Big City Heat: A High-Rise Romance Anthology (A Steamy Contemporary Romance Box Set) – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Big City Heat: A High-Rise Romance AnthologyBig City Heat: A High-Rise Romance Anthology by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great Anthology but everyone has their favorites. Mine was none other then the amazing Phoebe Alexander with A Hole. This read was so cute, funny and swoon worthy. A Hole
Is about a comedian named Ace Bennett who has a crush on Ella Craig who is bank teller for a bank which happens to be on the same building as his apartment. He makes excuses to go into the bank and Ella knows it. Finally one day Ace gets up the nerve to ask her out but she turns him down. He then asks her to come to his comedy show and there is a bet made. Ella goes to the comedy show with an opinion about Ace she had gotten from her friends. She has a plan in place. She just wants to find out if he’s as good of a kisser and she is told. Sometimes you can’t believe everything you hear. Sometimes things don’t happen the way you think they do. What will happen with Ace and Ella. Is he really the A Hole she was warned he is?
Such a great story. Great main characters and of course the supporting actors were awesome too. I hope there are more reads coming with the rest of the characters.

Playing Series 3 Book Set by Stephanie Queen – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Playing Series 3 Book SetPlaying Series 3 Book Set by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The playing Series boxset by Stephanie Queen was a great series. I have read a few of this authors books in the past and I am familiar with her writing style. These books were a little different from what I have read by her previously. This really was the perfect set of books to read. It’s starting to get cold out so I found myself snuggled up with my puppies at night, a cup of coffee in hand and got lost in this series. Who doesn’t likes sports romance books or 2nd Chance Romance reads? It’s hard to pick a favorite. You will have to read them yourself and pick one of your own. I enjoyed all 3.

Playing for the money was about bad boy Hunter getting moved to a new team. He needs to keep himself on the right track and prove himself but what can he do when the woman he is supposed to work along side is so attractive. He finds it hard to keep his distance as she does as well. The icing on the cake is, she isn’t just any woman…she’s the coaches daughter!!! Loved the character and Loved reading this one!!

Playing for love was another great read. These two characters are not new friends. They do know each other from sometime ago. The time for them just wasn’t right. Now things may be different. This was a sweet read. I liked the characters. What will happen now that Gabe and Mia are spending some time together?? Read the book and find out.

Playing for keeps has a little bit of a different feel for me. I enjoyed reading the book but, sometimes certain books hit you differently. This happens to be one of them. The main characters in this book are Tate and Chloe. These two have an attraction to each other even if they don’t want to. What happens when their friends get involved?

I can’t wait to read more books by this author. These books were all amazing.

Secure Heart (Chase Security Series #3) by R.L. Dunn – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Secure Heart (Chase Security Series Book 3)Secure Heart by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely love The Chase Security Series. Secure Heart is Book 3 in the series. All of the books are great and detailed. The author did a great job giving the readers what they like.
Julian and Holly are both great characters. There’s other characters in the book from previous books but this one focuses on these main characters. My favorite is Sadie though. Holly is an up and coming singer who ends up needing a great security team to help keep herself and her daughter Sadie safe. Who else is there aside from the Chase team! They are the best. Julian and Holly begin to get close but, both have a terrible past. Will they be able to let each other in or will they just end up with a professional relationship? When Holly and Julian both have people after them, what can they do? Is it the same person? Will they be able to get through these attacks in one piece? There’s a lot of action in this book and some suspense. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this book. I would also recommend reading the others in the series. You will not be disappointed.

THE PATIENCE OF KARMA (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery #5) by Cynthia Hamilton – Review by Michelle Mulvey

The Patience of KarmaThe Patience of Karma by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Patience of Karma is book 5 in the series. This book can be read as a stand alone however it’s always good to have read the previous books to understand the level of relationships and what was conjured up to get them where they are today. I have read the previous books. Mike and Madeline have a long history. Here they are back at it again doing what they love. I always wonder if the books would keep my attention better if it was one case at a time. I enjoyed reading the book but it did take me a while to finish. This duo has 2 cases which are keeping them busy. A missing nephew who is thought to have possibly passed away but there’s reason to believe he’s still alive. He’s needed for a very important reason involving his sister who desperately needs him. The other case is a high profile person who believes his wife is cheating. Should be a very easy cut and dry case. With any good book there’s always surprise bumps in the road to keep us entertained. I love the relationship between the characters and always wonder what they will be up to next.

Accepted (Rhodes Family Book 2) by Lisa Wood – Review by Michelle Mulvey

AcceptedAccepted by Lisa Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Accepted by Lisa Wood is book 2 in the Rhodes Family Series. Book 1 and 2 kind of
take place at the same time. While reading book 2 which has the main focus on Ava, Hunter and Thomas,
there are some parts about Gabe and Liv in there that was mentioned in book 1. I love having the back story
on the trio. This book was so good and I loved the characters. For a minute there I was like no way, not again!!!
Only to find out it was quite the opposite. I love the character of Ava!
I cannot wait for more of this family series.

Secure Again (Chase Security Series #2) by R.L. Dunn – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Secure Again (Chase Security Series Book 2)Secure Again by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secure Again was definitely a 5 star read for me. This book had everything one could possibly want in a book. Dr Elizabeth Reed and Martin Bailey are both such strong characters and I love them both. They both have amazing jobs and are both so good at what they do.
Elizabeth Reed works in a hospital and is the best at what she does. I love some of her antics such as hip checking the bed to make the heart jump to show there is a heartbeat.
When Elizabeth decided what she wanted to do in life she went all in. She will not save a cop over a prisoner. Everyone gets equal treatment in her care. When she starts noticing things that are not how they should be she asks questions. Such questions could be dangerous for her. Martin and Elizabeth have a history and when they come face to face some feelings come barreling back!
There is so much going on in this book and I’m glad Martin went to Iowa when he did. Someone is out to get Elizabeth, will he be able to save her and her career? There were lots of characters….so many were evil some were good, it was hard to keep them straight but I did. This was a great read and I strongly recommend it to everyone.

Shattered: Rhodes Family Book 1 by Lisa Wood – Review by Michelle Mulvey

ShatteredShattered by Lisa Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered is probably one of my favorite books I’ve read in the last few months. I absolutely love when a guy is so crazy over a girl in a book and it is so out of character for them.
This book gave the reader everything they could ever want. There was the the playboy who can have any girl he wants, then there’s initial attraction with someone there shouldn’t be.
I loved the characters and the storyline had me hooked from the very beginning.
Everyone has secrets. Olivia has had a rough time leading up to her arrival in NYC. Her and Gabe meet at an interview for a job where he will essentially be her boss. He has a few secrets that everyone tells him to tell Olivia about but ofcourse he doesn’t. What will happen when the truth comes out. Will she be able to forgive me? Will he even have a chance to tell her why he did what he did? Such a great read. Loved it and cannot wait for more!

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan – Review by Michelle Mulvey

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love StoryThe Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Walls Between Us by Kate McGahan was a well written book. This is the first book I have read by this author. I wasn’t really sure what I was getting myself into when I started reading the book. It definitely wasn’t something I’ve read previously. There were a lot of real issues going on in the book. Things we go through on a daily basis. Some people choose not to talk about these things because it turns into a political thing but the struggle is real.
I liked most of the characters. I was left with a lot of questions. The love story between Benito and Sarah had me asking why…but as they stated many times in the book they felt they were soulmates. I feel the book was hard to finish for me because I wasn’t interested in the subject however, I cannot give a bad review because of my preferences. I feel the author did a great job with writing and explaining the story!

REBECCA STEELE FINDING A DREAM (REBECCA STEELE SERIES BOOK 2) by JOANNE PATTERSON – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream (Rebecca Steele Series #2)Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream by Joanne Patterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream is book 2 in the series. I did not read book 1 but, that didn’t really affect my review. However, I may have liked the book more if I read book 1! I enjoyed reading this book. The characters were likable which makes it that much easier to read and enjoy a book. This was a quick sweet read about the life of Becky and some love along the way. I really liked reading about Chance and Becky. Every good book has some suspense and some twists to keep you entertained. I found myself trying to put the book down but saying, one more chapter first. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this book.

St. Nick’s Christmas Wish (Holiday Hunks Book 7 – Hot Hunks-Steamy Romance Collection Book) by Tamara Ferguson – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Holiday Hunks-St. Nick's Christmas Wish (Hot Hunks Steamy Romance Collection Book 7)Holiday Hunks-St. Nick’s Christmas Wish by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tamara Ferguson has always been one of my “go-to” authors. I have loved every book she has written and this book included. This book is about a broken hearted stock broker named Nick Hanover. His childhood wasn’t one some of the typical teenage boys he knew had. His parents hardly ever speak and never came to any of his games. Mike took him under his wing being 2 years older and they built a great friendship. That’s when Nick realized there were secrets in his family.
When Nick turned 18 his dad was a lot more open about things and told Nick things no one else knew. At 18 years old Nick will have a lot on his plate.
About 12 years later, Nick is nursing a broken heart and decides to go vacation on Bali with Jack and they stay at with their childhood friend Rand. When they are out they meet 3 women Ciara, Janelle and Emma. Nick and Emma immediately have chemistry but of course they gets messed up somehow but not before they share a heated kiss that neither can forget when vacation ends. Emma and Nick end up running into each other again in Crystal Rock. Everything seems to be going well for them until Mick gets that phone all about his half brother. Will Nick be able to tell Emma all the secrets and still be happy or will the secrets tear them apart. This book has a lot going on but it was a really good book and keeps you interested from the very beginning.

The Matchmaker and The Marine: A Second Chance Small-Town Romance by Lucinda Race – Review by Michelle Mulvey

The Matchmaker and The Marine: A Second Chance Small-Town RomanceThe Matchmaker and The Marine: A Second Chance Small-Town Romance by Lucinda Race
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The matchmaker and the marine was a great book that was well written with great characters.
The two main characters have their own issues.
Melinda moved to Chester to start a new life after losing her husband and facing memories everywhere in her home. It was to much for her to handle. In Chester she has become a very successful matchmaker who gets referral and referral from the many HEA’s she has played a part in creating.
Adam is in Chester staying with a friend who is like a brother. They have been best friends for many years. Adam is at a wedding when he runs into Melinda. They start to talk about how they both know the couple and become quick friends. Adam hires Melinda to be his matchmaker but things don’t go very smooth for him. He’s ex military with many emotional and some physical scars. Adam not only hires Melinda but she also hires him to do some work in her yard. The chemistry is amazing between these two main characters throughout the book but is it enough? What happens when a secret is exposed that isn’t ready to be told?
I thought this was a really great book and look forward to many more from this author. This is definitely a book you do not want to miss out on!

New Jerk in Town: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy (Carolina Kisses Book 2)New Jerk in Town: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

New Jerk In Town by Sylvie Stewart was a great read. I love the chemistry between the two main characters Jill and Milo. They had a friendship 12 years ago and haven’t seen each other since that crazy summer. Now when Jills car breaks down as she’s passing thru, the last person she expects to see is Milo. Of course they fight when they first meet but have no choice but to speak to each when they need to. This book takes you on a roller coaster. I like how the author gives the reader the backstory to help us understand why Milo and Jill are the way they are towards each other. I really loved reading this book and have quickly become a fan of this author in the few books I have gotten to read so far!

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia #5) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia Book 5)Dares & Dice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of this series. Every time a new book comes out I lounge on the couch and can usually finish it in a day or two. Dares & Dice was no different. Phoebe Alexander hit the jackpot when she started this series. I absolutely love it. Dares & Dice is book # 5 and each book is better then the last!

This book is about two sets of people. Makenna is there with her maid of honor and 3 bridesmaids while Ty is there with his best man and 3 groomsmen. What are the odds they will break up into teams for a scavenger hunt? Well they do and they decide 5 groups of 2 would make up the teams. I love the 2 main characters Makenna and Ty. They are both set to get married in the next few weeks but, is it really what they want? Ty has some secrets about who he really is and it will come out eventually. I thought Ty and Makenna were both 2 strong characters. Makenna is such a good girl and her fiancé has no idea how good she really is.
Makenna and Ty get very close during the hunt but then it is cut short and they don’t get to say goodbye. Will they have another chance meeting? I was appalled by what Makenna finds out when she gets back from her honeymoon. This was such a great read and an awesome addition to the series. I can’t wait to see if there are any more books. Dares & Dice can be read as a stand-alone.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bottomed Out by Brooke May is such a great read. I enjoyed this book from the first page. I loved how strong of a character Jax is. He definitely defied the odds. He may not have his dream career but he has a great job and is great at it. His friends cheered him on every step of the way.
When every thought he couldn’t do it, he did it and did it well.

He was always a stud but now, his luck has changed. When he meets Lennox, his luck changes. Jax and Lennox have chemistry right away. The only issue is her brother!!! He tries everything. He’s a very overprotective brother but, is Jax willing to give up and let him win?
I loved the characters in this book and I loved the storyline.
This was a great feel good read to show the average person , no matter what happens, you can always overcome just about anything.

Not So Far (Love Grows series Book 3)Not So Far by Renee Regent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not so Far by Renee Regent was a great read. The book had me hooked from the very beginning. Silas has to return home to get together with his cousin and sell off their grandfathers property / home. While he is there, he decides to meet up with a friend who currently works with a woman he spent a summer with about 20 years ago. She was always the one who got away and she felt the same about him. I absolutely love second chance romance books and this one was great!
Silas doesn’t know if she will even see him. When they meet up, the chemistry is still there. They both have feelings for each other even though there are secrets….soooo many secrets! What will happen when all the secrets have been exposed. Will they be able to see past them and move on once they have the answers? I love the characters in the book! Cannot wait for more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Perfect by Tricia Copeland was a different kind of book then I am used to. It was kind of weird reading about her with different men and then the story ends. I wasn’t really expecting that even though the description said she takes different paths to find the perfect man.
I thought the book was well written. I feel like I get into a part and then pow! On to another. Not sure how I feel about that. LoL I did enjoy the book but, the ending??? Come on now! I have a feeling, I know who she ends up with from a few lines in the last few pages “ rain or shine” and his sparkling eyes. But then, what about “ from one end of the earth to the other” I dunno. I wasn’t really into how the book ended. I was rooting for Chase or Liam but, who know who it was. I wish the author gave us a bit more at the end.

This is book 1 In The Forgotten Truth Trilogy. This is the first book I’ve ever read by this author and was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed reading this book and it kept me glued to my kindle from chapter 1. This book had everything one could want in a book. The chemistry between Nathan and Bryer was ridiculously hot. The book had lots of drama and suspense. There really is a lot going on in the book and you can miss some vital info if you don’t pay attention. I really like the 2 main characters but didn’t love the supporting character. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series

Satan’s Devils are back again and better then ever. Hawk and Olivia have known each other since they were babies. They were close then became involved. There was distance and now they are together. I love the characters in this story. I love reading about them. The book kept me entertained and found myself reading one more chapter to see what happens.
It’s an emotionally challenging read. A lot happens and you will find yourself dying to see what will happen next.
I thought this book was a great read and look forward to more in this series. You definitely want to read this and once you do, I think you will enjoy this book as much as I did. What will happen when Hawk makes a big decision? Will Hawk and Liv be able to be happy or will something get in the way? Such a great read!

This book was a 5 plus read and had me hooked from the very beginning. I found myself staying up late at night to get a few more pages in. Blair is one of the main characters and she has a special love / hate relationship with her older brothers best friend Ashton. They have known each other for over a decade. Blair has been hiding her feelings for Ashton for years and Ashton has been hiding his feelings for her for years also. Is it worth ruining a relationship with his best friend ? What will happen when Blair goes to college? There were to many things to worry about so everyone kept their crushes hidden well until one night at a beach party.
A lot happens at the beach party and something’s won’t be easy to forget.
I really loved this book and cannot wait for more. These characters were all Loveable and the story was completely relatable. You definitely won’t be disappointed when you read this book.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Romance in Rehoboth boxed set book 4-6 was a great collection of books you don’t want to
miss out on. These books all focus on different couples and every reader gets to decide which couple is their favorite or which book is your favorite. I really enjoyed this set of books.
There was the romance and the teasing fun that kept me going in these books.
My favorite had to be Chris and Brynne. I think they are one of my top 5 favorites.
The characters are ones you can relate to and will find yourself loving throughout the books. The author did a great
job as always giving the readers characters we can love.

This book had so much suspense and I just kept scrolling to see what was going to happen next.
I really enjoyed reading about Nadia and Cade. This book was a great read!

Mountains Climbed (Mountains, #2)Mountains Climbed by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mountains Climbed is book 2 in the series and let me just inform you, this is one series you do not want to miss out on. The books are meant to be read In order since the story continues and you do not want to miss a beat. Sarah and James met and had a friends with benefits relationship. It was more for both of them but somehow they both seemed to move on. The only problem with that is, James knows Sarah’s children, mom and best friend. So when you go through a breakup sometimes it’s hard to get over it when everyone knows what happened and can bring up the name of the person.
In this book James is deployed and with someone else. Sarah has met someone who seems to be more her style. What is with Sarah and the younger men, who knows. While James and Sarah both seem content in their new relationships, they still cannot stop thinking about each other. What will happen when James returns in 9 months. Will he see Sarah, Will he want to rekindle things with Sarah? Will Sarah want to open that door again or will she move on and try not to get her heart broken two times by the same person?
I really enjoyed these two books in the series so far. I loved the characters and loved seeing Sarah’s kids, Abby especially grow up. I cannot wait to read more of this series. Sooo soooo good!! Trust me!!

Mountains Wanted (Mountains Series Book 1)Mountains Wanted by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mountains Wanted is book 1 of the series. What a way to start a series off. Wow this book was definitely a 5++ star read.
Those of you who know Phoebe’s reading should expect nothing but top notch! She has become one of my go to authors and she never disappoints us. This book has some amazing main characters and some pretty good supporting character also.
Sarah and James are both likable from the very beginning. I love how Sarah is a grown woman who has been around the block once or twice, has a good head on her shoulders and knows what she wants.
James is a tad younger then Sarah but you would never know it if the author didn’t tell us that. Sarah and James meet one day at a lecture. However they have seen each other before that. When Sarah saw him at a coffee shop previously, she didn’t hesitate to check him out from head to toe.
When James and Sarah get together, it’s as friends with benefits but does it ever really stay that way in the book world? These two have such chemistry, your kindle will be on fire as you read it.
There were so many good parts in this book and I don’t want to give any spoilers away. There’s a lot of depth to this book and you will enjoy reading about everything. Sarah’s best friend, Sarah’s children and we can’t forget James and his family.
Mountains wanted is packing lots of heat and will leave you begging for more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

  • Covert Threat is book 5 In The series. I have not read all the books in the series but, I believe you do not have to in order to know what is going on.
    This book was great. I found myself staying awake later at night because I didn’t want to put the book down.
    Covert Threat was filled with action, suspense and confusion. As a reader I can honestly say the author had me hooked from the very beginning. Who doesn’t love a good book with a hot former navy seal?
    Jules is one of the top scientist working on an antidote known to be able to save lives. Everything is going well until
    One morning she finds an odd message on her computer at work. She always shuts her computer down when she leaves for the night and no one can get into her office building without proper ID.
    When things start happening her boos hires Trev to be With Jules to and from work every day. People start getting injured and possibly even killed and they are framing Jules for it all.
    Jules has an old cookbook from her mom that has a letter inside from her mother. Her mom told her to only open the letter if she feels threatened because it is like opening Pandora’s Box. Jules doesn’t know if she should open the letter or leave it where it is.
    Jules doesn’t have a lot of memory from her younger years. Her family was in a boating accident where her dad and sister were killed. Luckily Jules and her mom were saved but doe to that accident, Jules doesn’t really remember anything. She’s not sure what they letter holds.
    When she finds out who is behind the mysterious things happening, she starts to remember certain things from her childhood. Things are a lot more serious then she thinks. This book was a great read!review by @xchellex

Taming Zane (Almost Perfect Series Book 2)Taming Zane by Lisa Lanay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this read. It was a happy, fun, sweet read! Shannon and Zane were perfect for each other. Zane is a smoking hot plastic surgeon who travels the world to donate his time to others who are in need. Shannon is close with her family…much closer then you can imagine. Her and her brothers all love within feet of each other. Shannon is flying to California for an interview for a grant. When some sexy stud sits next to her on the plane, she doesn’t know how she will get through her flight. Lucky for her, Zane is a really nice guy and is down to earth. They spend some of the flight getting to know each other and Zane gives Shannon her number so she can give him a call and he can get the name of a real estate agent his brother used. If the interview goes well, Shannon will be moving there for a little bit.

Luckily for Shannon, she finds Zane’s number and decides to call him when she she’s out shopping and realizes her wallet is not in her tote bag. Did she leave it in a store or did someone take it out of her bag? Zane is there for her In a heartbeat and let’s her stay at his place while she tries to figure out a plan. Zane and Shannon are perfect for each other but, Shannon doesn’t plan on moving from her family and Zane has patients who wait months for an appointment with him.

How can something so long distance work?
You have to read this book and see if they are able to
Overcome the distance.
I thought this book was just an all around great read with great writing and a great storyline that will grab your attention and keep it from the first chapter.

THE RUNAROUND: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy (CAROLINA CONNECTIONS BOOK 6) By SYLVIE STEWART – Review by Michelle Mulvey

The Runaround (Carolina Connections #6)The Runaround by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book from page one. You always know within the first 2 chapters in your going to love or hate the book. I should’ve known before I started reading that I was going to love it. Sylvie Stewart has had me hooked from the first book I’ve read of hers. I can add this to my list of faves by her.

Jax finds out he has a daughter but she isn’t a young little girl. She’s a teenager! How do you expect a teenage girl to react finding out she has a dad whom she has never met before. Jax keeps trying but, Lola wants nothing to do with him.

Jax reaches out to Ari who he knows thru mutual friends. Ari has an awesome voice and becomes Lola’s voice teacher. Jax knows getting Ari involved could be risky because there is a lot of sexual tension between them. Ari worked on creating a website for Jax last year and it was a miracle he got thru it without throwing her down.

Ari and Jax try to be friends but they both imagine more happening between them. What will happen when they slip up and give into temptation? Will it be a one time thing like Jax is used to or will he not be able to get enough. How will Lola react? Will Lola ever see Jax as her dad or will she always have the teenage attitude? I felt bad for Jax throughout the book because he tried hard to get to know Lola but she blamed him for not being around even though he had no idea about her until that phone call from her mom.

I look forward to more books by this author. I love her work. You don’t want to skip by this great read. Grab your copy today.

Set it Free (Fallen Eagles MC Book 3) by T. Birmingham – Review by Michelle Mulvey

Set it Free (Fallen Eagles MC Book 3)Set it Free by T. Birmingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well well well, The Markham sisters are back and ready for a fight. This is book 3 in the series and is all about Spring. I loved Summer ( Kit ), I loved Winter but neither of them compare to Spring and the demons she fights on a daily basis. A lot of the same characters reappear in book 3 so that’s a plus! I love this group of characters and cannot wait for more.

This book shows how someone fights an addiction and what they go through on a daily basis. An addiction is t something one can control and risks losing everything they have. Then addiction can cause one to lose their family, significant other, job, ect. Some struggle more then others.

This book has you feeling a lot of feels. There’s some heartache, some happiness, lots of action and of course suspense.
I highly recommend you read this book but, you should definitely read the series in order.
