Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups #3)Night Sweats and Hockey Nets by Marika Ray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets is book 3 in the series. Each book can be read as a standalone however, it’s best to read in order so you don’t have any spoilers from previous books.

This books is about Coach Bowman’s adult daughter Chloe Cooper who recently became a widow and the best goalie ever who is currently with the Storm Chasers Nikolai ( Niko ) Drugov. Nikolai is going thru a rough custody battle with his ex wife over their daughter Ayana. He currently needs to find a nanny to show he has proper childcare for her. Chloe and Niko shared one kiss on Toronto which could’ve led to more if he didn’t get a call from his lawyer.

Niko didn’t know she was coaches daughter until they get back home but they seem friendly enough and she offers to help him out as his nanny until he finds someone he trusts to care for Ayana. She ends up being a live-in nanny when there is a flood at her place.
Of course she keeps flirting with him but he does well keeping his distance until he can’t take it anymore. They both agree it will be casual and nothing serious.

Both are on board with that until one of them isn’t. Will they be able to remain friends when Chloe moves back into her place or will they grow apart and regret their time together. Another great read in this series. Cannot wait for more!

Definitely a 5 star read for the kiddos. They loved it. Funny, sticky things can happen by eating the glue and Luca thinks about all the things that will happen if he does. Cute rhymes that the kiddos giggled about while I read it.

She’s My Rhinestone Cowgirl (My Cowboy Series) by Brooke May – Review by Michelle Mulvey

She's My Rhinestone Cowgirl (My Cowboy #7)She’s My Rhinestone Cowgirl by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is part of a series. There’s alot of characters and I found it hard to know who was who. Shooter has a big family with siblings and cousins. Even with that, i thought the book was good. It was a sweet second chance romance.

When Trinity was 15 or 16 years old she spent alot of time with Shooter. He was her boyfriend. Even though they were teenagers and only gave each other little pecks here and there but they definitely had strong feelings for eachother. Trinity’s mom told her she needed to cut Shooter loose because he was a distraction. She thought he would understand since they are both focused on their goals. However when she broke up with he, he was heartbroken.

10 years later and he’s back in his hometown just in time for Elk Field’s week long festivities.
In the last 10 years Trinity accomplished what she set out to do by becoming Rodeo Royalty but, now she cannot wait to be done with it and start really living and having a boyfriend. Her mom and Kaley keep trying to push her into modeling but she just wants to be able to live a normal life.

When Trinity and Shooter see eachother and have a dance together, it’s clear both of them still care so much for eachother. Will Shooter be able to give her a week longer to be done with all this rodeo stuff and crown a new queen?

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago, #2)Forbiddenly Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forbiddenly Yours is the 2nd book in the serious and was a such a great, hot read.
Nicole is on vacation and decides to act alittle out of character for her. Callum is also on vacation. And they end up meeting and having a deliciously hot night together expecting to never see eachother again especially since they live nowhere near eachother. When Nicole moves to Chicago to attend school, everyone is surprised to see her new English professor is the hot guy she spent the night with in Costa Rica. Neither can forget the night they shared. Callum is a Titan and he always gets what he wants. He wants Nicole!! He doesn’t realize Nicole’s father and Uncle are also Titans and will never allow him near her.
Callum and Nicole start to see eachother in private but, it’s not so private when her stalker finds out and uses the information to his advantage. Callum is set up and made out to be her stalker. Will Nicole finally realize that Callum is the good guy in her life and he would never willingly hurt her? This was a steamy book with the student / teacher storyline. All books by this author have been amazing and this is no different.

Back in the ring is part 4 of the series and it’s definitely a 5 star read. In this book, there will be parts of characters from previous books in the series and I recommend reading them In order to prevent spoilers.

The center needs a lot of work and donations haven’t been coming in as they have in previous years.

Will these two be able to have a relationship after the heartbreak they both endured ? Will the center be able to remain open or will Bijou have to close the doors on her late husbands dream?

Malice (Demented Souls Series) by Melissa Stevens – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Malice (Demented Souls #10)Malice by Melissa Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Malice was a very good read. Bonnie had recently ended a relationship with a guy named Phillip but, he kept showing up and one night at a diner, he tried to force her to come with him. Luckily for Bonnie, Malice ( Corey ) was at the right place at the right time. He helped her when she needed a stranger to step in and help her. They ended up exchanging numbers and he told Bonnie to let him know if she ever needed his help again considering he didn’t think Phillip was going to give up that easy.
Of course one morning when Bonnie was leaving for work, she walked out of her apartment to find her car was vandalized. She called the cops and then called Corey and told him what happened. He showed up and took her back to the ranch with him for her protection. Corey and Bonnie continued to get close living together and of course Phillip still hadn’t given up. He turns to illegal actions when he kidnaps her in the middle of the day. Will Corey be able to find her before he hurts her to badly?
This was a really good book and I enjoyed it from the very beginning. It was sort of a forced proximity romance due to some domestic violence. Definitely something you don’t want to miss out on.

Falling Down (ROCKSTAR)Falling Down by Anne Mercier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not sure what I was thinking when I started to read the book but I’m generally not a fan of rockstar books. This book just flowed and was definitely very believable. I loved the characters….all
Of them!!! Lucy is an actress who isn’t following her passion but is following her mom’s passion. Sera is her cousin / sister who is a model. Both have always wanted to join a band but, that just wasn’t in their cards. Lucy has had a full blown crush on the lead singer of Falling Down…Jesse Kingston since forever. She runs into him at an airport when she’s 17 and not only meets him but they walk together to their flight that is boarding. 6 years later they see eachother again when Sera and Lucy and dancers for their video. Jesse and of course Lucy remember eachother and get to talking. The video takes a few days to film and when it’s over, Jesse promises he’s going to get Lucy in his bed. Lucy is a good girl, he’s used to groupies and one night stands. What good can come from these two hooking up aside
From Lucy’s dream coming true?

Jesse is far from the womanizing, groupie loving rockstar. He’s definitely been having a soft spot for Lucy.

So much happens in this book and it’s seriously hot and sooo soo good!!!

Wildfire Knockout (The Predator #3)Wildfire Knockout by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The only bad thing about Wildfire Knockout wa that it was a novella and it ended way too soon. I’m so glad to finally read about Beth and everything she had been through in her life. She will never be alone again because now she has KC, Chamberlain and Scott in her corner supporting her every step of the way.

Beth and Scott grow close as they are on the road together a lot and spend alot of time together but, Beth is a tough nut to crack. Aside from one crazy night together, she keeps her distance or at least tries to. Scott, makes it very hard for her. There is a lot happening in this short novella. When Beth finally seems to
Be giving in a little, something traumatic happens which has everyone on edge. Will she be able to move forward now that everything has been laid to rest?

This author is an amazing writer and I can pretty much read any book she writes without even knowing what it’s about.

Wild King (King Brothers Book 2)Wild King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wild King is book 2 in the series. I suggest reading book 1 first since alot of this book, has stuff from the first book.
Wild King is about Kellen. He is a free spirit who loves to unwind with the ladies. He doesn’t want to settle Down and everyone is made aware of that before he spends the night with them. Kellen hooks up with a woman named Gina who actually works for King Industries. When she realizes she can’t get Kellen to accept her as more then a hook up, she is hurt but she knew the score getting into bed with him.
Kellen decides to go away for a 3 day weekend and meets a girl who he has an awesome time with. She’s feisty and doesn’t fall for his charms which makes him want her more. They spend the weekend together and when she is scheduled to fly back home but, he asks her to stay. Now she’s staying in his villa with him. They don’t know eachothers names or really anything about eachother aside from they are great together in bed. Kellen gets an urgent call from his older brother demanding to fly home
Immediately as Gina is starting trouble and has gone public about their affair. King Industries is in hot water and Kellen’s being portrayed as a boss who sexually harassed an employee. He ends up leaving the woman in the villa without a word.

The woman Kellen spent the weekend with is the best fixer in the industry Salem Roberts. She also happens to be the one Matthias hires to fix this problem with Kellen and fix his image.

Kellen holds a lot of
Resentment towards his brother Matthias and Ava and it’s hard for him to
Listen to anything either of them say to him.

Will Kellen and Salem have a second chance after spending weeks together secluded away from prying eyes while
She tries to fix this problem or is it just a job that Salem accepts because she can and she is the best.

I feel like I waited forever for book 2 and it was well worth the wait. This was a great read. Definitely cannot wait for the next in the series. The King brother’s make for some gooooood reading!!!

The Predator Part TwoThe Predator Part Two by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved reading part two! Katie ( K.C. And Chamberlain saw eachother at his fight at the end of part 1. Now they are in the same state and Chnerlain will stop at nothing to get his girl back. He has never stopped
Loving her or looking for her. Will they get a second chance after all this time with all the secrets ? Will Katie be able to tell him why she left and what she found out right before she left? I. The last 4 years so much has changed for both of them. He is a well known, well respected fighter and she is….well a mom to a little girl!
Katie may have run out and not
Looked back but As fate would have it, They are both at the same water park, at the same time. That is when Chamberlain sees Marissa.

So much happens in this book, I was sucked in from the cliffhanger in part one and couldn’t wait to see how their story went.

When Katie’s dad comes out of the wood work claiming that he has Katie and Chamberlain’s support, when neither of them want anything to do with her family after what pain they caused them, chamberlain vows to make everything right and see the record straight.
This series is quite addicting and cannot wait to see what happens in future books and how Scott and Beth get along. Another great 5* read. Looking forward to more!

Taste of Honey (Taste of Honey Series) by Julie Castle – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Taste of HoneyTaste of Honey by Julie Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is made up of 3 short stories. The Gift, The Commander’s Club and Once in Love. All 3 are super fast paced Dom / sub or ( new to sub ) stories. Of course people have their favorites.
The gift is about a sweet librarian who starts receiving gifts from a secret admirer. There is a note in one of the gifts, to meet him at a hotel room and she actually goes. She has no idea who she is going to meet but Penelope goes anyway and when she finds out it’s none other then Vlad from the library she doesn’t know what think. She takes to her new sub role quickly and this one is very steamy.
My other favorite which I think was the best is The Commander’s Club. Courtney decides to go in undercover trying to find out what happened to her friend. Luckily she is assigned to Ty as her trainer. Ty is actually
Undercover as well but he’s a Dom in real life so he has no problems taking on a sub / slave to train. Ty and Courtney have off the charts chemistry but Courtney is so far from obedient that she can blow her cover and Ty’s very easily. Ty doesn’t go easy on her in training and gives her everything he would
Give any one he is training. After her training she is to be sold to the highest buyer but, Ty plans to get her out before that time comes. Ty and Courtney develop feelings for eachother im the short time they are together and don’t get to say goodbye before Courtney is rescued. Will Ty and Courtney see eachother again? This was definitely my favorite out of the trio.

Jack was taking his dog Shank for a walk to a friends house when Shank sat down to scratch his ear. Right away Jack thought he might have a flea. He tried everything from flea powder, vinegar, a bath, smelly perfume among other things. Still no one saw a flea so together with his friends, Jack took shank to the vet when they figured, maybe shank just had an itch.

Love Rinkside (Playmakers)Love Rinkside by G.K. Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Rinkside was a cute, quick read. Drew and Katie met at a Halloween mascot party. No names and no faces. Neither were in the mood for a party and agreed to leave together. They still had no idea who the other was or what the looked like until they got to the car and changed out of the costumes. They are kind of from the same circle of friends. Katie works with Drew’s sister.
Drew and Katie were immediately attracted to eachother but, that was it. He drove her home. They were both committed to singlehood.
Drew couldn’t get Katie out of his thoughts and 2 days later he decided to take his dogs to the park where he runs into Katie and her dog who was trying to escape but luckily Drew was able to catch him. They agreed to go to dinner that night and then the sparks flew! Even though both weren’t looking for a relationship, it seemed like they quickly found themselves in some sort of situationship!
Drew isn’t used to spending time with a woman since his work is always #1 and his hockey league is #2 in his life. Does he have time to have a woman in his life?
Katie and Drew seemed happy with what they had but Drew was falling behind in his work they were keeping their relationship a secret from everyone. No one knew what was going on and when Drew’s sister Natalie was talking about him to Katie she said how she thought he was seeing someone but wasn’t sure and called him MR. Casual.
Between Katie’s insecurities, and the way her dog Hugo hates and literally attacked Drew, their relationship was cut short before it really had a chance to begin. Will these two be able to work out the issues they have with eachother or are they both destined to be single forever?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such a great book. Not sure why but, I was not expecting to like the book as much as I did. I think I’m obsessed with Katie and Chamberlain. I was absolutely hooked from the very beginning. After the prologue I kept waiting for the big fight or whatever the reason was why they see eachother at a fight and aren’t expecting to see eachother. This book was totally captivating from the prologue and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Katie and Chamberlain. Meet at the rec center and immediately there is chemistry and attraction. They end up dating for a while but there is always something in the way causing problems. Katie’s family, Amber and even Gwen caused problems between them two. I wasn’t expecting that ending but cannot wait to dive into book 2. Great book by a great author.

Irresistible Bond: Central Florida StoriesIrresistible Bond: Central Florida Stories by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Irresistible Bond is book 5 in the series and was a very good read. The characters in this book definitely have an irresistible bond that’s for sure. Marcus, Storm and Barrington have grown up together and have always been so close. Barrington and Marcus are cousins who are very close and more like brothers. She has her orders to leave for the DEA training which is something she has always wanted to do. The cousins would love to give her another set of orders she would definitely enjoy. They are interrupted by Barrington’s mother and her nephew Roddy. Then Storm left the party knowing the fantasy all 3 were hoping to take place will never happen, Storm left and that’s the last time they see her for years. Storm went and changed her flight info and was gone. While she away on assignment she was captured and tortured by El Puma. She endured alot of torture but when she is rescued the cousins give her time to heal and once she’s back home they make their move and offer her a life she will never regret. She doesn’t know what to do until she realizes her life may be in danger. There is a lot of suspense In This book along with a whole lot of steamy MFM scenes. Will Storm be able to serve these two dominant men or is this just something to pass the time for now. I enjoyed reading this book and was glad there was no M on M scenes. These 3 were bonded together and best friends growing up but will they be bonded together forever now that Storm is back home or will Gato and his men finally put an end to everything ?

Thought the book was well written and loved by a 5 year old. The book is about 3 friends….. Soara, Lulu and Zanie. Soara can only fly during recess but her friends miss playing with her at recess.

I thought this was a great tool for many. it is a children’s book however, adults should also know the important details that are mentioned. I for one, go down in my basement annually and change out the cat / dog food we have set aside. We also have kits for the humans and for the pets. Keeping our pets safe and calm is very important in any emergency. I loved how the twins understand how important it is.

Stout of My League (Love on Tap #4)Stout of My League by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 4 in an amazing series. The series is about the Brooks Family. Cash, Carter, Denny, Miller and the baby sister of the bunch Lynn. Lynn is treated like a precious jewel by all
Of her brothers and she hates it. They see her as their kid sister not an almost 20 year old woman going to college to be a sports therapist. She’s currently working at a concession stand at Ardent Park. When she hears so
Done yelling help as she’s crouching over a man on the floor. Lynn stays very calm, calling 9-1-1 and keeping the man alive until help arrives. A dark haired hottie who also works at the stadium was there trying to assist her but wasn’t much help. They run into eachother again and make plans to meet up another time. Dark haired hottie is the shortstop for the Arrows who play at Ardent Park.
They end up getting together but not before Lynn decides she can’t be with him. They see eachother a year later and have a 2nd chance romance thing going. Lynn is very stubborn and she annoyed me at times but Joey kinda knew how to handle her….kinda. The. Throw in all the drama that’s been happening with Larry being stolen in previous books, Miller’s accident, the fire, the people trying to buy the three properties where the owners do not want to sell. This book had some steam, some sweet moments, lots of suspense and an ending you aren’t expecting. At least I wasn’t. Another great addition to the series. Loved it!!!

Finding Love (The Oath Series)Finding Love by Lacey Furr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finding love was a good book. Both main characters know what it feels like to lose someone close to them. Loch is in a band and has been having problems writing any new music since the devastating loss of his sister. His manager decides to rent out an entire B&B to give Loch privacy and time to grieve which will hopefully get him back where he was before tragically losing his sister.
Hailey has one guest at her B&B and devotes all her time to him. They become friendly and spend some afternoons together. She knows how it feels to lose someone close to her and she tries to help him with his grief. The two of them start to have a mutual attraction to eachother which cannot be avoided. Right away I thought they acted much closer then two complete strangers but, this is a book so anything is possible. Will Loch and Hailey be able to be together or is this just a stepping stone in Loch’s healing? Hailey knows she will end up broken hearted when Loch leaves but she decides to take a chance anyway and enjoy the time they have.
I thought this was a very emotional read with some heat and healing. After everything that happens will Loch and Hailey remain friends, lovers or just people who once knew eachother. I loved how the book ended. Just perfect! I love the friendships between the characters. Nola is a perfect best friend for Hailey. Besties always do things together and this was no different.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Toasted was a very good read. I like my books with more steam in them but this was a good book. I loved the characters.
Libby had just moved into a new place she isn’t familiar with. It’s a small town where everyone knows eachother and gossip is at an all time high. Libby’s toaster decided it was going to malfunction while she’s in her tiny Disney pjs. The fire department came and right away Zach checked Libby out to
Make sure she wasn’t injured. They were talking and the chemistry was immediate. Libby wasn’t looking for a relationship but Zach wasn’t looking for a one night stand. Zach kept fighting for Libby but she kept pushing him away. This was a sweet wholesome read with lots of banter and cute moments. Will Libby ever give in to her feelings and give a relationship a shot with Zach or will she lose him for good. She wants friends with benefits but he wants a full blown relationship. Good read. Looking forward to more in this series but hope there’s a bit more heat in the other books.

The Strategist (WaterFyre Rising, #5)The Strategist by Nadia Han
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved The Strategist which is book 5. Every book in this series has been so good. I guess they don’t really need to be read in order but, there are spoilers so, I’d recommend reading them in order to see how they all ended up where they are now. There’s so much action and suspense that it will have you reading more and more chapters in one sitting just to see what happens or how it happens.
Vivian is trying to locate a missing girl named Aimee. She refuses to believe anything other than the fact that she is alive and well.

When Arrow and Vivian run into eachother unexpectedly, they agree to a duel.
Arrow took a liking to Vivian and asked her out on a date. She turned him down but, that didn’t stop him. His actions could be confused with a stalker but he definitely is not a stalker. He always was close by and always kept an eye on her. He gave her, her space but knew, she was going to be his some day.

Arrow has a lot of connections and knows he can help her. The entire group of friends are there to try to find Aimee.

Vivian and Arrow made the best couple. They are both incredibly smart and care about others. They have something in common that neither of them would’ve ever guessed. I’m very surprised about when Arrow found Kaylee in chapter 68 and they came to realize something, it didn’t get more attention or come as more of a shock.
Looking forward to book 6 so we can learn more about Orion.

We definitely chuckled reading this book. If you want to know how many animals eat their PB&J, this book is for you. Khloe is 4 and she loved the colorful pictures. As the adult, I loved the rhyming and showing her all the different animals. She giggled at a few and I think the lizard was her favorite. I think this one will be in our weekly rotation that she asked me to read. I’ve read it 3 times already for her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mood Swings and Hockey Flings was a great read. I loved reading about Ben / Banks and Kaitlyn.
Those two met at an airport
about 10 years ago and had no idea who the other person was. They were both attracted to eachother but Kaitlyn has a one track mind and her job is the most important thing on her life. Meeting a hot guy and learning he’s a hockey player, makes her angry. They did alot of flirting at the airport and on the plane but, Kaitlyn is a different person in
Work mode. Banks and Kaitlyn grow to dislike eachother more then you would think even though they secretly have some hidden feelings.
Now 10 years later, Kaitlyn is asked by Roman to
Be Ben’s agent. Both Ben and Kaitlyn are against it

4 R's: Roped, Rescued, Risked, Romanced4 R’s: Roped, Rescued, Risked, Romanced by Julie Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The 4 R’s Collection was a good read with 4 stories.
They were all good but, of course everyone has their favorites.

Fool’s Gold was about a a newlywed couple who never quite made it to their wedding night. Sarah ran out on Rafe when she found something and thought Rafe was only with her for her money. Now she has come home to help out with housekeeping while Rose is away while saving Rafe’s reputation and she can finish what she started before she left.
Someone is out to hurt Rafe and his livelihood but, no one knows who the real culprit is. Sarah will help Rafe figure it out.
Will Rafe and Sarah be able to be a real couple after everything is over ?

Her hearts desire was a good read.
Jake and Samantha know eachother but haven’t seen eachother in a bit. Now She’s a runaway bride with she finds out Grayson was cheating on her.
She wasn’t expecting Jake to be at the old cabin but, she ran right into him when she got there. Can two people extremely attracted to eachother stay in a 1 bedroom cabin and keep their distance?
There was a bit of suspense In this one with a few other characters. Samantha’s brother might be a suspect but he’s just trying to find out who is blackmailing Jennifer.
When Samantha is kidnapped, will they figure out who the culprit is In time to save her?

Serena’s Web was a great read. I loved this one from the very beginning. She was a strong character who didn’t take crap from anyone. Her dad is missing and she will not rest until she finds him and hopes she can find him alive. Some cops are dirty and aren’t there to help her case but, might be there to help the people responsible. When the FBI steps In, they vow to keep her safe. Agent Riley wants more then to keep her safe. She pretty much wants the same thing but can they act on it? They make a pretty good team working together but there are alot of others helping along the way too.

It had to be you was another great read.
This is a second chance romance if I’ve ever seen one before. Candy and Greg knew eachother in high school but were in total different social classes. Here they are at a reunion and she has no idea who he is when he approaches her.
They end up almost hooking up when she realizes who he is. He’s always had feelings for her and now that she is back in town, he’s not letting her go without a fight. These two can be beneficial to eachother if they can make it thru the summer. Will they be able to walk away when they both get what they want or will this end up really falling for eachother. Another book with suspense leaving the reader wondering who is behind everything going wrong. Great collection of books!

Unicorn, Don’t Do That! by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Unicorn, Don't Do That!Unicorn, Don’t Do That! by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Who doesn’t love a book about unicorns? I know the girls are obsessed and loved this adorable book about Stega the unicorn. She was invited to a party. She picked some blueberries to bring as a gift for Benny but ate the whole bowl. She then picked a bowl of walnuts and ate them too. Finally she spotted a beehive and got a bowl of honey but that didn’t make it to Benny’s either. By the time she arrived at Benny’s cave, her belly was rumbling and so she pooped right outside his door. It wasn’t an ordinary poop though….it was Unicorn poop. Loved the colorful pictures and the girls ( ages 2 & 4 ) loved the book

Queen of the FairiesQueen of the Fairies by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a cute book for little kids. The colorful pictures which are beautifully detailed helps keep little ones engaged. This author is our “go-to” author on all kids books. We have some we bought hard copies of too. We definitely loved this one about good fairies, bad fairies and the queen of the fairies.

Touched (Elemental Passions #1)Touched by Skye Turner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The book is book one of a new series. A few authors are writing together. I honestly saw the author and had to read it not realizing what it was about. I’m not a fan of paranormal books so it took me quite a while to finish. That being said, I thought the book was well written. Callum is a detective on his way to make a huge bust. When someone walks into him. That someone is Aeris. She’s a fairy or a fae which visits earth. Up until now, no one has been able to see her but, Callum can. However, they zinged…He is her Kindred…her mate. Together they encounter all different things. This book has sylph, fae, trolls, rougarou…you name it. Anything magical or mythical with spells.
I thought the book was pretty good.
