for Daniela.

We jump ahead to Dani at a different college. She is struggling with trusting others, especially men. She has a set schedule for work and school that she follows exactly. When a hot guy comes into the coffee shop where she works, he causes her to feel things she hasn’t felt in a very long time. She ends up growing very close to Nathan, so close that she sees him as a best friend but he wants more. Then she meets Alex, which throws even more of a wrench into things.

We learn even more about Alex and Nathan. Nathan had me at hello, I really loved him and Dani would frustrate me with the choices she would make. Alex was ok but not my first choice. We get even more of a twist when someone starts to stalk Dani, bringing up feelings from the past. My emotions were all over the place with the twist and turns. The secondary characters were great, I loved Bridget. M.L. Garcia has done a great job of pulling me right in with her writing. I loved this book and I can’t wait to read more from her.
