Run to the Sea (Reigning Hearts Book One) AUDIO BOOK by KG Fletcher – Review by Sunday Barnaby

Run to the Sea (Reigning Hearts, #1)Run to the Sea by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Run to the Sea by K.G. Fletcher
Narrated by Kelly Genelle Fletcher
Five Stars

Run to the Sea is the first book in the first book in the Reigning Hearts series by K.G. Fletcher. It is a contemporary romance that is wonderfully written with characters that really put you on an emotional roller coaster. Thomas Capshaw and Emiline Fisher were childhood friends who lost touch. When Thomas comes back to town to settle his grandfathers affairs, he and Em rekindle there friendship which might turn into something more. This book had me laughing, crying and wanting to throw my kindle on the ground. This to me makes a great book. I can’t wait to read/listen to the next book in this series. K.G. Is one of my must read authors. I highly recommend this book.
This book was narrated by Kelly Genelle Fletcher. This is the first book I have listened to by Kelly. She really brings the characters to life. Her voice is smooth and easy to listen to.

Wildfire (The Broken Bow Book 2)Wildfire by Ashley A Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! Ashley A Quinn definitely spins quite the tale! There is the base romance storyline but also the mystery and suspense! I was reading this late one night after hubby had gone to bed and that was maybe not the best idea when reading scenes about a stalker crafted by a master author like Ashley! This was the first of her books I have read but now want to go and read #1 in this series and go from there!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love that this gave more than one story; it wasn’t just action, or murder mystery or love story. And no specific thing overpowered the other, if that makes sense.
I kept wanting to know who would be next & why, how? Would they figure it out? Would she kill her husband? For longest time I just wanted to know who the heck her husband was! All around good read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first time I am reading a book written by this author. The characters and story is well written and I really liked it from the beginning. The two main characters had great chemistry and you can tell they are working hard to forget or move on from their past. Will their love help them through it or hinder them? Between the romance and the intrigue make the book engaging. I’m sure many readers will enjoy this book.

Moonlit Mirage (A Cook Islands Romance) by Amy McKinley – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Moonlit Mirage - A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series)Moonlit Mirage – A Cook Islands Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Moonlight Mirage is a novella in the Moonlit Destination series by Amy McKinley. With being a novella, I felt like it was missing some detail. Her writing style is amazing, and I love all her books. The characters are likeable and the chemistry between Cade and Nadia was instant. I with there was more details given to their past, as it felt brushed over, told in passing. I did like the mysterious feel to it. We didn’t learn the details of their meeting until near the end of the book. I felt like the story ended abruptly, however, I’m hopeful their story continues in another book in the future. There is mentioning of characters from other McKinley books, so that was a pleasant surprise. This is a quick read, with a happily ever after. I recommend this book, and am onto the next in the series.

If you have read any of my reviews in the pest,  I often mention how I downloaded a book based on it’s synopsis but don’t remember exactly what it says by the time I start reading it. This novella is the perfect example. I will be completely honest with you, during the first chapter I want sure I was going to enjoy this story.  This is not to say the storyline and writing wasn’t fantastic, it just hit the ground running. Needless to say, I ended up loving it. I found myself smiling more often than not. The characters were great, whether Finley,  Garrett, or supporting characters. I could go on forever but since it’s such a short read, try it yourself!

The Kissing Bough (Forbidden Loves) by Madelynne Ellis Review by Gail Guerrero

Four Stars

The kissing Bough was a interesting story. I’ve read a lot of MFM books and this one by far is the most proper. I couldn’t get over how much more dirty it sounds when spoken in old language. The author really threw me with how good the story was written. It felt very classy and elegant. I’m all for doing what is right for you but incest is a big no for me. I kind of blocked that part out. It was a nice short read. Viola literally found herself due to a misunderstanding. She was granted her freedom due to poor choices. Percy and Will were interesting characters would’ve liked more of a background on them. I guess back then marrying or loving a cousin wasn’t strange or against the law. I say read it if you need something short and full of understanding and enlightenment.

Fighting For Us by Bella Emy is the first book in the Love Is Worth Fighting For series and was a great read! I was instantly enthralled from the first chapter and couldn’t hardly put it down. This was such a well written, heartfelt story. The characters were amazing and felt so real to me, I felt like I was right there with them the whole time.

Second Chance eX-mas by N.D. Jackson

This was an enjoyable quick read. The author did an exceptional job making the characters come to life, and making me feel like I was along with them in this charming small town. This is a wonderful holiday read and hopefully there is enough holiday magic for Ally and Archer to get a second chance at love and happiness. Even though this is a quick read it never felt rushed or or like you missed out on anything. There are some wonderful characters in this book. This is a must read to get all those feels you look for in a good second chance romance story. I will definitely be reading more books by this author. I highly recommend this book.

Stars Fall From the Sky (Reigning Hearts Book Two) AUDIO BOOK by KG Fletcher – Review by Debi Kircher

Stars Fall From the Sky (Reigning Hearts Book Two) AUDIO BOOK by KG Fletcher

 

5 +++++ Stars

 

This is my 2nd AUDIObook by this author, I’ve read the ebook and just like the first one I had to have the audio because it is told in this author’s own voice and I fell in love all over again with this book. Most of this review is a copy from my ebook review because the feelings are the same after settling in and listening to it being read to me.

 

This story grabbed me from page 1…squeezed the ever loving life out of me…destroyed me …blew life back in to me, knocked me back down again, and then picked me back up…I ugly cried more than once, well more than twice actually and felt completely worn out. I’ve read I think all of this author’s books. I’ve loved every one of them and will read them all again at some point, but this one even though the second in a series stands within my top favorites of all time. 

 

Ginger and Jonathon brought out every emotion I didn’t know I had. This story was written so beautifully and felt so real. I swear I feel like I stepped back out of Sandersville Beach after reading the last page. I loved Ginger in Emmy and Cappy’s book and love her even more now. Speaking of which, it was so completely awesome being back with Emmy and Thomas again as well..I loved their story and it was nice to be a part of their continuing journey. I love this town and I love the people in it…I want to move there!

 

I want so bad to get into more details of the story itself but I don’t trust myself to do that without giving away things I shouldn’t be so will end here and leave you with…these books are a must read and now a must listen, there’s too much in the first book to skip it so I don’t recommend that. I’m so hoping she decides to narrate Fiona’s story as well. 

 

Grab the books or the audios or both..I swear reading them first makes them like a favorite movie, then watching that favorite movie again this time in her voice and anticipating some of my favorite parts and how she handles them. I just LOVE it beyond words!

 

Many thanks and much love to this author!

OFFICE MISTAKES by BETH HALE – Review by Chantelle Smith

Office MistakesOffice Mistakes by Beth Hale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a brilliant first read from this author and really set me up for looking forward to more reads by her! Office Mistakes is a feel-good holiday romance read that while short, really does bring you quite a bit in a short time. Audra and Charlie have a connection that is undeniable but has been put to the back as they both are hoping for the same promotion, until one night! These two have amazing chemistry and I loved watching them work through the glitches they had at the beginning as it showed what they were both willing to put into things, it also showed what their real feelings were, in a short period of time! Can Audra put aside her past enough to allow Charlie to come and show her what she really needs and wants? I highly recommend this read.

This audio book had me laughing within the first chapter. Noel is hilarious and real I can feel myself in her. She’s a true inner womens dialogue. A women scron is not one to be messed with.
Dave what a dickhead. He is what you call a despicable human been. If your ears are delicate you may need an adjustment. Leon is amazing I love his character. The narrative who does this book both female and male do. It very well.
I have throughly enjoy all the voices who have done this audio book. I listen to this book in one sitting it is brilliant and I would highly recommend it to someone who wants a realistic romance story with the real world aspects.

Eye of Death: A Paranormal Romance by Alexander Charalambides
Four Stars

Eye of Death is the third book in the Vampire State series by Alexander Charalambides. This series should be read in order, if you haven’t read the first two books, I highly recommend you go back and read them first. All of the books are excellent, but you need the backstory from the first two to really understand all of the nuances of this book. Rowena is back and trying to figure out which path she needs to take. This book hooked me from the first page and I just couldn’t put it down until I finished the last.Alexander Charalambides has a very interesting take on vampires that makes the story not like other vampire romance. If you love Paranormal Vampire Books, I highly recommend this one.

Fighting for Us (Love is Worth Fighting For Book 1) by Bella Emy – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Fighting for Us (Love is Worth Fighting For #1)Fighting for Us by Bella Emy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story will pull you in from the beginning!

Both Lorenzo and Carissa are broken characters. Lorenzo had a wife and his beautiful baby daughter, until his wife was taken away from him and he was left as a widowed father. Carissa was engaged to the man she was planning on spending forever with. However, when her fiancé runs off, she stops believing that happily ever after actually exists. However, a night out sets them on a course that will have them questioning if love is worth fighting for.

I enjoyed both of these characters…and the secondary characters were wonderful as well. Lorenzo’s family and Carissa’s support system are awesome! Lorenzo and Carissa both have pasts that have jaded them against love and relationships…but there is something some magnetic about their chemistry that they keep getting pulled back together. They both have issues to overcome and the author does a great job of working through them. This was a pretty quick read that I devoured in one sitting.

This is one of the first books that I have read by Bella Emy…but it won’t be the last!

I enjoyed this romance story. It is a shorter story that packs a real punch for romance. I was pulled into the story right from the beginning and it certainly kept me turning pages to the end. This is an engaging story about Fiona and Connor. She is asked to tutor a football player but what she doesn’t realize is that she is about to face someone from her past. The problem is that he left her all that time ago, will he make amends with her? Connor is determined to have her back and show her he isn’t leaving this time. What happens next you will need to read this book. They are such great characters and really made the story easy to read for me. Their chemistry is awesome and couldn’t wait to see if they get their HEA. I highly recommend reading their story and this author

Rick: Ingram Brothers #3 by Roz Lee – Review by Karyn Taylor

Rick (Ingram Brothers #3)Rick by Roz Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rick is the 3rd book in the Ingram Brothers series by Roz Lee. This book can be read as a standalone. I had not read any of the previous two books and did not feel that I was missing any necessary information. Although now having met all 3 brothers in this book, I’d like to go back and get the stories of the others two brothers Jake and Will.
Unlike Jake and Will’s stories, Rick is an M/M romance. I don’t read a lot of M/M romance but do usually enjoy them when I do and I really enjoyed this book very much as there was so much going on that just the M/M sex scenes although I must point out that they were HOT!
I really enjoyed Rick and Brent’s story. Rick is ex-military and has kept his sexuality hidden. He is well and truly still in the closet. Thanks to his brother he now has Brent as his roommate but the attraction between the 2 is off the charts and they soon can’t keep their hands off each other.
I was really rooting for Rick to come out to his brothers but I’m sure he never expected them to find out the way they did. That was one of my favourite scenes and I won’t spoil it by saying what happened but it’s definitely worth a read for this scene alone.

I loved this Christmas book. It is full of Christmas spirit, magic and of course, it would not be Christmas without Santa. This is a well written story that brings hope to a difficult topic for some. The characters bring the story to life and bring lots of emotions. This is a shorter story that I found to be engaging and fast paced. This is a story about a family whose father is dying of cancer. Santa steps in and tells his wife that she must keep him alive. She wonders how when she has no medical training or skills. Will she and the rest of the family learn the true meaning of a miracle? This is such a great story and the characters are amazing. It will show you the true meaning of Christmas. I highly recommend this book and this author.

The Rest of Forever (Audio Tour) by Carrie Pulkinen – Review by Meg Tyrrell

This is my first book by Carrie Pulkinen. It was a great story idea with humans and angels. I loved this story. It is a love story between two guardians – as in guardian angels. It gives the idea of how the angels become guardians and extremely detailed. These two characters have some baggage to work through, but it is a great read. The narrators were fantastic. They helped get me into this story easily. I recommend it! Can’t wait to see what this author has coming up next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a very sweet romance. It was an enjoyable read with characters that were well written and you can’t help but fall in love with them. This book gives you all the feelings from excitement and love, to tears and sadness. There are also twist and turns which keep you guessing which I liked as its not a straight forward boy meets girl and falls in love.

Lauren is an aspiring singer on the local bars. She wonders if she will ever get her big break. What she doesn’t expect is to bump into a famous model during one of her shows.

David is in town for his sisters wedding when he hears Lauren sing and instantly falls for her. After spending time together he realises he needs to be with her so asked her to come with him for his big launch.

But not everyone is happy for David and Lauren. Will their spark grow into a fire? Will Lauren be too much of a distraction for David? Will their careers suffer for their romance or will they make it work?

But there is always the one who got away, would you ever be able to extinguish that old tiny flame? As it may be tiny, but its ultimately very strong. Then you have Archer, who is strong and tuff and has been fighting but now he may need to fight harder than ever. This was a great story, short and spicy and filled with festive spirit.

But this is so much more than just a story, its also got some great recipes as well, so you feel like you are part of the magic of the story. Cat and her bestie/cousin Robyn will make you wish you had friends like them at their age.

I always love a good holiday themed read, and this one did it for me. Although short and sweet, it had everything I needed to fall in love with this book. The characters were well developed and I was quickly turning the pages to find out what happens with Archer and Ally and of course Glory. Their story is sweet, beautiful and their second chance at love and a life together had me excited. The drama involved with Archer being in the military and him leaving everything by behind gave the story that little extra kick. I really look forward to reading more from this author.

This is the first book by author Bella Emy that I’ve read. I really loved the relationship between Lorenzo and Carissa, how they were drawn together from the moment they met. Similar to most couples, the two have their ups and downs which helped me relate to them. Its great to see that both Lorenzo and Carissa have strong support, which in my experience means a lot. I really am happy that I picked up this book and found these characters to be genuine. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author!

Cemetery Tour: A Walk Through the Old Yard by Stuart Ledwith was a great read! I enjoyed reading this novel more than his past that I’ve read, maybe because it felt more like fiction, and telling tales than just being a non-fiction book. I enjoyed reading every story that was told from the ghosts. Whether they were real or not, and whether these were just made up or actually told, they were very enjoyable to read, and went by really quickly. I’m glad I picked this book up to read. Definitely a page turner.

This book was really interesting. It follows the authors through his walks through the cemetery. I have read several books by this author and I love the way he retells people’s stories. In this book he tells the stories of the some of the people who are buried there. The good and bad. The loves and losses. And what made them special even if they didn’t realise it in life.

Each person he talks to and retells their story is an interesting person. All with different paths in life and different stories to tell.

The author tells the stories with compassion, never adding facts to make it more dramatic. The stories are genuine written by genuine people who just want to get their lives remembered and known. With the help of the compassionate author they were able to do that.
