One In A Billion (Pierce Brothers, #3)One In A Billion by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a cute read! A typical, contemporary romance novel, it had witty venter between characters, sexual tension, and well written words throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and the characters in it. It was a quick read and fast paced, which I really enjoyed. I easily got lost in this novel and didn’t want to leave. This is a standalone book, and the whole series is a standalone so you don’t have to have read the first two books to read this one. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future!

The Lie That Binds by Amy Argent – Review by Rachel Moss

The Lie That BindsThe Lie That Binds by Amy Argent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was interesting read. I wasn’t too into it when I first started reading it, but as I kept on it really picked up and I enjoyed it by the end. One thing that really made this difficult for me to get into, well two things, is that one it read to me like a Twilight fan fiction kind of novel. I almost felt like I was back in Forks with the vampires until I got several chapters in and was able to separate the two. The second thing was all the nicknames. One every once awhile was ok but Holly, the female main character, just kept on with the nickname/name calling and it’s ine aspect I personally didn’t enjoy. Overall this was enjoyable read, and while it wasn’t my favorite I would definitely read more from this author in the future!

Romance under Aquarius (Stargazing Series Book 1) by Danielle Jacks – Review by Rachel Moss

Romance Under AquariusRomance Under Aquarius by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a decent book. I absolutely loved the storyline! But I had a few issues with this one. First of all, Maris forgave Pasha way too fast to me. I could never. Saying it like this to avoid spoilers, anyway. The story was very fast paced. And while it made this a very quick read, everything felt super rushed and some parts of the plot just kind of ran together to mebecause of that. I feel like if it was slowed down just a tad it would have made the plot better. I loved the mermaid and human aspect! I rarely see novels about mermaids so this was definitely refreshing and I enjoyed that. So while I really want to rate this higher I just can’t because of my frustration with some of the characters, because I really wanted to shake some sense into them, lol!

The Mastermind (WaterFyre Rising, #1)The Mastermind by Nadia Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was really good, but it also wasn’t my favorite. I hate it, because I wanted to love it so much and it just fell short to me. I loved the characters, and the sexual tension was amazing. But what got to me was the internal monologue of both characters, and then the sex scenes just felt super awkward to me, and I just didn’t connect to the story like how I wanted to. The plot was amazing, and the whole video game idea was very interesting. I enjoyed this novel, I just didn’t love it and I hate that I didn’t because as stated above the story is great. I will definitely read the next installment of this standalone series though!

This cute little book was fantastic! Each part (the book has 3 of them in it) are basically like a little mini story and I absolutely loved it. This book was not only romantic, and a very clean romance, good for just about any age, but it also felt completely magical. I honestly didn’t want to put it down. I loved each if the characters and felt like I was right there. I laughed and I cried. I definitely want to read more about these couples in the future!

Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove #1)Finding Starlight by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great book! I wasn’t sure what exactly to expect, but I loved the cover and this one wasn’t a disappointment! Just as a warning, this book does cover some domestic abuse/violence so it may possibly contain triggers for that. The writing was so well done with this book, I was instantly drawn in to the story and didn’t want to leave. There was a small twist but to me it was predictable, I guessed it pretty early on. Overall though I loved this book and can’t wait to read the next installment!

Oliver: A Story about AdoptionOliver: A Story about Adoption by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thought this was a really cute read for children! Not only is it inclusive for kids that have been adopted but it also paves the way to talk about anger issues and how to handle things when they don’t go your way. I loved the illustrations and thought they were adorable and fit the story very well. I would definitely recommend this to parents who have adopted or are considering adoption.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an incredible read! I loved reading this one so much. It was full of humor, Romance, witty banter, and some action. I was completely enthralled with this book and did not want to put it down. This is the third installment of a series, and I have not read the previous books in this series but I didn’t feel like I was missing anything. This felt like a complete standalone to me, which is one reason why I decided to read this one. Kudos to the author though, this book was completely outstanding to me!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very cute read for kids! This book teaches the science behind ice, and also is creates a great opportunity to teach children water safety and how to possibly prevent drowning. The pictures were very colorful and vivid, and definitely grab the attention. I feel like this is a story for older children, but definitely could be read to all ages.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great read! I know there was another series before this one, and I do feel like I would understand Faerie and the characters a little bit more if I had of read if first, however I didn’t feel like I missed much in regards to past events with this novel. The writing was phenomenal, and the story telling was magnificent. I was so easily pulled into this story and finished it fairly quickly. I could imagine everything in this book and felt like I was really there. I absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for the next installment!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was fantastic! I think it was my favorite so far in this series. I never expected Trey to be like this (trying to write in context without spoilers) but just read it and you’ll see what I mean! The banter was amazing, as was the steam and of course the storyline was great. All of this authors stories that I’ve read so far are amazing. I absolutely loved this installment and can’t wait to read the next one!

This was a great read! I absolutely loved this finale for this series. I felt like it was the perfect end to an amazing series. Like always, it was extremely well written and grabbed me from the first few pages. I’m so glad I decided to go on this journey with Dahlia and all the other amazing characters that were introduced. And while I am sad to see it end, I felt like this book did the series a great justice. So thanks to the author for writing a beautiful series and for letting us all enjoy it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really good read! This story was sexy, steamy, and very well written. The plot was great, and the characters just came to life on the pages. While I also found this one predictable, it still grabbed me and kept me interested enough to keep reading. This book was short, which I enjoyed because it made it a quick read, and still packed full of enough interesting content without skipping on the details. This has been a great series and I have highly enjoyed reading them.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a decent read. It wasn’t my favorite I’ve ever read, but it wasn’t bad either. This is part of a series but can be read a standalone. I did like this book, but I guessed what would happen at the get go, so it kind of lost my attention while I was reading. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline however, and it was well written. It had great character development and because of the main female character, Josie, it was decently emotional as well. It was also a quick read, which I enjoyed. Overall I did enjoy it and will definitely look forward to more books from this author in the future.

This was a really good read! This was vert well written, with such a rich storyline and rich storytelling, it was hard to put down. It was so easy for me to imagine myself being right there with Maggie (Margaret) and the rest of characters as this story unfolded. It was such a beautiful story and history, I could hardly put it down. I am honestly in awe of well this novel was written and done. I didn’t want to leave or stop reading. Kudos to this author for this amazing gem of a story. I’m so glad I got the chance to read it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great read! It was enthralling, well written, and also difficult to read in some spots, in regard to prejudices. I was very surprised going into this one, because I honestly just didn’t expect it to be this good. I haven’t read anything from this author before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but this sure wasn’t it. I’m VERY appreciative of the pronunciation guide in this book, as some of the words are extremely difficult to pronounce. But overall this was an amazing read and I can’t wait for the sequel!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really good read! I will admit I was a bit confused at the beginning, especially since while I love wine I don’t understand a lot about it or vineyards, but once you get past the logistical speak it’s so hard to put down! It was enthralling and so well written, I just wanted to keep reading and I didn’t want to put it down. The romance was great and I very easily fell in love with these characters. This is the first book I’ve read from this author before and I definitely plan to read more in the future!

This was a great read! I’m so glad I took a chance on this book and picked it up. The cover is gorgeous and the blurb just sealed my decision in reading it. I’ve seen a few reviews with complaints on the language being modern, and while it is it didn’t really bother me. I consider it being a creative right of sort. This was a really enjoyable story, and I absolutely can not wait to read the next installment. I loved the prose in this novel, everything was so beautifully written and described I became lost within the pages. Kudos to this author for writing a very entertaining novel!

This is a great series! If you enjoy HEA romances that are super sweet and entertaining then this set is for you! One thing I love about these books is that each one is a standalone so even if you don’t want to get the whole set (which I highly suggest doing) you can still read individually and out of order. Each story is enthralling and steamy as well. I highly recommend this set!

The Cruiser (The Hustlers Trilogy, #1)The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an incredible read! It was funny, fast paced, steamy and very descriptive! The book cover is obviously gorgeous, but what made me stay was the witty banter and just gorgeos imagery the author is able to weave in her writing. I felt like I was right there in Monaco with the main characters. This is the first book of a new series by an author that is new to me and if the first book is any indication for the series to come, I absolutely can not wait for the next one! I do not want this to be the last book I read from this author. It has a little bit of everything. Definitely an 18+ story though, due to some very steamy/spicy scenes! I could hardly put this one down!

This book (well boxset really) was so cute and sweet! I highly enjoyed reading this. What really caught my eye was the cover, because it really is a gorgeous cover, but the storyline and characters made me stay! The main character, Melodie, was such a quirky and loving character! I wish I could meet her in real life because her character is awesome. I laughed while reading this book and I wanted to cry, it was so beautiful reading their (Melodie’s and Isaac’s) story. I would love to read about these characters again, one day in the future!

While I enjoyed it I felt it was pretty predictable. And saying that, because I felt itbwas predictable, it was a fun time killing read. I did enjoy this book and I can’t wait to read more from the author in the future!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fast-paced, quick, easy science fiction romance read. I did enjoy reading this one, and it can be read as a standalone book. I have not read any of the previous books in this series and I didn’t feel like I missed much. There were a few times that I wished I had some more background information but that contribute to the ending or my feelings about this book at all. It was interesting to me see just how creative this authors mind is, especially in regards to the cuisine in this book and the edible lingerie. If you like steamy, easy sci-fi reads then this one is for you!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great read! It was short, funny, packed full of adventure. This is a cozy mystery novel, so it doesn’t get too upsurd or out of hand. I laughed, was on the edge of my seat, and at the end I cried. This had such a happy ending and was very positive for a murder mystery story. I felt off at the beginning, because there’s a prequel that apparently happens before the events of this novel, but even without that I wasn’t too confused. I really enjoyed this one and can’t wait to read the next installment of this series!

I think my daughter will enjoy it when she gets older, but for right she seems a little too young to completely understand the story and the concept. I can’t wait to read this to her when she gets older!

This was a really good read, and a great addition to this series! It was really interesting to see a dynamic that was outside of the families, and I really enjoyed that. It was enthralling, thrilling and exciting. My one complaint is inconsistency. It wasn’t major inconsistencies, but it was enough to give me pause on small scenes. I think it was more of my OCD that caught it, but it absolutely had nothing to do with the major plot or anything like that. This author as always knocked this one out of the park. It was hard to put down and I absolutely can not wait to read the next installment to this series!

This was an interesting read! It wasn’t my type of book though. While I like some thrillers, it’s not my favorite genre. But the synopsis sounded so good I wanted to give it a try! And while I did enjoy it, it just didn’t capture and hold me like I was hoping it would. It had a very intriguing plot, and this is honestly the first book I’ve read since 2020 that has even mentioned the pandemic, so that was a big attention grabber to me. I think I just had an off reading day, and I can’t wait to go back in the future and give this one another chance!
