Karen is a teacher who has some pretty high walls in place, that is until she meets Brody. Brody has returned home and things get very interesting.

This was a fun 5 star read. We learn right from the beginning just what kind of men Bree seems to be attracting. She once again strikes out and calls her best friend. Her friend encourages Bree to take tennis lessons and try to meet some other people. Bree has a brief encounter with a man while getting chinese takeout, great accent but he looked athletic, a hard no for her. When she goes to her tennis lesson, fate steps in and she sees the man again, Nate. She makes it very clear to Nate that she is not interested in dating him.

This was a great 5 star read. This author has once again pulled me in with her writing and I loved it. Dwarf has a hard time with women, he has been used in the past so his walls are pretty high. While on his way home one night he unexpectedly finds himself avoiding something that came out on the road. This brings him face-to-face with Raven who was very scared. Lets just say things take an interesting twist from here, and if you like creepy you will like this.
Dwarf is drawn to Raven and wants to protect her. They have some similar backgrounds that also connect them, they were great support for each other. You get a little bit of everything in this read and you won’t want to stop until you’re done. It felt like we got several different stories in one, we do get a taste of the paranormal as well.

This was a great 5 star read. Kendall is in town for work and Pete opens his home to her. What he doesn’t expect is how grown up Kendall has become and how tempting she is. Kendall has had a crush on Pete since she was really young. Problem is he is her brother’s best friend.

Overall I really enjoyed the book. We have Pete who is a hot as heck baseball player who isn’t looking for commitment and Kendall who finally has the chance to go for what she has wanted for years, loved her braveness and strength. We get some steamy moments. The author pulls you in with her writing, I was done before I knew it. I like that the characters jumped right into things we didn’t have a should we or shouldn’t we for half the book type thing. I look forward to reading more from the series and author. 1-click and get started today.

I really enjoyed this historical romance very much. The couple were loveable and I also learned some history of the vineyards in Portugal which I enjoyed. Julia is taking care of her family winery when she meets Griffin. Griffin has come to Portugal to obtain the vineyard. When these two meet there is an instant connection. The more time they spend together the closer they get. There is a twist and the vineyards are at risk, will Julia be able to save them? Will Griffin help her?
Overall this was a great read. Julia was a strong willed woman that is very protective of her family and Griffin grew on me as the story progressed he came across arrogant in the beginning. After reading this story I would love to visit Portugal and the vineyards there. The author does a great job with her writing and you feel like you are right there. This is my first read from this author. I look forward to reading more from this series. Grab a glass of wine 1-click and get started today on this wonderful story.

I really enjoyed this book, this author is quickly becoming one of my favorites to read. I was pulled in right from the beginning and read it in one sitting. I got a chuckle at how Gage and Juliet first met. Fate steps in and he ends up seeing her again at an underground fight.
Juliet is with Ten at a fight that they are relying on him to win so they don’t lose their apartment. Things take a twist that brings Juliet fact-to-face with Gage again who offers advice that hurts more than it helps them. Gage ends up offering them a place to stay and lets just say things take a very interesting twist. You could feel the chemistry coming off the pages. Will they all get a HEA? Or will certain choices ruin everything they have?
I really enjoyed this read and these three characters. They all had great personalities and strengths. We also get some very steamy scenes from them. We get all sorts of twists and turns that added a great element to the story. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.
