The Scottish Play (PolyAm Fam Book 1)The Scottish Play by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the PolyAm Fam series. First off Molly Rose the main character is a curvy girl and I love a book with a strong curvy FMC. Lachlan is Scottish and agrees to help out in a student’s thesis project. The sparks between Molly and Lachlan as the play progresses. Molly is part of a polycule. This is the first poly book I have read and I found the whole dynamic interesting.

Out of Bounds (Game Time)Out of Bounds by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book I have dread of the Game Time Series and I just loved it. Wyatt (Bax) and Piper have unbelievable chemistry. Neither of them were looking for a romance but what they found could be more than they thought they would ever find. Piper is so strong and independent and Wyatt is more than anyone realizes.

Delayed Redemption (The DAG Team Series) by Kel O’Connor – Review by Michelle Collier

Delayed Redemption: DAG Team Series: Book 3 of 4 Special Ops Romantic SuspenseDelayed Redemption: DAG Team Series: Book 3 of 4 Special Ops Romantic Suspense by Kel O’Connor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the DAG Team Series. This is the first one that I have read and I didn’t feel like I was lost so it can be read as a stand alone. It did make me want to go back and read the first 2 books. Mateo wanted out of his life of crime. Janey had finally got her life on track after escaping her abusive home life. Neither of them expected to see the other again. He had saved her before, could he do it again? Would the twist of fate that brought them together destroy them both? The dynamic between Mateo and Janey is sweet and spicy. I absolutely loved the characters in this story.

Cutter: Devils' Spawn DaddiesCutter: Devils’ Spawn Daddies by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a Daddy dom/Middle book and my first time reading this trope. There is ageplay in this book. I found the dynamic between Cutter and Emily intriguing. She is a cop and he is in a MC. There is lots of suspense as well as a fair amount of spice.

Deceptively Yours (Titans of Chicago, #1)Deceptively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Titans of Chicago but this series is in the same world as the Titans of Manhattan series. This was a great second chance romance. Harper and Gabriel thought they would be together forever until the unthinkable happened and she was ripped from him, then she destroyed him. The dynamic between these two is explosive when they meet up again. I love the world that has been built in these series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Shattered Embrace Series. This book just had everything. Best friend’s brother, billionaire bossy male, opposites attract. I could not put it down. The dynamic between Ashton and Zachary was enough to keep me on edge and the spice was enough to melt my kindle around the edges. I will definitely be reading the next book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Kings of Screen series. It can be read as a standalone. This is a great fake relationship story but there is also a friends to lovers aspect to it that I loved. Ros and Jackson chemistry is awesome if they can ever get out of their own heads.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a collection of 7 books all centered around the Rocklyn family. This was a great mix of stories, each giving you a look at how each couple got together. It is a pretty steamy collection of so many different story tropes. I really enjoyed getting to know this family.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Capture the Light Series. I have not read the first book in the series but this one was such a sweet story. It was more than just a romance.

A Heart So Savage (The Savage Duet #2)A Heart So Savage by April Moran
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the conclusion to The Savage Duet. This is not a sweet romance. This story is dark and like the name says savage. Kingston and Ava have to find their way in this world. He wants her protected but he can’t seem to protect her from himself. This is the type of story where he would burn down the world for her. I loved watching the way this story played out and how much the characters learned about themselves along the way.

This is book 1 of Jade. An age gap romance of 2 people that were never meant to be together. Nasser was broken and lost and only Jade seemed to be able to pull him back to the land of the living. Jade was broken in her own ways. Together they find what they each need even though everyone tries to keep them apart. It was a good story with a compelling story. This story will continue in book 2.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the final book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series and my heart is broken. I loved this series so much. This is the final part of Shane and Winter’s story. There are many twists and turns throughout this story. I can’t say enough about this series. If you have not had a chance to read it you are really missing out. The whole series is just so well written. If I could, I would go back and read the whole series again for the first time.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Hot Flash Hookups series and I loved it. I laughed so hard at so much of this book. The fact that the characters were aging and not perfect 20 something’s was awesome. Olivia and Roman’s story is wonderful. What is more fun then having their respective kids meddle in their romance. I can’t wait for the second book to come out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the seventh book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series. I am completely in love with this series. I am trying not to think that this is the last duet of the series because I just don’t want this all to be over. So finally we get Shane’s story. He has been such a mystery since the beginning of this series. At last his story begins to unravel. His and Winter’s story is so compelling. There is so much to dig into and uncover. I flew through this book and am now sitting here waiting until I can read the conclusion to this story even though i just really don’t want it all to end.

Melt My HeartMelt My Heart by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the North Fork Series but it is the first one that I have read. Caleb and Wynter are brought together when they help rescue a stray dog. They both make assumptions about the other but they also just can’t seem to stay away from each other. Neither one is wanting a relationship after the disasters of their past relationships. There are forces beyond their control that keep pulling them back to each other. This story was well written and kept me wanting more.

I can not wait to read the next book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am never disappointed when I read a story of this author. This story was very compelling. Jacob has been made a guardian of Vanessa. All he wants is to marry her off, that is until he spends time with her. She is everything that he does not want yet he can’t fight his feelings. This story is full of deception and secrets. There is even a ghost. I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
