Turning the Tide (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 5)Turning the Tide by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Turning The Tide is Book 5 in the Eastern Shore Swingers Series by Phoebe Alexander and this author has hit the jackpot with this series. Each book gets better and better. Once I saw this book, I knew I needed to read it ASAP!
Turning the Tide was a little different from the others in the series. Some of it reminded me of Paisley and Calvin’s book with all the crazy action. This book has so much going on and I just kept reading and reading. There was never a dull page.
Luke Cannon is a ENT doctor who happens to be married and pretty good friends with Cap. Luke’s marriage isn’t anything to write home about. His wife is verbally and emotionally abusive. I’m not sure why Luke had stayed with his wife after the last 10 years of torture she has put him through. He manages to stay faithful even though he was
miserable. He finally gives in the Cap’s invitation to go to The Factory. He meets Connie the first night and cannot seem to get her out of his mind. There’s a lot of back and forth between Connie and Luke once she finds out he is married but he tries to let her understand his situation. This book has so much going on, it’s impossible to not LOVE IT!!! Your going to have to read the book to find out just how much action there is. Another amazing read! Well done Phoebe!! Cannot wait for more.

Hazed ( The Hazed Series Book 1 ) by Brittany Butler – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Hazed (The Hazed Series Book 1)Hazed by Brittany Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hazed by Brittany Butler is the first book, I’ve read by this author. I wasnt really a fan of the book however the writing was good. Hayze is the sexy bartender where Taylor starts to work. There is an instant attraction between the two. Only problem is Hayze has the bad boy vibe going. Hayze is with a different girl every night and girls throw themselves at him on the regular.
Taylor doesn’t have much experience in anything. She grew up the daughter of a pastor and never had the chance to do anything the other kids in town did. She left home for some freedom. She is starting college and doesn’t really know anyone aside from her roommate Lea. Lea and Hayze happen to be pretty close but, Taylor doesn’t realize just how close they really are.
Of course Taylor and Hayze end up seeing each other. I understand she is a sheltered girl but come on, how does she not see things right in front of her. I liked most of the characters and think the author did a good job but, I just didn’t like how blind Taylor was made out to be.

The Billionaire and the Therapist (Clean Billionaire Romance Reads Book 1) by Kim Koby – Review by Michelle Mulvey

The Billionaire and the Therapist (Clean Billionaire Romance Reads, #1)The Billionaire and the Therapist by Kim Koby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Billionaire and the Therapist by Kim Koby is Book 1 of the Clean Billionaire Romance Reads. I thought this book was great from the beginning. Natalie is a therapist who has a past. She is hiding out in Texas hoping her past won’t find her. She gets a call about a possible job working with the Callahan family. Catherine Callahan is a 7 year old girl who had witnessed the unthinkable. To lose a parent at that age is just heartbreaking but to witness it firsthand is even worse.

John convinces Natalie to sign a one year contract and he will pay any amount of money just to hear his daughter talk again. Obviously John and Natalie are attracted to each other but try to remain as professional as possible. When John starts seeing small positive changes in Catherine, he cannot hide his feelings much more.

When Natalie gets a letter from someone in her past she gets a little worried wondering how he has found her. John vows to protect her and his family.

The characters were good, the writing was good and the story itself was good. It was a little short but worth spending the night at home with a glass of wine.

Trouble's Wedding CaperTrouble’s Wedding Caper by Jen Talty
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trouble’s Wedding Caper by Jen Talty is the first book I’ve read by this author.

The book has some romance, friendships, suspense and breakups in it.
Annabelle and Ethan are old friends. She is best friends with his sister. Both are in relationships that quickly end in the beginning of the book. One drunken night at a wedding ends in someone doing a shot from someone’s belly button!

Here they are months later when Annabelle and Ethan run into each other again. Luckily for Annabelle, Ethan seems to stay semi close to her. She is a treasure hunter who just bought an abandoned storage unit. Someone is out to get Annabelle but with Trouble on the case, he doesn’t make it easy.

I thought this book was well written. I liked most of the characters but wasn’t into the whole cat saving the day storyline.

Rules of EngagementRules of Engagement by Mika Jolie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mika Jolie….nothing more is needed. I have NEVER read a book by her I haven’t loved. This is no different. The written was perfect, the characters were great and the story was 5+ stars!

I really couldn’t say anything bad about this book. Lucas has custody over his daughter Emma. She means the absolute world to him. He would do anything to keep things justbthe way they are. His ex wife is back and wants to take him to court for custody saying he’s an unfit parent and he has different women around him all the time.

His best friend’s sister who happens to be one of his best friends poses as his fake fiancé. The only problem is, Lucas is extremely attracted to Kate and she has started in some of his hottest fantasies over the last year. Since Kate and Lucas are so comfortable around each other, it’s easy to pretend. They even kiss in public to make it known. However, Kate’s brother isn’t to happy about this plan. Before long, Kate and Lucas are sending flirty texts and then Lucas sends Kate a picture he normally wouldn’t send someone. One thing leads to another and they end up making a deal of what they are willing to do during their fake engagement.

The only rule is, they cannot fall for each other. What are the chances of that happening between now and a week from now when Lucas has to go to court? I say very likely!!! Will this ruin their amazing friendship they have had for over two decades or will they both be able to get past it?
Such a great book!!!

Rainy Day Lovers (The Rocklyns Book 3)Rainy Day Lovers by Alicia Street
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rainy Day Lovers was a great book from start to finish. The characters were great and the plot was great.
It all started in 2001 when Raina was witness to a homeless guy around her age was getting attacked. He wasn’t only homeless but he was in some sort of horrific accident by the look of his face. Raina saved the young man and took him to get something to eat. Then gave him money and some good advise. She told Robbie to go speak with a friend of hers and she knew if given the chance she knew he would make the best of it. All because of Raina, Robbie stepped in to help a man being robbed in a park one night and his life changed.

Fifteen years later Raina and Robbie ( who now goes by Roman ) somehow meet again. Roman has a new face and is a plastic surgeon. All things happen for a reason. Fate stepped in and did the right thing in this book about second chance meetings / romances. Roman keeps his past hidden to Raina and doesn’t tell her that he was the homeless guy she helped all those years ago. What will happen when the truth comes out.
This book was such a sweet read. I love Roman. He’s just an all around great guy and I believe he was given that second chance at a happy life because of his run in with Raina.

A Tendency Dark and DangerousA Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A tendency dark and dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a novel written in verse. I have never read a novel written in verse before nor have a read a book by this author before. I thought the book was well written. It really wasn’t my cup of tea if you know what I’m saying but, the author did a good job describing the scenes and the feelings.

Addictions come in all shapes and forms. One could be addicted to gambling, drugs, alcohol or even a person. In this book, Evangeline finds an addiction in this book that is hard to break. She seemed to have it all. A great job, a sweet, caring boyfriend and awesome friends. Is she willing to lose it all for her addiction?

Landon Kelly is a dark and mysterious person she meets at an art gallery. Her life changes when she meets him. She is living a double life but soon that will change. Will it be a happy ending or will she lose everything?

Full Glasses and Burju ShoesFull Glasses and Burju Shoes by Blake Blessing
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Full Glasses and Burju Shoes by Blake Blessing was an overall great read for me. This book had a great addictive storyline that I felt like I was flipping through the pages to see what more the author had in store for the readers.

Emil has recently come home from war and still has a great relationship with all his buddies he served with. One close friend who was like a brother managed to stay alive through the extended tours they did only to come home and be in a fatal car accident. Emil has severe issues with PTSD and sometimes he cannot control his reactions to certain sounds.

Perrin is a woman who does different activities whenever she finds something that interests her. Her most recent interest is to learn to bachata. Her boss Danny knows just the man to teach her but he says no.

The first two times Perrin and Emil saw each other was nothing pleasant. As a matter of fact, Emil was a total jerk to her when she showed up at his place for another reason.

Will Emil finally give in and be able to teach Perrin to dance Bachata style?
They end up becoming very close friends and Feelings get involved. Will Perrin be able to deal with Emil’s PTSD or will that be a deal breaker. This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster. There is so much sadness and loss but there is also some happy times too.

TappedTapped by Tarrah Anders
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tapped by Tarrah Anders is definitely a 5 star read for me. I have read a few books by this author and have loved all of them.

Janae is about to get the shock of her life one night while she is working. Kai….her Kai from
10 years ago is standing in front of her. As soon as they see each other, the feelings are brought back.

Lao has never forgotten Janae. He has always measured people up to her and no one ever came
close. He was traveling on tour as a back up dancer but now he wants to find a place to stay in. He’s tired of different hotel rooms and sleeping on tour busses. He never thought when he applied for this job, he was going to find the one woman who owned his heart.

Kai and Janae start off as friends again but, Kai knew from the beginning, he wanted more. It took a lot of convincing but, Janae finally gave him a shot. Kai started as a rookie but quickly turned into one of the best erotic dancers at the club. Janae never watches the shows but now she finds herself watching him every time he comes out.

When one is Kai’s best friends come to visit, Janae finds herself in a crazy situation.

This was a great book and had lots of heat. I loved how Kai and Janae were able to have a second chance in life. I also loved the ending. AMAZING!!!

Written In The Stars by T. Birmingham – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Book 2)Written in the Stars by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Written in the Stars by T Birmingham was a great 5 star read for me. I was a bit skeptical after reading book 1 Terrible Beauty. This book totally changed it around for me.

Winter is one of the 4 Markham sisters all names after seasons. We were introduced to the characters briefly in a Terrible Beauty and they are back and brought their A game in Written in the Stars.

Winter is the quite loner of the group. She knows everyone, they all know her but she doesn’t really talk to them. She has had a secret crush on Eagle for 3 years since she first laid eyes on him. She’s the shy type who has never acted on it. When she finally gets the nerve to ask him to coffee, will he accept the offer or decline? Will their friendship turn into anything more?
There is a serial killer on the loose and Eagle and his team are helping try to find who it is and keep their city safe. When more murders are committed missing some important factors, they think they may have a copycat on the loose which is making it that much harder to find the person / people. Many people Winter and her friends know are brought in as suspects but it seems everyone has an Alibi or was out of town when the murders took place. This book kept me interested and on the edge of my seat. I never thought the person they caught would’ve been the one involved. The reasons behind the murders was a little disturbing to me as well.

A Terrible Beauty is a Novella starting the Fallen Eagles MC Series. I thought the book was well written. The author is a new author to me. I haven’t read many books in this genre but, I didn’t dislike the book. It kept me entertained for the most part.

There were quite a few characters in the Novella. There’s the Markham sisters who are Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Summer went to war and experienced something tragic. She came home and her new name is Kit. She doesn’t let anyone call her Summer anymore. She has been home 10 years and has kept secrets that whole time from the 30 hours of captivity. Now her past has come back to haunt her. How will her family and Lee handle the secrets when they are exposed? When Spring is threatened by Kit’s blackmailer, will they be able to come out on top or will Kit lose a family member on top of everything else?

Heart of a Hunk Anthology by Various Authors – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Heart of a Hunk: A Limited-Edition Collection of Bad Boy, Billionaire and Hunky Romance HeroesHeart of a Hunk: A Limited-Edition Collection of Bad Boy, Billionaire and Hunky Romance Heroes by Nicole Morgan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heart of a Hunk is a collection of books written by different authors. Two of the books I’m reviewing are Foxxy Christmas by Allyson R Abbott and A Kiss under a Blue Christmas Moon by Tamara Ferguson. I have read both authors before and have loved everything I have read by them.

Foxxy Christmas was great from the beginning. Foxxy was an escort / street walker or whatever her pimp decided to use her for. She made eye contact with a man one night while she was on a job and that was it. There was instant chemistry and he did what was needed to book her services for the following day. Foxxy is a very strong character. She didn’t give in easily but, she was finally convinced he was there to help her. Eddie is a very dangerous man who hands his hands into everything.
Will Foxxy be able to pull off what she has planned or will it be a waste of time. Richard and Jerry ended up saving Foxxy’s life.

A Kiss under a Blue Christmas Moon took a few chapters to get me hooked. Mia and Noah met at school and instantly fell for each other. They finally got up the courage to speak to each other right before the summer. Only problem was, at the end of the summer Noah was leaving for the Air Force. Everything was going well during the summer until it didn’t. Mia had no idea why Noah never spoke to her again. Blackmail is an ugly thing that can ruin something wonderful. About 6 years later, what happens when they see each other again? Will the truth finally come out? This story was very addicting and I found myself reading so fast to find out how it ended.

The Memory of UsThe Memory of Us by Lisa Sorbe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Memory of Us by Lisa Sorbe was a great read for me. The two main characters are Elena Everhart and Weston Brooks. They have literally been the best of friends since they were babies. They did everything fun together growing up and also got into trouble together.
Elena Was destined to move away. She had big plans for her future. Meanwhile Weston wanted her to stay forever. Elena had been through a lot of heartache and loss in her 17 years of life and just needed to get away. Leaving Weston and going to Phoenix for college and to start her life broke both Elena’s and Weston’s hearts.
She kept in contact with her only living relative, her mom and even had her come to Phoenix to visit every so often. When Elena gets word her mom has passed away, her past comes rushing back. She returns home to deal with cleaning out the house and putting it on the market and runs right into Weston on the first day.
Weston and Elena still have strong feelings for each other so many years later but Elena tries everything to keep her heart locked up. Luckily for her, Weston doesn’t give up easy and is there every step of the way to help her with everything and then there is the time capsule….I feel like that was the turning point in the book.
I thought the book was well written and kept the readers entertained.
When A couple is meant to be together there’s nothing such as distance, years or career choices that can keep them apart. Fate is fate!

A Pink Christmas KissA Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is my favorite in the series so far. This was a sweet book about a second chance romance. Billie and Leroy were the perfect couple. She decided to move to NY for better opportunities. She thought Leroy would follow her or at least fight for me but none of that happened. Here she is 5 years later and suffering from being homesick. She would love to go back to Nevada but, doesn’t want to seem like a failure. Luckily she gets a phone all from her dad telling her he needs to give up the auto repair shop due to his failing health. Billie spent a lot of time in the shop growing up. This was a perfect reason to go home.

She ends up working in the repair shop and the. Finds an old beat up deuce in a back corner buried under other stuff. The deuce is her dream car. The person dropped off the car and said money is no object, but they wanted it fixed up and there was no rush. Billie spent all her free time rebuilding it and making it beautiful. When she finds out the car is for her, she must return it to the rightful owner.

Billie runs into Leroy shortly after coming home. They both never stopped loving each other but they are both hurt. Leroy is hurt that she left him and Billie is hurt that Leroy never fought for her. Leroy had his reasons and they were really good ones. Would Billie still have left is she knew what was holding him back? Leroy didn’t want Billie to know what he was dealing with because he thought she would stay by his side and then resent him.

Every time Leroy and Billie seem to run into each other things go horribly wrong. Will they be able to reconcile and forget the past heartbreak they both felt?

Throw all the old feelings in with a five year separation and a pink deuce.

This book had me hooked from the first chapter. I loved the characters and thought the book was well written

Guilty Pleasures 2 is a couple of short stories. The short stories in this collection were so steamy.
If you have a few hours to spare you should definitely read this set of stories. It’s about 4 stories featuring the same guy but, the female is different in each. This was like no other spicy set I’ve read before.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R Abbott was not one of my favorites but I do not think that the was bad. It’s just a personal preference I guess and the book was well written.

Mel has to change her plans and go spend time In Spain to help out at her Aunt Rosa’s house. It turns out to be a lot more then just house sitting.
The book was busy and kept me interested for the most part. There was a language barrier between Mel and a friend she makes and the book has the male character speaking Spanish and Mel trying to understand it and it was just a bit annoying in my personal opinion. With that being said, I did like storyline and do enjoy this authors writing.

The Eastern Shore Swingers box set is made up of 3 really great books. Fisher Of Men, The Catch and Siren Call.
Each book is about people from a Swingers Group which at some point will end up opening a swingers club called the factory. Many of the same characters appear in each book.

You get a little of everything in this box set. There’s definitely lots of steam, lots of emotion and you even get a little suspense. You will definitely want to ass this box set to your library. Phoebe Alexander knocked it out of the park with these books. Loved each and every one of them.

Once Upon A Romance (A Dream Come True, #1) by Alex Bailey – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Once Upon a Romance (A Dream Come True, #1)Once Upon a Romance by Alex Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once upon a romance by Alex Bailey was a great feel good book. This is the first book Ive read by this author and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to read and how much I enjoyed it. Sophie grew up with an older sister and parents who were all obsessed with Disney World. Sophie never really understood why she didn’t enjoy going as much but it makes sense to her later in the book why.

Sophie should be visiting her boyfriend Darren’s family for Christmas this year until she finds out her niece Ariel asked Santa for one thing this year….to go to Disney. Ariel’s mom passed away a few months prior and it has been very rough on her. Sophie knows, she has to do what’s right and bring Ariel to WDW even if she has no desire to go. While in Disney she meets a man named Ray who also runs a Facebook page and is known as Professor Disney. Ray seems a little off to Sophie but, Ariel really enjoys his company so Sophie lets him tag along with them since he knows everything about Disney. Add a little pixie dist and a toothless Santa and anything can happen. How will Darren feel when he comes to Disney on Christmas Eve and finds out all about Ray.
I thought this was a well written book and it kept my attention.

F*cking Frank by Jen Luerssen – Review by Michelle Mulvey

F*cking Frank (Smirk Series Book 1)F*cking Frank by Jen Luerssen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

F*cking Frank by Jen Luerssen is book 1 In the Smirk Series. I have never read any of this authors work but cannot wait to read the next book. I want to see how Joe is going to fall in love just like Frank has. Frank is a grumpy guy that doesn’t really like people and hates small talk.
Frank plays bass in a band called Lia and The Licks. Franks friend Sebastian offers the group a summer job playing at the winery so once they all agree, they head up there and even have a place to stay.
When Frank meets Mikey, it’s insane how much they have in common. They are pretty much inseparable from the day they meet. What will happen when the summer is over and real life choices get in the way.

This was a great book from beginning to end. I loved the loyalty between friends and the chemistry between Mikey and Frank was off the charts.

The First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams – Review by Michelle Mulvey

The First Backwards ChristmasThe First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams was a cute short book that can be read on a cold afternoon when you have some time to just relax with a book and a cup of coffee.

Jack Furst had been living In South Pole, Alaska watching families one by one leave the town. Not much is left and before he knows it, the mayor is leaving too. Jack is dating a woman by the name of Joyce Nicholson who is a pilot and has been helping other towns by bringing supplies to them. What happens when Joyce is moved to be stationed somewhere else?

When the new Mayor gets the bright idea to hang Christmas trees upside down and do everything backwards, no one knew if it would help. Before long, the news of how South Pole, Alaska is celebrating Christmas becomes known all over and more and more families and relatives come to experience it.
I thought the book was well written and was a perfect read for me when I was stuck home one afternoon.

Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Series Book 4) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4)Sailors Knot by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sailors Knot by Phoebe Alexander is part of the Eastern Shore Swingers Series. This book is in my opinion the hottest and steamiest so far. We see many of the same characters in this book that we have met earlier in the series but there’s a few more we haven’t met yet too.

I thought this book was well written and let the reader really feel some of what Casey went through in her life. She definitely had her share of emotional heartbreak in life. The author let us into Casey’s past with Joshua and Gabriel. Some people think family gets involved and has opinions when your young but Casey was in her 30’s and her family still was front and center in her life causing drama.

Now here we are 3 decades later with Casey thinking back to when she was 30. She has a lot of time on her hands laying in a bed fighting a sickness. Her friends and her sister and there for her every step of the way.

Sailors Knot was a great addition to the series
