She’s No Cowgirl (My Cowboy Series Book 5) by Brooke May – Review by Lianne Probert

She's No CowgirlShe’s No Cowgirl by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

She’s No Cowgirl is the fifth book in the My Cowboy series by Brooke May.
I haven’t read the rest of the books in the series and would say this can definitely be read as a stand alone book.

I really enjoyed this book, it’s an entertaining, light-hearted read. It has a wonderful storyline that was a different take on the usual sporting romance themes.
The thing that made this story stand out for me was the characters. The female lead is strong, passionate, and isn’t afraid to chase her dreams. The chemistry between Kennedy and Hunter really kept me hooked. It wasn’t always smooth sailing for these guys, there’s plenty of challenges and drama that they faced throughout, but I was really rooting for them.
I’m looking forward to reading the previous books in the series now.

Her Billionaire Daddy (Western Daddy Doms Book One) by Allison West – Review by Liz Vrchota

Her Billionaire Daddy (Western Daddy Doms Book 1)Her Billionaire Daddy by Allison West
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting new read for me. I have read a few books by Allison West before but this one is definitely more of a special niche type read. I will say this book features an alternate, still relevant however, and erotic moments, as well as some Daddy/little play. This was done very tastefully however, even when parts did stray from a typical ethical daddy dom situation. I kept in mind that his book was written as a fantasy though and so it wouldn’t follow a handbook type guide. Her Billionaire Daddy is the first book in the Western Daddy Doms Series and really does set up the location and things for the whole series. We get the story of Martin in this one. He is a a man with a mission to fix his reputation. Things get interesting when Samantha promises to marry him under the idea it is a sham and temporary marriage meant to make his image better. There are layers to this story that are built perfectly and make so much sense but I can’t reveal because it would kill the twists and turns for you. I can say if you like niche romances with lots of steam and plenty of romance, this is for you. I will be interested to see what we will get from the next book in the series.

Kickflip Summer by Danielle Jacks – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Kickflip SummerKickflip Summer by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a lighthearted fun YA contemporary romance which had me hooked from the start. ‘Kickflip Summer’ is a real summer romance with great characters in a lovely setting which had me feeling completely immersed in this novel whilst reading it. Best friends Kara and Toby want one last summer of fun together before they both head of to University. The pair get jobs at Blue Oaks Theme Park and are determined to have fun as well as work. However, Kara did not expect to be attracted to her new boss, but she then comes to the conclusion that a quick summer fling can’t hurt. Bear was happy to spend the summer teaching kids skateboarding until his Dad insisted that he return home and get serious about his future. Bear is unhappy at the thought of working at Blue Oaks Theme Park until he meets new girl Kara who’s there working over the summer. Kara literally knocks Bear off his feet and then he’s hooked and decides that he can handle a summer romance. Having been bought together by chance, both Kara and Bear discover in each other something they didn’t know they needed. Suddenly the summer seems to be to short for the couple and they must decide if their summer romance is just that, or something more.
I loved this sweet romance and found the main characters very likeable and relatable, I was really hoping that Kara and Bear would get a happy ending. The storyline flows well and I like how the story is told from both Kara and Bear’s point of view and this made getting to know the characters easier. The wonderfully written narrative kept me happily turning the pages and the authors detailed descriptions really bought the setting alive, at times I felt as though I was in the theme park. A lovely romantic, enjoyable and engaging debut novel by Danielle Jacks.

Playing Series 3 Book Set by Stephanie Queen – Review by Liz Vrchota

Playing Series 3 Book SetPlaying Series 3 Book Set by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am such a mega fan of football romance novels it’s a bit much but I can’t get enough. When I saw these three were offered in a box set from one of my go to romance authors, Stephanie Queen, I knew I had to scoop it up ASAP. I wasn’t disappointed one bit either, these kept me glued to my kindle all weekend long and it was just what the doctor ordered to escape my funk. These have some of it all, romance, witty characters, drama, and of course some sassy love scenes. What more could you want?

PLAYING FOR MONEY:
In this one we focus on Hunter Quintana. He is in quite the predicament and needs to stay out of trouble if at all possible, especially since he is on probation. Unfortunately, fate has another plan when he drops the coach’s daughter and a bad crush for her in his lap. This sucker was a fun read and I found myself giggling several times as I read and cheering for these two to get that happily ever after no matter what.

PLAYING FOR LOVE:
Adding second chance romance into sports/football romance reads is seriously like sprinkling sugar on top and adding the cherry to your fav sundae. I loved this one so much as we followed Gabriel, the team’s star quarterback. His girlfriend and her bestie are about to make his steady and good life a bit more dramatic to say the least! This actually was my fav of the three books in this series and I’d totally read another Gabriel book any day!

PLAYING FOR KEEPS:
In Playing for Keeps we get Tate’s story. The trope is one we see a lot of , enemies to lovers, but Queen really wrote this in a way that it was fresh and entertaining the whole way through. Tate and Chloe start off with a tumultuous start but I think the way to the end was well worth every second.

Her Billionaire Daddy (Western Daddy Doms Book 1)Her Billionaire Daddy by Allison West
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Martin is trying to run a successful business, but rumours of his lifestyle are putting people off doing business with him. What he needs is a stable lifestyle, a family, and a wife. When he runs into his sister’s old friend Samantha at a bookshop he is pleasantly surprised at the attraction between them. Now he just needs to convince Samantha to strike a deal with him and be his temporary wife.
Martin has many surprises to share with Samantha, the main one being that she must call him Daddy. Samantha soon realises there’s much more to Martin than she first thought.
I like the relationship between Martin and Samantha and how the varying parts of their relationship develop and grow. What starts as a fake marriage for the sake of appearances soon deepens into much more.
For me the story was lacking some romance. I enjoyed the characters but it all moved very quick. Overall though I still enjoyed the story and would recommend it as a quick and sexy read.

Her Billionaire Daddy (Western Daddy Doms Book One)
By Allison West
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Her Billionaire Daddy (Western Daddy Doms Book One) by Allison West. It has steamy romance and wonderful characters. I loved reading about Samantha Bellamy and Martin Taylor. Samantha is a romance writer who is intelligent and independent. Martin is a billionaire with a secret. He also needs to be seen publicly in a better light. What will happen when Martin offers Samantha a deal that is hard to pass up? The romance in their story lights up the pages. The temperature in the room will rise. I grew to care about Samantha and Martin with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. The book also involves inclusion in a different lifestyle at a club. Many steamy moments are experienced by Samantha and Martin when there. The author does a wonderful job of making both the story and the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on a book that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

EAST BEACH (Red Farlow Mysteries No. 3) by W.F. Ranew – Review by Liz Vrchota

East Beach (Red Farlow Mysteries: #3)East Beach by W.F. Ranew
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have really enjoyed the Red Farlow Mysteries by WF Ranew, so when I saw there was a new one available I instantly one-clicked. I was not disappointed with East Beach either, in fact this may just be my favorite so far. Ranew really has a knack for writing suspense and mystery. I was constantly second guessing myself as I read, wondering if things really were what they seemed on the surface, but this sucker throws in some twists and turns that you won’t see coming. I was on the edge of my seat and found myself reading this in one fell swoop well past my bedtime. I really loved the backdrop as well I felt as if I was visiting a mysterious and creepy misty beach town the entire time.

In Easy Beach we find Red Farlow, the PI we have come to love, receiving an odd message from his friend. When he decides to look into it more and go to his friend he discovers him laying in a pool of blood after being shot. He will now stop at nothing to discover who killed his friend and why. The adventure is one you won’t want to miss and I can’t wait to see what else we will find Red Farlow doing next!

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I enjoyed this romance story. It is engaging and fast paced. The characters are well developed and I enjoyed watching them grow throughout the story. I had no issues with connecting with them as they brought the story to life. This is a story about an author and a playboy. Martin has a reputation for being a playboy on top of the secret he keeps. He has a chance at making millions but the only problem is his reputation. He approaches Samantha with a deal that has a few catches to it. They have great chemistry together and really made the story for me. They made me feel as if I was right there in the story with them. I enjoyed being pulled in right from the beginning and I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

East Beach: Red Farlow Mysteries: #3 by W.F. Ranew is a mystery thriller story. It will have you thinking you had it figured out only to be slipped a twist and a turn here and there and you had no idea. WF is very good a character building and they are well written. Red finds his friend on deaths door and is now on the hunt to find out who did this. The trail leads to drugs and cartel and your share of seedy bad guys. It also leads to more questions than answers. There are a lot of moving people and pictures in this story but WF does a good job of pulling it all together.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a book I could connect to a lot personally. I run a blog and my own FB page is filled with quotes which urge the readers to enjoy the little things in life. This book, unlike mine, is a lot more personal. The author deliberates on the little things that matter to her in her own life, the observations we can all connect to at some point of another.
I did feel that the style of writing is a little inconsistent, perhaps because it is a compilation of blog published together in a book. But this book gave me a whole set of new ideas and perspectives , right as an individual and a blogger.

Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Grosse PointeGrosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grosse Pointe by Natalie Barnes was such a good story. I was drawn in just from the cover and then read the description. It takes place in the 1920s and it is very well written. The author does a great job of describing things, that I wouldn’t even have thought of. Such as the boys first seeing the statue of liberty, their first experience in a car, concern whether they will have electricity or indoor plumbing, and courting a girl in the 20s. Brek leaves his mom and home of Kilkenny, to board a boat to America when he is just 15 years old. He is lucky enough to make a friend on the ship, and they bond together and watch each other’s back. It is sort of a coming of age story, mixed with mild gangster life in early America. The book has a lot of slang, that I am not sure if its Irish slang or just of the times… That took me a bit to get used to and understand what they were saying. The words repeat so you get used to it and don’t even notice after a while. I recommend this book and can’t wait to read more by Barnes.

CAFE CONFIDENTIAL: An unfiltered and intimate memoir by Lynda Filler is a non fiction adventure story. It is a story of the journey of our author who sold up and ventured into the unknown. It is a step by step look at her life going from place to place with no destination in mind but with only the thought of feeding her mind, body and soul. I was immersed in the story and it was over before I knew it, but it left an impression on me.

This is this author’s first book and I really enjoyed it, it came with all the emotions and sweetness I love in a book. The writing style was smooth and super easy to read.

I loved the characters and getting to know them, sometimes though I forgot how old they were as some of the parts made it seem they were older than they really were. That did not take away from the story though and I loved how they met and her best friend Toby was awesome!

This was an all around sweet read, I like that it didn’t jump into being an insta love type relationship and I was able to watch it grow.

I loved it and can’t wait to read more from this author!

Reign The Larussio Legacy by Via Mari (Goodreads Author) was a thrilling 5 star read.
We continue with this edge of your seat series and I couldn’t stop until I was done.

Giovanni and Serena pull you right into their story. Serena is struggling with putting her family in danger by being with Gio. Because of some of her choices Gio and his team struggle to keep her safe. After a dangerous twist she finally gets it and realizes her place is with Gio.

Can Gio keep Serena and her family safe? Will her nonna ever accept her love for Gio?

Overall this was a great read. There are several twists and turns. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I did however have some frustration with Serena and some of her early decisions, but she finally got it. We get steamy moments, action, suspense and so much more. If you’re looking for a great series that pulls you right in I highly suggest this one. 1-click and get started today.

Spicetopia Boxed Set (Books #1-4)Spicetopia Boxed Set by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sugar and Spice is book 1 in this new adventure by author Phoebe Alexander. It is a fun story. Original and different. Our main characters are the Sweet family, specifically Cy Sweet and their workers from Sweetopia, specifically Jolie, the Red Velvet Queen. Sugar and Spice is a little different than the stories Alexander usually writes. It’s a little “sweeter”. The sex is still spicy but the actual story is sweet. However, once Cy and Jolie get to the hot tub things just might change and lead to a steamer second story!

Moving on to book 2 which is called Virtue & Vice. Adult-only theme park? Yes please! BDSM, swingers and danger oh my! And the sexy time in each story just gets hotter and hotter. Cy and Jolie are sure mixing things up!

Fire & Ice is book 3 and is another fun and sexy story in the series of an adult amusement park! I can’t get enough of this series. Book 3 starts hot and heavy from the first page! The characters from this book are fun, ambitious, sexy and entertaining. These characters learn they need to shape up or their lives won’t be a happily ever after tale.

Is Book 4 the end? Naughty and Nice is the last story in the Spicetopia boxed set. This story takes us on another ride into fantasy land! Alexander has created an adult world…well actually an adult playground that helps the reader escape real life problems. A dream land!

“No judgment. Everyone’s into different things, and it’s all good. I’ve never been in a place where I felt freer to be myself.”

There should be so many places where people can say this in the real world.
We follow many of the characters from Book one throughout the series. Each book looking at one couple more than the others.

This series is NOT for readers under 18, readers with closed minds. As Enya said “I didn’t think it was the thing for me. Not that I blamed anyone else for enjoying it…”

A boxed set for the no judgment reader!

I really enjoyed reading about Jessica and Ant and how their relationship shifted over the course of time. I forgot how much I loved their characters in the first book of this series but once it all fell into place i had a hard time putting the book down.

Ant was inspiring and I could so relate on his I hate exercise feelings, I unfortunately have a lot more work to do than Ant.  It was cool to see how his mindset changed from the beginning to the end.  I wish I could meet someone like Jessica to help me get it together.

Jessica is amazing,  she isn’t that in your face healthy person who tries to push her way of life on you, instead she asks you to try.  Oh and her heart is as big as can be.

The friendship between the girls and the relationship Jessica and her family have warmed my heart and made me a little jealous.

Logan has grown a lot since the first book, and she has a great group of friends who make occasional appearances to help her out.

It creates empathy and understanding otherwise often denied. I love the concept of the story. I found following the story from Astrid’s perspective intriguing. It felt a little disjointed to me a few times but likely because it’s a raven’s point of view. Ha ha. Overall another very enjoyable fantasy read. I look forward to reading more from this author.
