My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great tool for people with kids. Everyone should need to read this book before adopting a dog. Kids need to learn how to act. This can help so many people learn a lot about dogs. Safety is always the most important thing. Safety for the person and safety for the pet.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This children’s book was cute but not one of my favorites by this author. I read it to a 3 year old and she loved the pictures but wasn’t a big fan of the story.
A little girl thinks there is a monster under her bed and her brother doesn’t believe her. Her monster is there and scares her until she isn’t afraid of him anymore.

Reckless Love: A Small Town Slow-Burn Forbidden Love Romance (The Bennetts of Langston Falls Book #4)Reckless Love: A Small Town Slow-Burn Forbidden Love Romance by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reckless Love was a good read for me. This is book 4 in the series and there are so many characters in the book we have known from other books. Becky Bennett’s career is taking off with her brand and now she is hoping to publish The Farmers Daughters Cookbook.
She’s the only daughter in the Bennett family and everywhere she looks she finds happy couples. With Christmas coming up and her family working close with Glen Kirby, she finds a way thanks to her dad to forgive Glen for everything that has happened previously. Glen and Becky end up getting close and hiding it from the brothers until it can’t be hidden anymore. Her brothers are not happy with what’s going on and think it’s a game he is playing. One particular thing happens and maybe it will help her brothers see what’s right in front of them. Will Becky be able to be happy or will her brothers ruin whatever she has been building with Glen?

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes (Hot Flash Hookups Book 1) by Marika Ray and Sylvie Stewart – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Hot Flashes and Hockey SlashesHot Flashes and Hockey Slashes by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes.
This book was such a great read from beginning to end. I loved how Olivia just doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. She’s a middle aged divorced woman about to go to her ex husbands destination wedding. She doesn’t want to go but her daughter tells her she has to go. Her daughter Holly brings her roommate from college Hannah. The girls decide they will get someone to be Olivia’s pretend boyfriend for the wedding and Hannah decides to call her dad who hasnt exactly been a great dad to her thru the years. Roman decides to go but isn’t prepared for all things Olivia. She shows up in Belize and is nothing short of a hot mess. When she spots Roman and realizes he’s her fake boyfriend, she thinks about him getting his own room so she doesn’t need to share a bed with him. I loved Roman from the very beginning. Both Roman and Olivia have grown children who think they can parent their parents. Over the course of a week in Belize Roman and Olivia become close but that week is over before neither is ready for it to be over. With Roman being a professional hockey player in Tampa and Olivia being a successful business woman in North Carolina, there’s no way for either of them to bring up their feelings without getting heartbroken. Will one of them take the leap and voice their feelings or will they just say good bye with hopes to maybe run into eachother when they visit their daughters at school? Definitely loved Olivia and her don’t care attitude and Roman….he is the perfect guy. He has no problems voicing his opinions and he is isn’t scared of Olivia even with her hot flashes and attitude. Definitely enjoyed this read.

Wow. Cade and Lindy just might be my newest favorite couple. I absolutely love them! I love how they met, I love their chemistry. I
Love how Lindy hated him and called him Mr A Hole for so long. I really did love Cade from the very beginning even in all his grumpiness. This book had everything that I love. Enemies to lovers. Lots of heat, super strong female MC and make MC that love hard when they fall. Even when they try to fight their feelings. When Cade runs his mouth after Lindy tries to do something nice, he might lose her for good. Love love loved this book!!!

You And Me Equals Love By Marina Hanna – Review by Michelle Mulvey

You and Me Equals LoveYou and Me Equals Love by Marina Hanna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this book but it was different from what I’ve usually read by this author. Usually multiple POV’s is good in my eyes but this book, didn’t have the same affect on me. I loved the story. I loved everything about Kate and Ben with their relationship. How they met, how they got together and everything about them. It seemed odd to have so much about Jenny and Josh. I get they were best friends with the Mc’s but I didn’t really care much about their drama 🙂
Kate and Ben had a fair amount of drama which some was caused by Kates insecurities and couldve been avoided but I loved the ending. This is one of my favorite authors to read so cannot wait for her next read.

Cruel Love (Hidden Valley Elite #6)Cruel Love by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The conclusion to Phoenix and Aspen’s story. I couldn’t think of a better way for their story to go. These two had a really rough time since they met and how everything happened. I love the girls in this series. They are all so strong. Not sure how Aspen handled everything but she did it and did it well. As for Phoenix…well I guess the truth to his feelings for Aspen are there when it matters. The elite may be these big, strong guys who don’t date or settle down but all it takes is for one break thru to their heart and that’s that! Definitely loved this story with all the drama and hurdles thrown in. Looking forward to Shane’s book next!

LIES-TRUTH-LOVE by Marina Hanna – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Lies - Truth - LoveLies – Truth – Love by Marina Hanna
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I definitely enjoyed reading this book. There was so much drama in the book but it was soooo good. Ethan and Olivia had chemistry right from the beginning. Too bad Ethan didn’t check all Olivia’s boxes for what she looks like in a guy but technically he did. Hence where the lies come in. Guys should know by now, no sense in hiding the truth. It always comes out before you let us in on it. Olivia and Ethan met in a coffee shop one day when Ethan came to
Olivia’s rescue when she wasn’t seeing eye to eye with a guy she was set up with on a blind date. Ethan and Olivia kept meeting eachother every day at the same coffee shop and became friends until they decided, enough with the blind dates, he will be her plus one for a family destination wedding.
Ethan and Olivia actually end up falling for eachother until she realizes everything has been a huge lie. Will they ever have the chance to fall in love or will those lies be to strong to overcome?

Ignite My Heart (North Fork Series Book 2)Ignite My Heart by Alicia Street
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading Ignite My Heart. Being a nanny myself, I can totally relate haha! I liked the 2 main characters along with Ciara. This book is about a woman named Blake who has had nothing but bad luck for as long as she can remember. Her marriage fell apart, her husband decided he wanted a divorce when she could t get pregnant and then married another woman who was pregnant with his baby.
Blake was laid off and now she is staying in a dark dilapidated backwoods cottage of a friends for free.

Blake’s brother decides to introduce her to his friend Morgan who is looking for a live-in nanny. At first, Blake gets annoyed and walks out but after
getting home to a leak, she decides maybe it’s not such a bad thing after all.

Morgan has big baby mama drama. His daughter is 9 years old and now all of a sudden, Fawn wants to see her daughter and wants custody of her.

Morgan and Blake have so much sexual tension that they try so hard to fight until they can’t anymore. Will Blake just be a nanny with benefits or will Morgan finally show her how much she means to him and have a real relationship with her? This is the first book I’ve read by this author and thought it was a good read.

Cruel Hate (Hidden Valley Elite Book 5) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Cruel Hate (Hidden Valley Elite #5)Cruel Hate by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I cannot stress enough how good this entire series is. That being said every single book gets better and better.
This particular book is about Aspen Reid and Phoenix Bennett. Phoenix was one of my favorite character throughout the books. He always seems calm, cool and quiet. This book is about how Phoenix and Aspen hooked up one night and now she is pregnant and they both go to the same college so see eachother regularly. They are “fake dating” the mean girls are all over Aspen every chance they get. Luckily she has a few girls in her corner.

These two characters are both such strong lovable characters but they can’t get on the same page. Phoenix grew up without a dad and he refuses to let his child grow up the same way. He’s always giving Aspen money for things, but she doesn’t really want that. I mean, yea it helps but she just wants him there. To ask how she’s feeling, show up and ask how doctor appointments went.

Phoenix grew up having a very strong relationship with his grandfather. His grandfather snaps his fingers and they jump. When his grandfathers asks him to do one thing, he doesn’t know if he will be able to however, he HAS TO!!! There will be consequences if he doesn’t follow through with grandfathers orders.
The way this book ended was crazy. I was like NO WAY!!! I usually hate books with cliffhangers but Jeez, this author just sucks her readers in with every word she writes. Another great book to add to this amazing series and cannot wait to see what happens on the next few books!
Grab your copies today. Seriously what are you waiting for. You will thank me!!

Books should be read on order to avoid spoilers.

Russian and Royally ComplicatedRussian and Royally Complicated by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was just crazy. I loved it and was hooked from the very first chapter. I really wish I read book 1 first but didnt realize the order of them is recommended to be read that way.
Daphne is visiting Lovolia for her best friend Bridget’s wedding to prince Fyn. Every time Daphne comes for a visit, her and Fyn’s best friend…a member of the Royal guard Lev are at eachothers throats. They can’t stand eachother. He’s always grumpy and she’s just loud with no clue on how to act around royalty.
Things change in the reading room at the wedding. These two finally hate screw eachother thinking it will get it out of their system.

Daphne is dropped off at the airport when the couple leaves for their honeymoon but she decides to go to Elysium….only one problem…that’s where lev is staying for holiday while Fyn and Bridget are on their honeymoon.

When Lev finds out Daphne is there, he wants her to leave. Both of these characters have lots of baggage. Lots of things on their minds. They agree to stay out of eachothers way until they don’t.

Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, the suspense of the situation hooks you right in.

There’s a lot more to this book than 2 people who can’t stand eachother hooking up at their best friends wedding. There’s lots of feelings. There some happy, some sad, some scared and some heat! Great 5 star book

Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals Book 3) by Deborah Garland – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Sleeping with the Enemy (Astoria Royals, #3)Sleeping with the Enemy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mafia Romance is my newest obsession so I knew I had to read this as soon as I saw it. I loved the story of Priscilla and Riordan.
Many years ago Riordan was close with Priscilla and her dad. He was a few years older than her and they both had feelings for eachother. Riordan knew he wanted to make her his but he wanted to wait until she was 18. One year she offered herself to him but he turned her down and she ran from a party. When Riordan found her she was being attacked by 3 men and he saw red! He rescued her but he was too late to save her from SA. She left and he never saw her again until many years later. She was the girlfriend / sub of the enemy.
She was undercover and looked different so he didn’t know it was her immediately but she knew who he was. That night she saved him from being shot. He took her home, had her patched up and when he found out who she was, refused to let her go.

He vows to keep her safe even though she wants to go back to finish what she started and get a promotion she’s been looking forward to. When she finally returns to the enemy to get her stored evidence, it won’t be so easy to get what she needs and leave. The Mafia doesn’t give up so easily. I really enjoyed this book and the characters. Another 5 star read from this author for me.

Chase doesn’t recognize Angelica but she recognizes him immediately. She tries to brush him off but he is persistent. Will Angelica ever be able to forgive him for how he treated her in high school? Will she be able to give him a chance?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cruel king is a great book with lots of heart. I loved everything about this book. Matthias was such a cruel person to Ava as they were growing up. Treated her as the help. She was / is the daughter of the help but Mr King never treated anyone any different. He saw Ava as the daughter he never had.
Ava and Theo, ( one of the younger brothers of Matthias ) were best friends. Like so close and did everything together. Ava always had a crush on Matthias and Matthias always had a crush on Ava but he was warned away from her. Matthias, being the eldest King son, had certain rules to abide by. One day during a severe snow storm, Ava walks up to the main house while Mr King and all the sons except Matthias have driven into the city and they get stuck there for two days. During those two days, Matthias and Ava get very close and have an amazing 2 days together which soon comes to an end.

Ava is sent to
Spend time with her Aunt and never looks back. Matthias and Ava don’t see eachother or speak for 5 long years. In those 5 years, he ends up hating her for leaving him without a word. He treats her so bad when when they see eachother again at the King mansion.
This book was so good. So many feelings and lots of heart and heat. A great 5 star read

Love Is What It Is: A holiday RomanceLove Is What It Is: A holiday Romance by Marina Hanna
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love is what it is and some people can’t describe it. Sometimes it happens quickly,
Sometimes it doesn’t happen at all.
Toni and Clive are seeing eachother / sleeping together and Clive mentions, they should go away for a bit. So they end up getting on a plane and taking a trip. What could better than a relaxing flight, a vacation with lots of sex, sun, sand and the ocean? Except all they did was fight from the time they got to the airport and it just got worse when they checked in to the hotel. Toni ends up leaving while he’s still asleep And booking a room at a much nicer hotel. As she’s about to check in, she locks eyes with a beautiful man and they are both attracted to eachother immediately. Mickey ends up stepping in when Clive shows up harassing Toni then introduces himself and they get to talking. They have a steamy, fun, romantic 2 week holiday while she’s there. All good things must come to an end though. Especially when there’s an ex wife who just won’t leave Mickey alone.
This book had me interested from the very beginning. It was fairly short but there was no boring pages filled with useless info added in. The book flowed and was captivating. Loved it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book….where do I even begin?? This book totally had me captivated since the very beginning. I feel like it was a bit longer then I usually but it needed to be. There was so much going on.
Salvatore was abandoned at such a young age. His mama was taken from him by someone but he doesn’t know who. He grew up with his grandmother until she passed away. He swore he would find who was responsible and make them pay.
He had his eye on Serafina for
Many years. They would see eachother at the beach and both looked forward to catching glimpses of eachother. There’s a lot of suspense, a lot of action and a whole
Lot of heat in this book. I don’t want to give anything away but it’s so hard.
The characters are all so strong and just incredible. There are some who you will not like from the beginning. I loved how this whole book played out and ended. Family is everything. Mafia books are my
New favorite genre to read. 5+++ stars. Cannot wait to see what gem the author brings out next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grand Slam is book 3 in the series and this series just keeps getting better and better. I love these characters and want to be friends with them. Haha
This book is focused on Heath and his love interest.
Back when they did the bachelor auction he met a thorn in his side names Grace who ran the animal shelters they were raising money for. She seemed very bossy and tested Heath like a child. They both seemed to
Dislike eachother a great deal. Why can’t either of them get the other out of their mind?
They see eachother again at the hospital when Hannah has her baby. Grace and Heath end up sleeping at Hannah’s house for the night until Grace leaves first thing in the morning trying to put space between her and Heath before something could happen.
To bad for Grace, Heath doesn’t give up
Easily. This was such a great read and cannot wait to see what else this author has to share with us.

Cruel Start (Hidden Valley Elite #4.5)Cruel Start by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author struck gold with this series. The first few books were great and add this prequel in and now I’m dying for the next book.
This is mainly about Aspen ( the new girl to town ) and Phoenix. She doesn’t know him or his reputation and he doesn’t know her as they go to different schools. They literally run into eachother one day and neither can get the other out of their mind.
A few days later they see eachother again and this time they get to know eachother a bit. When their time is over He walks away without looking back.
They both are going to Thane so they will see eachother around campus. What will happen when Aspen lets him in on what she finds out. Aside from the chemistry between these two. Phoenix just might be a genius for what he manages to pull off with Shane. Cannot wait to see what happens there. Amazing addition to a great series and impatiently waiting for Cruel Hate!

Brutal Nights was such a good read. Brutal Days and Brutal Nights are Damon’s books. After that cliffhanger at the end of Brutal Days, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one. Damon seemed like he was the most
Blah out of the 4 guys. After reading this,
Your going to fall
Inlove with him. I honestly didn’t think Damon had it
In him but I totally
Swooned for him.
Parts of this book reminded me so much of
Riley’s story. This definitely had a lot more going on. Gia and Sky were best friends but will they be able to remain best friends when Gia refuses to hear Sky out? Gia and her family have done a lot for Sky and her mom especially when they needed it. Will Gia be there for Sky when it really counts?
Run don’t walk….RUN and get this book today.
