TanglesTangles by Sharleen Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tangles by Sharleen Scott was such a deep read. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I felt the pull of the story right at the beginning. The way that the story is written just grabs you and takes you on a wild ride. I felt my heart ache for Logan as he goes on this mission of understanding his history. There was a book I recently read that made me want to spend more time with my family and ask more questions and this book just solidified that feeling for me all over again.

Discovery (The Orphan Train Saga Book 1)Discovery by Sherry A. Burton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Discovery (The Orphan Train Saga Book 1) by Sherry Burton was a super emotional read. I would give this book a five out of five stars. I was hooked from the second chapter and could not put it down. Cindy’s journey to discover actually had me wanting to call up my parents and just spend a ton of time figuring out their history. Sherry Burton did a great job of making me feel connected to the story and I really felt like I was going on a journey of discovery myself. The storytelling was phenomenal.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Claimed (The Torzial Affair) by Via Mari was a great continuation of the series. I would give this book a five out of five stars. This book picks up right where the second one left off. Jenny’s life continues to stay complicated, but like with everything else she keeps to keep making progress. Brian always has a plan and things tend to go his way whether by design or force. Another book I just struggled to put down!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fools Rush In (Interstellar Rescue #3) by Donna Frelick was a great addition to the Interstellar Rescue. I would give this book a five out of five stars. I love Donna’s world and the story is just mind blowing. I love the multi genre and the characters that are developed beautiful throughout the book. Rayna is my life goal character; strong, independent, and sassy. I love her attitude throughout the book. Murphy is a deep character with multiple levels, some that he does not even acknowledge. Definitely a great read and near impossible to put down. I love science fiction when it is written like this!

Regency Love: Reflections of a Young Lady by TL Clark is a new type of historical romance for me. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I really loved the setting and point of view. I love reading a story where the thoughts are expressed and Lady Anne’s realistic expectations kept me grounded. I really struggled to put the book down, I definitely had those moments where I had to put my kindle down and breath and they jump back.

Tails Always Wins by C.A King was a thrilling new read. I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. I love a good paranormal dystopia-ish book. I loved the multiple point of views and the characters were hard to leave. Brodie is a great guy who has had a lot of bad things happen in his life. Well the government is about to test his personality. Tails, is an interesting character that just keeps you guessing. The story was well developed and I want so much more.

The Traitor by India Kells was a super steamy read. I would give this book a five out of five stars. This is my second India Kells book and I really believe that she has a talent for writing a steamy read with a good plot twist. I enjoyed reading about Spencer and Josie. I don’t usually go for this genre but something about India’s writing really draws you in. I could not put the book down, definitely a super steamy read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This review is for Sugar and Spice by Phoebe Alexander. I have to give this book a five out of five stars. The story focuses on Jolie and Marcus. Jolie is a strong independent woman that is used to being in control. Her life requires her to be in control and running into Marcus tests that. Marcus has his own motives but when he runs into Jolie his path is questioned. I had a hard time putting this book down it was so detailed and I just felt drawn to these two characters. I feel the need to read more books by Phoebe Alexander.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shattered by Via Mari was a steamy quick read. I would give this book a five out of five. A brief warning, it does reference a different series but it is separate from it. I was a little confused at parts but as I continued to read the past made sense. This is a steamy read and surprisingly wholesome. I know it sounds contradictory but without going into too many details there is a sense of honor. I loved Jenny’s character she is strong, but vulnerable. Not a cry baby, has very distinct wants and knows how to ask for them. Brian from the outside is your standard billionaire bad boy but as the story continues, you start to get the bigger picture about him.

Love Me, Dreamy by Laura Burton was a different type of fantasy read. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I felt really lost at why Amelia seemed so confused all the time. I could relate to her personality, very proper and organized in life. I felt confused right along with her and could not wait to get more information. I really loved Toby’s character. Amelia’s description made him sound like a breath of fresh air to her everyday life. The adventure they started was thrilling and I enjoyed the suspense.

A Divided Mind by Mary Billiter was a really emotional read. I would give this book four out of five stars. Branson is your all american boy that hears voices. Only his self awareness and communication with his mom gets the ball rolling on dealing with the voices. This book really pulled at my heartstrings, as a mom of a young boy I could not imagine going through this scenario. Tara’s strength and determination to deal with what live as dealt her was admirable.

Unchained Memory by Donna S. Frelick was a thrilling science fiction read. I would give this book a five out of five. I was hooked from the first chapter. Asia is a strong character that I just loved reading about. She was a fighter and you could see it through the trauma she dealt with. Ethan was a crushing read, I had so much empathy for his character. I could barely put this book down, I enjoyed the story building and while a long read it was well worth the story.

Ruin: The El Diablo Chronicles by Autumn Sand is not for the faint of heart. I would give this book a five out of five stars. It kept me gripped till the end. The subject matter was really deep and the characters just ate at me. Tallie is a beautiful confident women with a secret that you are just not ready for. Raymond was a good read not what you would expect and that really made this book worth while. It does switch points of view but that really just adds to the story. I would definitely give this book a reread.

Proper Impulse was a super cute quick read. I would give this read a four out of five stars. Milo and Juniper are polar opposites but both take their goals seriously. Juniper is a fun lively character and wants to help her community whatever the cost. Milo is a cop with a duty to serve and protect. I loved the chemistry and mental gymnastics that both characters took when trying to understand each other. The ending was well worth the read!

The Debt Collector by India Kells is a steamy fast paced read. I would give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. This steamy read takes flight after Tessa makes a decision that changes her life. She is dedicated doctor and a one off meeting with a girl in the slave trade who she wants to save changes her life forever. She is kidnapped and leased to The Debt Collector. Locke is known as the Debt Collector and he has taken her debt. There are plenty of scenes to make you blush but you will keep reading to see how this story ends.

Everyday Enchantments: Musings on Ordinary Magic and Daily Conjuring’s by Maria DeBlassie was a unique read. I would give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I do not normally read non fiction but this was a refreshing read. I enjoyed getting a look into the authors mind and so many of the short stories felt right at home with me. I felt a sense of calm wash over me when I started reading. It made me want to focus on myself and my internal thoughts versus just running through the everyday tasks of life.

Proper Ink by Zeia Jameson was a quick romance. I would give this read a 5 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed the pace of this book and the backstory was filled in beautifully. Luca was a fantastic read and I was impressed with the detail from a male pov. I loved the emotions and character building. Kerry was nice to read about as well. I would love to read something from her pov versus two people now describing her. This is the second book in the Jaded Lily series, I would not recommend it without reading the first book but you could.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Orion’s Kiss by Claire Luana was a fun quick mythological read. I would read this book 5 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed reading Meriah’s point of view, the descriptions and flashbacks are really well written. Meriah has an idea on how to end the curse, it ends up backfiring in a way she did not expect. There may be a way to stop reliving the horrible curse, it just involves more people and a point of view she did not have before.

Anything that could go wrong did go wrong for Aiko and Alejandro. Aiko slowly reveals her past and I could not stop my mind from trying to connect dots. I kept my fingers crossed for Alejandro the whole time!

Michael’s Heart by Lori Harrington was a great emotional read. I would give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I loved the character development and the theme that played a huge part throughout the story. I felt Colbie’s love and her challenges really resonated with my core. I loved the message of love and how powerful our craft, in Colbie’s case music, can be in making sure we are living our best life. The pace was very mellow and the story told thoroughly. While my impatient nature would have loved to rush through everything. I believe that Lori did exactly what these characters needed to be fully developed.

Proper Irish (Jaded Lily #1)Proper Irish by Zeia Jameson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Proper Irish by Zeia Jameson is a great quick read! This book is a total 5 out of 5 stars. I wish I had read this lying on the beach! You jump right into Stella’s life as an event planner and immediately find out that she is good at her job and has great intentions. She is kind and has proper manners, at least until Padraig comes into her life. Her fire shines and her confidence soars during her interactions with him. Padraig’s character comes of super standoffish and intimidating but something keeps pulling Stella back. I really enjoyed the flow of this book, it took me on a journey of a brief period of time in Stella’s life. I loved that the history and descriptions were brief but efficient enough to build a world. I loved Padraig’s character, the development and confidence was a breath of fresh air. He looks like your typical alpha but has a depth to him that is unexpected.
