Wild For Me by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the 3rd book in The Balefire Series. The story of Annabelle and Dakota is so good. This is a second chance romance as long as they both get out of their own heads and admit what they truly feel for each other. There is just so much to this story. Each book in this series just gets better.
Cruel Love by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the 6th book in the HiddenValley elite series. This is the conclusion of Phoenix and Aspen’s story. The story took twists that I totally was not expecting. I am completely hooked on this whole series. The characters are so real and deep. The relationships are so well developed.
This is the 4th book in the Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost, Montana chapter. This is such a great series. Vixen thought that she had left her past behind her, until she got a phone call that pulled her back in. It also brings Lucas back into her life. She learns even more about what happened in the past and now she doesn’t know who to trust. This story is dark and twisty but full of emotions.

Heart’s Rescue by Meredith Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first book in the Fallen Hearts series. This story started off just a little slow but man once you get going it was really good. The world that was built in this story was wonderful. The story of Rowan and Arryn was so captivating. Two people both trapped in their own ways in the world they live. Two people who don’t understand how much they need each other. I can’t wait to continue with this series.
Russian and Royally Complicated by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the second book in The Crowned Hearts Series. Ok so the first book was great but this one was even better in my opinion.

There are twists and turns throughout the story that always kept me turning the pages.

This is the seventh book in the Masters of the Consulate Series. They are all just so good. The world that has been built in these books is so deep. I love that these characters are so complex and different. Campania does not like witches so of course his mission he is on involves dealing with one. I love the story between Campania and Willow. Their attraction is off the charts. As with the rest of the series it is hard to put this book down.

This is the third book in the Off the Record series, although this is the first of the series I have read. I feel like I need to go back and read the first two books to understand everything better.

The characters were well written so that you can feel the love and loss they experience.
Reticent Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the second book in The Hawke Family Second Generation. I loved the first book in this series. I was so excited for this book though because we get to learn more about the elusive Jude. This story had me hooked from the start. This is not just a romance, it is the story of family, friendship, and love. It is overcoming your past and the obstacles thrown in your way. The characters in this story seem to take on a life of their own.
Sleeping with the Enemy by Deborah Garland

This is the third book in the Astoria Royals Series. I have not read the first 2 books so this book can totally be read as a stand alone. The emotion and the storytelling in this book were outstanding. I was drawn into this book and the characters’ stories. The way the past and the present collide for Priscilla and Riordan is perfect and heart wrenching. I believe I will need to go back and read the first 2 books just to stay in this world a little longer.

Brutal Days: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the 3rd book in the Hidden Valley Elite series. I loved it!! I have read all the previous books in this series and i might have squealed a little when i got this book. Damon Savage is a football star destined for greatness. Skylar hates sport and athletes, that includes Damon. He has other ideas when it comes to Skylar. He can’t seem to stay away from her and he will do anything to get her, while she will do anything to help her friend. This book does end on a cliffhanger but seriously it is so good I can wait a month for the conclusion of Damon and Skylar’s story.
