Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After, #2)Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer by Stephanie Harrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lincoln and Harper have an unforgettable one night stand. Complete strangers with off the charts chemistry in bed. Down the line Harper finds herself pregnant and a second chance run in with Lincoln he finds out he is going to be a father. Both want the best, and of course both want each other, but they have some demons to slay to get to that happy place. As things progress they find that they are a great team in bed and out of it, and that together there is nothing that they can’t overcome.

The One Night Stand/Surprise Pregnancy trope is truly one of my favorites. You never know how things will turn out , and you always hope for the best. This story is one of those feel good stories where Lincoln and Harper came together for a reason, and it was truly meant to be.

Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship (The Perfect Pairings Series Book 1)Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship by Parker Fairchild
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Christmas Cookies on a Cruise Ship was a sweet holiday romance. One I could see being a future Lifetime or Hallmark movie.
I’ll be honest when I first started reading I got really confused. I wasn’t sure what the author was doing. It felt like a book within a book! It all worked itself out in a short time, but still threw me for a loop at first.
Olivia running as fast as she can away from family this holiday season, because her twin sister is now engaged to the man she once loved. Jace spending his time on a holiday cruise to watch and be part of the wedding of two dear friends. Little did they know what was up ahead for them.
Not in your typical idyllic Christmas setting, this book makes for an intriguing romance with the drama expected for these works of fiction!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

While I was hoping to get a different experience from this book, I did enjoy the journey this author takes the reader on. There are no actual spells or conjuring taught, which I was really hoping for, this book prepares the reader to get into the right headspace to be open to living a more magical lifestyle. I’d be open to reading more from this author, as she seems to be very knowledgeable in the subject.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really good book! At the beginning I wasn’t too sure about this one, because it seemed like the story was going really fast and was just going to lose traction and be a fluff story but I really enjoyed this novella (it did feel more like a novel to me) once I got about 25% of the way in. I enjoyed the Christmas and the Sweet (get it? Haha) theme was present in this novel. The characters were relatable and it was easy to get lost in the story. This was steamy, romantic and overall a relatable story. I was originally going to give this book 4 stars but by the time I got to the end I had tears in my eyes and couldn’t stop smiling so it’s definitely getting 5 stars from me! Thank you author for writing such a great holiday story!

This book was well written and had a decent plot but I had a hard time getting into it! Not the books fault, just me. The author has an incredible imagination and made for a well thought out story. I enjoyed how descriptive the book was without being boring and the idea was intriguing. I would definitely try more books from the author. While this book wasn’t something I could lose myself in the boom is good and I recommend giving it a shot if you like fantasy romance novels.

My heart is still smiling after finishing this book, I loved this story. The story of Thea and Ben is a perfect holiday read. Thea is an owner of a bakeshop and all business. She does not have much luck when it comes to men, that is until a handsome gentleman, Ben, walks into her bakeshop and the story just takes off from there. Ben really had my heart in this book , he was just so full of love, promise and very attentive to Thea from the beginning. Thea being a business owner is really caring and loving and I loved that both Thea and Ben were all about family. From dates on getting to know each other to very hot sizzling moments, I could not get enough of this book.

*****Trigger Warning*****

This is a very dramatic read it is so detailed that it became a little hard to finish but I did and it was amazing.
This book is an adventure from the very beginning.
Always dependable when it starts in a coffee shop.
Steamy is an understatement and there is violence.
We have a female lead and she goes through the battle of life and love.
Will she ever be safe or happy that’s the question.
Im not giving it away but it is ACTION packed.
Each chapter introduces a new point of view or situation and we go deeper into the web of lies secrets and violence.
This book is five stars it was hard to read because of the content but if you can handle sex and violence you will love this beauty.
This is my first time reading this author and they are good.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The title and blurb are what caught my eye with this book. I have been itching for a good surprise baby romance lately. As this was my first book by this author, I wasn’t expecting to be hooked by these characters and how involved I got in their story. Harper and Lincoln had that instant chemistry for a fun weekend with a stranger, but that weekend turned into some more 9 months later. I will definitely be going back to read book 1 in this series!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fun, sweet story that puts you in the mood for romance and Christmas. Fun characters I’d like in real life, as well as some that are not as likable, but we can relate to having them in our lives! Not overdone on romantic scenes, which I think puts it firmly and fairly into that sweet/fun read category. The writing and editing I think could use a touch more of a heavy hand, but I really enjoyed the base story, under some strange addings on about Mrs. Clause. Overall it was a fun read and I’d read more by this author and in this Perfect Pairings series. I can see myself reading it again closer to the holiday when I need a quick break from all the busy, busy.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! This is a pretty intense story! Definitely not for the under 18 reader. I came into it thinking it would be a spy thriller. It was so much more. Liz was a singer who should have stuck with that job. She met a man who offered her a job as a spy and it went downhill from there. Nothing was as it seems. I can’t really tell you a whole lot more or it will spoil it. The plot is so well-written. The action starts in the prologue and just hooks you in. You are then taken for a wild ride with Liz. The characters are all so profound and deceptive yet deep. The ones that truly care about Liz, you’ll find yourself feeling suspicious about. Lack of trust feels like a main theme here. But this book definitely gets your heart thumping. I’m going to definitely recommend it to those who like strong action. Liz survives some very hard things. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

This was the first book I have read from this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I mostly read romances and this was right up my alley! I love the holidays and truly believe that they are the perfect time to read romance!

Ben and Thea were very well crafted, the story was short and sweet. This author wastes no time getting to the point and neither does Ben. I loved the meeting in the bakery and the sweet scenes the author puts up. I will for sure be recommending this to my friends!

Although this is the fourth book in the series, this is the first book I have read from this author. I really enjoyed the plot and the twists and turns! I can honestly say that I was expecting none of this book!

The characters were very well written! I really enjoyed both Brant and Aubrey which is rare because most of the time the guys seem too perfect! This was well written, good plot, and just a joy to read! Props to the author!!!

Blood Oath (Mafia Elite, #2)Blood Oath by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in this series and I was not disappointed. I feel like I connected more with the characters in this book than I did w/ Max and Lil in the first. I liked the overall plot and character and story development. I’m still flabbergasted that not a single police interaction has been touched upon in all the gun play and dead bodies in the past 2 books but, hey, I’m no gangster. Maybe that’s how it works.

One thing I will say is that I almost wish the author had told Elena’s story first. Her story entwines into this one and I felt like I was missing a large piece of the story. I’m sure it’s a way to bridge into that whole situation (possibly next?) but I almost wish it had been ordered the opposite way.

All- in- all I think I’d still give this book 5/5 stars. It was well written and a nice simple and fairly quick read. It didn’t lull or get boring at any point and the characters were relatable and well written. Looking forward to reading book 3.

I love these types of books and can’t wait to read part 2! Thank you!

I will definitely need to read the first three to this series as I feel I am missing quite a back story but it was a fantastic book. The author did a great job at introducing the characters and using such rich description to set up the scene in the mind of the readers! Originally I chose to read this book because the synopsis caught my eye – I have family in Wyoming so I take in any story with characters from there or ranchers! – but then the mystery and thriller aspect of the book took over and made me so curious for what was going to happen next and how it was going to play out. I honestly can’t explain too much without it spoiling the story for those excited to read it but what I will say is 10/10 it hooked me and I will be finding the first three immediately to fill in the mental gaps I have. The author did a good job at trying to connect all dots in this book but I definitely encourage readers to start from book 1 for the full experience.

Unlikely to Fit (A Parker Lake Novel Book 2)Unlikely to Fit by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlikely to Fit, the 2nd book in the Parker Lake series is a quick romance filled with wonderful characters. Breckin has returned home to Parker, Oklahoma where her husband leaves her for the just graduated, former head cheerleader of the high school. Griff is a man who lost his love in a tragic accident. He returns home to the simplicity of Parker and his family, to include his grandmother who is quite the character. These two former acquaintances from high school days reunite and attraction rides high. These two must decide if they are willing to risk more heartache at another chance for love and a happier future.
The author wrote all characters so well, including the supporting ones who I hope we get more on in future installments of this series. Breckin and Griff are both just kind, giving and wonderful people that you root for their happiness. Griff’s grandmother is just a one-of-a-kind lady who you cannot help but to adore, quirks and all! Not only do I want more details and books on Breckin’s best friends, but I also would love a book in this series for her dad. I really enjoyed the glimpse of his character throughout this story. I will definitely be on the lookout for the next in this series.

A Sweet ChristmasA Sweet Christmas by Nicole Richard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When a complete stranger steps into Thea’s bakery she is thrown into a whirlwind romance. Ben is a smooth talking charmer and it makes you wonder if it’s too good to be true. Thea and Ben spend the time around the holidays getting closer and finding that the things that they are looking for could be right in front of them.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a sweet love story (see what I did there), but it also was a refreshing spicy book as well. The characters were relatable and liked and it left me wanting more. I did have questions while reading like wanting to know more about her brother and where that will go. Also, wanting more to the story of her friend Jules and what came of her? Why had she started acting out of character. While I could make my own conclusions, I’m curious to see if there will be more to this or another novella coming! I am left with a little hole of unanswered questions.

Even with the unanswered questions I still highly recommend this book for anyone who would like a moderately steamy Christmas love story. This is a perfect book for you! I kept flipping the pages craving more and think anyone else would be too!

Rock Me to the Top a five-star read that will be like music to your ears. Gracefall can rock me any time, especially the drummer Joe, well he can definitely beat my drum. I loved how they were such good friends and how conflicted chemistry makes life. The will they wont they just adds to the whole drama. But don’t let the chemistry fool you, there is drama and upset that will knock you backwards. This is a great story and I can’t wait for more in the series.

Phillip and Kat will keep you guessing, what will happen to them, will they get their happily ever after in the end? Only time will tell. The journey you will be taken on through this duet will captivate and compel you. This is a great duet and one that will easily make it one of the best I will read this year.

The details are well done and keep you fully enveloped in the story. Number two needs to be read now!!

What an entertaining book tor read as we head into the holiday season! Santa and Mrs. Claus help Olivia find Jace, the hero of her book. Of course, Santa and his wife, along with their friends, are not quite who they seem. They are some of th feisty seniors on the cruise. This is the most entertaining romance books I’ve read in a while. The plot is fun, humorous and cheerful. The characters are quirky, with personalities that shine like Rudolph’s nose in a fog. This is a book to cuddle up with a warm blanket, some cookies and a cup of hot chocolate. Absolutely adorable. Highly recommend. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Blood Oath a sublime five-star read. This is number two in the Mafia Elite series, and I didn’t think it was able to be better than the first, but this one blew me away. You will be captivated by Sophia and Enzo, Sophia is the main character and she is doing what she can. But what we want to do isn’t always possible, and that’s when Enzo steps in, there is violence in this story, but it is done well, and has a place. This is a great story, and I can’t wait for what we will get next.

Drummer’s Beat: Satan’s Devils MC #2 Audiobook – by Manda Mellett
4 Stars!!!!

I am once again not let down. I have read many books from this author and this is yet another one that has gotten me hooked. I was so glad to get it in audio form as I have had quite a busy week and it fit right in with my busy schedule. The author really made a great choice in narrators as they really brang the book to life.

I like how all the series can blend into one another and the characters are all realistic. I also like how the author has mixed just enough drama into the romance that it makes you not want to put the book down or stop listening to it. I find that having the narrators reading it really bring a new level to the books. I cannot wait for more books from this author as well as audio ones.

A Sweet ChristmasA Sweet Christmas by Nicole Richard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Sweet Christmas is literally and figuratively exactly what this book was. It was a sweet romance between a baker and a guy in a suit, that started over the blue eyed stare of Ben.
I thought it was cute and sweet! Honestly I was reading like this can’t be real, when’s the other shoe going to drop and he’s going to have the grovel his way back. It never happened. The way the author wrote Ben and Thea it was like out of a fairytale. Boy meets girl, girl likes boy, boy is perfection, no drama.
A Sweet Christmas romance, that gives off that let’s cozy up with a big mug of hot chocolate and enjoy our book. I didn’t read it that way but I wish I did. Hmmmm… maybe I will have to read it again and do just that!
