NonVerbalNonVerbal by Molly Zenk
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As the mother of several teenagers, I know the struggles they have everyday. In this book you see those teen struggles from the point of view of Emerson, who has autism and is non-verbal. I have seen non-verbal individuals and had no understanding of what they were going through. This book I feel gave me a glimpse of the complexities that are going on in a person’s mind even if they can not express it to the world.

The Sweet Temptations Trilogy (Sinful Delights)The Sweet Temptations Trilogy by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Warning – might cause spontaneous combustion. This trilogy is well named with sinful delights. No one is innocent. It is a super quick read but very descriptive. When all the little temptations build up it seems that Richard and Alice can’t help indulge in them.

Under My Care (Chase Care Book 3)Under My Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was not prepared for this book. It took me through a whole gamut of emotions. Peter and Rowena have history, but no one could have anticipated what happens when they meet again at a rural Montana hospital after his mission goes off the rails. I was completely taken with this book. It has everything you need, laughter, tears, intrigue and even some of the unknown.

Rogue (The Talisman Series)Rogue by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love the Celtic mythology in this series. Delaney and Baz’s story is so intriguing. She is a Talisman but she is also a warrior. Baz was 3 years past his 28th birthday so he became a rogue. When these 2 find each other and realize that she is his talisman, things get really interesting. Will he choose to stay a rogue or will he choose to become a warrior again? His choice will affect not only himself and Delaney but all rogues.

The Romanov HeiressThe Romanov Heiress by Jennifer Laam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful reimagining of the Romanov family. Instead of just one daughter that escapes death, there are 4 daughters. They are all so very different from each other and out in the world alone. Olga, oldest sister, sets out to stop a book from being published that would destroy her mother’s name as well as any prospect the 4 girls have of ever being able to live a life out of hiding. She is not prepared for where this journey will lead her. This story has wonderful characters that you just can’t help but want to get to know. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

This is such a great book! Lily is a pop star that just wants to find someone to love and support her, and not just because she was Lily Tyler.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is totally keeping me on the edge of my seat. You know when you are getting close to the end of the book and you realize there is no way everything can be wrapped up in the amount of book left, yep that happened. The tension between Riley and Cole is so thick. They hate each other, but they can’t seem to get past the attraction. Who will be able to discover the truth first about what is really going on?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the prequel to the Hidden Valley Elite Series. This was a super quick read that was full of so very much. Riley was used to change, so moving to a new town right before her junior year was just what she had come to expect from her life. Things didn’t seem normal though in this new place. Then she met Cole. She knew that she would not be here long enough to get to know him but a girl could dream. Would this time be different and she would actually be able to stay? Would her or Cole’s life ever be the same after this summer?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok so I thought that the first book in this series was great, but the 2nd book is amazing. Brandon and Callie’s story was so wonderful. This is the best kind of friends to lovers/2nd chance type romance. The twists and turns of the story kept the pages turning and the characters kept me completely engrossed in this story. I am definitely a fan at this point. I cannot wait for the next installment of this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in The Club Kings Series and wow it is hot! Brooklyn has a lot in her past that makes her not trust easily. She is just lucky to be alive after all that she has been through. When she meets The 4 Knights they are very much her knights in, well not shining armor but in well made suits. This is a why choose romance and I can see where it would be hard to choose between these 4 men. I can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens next.

This is the 2nd book in the Buckeye Falls series. This author never disappoints. CeCe and Evan’s story is wonderful. She has to come to terms with her past and the fact that Evan is younger than her.

Shameless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #2)Shameless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not my first book by this author but this is my first book in this series. The Bennett of Langston Falls looks to be a great series. Lots of family love and great characters. Walter has moved into his own home and the sweetest part is the revenge he got by acquiring the house and property. Elyse is from Atlanta and works in the movie industry. These two are very opposite but may be just what the other needs. I definitely enjoyed getting to know the Bennett’s and can’t wait to read more about the whole family.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So this is the first book I have read by this author and this is the type of book I dream about. Great characters, a story that keeps me turning the pages, and a world that I just can’t get enough of. Lucky for me I can go back and read about the first generation of the Hawke family. But back to this amazing book. When Issac and Jack met five years earlier, they never knew what would come that weekend. Now here they are trying to keep Jack and her daughter safe from threats made to her parents. Can Issac keep them safe? Can he get her to stay if he can?

Wow wow wow! The twists and the turns kept me on the edge of my seat. Sam wants nothing more than to follow her dreams (and run from her past). Nothing turns out how she thought it would be. She finds herself in a desperate situation where she must rely only on herself to get free. The tears and heartbreak are real, but who doesn’t love a book that breaks you a little.

This is the first book in the Made in Heaven series. What a way to start. The characters were very relatable and real. I loved the way the paranormal was brought into this story. The way the characters meet is so unique. Maddie, Cole and Charlie compliment each other so well. The suspense in the book also kept those pages moving. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Intense! I mean really intense. Shadow/Zoey is dark and troubled on a good day and let’s just say there aren’t many good days in her life. Panther knew the moment he met her that he would make Zoey his someday. Not an easy task after all she has been through. Can she let him in? It is amazing, but make sure you read warnings for this series.

Spicy, dark, and twisted is what is in store with this book. Dominic was arrested for a crime he didn’t commit but after almost 18 months waiting in jail, he was finally found innocent. He makes a good life for himself in LA with his motivation of getting revenge. Whitney has a gift that she doesn’t really want. When she seeks out Dominic to give him a message from the great beyond, she is the one in for a surprise. She is a dead ringer for the woman he was accused of killing, he wants answers.

This is the first book in the Dirty Rockhard Billionaire series. Definitely not for everyone. If you like a really spicy best friend’s brother trope then you may proceed. Vaughn and Xena are obsessed with each other, yet neither knows the other has those same feelings. Will they given in to the forbidden?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Swoon! I am not sure that I have fully recovered from this book. I am on that amazing high from reading a book that puts you through all the emotions with twists and turns throughout. This book totally works as a stand alone, but if you are like me you will run out and get the first one as well! Seriously, this book is fake dating at its best. Ryan is a super hot major league pitcher with no use for the baseball groupies that hang around. Peyton finds herself in a situation she never thought she would be. Ryan and Peyton start “dating” to save face and keep the peace for a few weeks. The chemistry pouring off these two is palpable.

This is the 2nd book in the Billionaire Blind Dates series, and it was just as good as the first. I love the connection of this group of friends. They are always there for each other no matter what. Evan has been a silent partner in Kayla’s brain child Blind Dates and now he was on blind dates of his own there. Would he find love? Would Kayla ever tell him how she really feels about him? If all the crazy things that were happening with the restaurant would stop, maybe they could figure it all out. I can’t wait to read the next book!!!!

Alyssa is studying the ancient Celtic stories for school when she meets Rowan. Can he reach her heart before they are tested by the ancients? The emotion and strength that these characters have fills the pages of this book. I can’t wait to read the next installment of this!

This is the 2nd book in the Forever Our Girl series but this is the first one for me. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything but I do feel the need to go read more from this series. Stella is a plus size woman wanting to design clothes for people like her so they can feel empowered and beautiful. She runs into a giant snag with her funding for her line and would be homeless if her older step brother didn’t take her in to help with the baby he just found out he had. Charles, along with Alex and Jordan are staying in the house for a month. Stella is someone none of them can resist. And let the spice ensue. I loved this body positive story.

This is the 3rd book in the Green Brotherhood: SEAL Team XII, but I didn’t even notice so could be a stand alone. A Navy Seal and a belly dancer, how could you go wrong. Cutter and Zarifah are so sweet together. She is trying to get past her abusive fiancé and he is trying to find a nice girl (not a stripper). Can he keep her safe?
