My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Getting the Goods By Elizabeth Perry. This book is in my top five reads of this year for sure! I knew I was in for a good time when I read the blurb but it’s was even better than expected! I was completely hooked from page one and read it in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down. The characters have a connection that jumps off the pages. I loved their banter back and forth. There were times when I didn’t think I’d stop laughing. Each character was my favorite, I honestly couldn’t pick just one. The author does a wonderful job of writing characters that you can relate to and love. It’s well written and paced nicely. The storyline is a fresh and funny take on a romance story. I can’t wait to read more from this author. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone.

By: Nikki Broadwell
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell was a fast moving, wicketly original read that had me so hooked that I had this read in one sitting, and may have… may have caused me to be sort of late for work….

Not my first read by this author so I knew I was in for something different. Right out of the gate this book captured me and kept me on edge. There wasn’t any time to think, you could feel our MC’s desperation and the need to get as far away as she could. That level of emotional writing is a talent in it’s own, and one that makes this story shine.

There is so much I can say, pick apart and simply gush about. But this is also the type of story that if I give you one hint, one clue, one layer, then it will ruin the allure and may spoil the complex fast moving plot. No worries I’m not going to completely leave you in the dark. I will tell you that this story is sharp, richly detailed, intense, emotional and good. It’s so good that finding the right words to convince you, will take the whole dictionary just to convey what I’m feeling. Book hangover isn’t the word right now.

So please, please, take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you need this book in your life. So much so that you don’t even know how much. This read will capture you, it will hold you and it will make you question reality.

Happy Reading

Killmore By Martha Sweeney. This story trapped me like a spider does a fly and I devoured it just the same! From page one I was completely drawn in. This book is one that keeps you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages as fast as possible so you get to see what happens next. All while you hope it never ends because it’s just that good. I’m quickly becoming a fan of this author, she knows how to draw readers into a story they won’t soon forget. The attention to details is amazing and truly has the story coming alive before your eyes. I’m so excited to read the next book and see where the author takes readers next. I’m giving this book a five star review but I wish I could give it more! Do yourself a favor and read this book!

The First Backwards ChristmasThe First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and I absolutely loved it. I love a good Christmas book but this author exceeded all my expectations. This book may be small but is has everything you look for in a story. I was hooked on the very first page and I could not stop. I devoured this book in only a couple of hours.

Jack Furst loves his town. He loves the people and the sights. Jack also has a beautiful woman in his life Joyce. When he finds out that his town might be in trouble it breaks his heart. Jack wants to save his small town but how? He is shocked when Joyce tells him that her boss tell her she needs to move to a more popular town for work. Jack knows he needs to come up with something to save his town and then it came to him an upside down Christmas. Will jack and Joyce be able to save their town or will it be too late?

I absolutely loved this book. It will bring you into the Christmas spirit. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Joyce a very strong woman. She loves Jack but she is afraid her job is going to make her leave him. Jack loves his town and he doesn’t want to see it empty. He loves Joyce and he will do anything to make her smile. This talented author will make you laugh and make you feel all warm inside. I can’t wait to see what she will write for us next.

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future By Nikki Broadwell. This story had me on what can only be described as an emotional roller coaster ride. This author writes in a way that readers feel every single emotion written into this story soul deep. I’m a huge fan of stories about people who have pasts they have survived from. Collie is one of my favorite characters I’ve gotten to read about, life kicks her down but she just keeps getting back up again. There’s a bit of mystery in this story that kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages faster. You go on a journey with Collie and it’s an incredible one. I love the writing style and the characters are complex and relatable. It’s paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone.

Once Upon a Romance (A Dream Come True, #1)Once Upon a Romance
By: Alex Bailey
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Once Upon a Romance (A Dream Come True Book 1) was a light hearted, sweet read, that gets you in the holiday feels.

My first read by this author, I was caught by the shiny christmas hallmark like read. I was sucked in right away and, even though I knew how this story was going to go, I loved every cheesy minute of it.

I liked the relationship between Sophie and Ariel, it was more then just aunt and niece. Sophie is mothering and puts Ariel first, even if her boyfriend doesn’t get it. She was a great character and I won’t hold her hate of Disneyland against her.. too much. Ariel is a sweet, smart kid, but I will say that some of the things she was saying, seems a little to, advance for her age. I do get that some kids are more advance, I just wasn’t getting that feeling from Ariel, so her speech patterns and dialogue weren’t matching. Other than that she was a great child character and really added that extra magical layer to this fairy tail like read.

As for the actual story, it’s a sweet romance, and with the magicalness of the setting it has all the things I love about these type of good feel books. Sweet tender romance, heart gripping feels, beautiful setting, attention to detail and, a sweet hot man, that is too good to be true but, you can’t help but root for. Even if his love interest is already taken.

Overall I can’t stress enough how good and just, awesome this book is. It will put you in the holiday mood while making you want to go to Disneyland in the same breath. This book is a super high recommendation from me and, it gets my cheesy, Christmas movie stamp of approval.

Happy Reading.

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 (Guilty Pleasures) by Joyce McCarthy – Review by Emily Walsh

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2Guilty Pleasures Volume 2
By: Joyce McCarthy
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 by Joyce McCarthy was a okay, quick and dirty, late night read.

My first read by this author and for this series. It’s a quick read, coming in at only 48 pages, it’s stuffed full of fantasy like situation sand it has a little bit of that cheesy porn feel that you’d get on a www.maturesexmovies.xxx video or something.

As I said this is that late night read when you want to.. you know .. wink.. wink.. There isn’t much character development, each story is quick and to the point. But it’s a fun enjoyable read all the same. Since it is so short, I don’t want to give anything away, but I will say that some of a situations were a little, school boy fantasy like. MILF, teacher.. so on. I would like to have known what Brad actually looked like. There isn’t much of a physical description, so that made the fantasy that this book is, a little incomplete.

Overall this book wasn’t bad, could have use more depthed, not only in the MC, but for situations as well. I do recommend you give this little hot wonder a try, its got some good smut scenes and as i said, it’ll get you a little hot and bothered.

Happy Reading

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the futureBurning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Burning Night by Nikki Broadwell is a story of fiction but in reality could very well be truth on some levels. This is a great story and I would recommend reading it. The characters are fully developed and can easily be a friend, neighbor, or yourself on some level. This story is about an abusive relationship. If you are like me, I found it difficult at times due to the fact it reminded me so much of what has been within my social/family circle. One thing I really enjoyed with Nikki Broadwell is that she did not let the abuse ruin Collie’s life. She decided to make Collie a force to be dealt with and not a victim in the corner. Collie is on journey of self-discovery. She will have to decide how to proceed with her life. This story does have its ups and downs, twists and turns, and full of emotions. You will have to read if Collie can get past her demons. I cannot wait to read more books from Nikki Broadwell.

Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is my first book by this author and she has got herself a new fan. This book was a quick read that will have you holding your side from the laughing pains till the end. “Steal the sperm” may have got me to read this book but it was laughing at loud writing that won me over. Poor Gabriella sure knows how to make a first impression and a second one too. But it was her no filter – says anything attitude that had me loving her character.

Don’t take my word for how funny sweet and sexy this book is; I highly recommend you pick up this book for yourself and find out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Killmore by Martha Sweeney, Killmore book 1

5 stars

This was an interesting novel. The author really catches your attention with the opening chapters. I loved following Laurie after she goes into Witness protection. The relationship that develops between her and Aiden as the story progresses was entertaining, sweet, and funny. I loved his personality and his character. It was easy to get lost in the banter back and forth between him and Laurie. Her character was my favorite. She was very strong and independent. She demonstrated that she was able to take care of herself and be prepared for the worst. I hate that she had to go through so much in the beginning with her ex-husband. I loved the small family she built for herself though. I was surprised with the way the ending went. I did not expect what happened. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Felicity Found (Rogue Series Book 6)
By Lara Ward Cosio
Rated 5 stars!!

Another amazing heartfelt story by Lara Ward Cosio! I absolutely loved it! This book has it all! Love, lust, drama, betrayal and love. Yes I mentioned love again because these stories are full of love of spouse, friend and family. It astounds me how drawn I get to the story that I get irritated when I have to leave the book and….oh you know…live life. So I tend to power through as fast as I can to avoid interruptions. This leads to late night or all night reading or sneaking off just to finish this book.

It’s not until I open one of these books that I realize how much I miss these characters. I am easily drawn back into their lives and fervently hope and wish for things to turn out. At the time of reading book one (Tangled Up in You) and book two (Playing at Love) of the series I was thinking GAH too much information but now I realize how those books really made me a part of their lives. I am easily able to understand and know how, why and what these characters are talking about or feeling….like they are my family.

Although Conor really put me through the ringer in this book. One minute I was pleased with him then the next frustration beyond belief! His flirting and fantasies (Grr!) but then he also has concern of his wife and love of his family. The struggle that Felicity and Conor have is real. Each had their own issues and I could relate to many things brought up in the book.

I have always loved the bond that Gavin and Conor have. It has been tested and tried through the years but has always weathered the storm. But to see them in the park in this book?? These two guys…….bring tears to my eyes they have come so far. I am so glad they were friends from way back and cultivated their friendship to being so unbreakable. Wonderful job on these two!

This is an outstanding addition to the series. It’s great to see how all the characters have grown and improved through the series. This is a favorite series of mine. So thank you to the author for bringing this crew into my life.

An Agreement ( Summer in New York #3) by Lindsay Marie Miller. I have read many books by this author and I have enjoyed them all!! This installment of the Summer in New York Series was no different. This can be read as a stand-alone but i recommend reading the previous books, mainly because they are great!!!
This book was a sexy and sweet read. I absolutely loved how the characters from past books are intertwined into the book. The chemistry and romance between Carter and Bailey is amazing. Bailey wants more but Carter, she thinks has put her in the friend-zone. While what Cater really wants is Bailey, he just thinks he is too damaged for her. I am so looking forward to more books from this author and this series!!!

Killmore (Killmore #1)Killmore by Martha Sweeney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Killmore is the first book of the Killmore series.

I love that this story has a strong female character who doesn’t lose her edge. The premise of the story is excellent as is the overall story line. The only thing that might be a sticking point for some people is that it slows down a bit toward the middle of the book with most of the action happening at the beginning and well toward the end. That being said, the characters are well-written so that helps. I love the snarky and suggestive humor, it helps keep the book from getting overly dark.

I am looking forward to reading the next part of the story in the second book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nathaniel (Dragon Hearts Series) by Carole Mortimer
4 Stars

This is a paranormal story about dragons of myth and legend. I love dragons so any story involving them, I am inclined to read. I found this story very interesting. The legend of King Arthur was integrated in the book but the author did a good job keeping it as a back story and didn’t let it overtake the story. The book stayed centred on the dragon shifters, Nathaniel in particular.

Nathaniel and his brothers have been around for hundreds of years searching for their mates. Nathaniel has all but given up hope until he crosses paths with a smart mouthed, head strong journalist. His dragon is roaring and demands that he claim her. Chloe is vacationing in Wales when she comes across Pendragon Castle. A castle that isn’t on any map yet has existed for as long as anyone can remember. She instinctively knows there is a story there and knows she needs to investigate. Her life changes as she’s held captive in this exciting adventure.

The book is not long so the author had to pack a lot of information in this book. Though I would have liked a little more depth in the characters, I did like them. Chloe is quirky and doesn’t know when to shut her mouth. Nathaniel, though an alpha male, tries to do right by Chloe and treats her with respect. The story was fun to read and the author did a good job laying the foundation for the rest of the series. I’m looking forward to reading about the rest of the brothers.

Killmore (Killmore #1)Killmore by Martha Sweeney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Killmore starts off with a BANG of action. Then it lets you get comfortable for awhile. It’s hard to get a read on Laurie, I don’t know how I totally feel about her and still feel like she has secrets. She definitely has a tough outer shell to crack but cares deeply for those in her inner circle. Aiden, Paul, who can you trust? They both seem genuine and Aiden kind of wears his heart on his sleeve, but I still have a lot of questions. I feel like Dr. Codie wasn’t a fully resolved issue, maybe all these things are cleared up in book two. I’d call this a happy for now ending, with enough suspense, intrigue, and puzzle to keep me on the hook.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Burning Night was a unique story, I really enjoyed a lot of the moments you can’t explain, the events people won’t believe. There were mystical forces at play, more along the lines of spiritual happenings. That part was crazy interesting. I felt like Collie had courage to leave her husband and push forward on this adventure. I did have a bit of trouble connecting with the characters and they all had actions I didn’t totally agree with or understand. Not sure if that is just more realistic, but even Collie, I wanted to shake sometimes. She’s been through a lot in her life, though. All in all, it was an interesting story.

The Changeup (Resort Romance #6)The Changeup by Mary Billiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Changeup by Mary Billiter is the sixth book in the Resort Romance Series. Though it is the sixth book, it can be read as a standalone. The Changeup is a whodunit mystery with romance thrown in for good measure. This is a story about a woman who trying to hide from her past and a baseball pitcher who is planning his future. Will there two worlds collide? Can it work out for the two of them?

The Changeup is another great book in the series, you will not be disappointed. I recommend reading the series because they are all so good. The twists and turns keeps you engaged, because you never know what will happen next. The characters are very believable and well developed. The secondary characters are just as good as the main ones. Looking forward to reading what comes next in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Changeup (A Resort Romance Novel Book 6) by Mary Billiter is another ​great read. Mary has done a fantastic job with this story and I fell in love with the characters from the very first page of the first book. ​The story is told from a duel POV which gives the story much more depth and perspective. I found myself laughing at the antics of the characters as they try to get to the bottom of who did it. ​It is a murder mystery, romance story and this is one of my favourites in this series.

Rebel is in witness protection so the last thing she needs is a murder, but to find out who did it, she finds a lot more than she bargained for.

Ryan wants nothing more than to be blue blood and is training to be a deputy sheriff but what he stumbles across in an alley is more than he ever imagined and may just place the one thing he wants most in the world in jeopardy.

There are secrets and mysteries, lies and loss that will keep you glued to each and every page.

An Agreement (Summer in New York Book 3) by Lindsay Marie Miller ​is a sweet contemporary romance story. ​Lindsay has done a fantastic job and I fell in love with the characters from the very first page of the first book. ​The story is told from a duel POV which gives the story much more depth and perspective in to who the characters are. It is a heartwarming and beautiful story that is also sad and compelling. There is so much pain and suffering, secrets and loss that will keep you glued to each and every page. The raw emotions in this captivating story broke my heart at times and I could not stop the tears.   Bailey just wants to be loved, to find that one person she is supposed to be with the rest of your life but building her business never left much room for men. So desperate times call for desperate measures and what she finds is much more than she bargained for.

Carter has been living with his own demons but when a beautiful mix up comes into his life he doesn’t know what he should do.

I am looking forward to what comes next.

4 Stars!!!!

Once again going out of my genre choice and I must admit that I was quite drawn in. There is so much that drew me in. The author does such an amazing job of creating the world in which her characters live. I like how the book is written in first person view point. The use of the past as well to help put the story together is just so refreshing.

I really enjoyed the fact that Laurie was doing the right thing and helping to bring down the bad guys. I found that although the story line was a bit drawn out that it still had the desired affect that I was pulled in and couldn’t put the book down. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Aiden and Laurie was a leading factor that kept me glued to the pages of this book. I don’t often enjoy cartel or mafia based books but I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I found that the author was able to be create the sexual tension between the two main characters as well as wrap the drama around them. I do like mysteries and case solving and I found that the author really put good use of this in the story. I very much look forward to reading more from this author as well as this series.

The story Guilty Pleasures Volume 2: Guilty Pleasures by Joyce McCarthy is a book that has some short erotic stories that are written to make the temperature in the room rise. They center around the characters and the steamy encounters that they have. There is lust, dirty talking, teasing, and red-hot scenes. While the stories are short and quick they don’t lack in the details of what these characters are there for. This is an author who knows how to write scenes that will have you reaching for a glass of cold water. I found myself intrigued by the characters and wanted to know more about them.

Degrees of Control is the third book in Via Mari’s Prestian series. Do not start with this book, you need to read the books in the order as then you really get the story, the journey … I truly think that the series gets better and better with each book … the writer’s attention to detail becomes clearer and clearer and you feel as if you are co-existing with Kate and Chase, right there … next to them! There are so many twists and turns … one moment you are slowly floating along, enjoying the ride and then suddenly you are at the edge of your seat, almost falling off!
Degrees of Control picks up after Kate has rejected Chase’s proposal for marriage. She struggles with trust and at times with what is right and what is wrong and she is so strong and at times I wish that we could also see another side of hers … on the other hand, I can so totally relate to it as when we are in control then at the end of the day there is no one else we can blame …
There are some twists here that you do not see coming so it is really good that there is at least one more book for us to enjoy the journey and I am wondering, what lesson does Kate have left to learn …

An Agreement (Summer in New York, #3)An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller this is the third book in this great series, this book offers the romance that we have come to love from Lindsay Marie Miller. The characters have such chemistry and the flow of the story was just great.

Bailey is a old romantic at heart and is looking for the right man to come along and sweep her off her feet, but she has been working hard to get her fashion boutique up and running so she has little romance in her life especially meeting eligible suitors. So as she is with her brother he convinces her the best way she will meet someone is to go online.

So as she goes on the first date it ends up with her having a misunderstanding and turning into a interesting date in the end. Carter is not looking for love but when he has a interaction with Bailey he can’t get her out of his head. So as the story goes you get to see the romance blossom between these two great characters.

Although this book can be read as a stand alone there is some cross over with the other two books in this great series but hey they are brilliant so I recommend you read them anyway. The book is fast paced and is well written and is a great third instalment in this series.

Burning Night: where the ashes of the past awaken the future by Nikki Broadwell. This is a contemporary romance with a little mystical powers thrown in. Its the story of Columbine ( Collie) who flees her abusive husband after years of unhappiness and abuse. Never able to have children she flees her very unhappy life. Her best friend Mary helps her leave by giving her a trailer and truck so she sets off landing in a small town on the way to Alaska. When her money is stolen she is forced to work in the only way she knows how, exotic dancing. She does quite well being 40 and makes all of her money back in a short time. She also meets a good looking, hunk of a man named Tim who she finally opens up to. During this time she has memories resurface that she never knew and she doesn’t know how to deal with them. Trying to make it to Alaska for the “Burning Night” celebration she has to decide if she can trust Tim and if she can settle down. Collie has to decide if her dreams are worth losing everything for or if she can actually find other dreams. This is a great book, quick read with lots of romance and a little mystery.

Felicity Found (Rogue Series Book 6)Felicity Found by Lara Ward Cosio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Felicity Found by Lara Ward Cosio is the sixth installment in her Rogue Series, which is one of the best rock star romance series that I have read in quite a while. Continuing the story of Conor and Felicity, who we first meet in book 2 – Playing at Love – this book really gets allot deeper and grittier than I would have ever imagined. These stories are not for the faint of heart, but for those who can look at the dark sides of relationships and still fall in love with the broken characters for who they truly are. I highly recommend reading the Rogue series in order, not only for the back story and getting to see each couple come together in their own unique voices but because the fullness of the story is that much better to read. I can’t wait to see what Cosio brings to her readers next, but I will definitely be first in line for whatever she does.

Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Getting the GoodsGetting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Getting the Goods by Elizabeth Perry is a quirky and satisfying tale that was shamelessly brilliant. It has so much on offer. Hilarity? Check. Elegant disorganisation? Check. Heart rate elevating passion? Check. Spine tingling, toe curling sesuality? Check. Battles? Check. Making up? Check. Perfection? Check, check and check!!! I loved these characters, adored how the story presented, loved the tenacious spirit of the leading lady, and swooned every time the leading man was mentioned.

I cannot remember the last time i was that invested in a romantic comedy. I didn’t know what was going on around me. I was totally under the spell of this wonderfully entertaining cast. Elizabeth Perry is an author I will be getting to know better as soon as I can. It was a hoot being able to rendezvous with this colourful collection of personalities. 5 stars.
