This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to the end. This story took me on on a roller coaster of emotions from laughter to feeling compassion. I enjoyed the way this story is told in the pov of Frank and how he told it. I love the characters and their chemistry in this book. They are strong, creative, sassy and of course I can’t forget the steamy parts! The plot was fun and easy flowing, I read this in one sitting. I highly recommend reading this book!

Greg Mallory isn’t the kind of man to wallow just because he was left at the altar. Not when there are plenty of women to help him forget his heartbreak. But as the only Mallory son, he has an obligation to carry on the family name. When Greg’s runaway bride returns, his head tells him to keep his distance, but his body and his heart are both begging for a second chance.
Faith Copeland bolted out of Darling Cove with a shameful secret and stayed away for ten years thinking Greg Mallory would never forgive her. Coming home means facing her past and Greg. She just didn’t think he still had the power to make her melt after all this time.
One moment alone proves their attraction is stronger than ever. Are they brave enough to start fresh? Or will past secrets destroy their second chance at happy-ever-after once and for all?
Must Have Faith is the second book in the Darling Cove Series by Deborah Garland. Must Have Faith is second chance romance. I am in love with this series. The characters, backstories and growth was amazing. In my opinion Must Have Faith is my favorite one from this author. I think it may have been because this wasn’t just about two people that were childhood friends reconnecting, or strangers meeting.

Escape into the exciting world of fashion where Andrew Morgan, a former male model turned brand manager meets his match in Gwendolyn Mallory, a beautiful small town public relations specialist he doesn’t think he needs.
She was hired to turn the fashion world upside down…not his.
Go behind the scenes as Gwen sets out to prove she has what it takes to promote a prestigious brand like Prada. Andrew is already struggling to accept his PR responsibilities have been taken away from him, but the intense attraction he has for Gwen is just plain getting in the way of rational thinking—sleeping with a co-worker has always been on his to-don’t list. But Gwen challenges everything Andrew believes about love and relationships as he puts aside his heartbreaking past to have the woman he never knew he needed.
Follow the sparkling fuse slowly burning with sexual tension as Gwen brings to life a sexy devil…who just happens to wear Prada.
This is the first book by Deborah Garland that I have read, and I love how the author put the plot together. The chemistry between Gwen and Andrew was instantly. As Must Love Fashion unfolds you are able to follow their emotions and thoughts as the relationship progresses. This is the first book in the series and I look forward to reading the next ones.

Brilliant story! I loved that the book was told from Frank’s POV it made it really different to read. There were some great moments in this story and the two main characters Frank and Mikey definitely made it for me. I loved how I was crying with laughter one minute and then crying with emotion the next. The author kept me engaged the whole way through and I never wanted it to end. When I first read the blurb I already had an idea in my mind what Frank would be like but I think because of how the author decided to write this story I really understood him more. I loved the banter between the two of them and there was definitely a lot of sexual chemistry and tension between them! This is the second book that I have read by this author that I have loved and I cannot wait to read more from her again in the future. I highly recommend F*cking Frank – it is a fantastic read with brilliant characters and plenty of laugh out loud moments!

I love this series! In this book we get to see more of “Little One” and her life as a mob princess. Her whole life she has been raised to take over the family business and protecting your own. What will happen when a enemy goes after her family and she is forced to be the person she doesn’t want to be? I love her character. She is strong, feisty but is stuck in position she never asked for. I loved her growth so far in this book. A must read and I can’t wait for the third part of her story!

Calling the Curveball: a Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
5++++ Stars
Ok so I totally LOVED this book…The storyline was AWESOME, the characters were believable and lovable and I want to be part of their friends and family. So now that I got that out of the way let me tell you about how this book made me feel…I cried more than once and some of that crying wasn’t at all pretty, I laughed more than once and caught myself saying Awwwww out loud more than once. I also a few times got totally frustrated and angry. So it’s safe to say this book, for me anyway had All the feels.
This was my first book by this author and I’m not even playing when I say it absolutely will not be my last. She grabbed me literally on page 1 and it was about 2% in that I had my first ugly cry… Jamie and Kira were both broken because of circumstances in their pasts and Jamie had given up his dreams feeling like he didn’t deserve them anymore. This was part of the book that was heartbreaking and made me love Kira that much more. I LOVE how they met and loved even more her boldness to pretty much walk right up to him and ask him out.
Everything in this story worked for me, I could not stop reading it till I was finished and it worked really well with text to speech thankfully since I had some real life things I had to do while reading…and now I come away with needing so much more and will be tearing up her pages trying to find out when I can read more about everyone in this book, and I love finding new authors I can stalk, or I mean follow so this whole book was a complete win win for me.

My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel (My Life Series Book 1) by Necie Navone is one great start to the series that you don’t want to miss. Necie has a way with her words that ensure you are engrossed in not only the story but you are thoroughly invested in the characters. Being the Princess of the Family is not all it is cracked up to be. Being raised to one day take over a mans world from the day you were born means you see and hear things you would never see in a million years.The story is told in multiple POV’s enriching the story so much more. There is so much drama and action, murder and mayhem as one Family fights another in this cut throat world. Read as one little girl learns what life is like in a world full of violence but also love.

I’m F*cking Frank (yeah there’s an asterisk, worked for that kids book, didn’t it?) and this book is about me and Mikey. You’d probably rather be in Mikey’s head since she’s not as much of an asshole, but unfortunately, the author finds me more interesting.
Mikey and I were literally separated at birth, and when we get back together, it’s pretty great. She could do way better, but who am I to set her standards? I make music, she makes wine. Together we mostly argue and f*ck (jeez, even here an asterisk?), so you know, we’re perfect for each other. At least I think we are, she wants to keep it casual and like a jerk I fell in love.
She and I f*ck a lot, hopefully it’s enough for you pervs. I mean, Myself? I like a good paranormal with maybe two or three powerful demigods or shifters going at it, but you do you. Where was I? Yeah, so buy this book if you like my abs and that vee thing Mikey swoons over. You could get the ebook version or you could buy the paperback and show my abs off like nature intended.
“Hey Carol, what are you reading?” I ask.
“Um, War and Peace,” you say and I know you are lying your face off, Carol. You like romance, own that shit!
So go ahead, buy this book, read it in three hours, and move on to the next one that will be undervalued by snobs with no joy in their life.

Must Love Fashion is the first book in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. This contemporary romance had me hooked from the very first page. The story flowed so well, I just couldn’t put it down until I read the last page. Gwen and Andrew are both strong characters. I love the backdrop of the fashion industry, and the way the author brings New York City, LA and Milan to life. It made me feel like I was right there with them. Gwen had to make a change in her life, so she applied for a job at Prada and became the PR project manager, which entailed working with Andrew. As they learn to work together, the chemistry they have begins to grow, but the both try to ignore it. This book had me laughing at times and hoping the these two would find a way to trust their hearts. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next book in the series.

5 Star Silk Road : Code Raven 6 by Lynda Filler is the sixth book in The Code Raven series and can be read as a standalone. If you haven’t read the other books you won’t be confused about whose who because there is a list and description of the characters in the very beginning of this book. This series has been some of my favorite reads. I was super excited about this book. This has a bit of everything from action, mystery to suspense and mystery. I dove right in and was hooked from the beginning till the last page.At times I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. I definitely recommend reading this book and can’t wait to read more from this Author.
5 Star Do Not Open Until Halloween By C.A.King is a YA fantasy book. I’m going to be honest and say I wasn’t sure about this book,until I started reading and I was hooked from the beginning till the end.

But what happens when she’s asked out on a date with Justin?She’d already promised her aunt she would house sit.Caitlin handles both situations in a way that has her now dealing with a fairy whom wasn’t invited. She must find her belief in magic in or for the fairy to be saved. I highly recommend this book,and I look forward to reading more from this Author. @ddaugh35

King – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
Neverland is a dark 5 star read. This is a dark read about obsession and could have triggers for some. I highly suggest you take the authors warning into consideration before reading.
We jump from then and now to get the history on how Lucy meets Dominic the first time. Lucy is now working as a dancer in a club and not by choice. Her best friend is getting out and wants her to come with her, but she can’t and she can’t tell her why. To them, I was the girl with a big red target on my back. And they weren’t wrong.
Dominic was a monster of the worst kind. The things he would do were heartbreaking and hard to read at times. He was obsessed with Lucy and controlled everything about her.
This is between you and me An obsession, a hate, a jealousy. What you give, I so desire. Watch out for me, I’ll set your soul on fire. – Dominic
Romeo was a god send for Lucy growing up, he was always there for her and tried to protect her the best he could. Until the day she disappeared.
I’m still shaken from reading this book, there are so many scenes that had me in tears and my heart breaking for Lucy. The secondary characters added a great element to the story, some I hated and some I loved. The ending left me with a little bit of shock. Melissa Jane does a great job with her writing and I was pulled in right from the beginning. This book is definitely going on my must read for 2018.

This boxed set contains the first three books in the Romance in Rehoboth series, which are Fat Girl, The Flip, and Plot Twist. Each book is a standalone, but we do get to see our favorite couples throughout the series. The books are written from both the leading male and female point of view. I absolutely loved these stories/series. These books contain romance, humor, and very relatable characters. The characters, both male and female, struggle in some fashion. They are not perfect, but they are trying. I think that is one of the many reasons why I truly enjoyed these stories. Another reason is K.L. Montgomery’s humor, which shines through in the stories. I particularly loved everything that happened in The Flip!

Our Unexpected Hope was a great 5 star read. This follows “Our Next Chapter” which is the story of Quinn’s parents. I was so excited to get my hands on this book and I was pulled right in.
Quinn has always wanted what her parents had, seeing how happy they were once they reconnected made her hope for the same thing one day.
While doing her first photo shoot she meets Noah, he is the head chef at the restaurant the shoot is at. She doesn’t realize it but it’s not the first time Noah has seen her. Noah was mesmerized by her when he saw her having dinner at the restaurant and knew he had to meet her. Being in a relationship has always been far from his mind due to his past, until now.
Tonight is the night that will change my life forever because it’s the night I fell in love with an angel – Noah
I loved this book, we see these two go through different things in their relationship. They share a lot of firsts and have some hurdles as well. I had several emotional moments and LOL moments, I loved the things Quinn would say to freak her father out. These two have such a great connection. Michelle Sullivan does a great job with her writing, you feel everything that the characters do and so much more. If you’re looking for a great read with wonderful characters this is a read for you. I suggest reading “Our Next Chapter” first however this can be read as a standalone.
Neverland by Melissa Jane is one of those books that leave you with a book hangover long after you finish reading it. I can’t believe all of the emotions I went through while reading this book, I’m heartbroken, with the life Lucy was dealt, but completely blown away by the strength that was packed into this strong female. I’m not sure what else to say about this book without giving away any that makes this book so significant. I will say that you should pay attention to the warning that comes with it, because it definitely could cause triggers. This is the first book I have read by this author, but I look forward to reading more from Melissa Jane in the future. This is one of best and saddest books I have read this year.

Do Not Open Until Halloween by C.A. King is a short, fun read. The story is about Caitlin who is asked to housesit for her Aunt. Little does Caitlin know that life will be getting more interesting very quickly. Like other books by C. A. King this is a good, imaginative read. I read this in one sitting and was glad to get to read this story. The characters are good and interesting, while the story is a mix of sci-fi and fantasy. I look forward to reading much more from this author in the future. I always enjoy the stories.

Neverland By Melissa Jane. This book was AMAZING! I can’t even tell you….it blew me away. I read it in one sitting because once you start you can’t stop! Its the tragic story of Lucy Sommers who lives a life of pure hell. The only person keeping her sane is her one true friend Romeo. One day Lucy is taken away from Romeo and doesn’t think she will ever see him again. But she does see someone from her past again and he promises to take care of her and keep her safe. Anton is a horrible, vile person. He keeps her safe only so he can belittle and torture her. Keeping her under his thumb is one of his joys in life. After she has witnessed and endured horrible, unspeakable things she finds her true love again. Will they live happily ever after or will Anton stay after them until the very end. This is one of those books that you can’t get out of your head. Its so good and so sad that there is probably a lot of truth to it. I loved this book and hope to read more from this author.

Must Love Fashion by Deborah Garland is the first book in the Darling Cove series. The story is about Gwen Mallory and Andrew Morgan. The two meet while working at Prada and must learn how to work together. At first, Andrew does not want Gwen invading his area and work but gradually comes to realize life is not the same with Gwen there. This is a sweet story of trust and finding love. If you like the fashion industry and want a story that has challenges but eventually a HEA this is a great story for you. The writing is well done as well as the character development. I look forward to reading more in this series in the future.
Credence Woods by Alexandria Sure. This is the story of Kennedy Hewson a very successful business woman in Chicago. She’s had weight loss surgery and has done amazing losing weight. She feels better than she’s ever felt and she looks better than ever so why does she still feel like the fat girl in the room. With the help of her assistant Hank and her girlfriends Reva, Diana & Frances, Kennedy might be able to feel like the beautiful woman she is. After losing weight she took a strip dance class and the girls insisted she was so good she should do it at a real club. Getting up the nerve while out of town on business she finds the Fuzzy Hole and does her routine to wild cheers. She even meets Max the club owner who is sexy and rude all in one, why can’t she get him out of her mind. On top of all of these crazy things her ex Linc has found out she’s doing so great and he wants back with her. Never in a million years. This book is fun and sexy and full of wild adventures. I enjoyed it so much!
I give Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4) by Phoebe Alexander, 5 stars. *This review contains spoilers from previous book in series.*
This book is about Casey Fontaine. She has been the backbone of the group of local swingers and the club they now have. But now she has cancer. She leaves Ocean City, Maryland and heads to California, where she can get help at a top hospital and stay with her sister. She has always been the black sheep of her family. Her sister was the perfect one. During her recovery time, she learns just how much family means. It also gives her time to reflect on the most interesting and best relationship of her life. But whatever became of this relationship? What will happen now?
I was so excited to see this book was going to be the next in the series. I really wanted to know more about Casey. This book definitely delivers. It is unlike any of the other books in the series, too. In my opinion, it is much darker than the rest of the books. There is a lot of sadness in the beginning of the book. This is realistic too. Happily Ever After doesn’t necessarily mean happiness all the time. It is realistic to see struggle. I really like that. Plus, it is only natural to add a relationship about two men and a woman when you talk about the swinger lifestyle. The characters you love are back, plus you meet Casey’s sister. The story is unique but very real. And hopefully it teaches us that whatever brings us happiness is the right thing for us.
I highly recommend this book to lovers of romance who aren’t afraid of reading about relationships that are steamy and a little different.

Redemption is the conclusion of Meghan O’Flynn’s Ash Park series (there will be another book but she calls it Prequel Novella so …) Oh my goodness, what a closing it is … all those questions we have had in our hear, the pain Detective Petrosky has felt, the guilt that has been drowning him, the losses he has suffered … the puzzle will be put together and revealed and you will be left stunned … You MUST read all the books leading up to this show down, you need to know the history, the people involved and their stories, you need to have lived with Detective Petrosky … (yeah, someone could say that you do not need to but do yourself a favour, don’t go off half cocked!) ALL the previous books lead up to this one! I promise you, you will be shocked, you will be wrecked, AND you have no idea how it all will end, UNTIL you get to the end (unless you are some sort of genius and mind reader and … not me …) I think this is the best writing I have seen from the writer so far, she has gotten better with every single story in the series – she has dug so deep into the puzzle that she is breathing it, with every single word she has put down on the paper … You are guaranteed a fantastic read and you will not be able to wait for Jilted (the prequel novella), I wonder where the writer will be taking us …

Credence woods written by Alexandria Sure was a good slow and savory type of read. It’s not one that pulls you in instantly, it has a slow build but there’s a lot of personal thoughts in it from Kennedy’s point of view. Her self doubts, fears, everything. It makes you stop and think about things and how you treat people along with the inner scars versus the outer. Max is a true southern gentleman throughout the story, he did have one flaw at the end and it was a big one to me. It does give you a happily ever after which is good based off of all the emotions you hit with Kennedy. I loved Hank, he added a funny and more relaxed feel to the story with his demanding ways.
SILK ROAD (Code Raven, #6) by Lynda Filler was a heart pounding, action packed page turner, that had me hooked from start to finish.
With each book I feel like it’s building up to something much greater. This one is no different, as strong as the others in this series I was once again sucked into this fast moving adventure. I couldn’t stop reading, I needed to know what was going to happen and if things would turn out the way I want them. Lynda Filler has a way of misdirecting you, and making your stress levels hit the roof.
I have to say, this series has been a joy to follow, even if it attacks my blood pressure. I will say that though these can be read as standalones, they do follow a connecting timeline and does have connecting plot elements. As with the other books, backstories are pretty much, not apart of the character development. So if you want to know more about Luke raben and his team, then you’re going to have to read the other books, that and, they are all pretty amazing.
With that said, I know I kept this vague, only because with such a fast moving plot, I didn’t want to ruin anything this story has to offer. Or ruin this exciting, heart attack involving, read. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will not be able to put this book down. It will capture you, not only your attention but, your heart and soul.
Touchdown: A Steamy Football Romance: The Big Apple Series Book 1 by Alexa Summers 4 stars
I really really wanted to love this book and for 95% of it, I did. I loved Lexi, she stayed true to herself in a mans job and earned everything she worked so hard for. Brett was a good guy if you took out the fact of his revenge plot. I just could not get over it. I didn’t find that to be a redeemable thing to do, at all. If we took that away, this book was 5 stars but it just didn’t sit as ok to me. Yes its fiction but its the point of it. I was drawn right into this story, i laughed and learned a lot too, not a sports fan at all. Will be reading more from this author as I really enjoyed her writing style and her character development.

Credence Woods is a stand-alone novel from author Alexandria Sure. This is my first read from this author and I loved every bit of this book. I was captivated and couldn’t put this read down. This author has created an amazing writing style and some brilliant characters that really influence the story and me while reading it.
This book really made its way into my heart, I loved going along with Kennedy’s journey of self-discovery and trying to overcoming her insecurities. I loved her personality, her passion – there was just something about her I felt connected with from the start and would love to have her as a friend. Max, ticked all the right boxes for me from the get-go! There was nothing I could fault about him except where could I find myself a version of him. These two connected in the most unique way – but then to be brought together again in what could have been an awful accident truly proved something was real between them. These two hit it off from the start and their connection was undeniable and was amazing to see both of the let there walls down especially Kennedy with the stories from her past and the reasons for some of their decisions.
My only issue with this read was one, I’m sure there was a time jump within the story but it wasn’t made clear – one minute it seemed like a current thing then something was mentioned about the three months spent together and it kind of jumped. I would have liked that smoother and more known to the reader. Also, the ending seemed choppy, compared to how the rest of the book was. But with that being said none of these things put me off and I loved this book anyway! It was heartwarming, emotional, lovable and just a brilliant romance read!
This book also has some amazing secondary characters that help tell the main character’s story even more – can we point out how incredible Hank is! Who wouldn’t want a friend or assistant like that?
This is a read that should be read by all. You will love these characters from the minute you meet them and stick with them through their journey until the end! Do not miss this read!

Credence Woods by Alexandria Sure is a great story about finding oneself. It’s emotional, relatable and entertaining. Kennedy’s character is one that really intrigued me as she continued to battle her darkest insecurities and tried to find herself. It took me a little while to figure out that I had previously read about Kennedy in Alexandria’s book In the Pursuit of Charity. Once I came to that realization I enjoyed her story even more than I did before! With that being said I would recommend reading In The Pursuit of Charity before starting this one in order to better understand her character.
I was so entertained by her inner ramblings as she questioned everything, however, at times I found the story hard to follow as one conversation or thought quickly jumped to another, but this didn’t take away from the overall story.
I look forward to reading more form this author in the future!

Credence Woods by Alexandria Sure is a book that I could not put down. I read this entire book very quickly because I wanted to know what would happen next. The story line keeps you entertained and the characters shock you, as they are developed throughout the book. The book is relateable and makes you feel all sorts of emotions as you walk through this story. This is a newer author for me and I am really enjoying her work. I will definitely read more by this author. I give this book 5 solid stars.
