This is a prequel to Aspen and Phoenix’s story. This is a super quick read and just like the rest of the Hidden Valley Elite series it is fantastic. I really just can’t get enough of this series.

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.

Mike and Dane have been together for awhile but there is more that they want in their relationship. They want a woman, but not just any woman.

I love retellings of fairy tales, especially when it is a take I have yet to see. This is a wonderful Cinderella story set in the 1800’s. You get all those normal things like the slipper and wicked stepmother, but there is just so much more to this story. Ellie is under a curse that hides her true identity from the world. Can she figure out how to break it? Who holds the key to her heart?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Gemstone Massacre Series. This series is definitely off to a great start. Amy is on the run, always looking over her shoulder, always afraid of what she did and what she caused. Once she knows that she will have to run again she decides now is the time to stop and fight. I enjoyed the characters so much. The way they interact felt so natural. This is a slow burn enemies to lovers romance. I found the incorporation of the LGBTQ+ representation was well done. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
