Be One with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs, #2)Be One with Me by C.A. Miconi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Be One with Me (Finding Love in Green Springs Book 2) by CA Miconi was a sweet romantic read. I loved the small town vibe it reminded me of a Hallmark movie. Sally was strong and independent looking to run away. Nolan was a rock, knowing himself and his place. I loved these two and they really grew on me throughout. I enjoyed the pacing and plot twists. Definitely worth the time to read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love Gaia: The Diary Directive by TL Clark was a captivating read. The point of views switching from past to present was uniquely done. I appreciated it in the YA dystopia setting so much. I enjoyed Ahora and her friends, they were so naive and innocent. The topics covered really hit close to home but it was still an uplifting read.

Satan's Devils MC Boxset Books 1-5Satan’s Devils MC Boxset Books 1-5 by Manda Mellett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Satan’s Devils MC Boxset Books 1-5 (Satan’s Devils MC Series) by Manda Mellett had so much to offer! I loved the variety of the stories and enjoyed the individual growth. Having all five books in one box set was great! I jumped right into the next one when I finished.

Turning Wheels
Turning Wheels was the first book in the series. I loved Sophie and my heart hurt for her. Seeing her go from depressed to strong and confident was empowering. There were so many emotions I came back to this book multiple times. I loved the story and kept coming back until it was all done.

Drummer’s Beat
Drummer’s Beat was an intense read! So much action and steam! I loved Sam’s strength and confidence. She is a woman on a mission. This is definitely a heavy read and did also take me some time to get through but like Turning Wheels was definitely a book I enjoyed going back to.

Slick Running
Slick Running had me in tears! So much heaviness and tough subject matter. This was the heaviest and hardest read. I love the writing and the plot, Ella and Slick go through the ringer.

Targeting Dart
Targeting Dart was a great read! I loved Alex, curvy and sassy. She was one of my favorite read in the set. There was still a lot of heavy subject matter. There was a lot of steamy parts while reading. I loved all the twists and turns and details.

Heart Broken
Heart Broken was another emotional read. So much heaviness and emotions to work through. I struggled with Heart but I think he changed enough and grew on me. I loved the writing and the plot.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hero High: Figure In The Flames by Mina Chara is a fantastic fantasy story all wrapped in one book. I loved the series and really enjoyed the adventure I got to take with Friday and her superhero journey. There is so much to love about the series, there is something to be said about a “dystopian” world where you watch super heroes on tv and then get to see the behind the scenes. I loved all the twists and turns that the story took and the wonderful character development. This is a great bundle to get through on a long weekend or if you have the time to just sit and devour it in one sitting.

How (Stalker Series Book 3) by Megan Mitcham was a great mystery read! I loved Libby, she is strong, beautiful, and smart.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen was an emotional read. I had tears while reading most of this book. There were plenty of moments as a third party observer where I just wanted to resolve the issue, I got super invested in Calum and Olivia. I usually go for light hearted reads but it’s books with themes like this that end up really staying with.It brings to mind the whole thought of don’t judge a book by it’s cover. This was definitely a heavy book but the ending and lessons that both characters learn really make it worth the time and investment.
