If a small town, opposites-attract rock star romances are your thing then I’ll See You Again by K.G. Fletcher, is your next read. This is the fourth book in the Reigning Hearts series that is full of HEAs that will touch your heart.
Nicky Sinclair and Reid Macpherson were sweet, sexy, and everything that true love is about. But like all good love stories, some parts will have you grabbing tissues and crying along with the characters.
K.G. Fletcher’s writing always seems to put my heart on an emotional rollercoaster and loving every character she writes. I highly recommend reading any of her books and not falling in love.

Fletcher – Review by Jessica Leombruno
This was a wonderfully written novel with great main characters in the form of mule breeder Jake Sorenson and journalist Allison Tyler-Wilcox. Allison and Jake first meet at Jake’s sisters wedding and when Allison learns that he has been married and divorced seven times she can not believe it when he says that he considers himself to be ‘lucky at love’. Allison can not understand Jake’s attitude, that although he has been divorced many times his marriages were not failures. Trying to understand Jake and his views better Allison convinces her editor into letting her visit Jake at his ranch to do an article on, “the compulsion some people have when it comes to saying “I do””. Whilst spending time with Jake she realises she has misjudged him, and due to sharing mule rides and impromptu tango dances Allison realises that Jake’s unique philosophy on life and love might actually be worth listening to. The trip leaves Allison feeling confused about her own marriage and her own ideals, let alone confused about her feelings for Jake. I found myself fully immersed in this book due to the likeable and realistic characters, I enjoyed discovering how Allison and Jakes relationship changed and developed throughout the story. The storyline flowed along nicely and the narrative kept me happily turning the pages. Thanks to the wonderful descriptions by the author of both person and place I felt as though I was there with Jake and Allison. This novel is very character driven and Hamilton really made me care for the main characters and therefore I felt invested in the conclusion of both their story and the novel.

A Duke Never Forgets by Bianca Blythe is the third book in The Duke Hunters Club. Luckily this can be read as a standalone because I haven’t read the other books in the series. What happens when Duke of Sandridge has a swimming accident? Lots, and I’m not going to give it away. This story follows what happens to the Duke and Genevieve. There is lots of mistaken identities, lies, double lies, and all for a good reason. Will they get a happily ever after or remain enemies? You will have to read this delightful book to find out. This is a quick read but is full of humor and more. I always have liked historical fiction especially the Regency era and this gave me a quick and fun read. I look forward to reading more from Bianca Blythe in the future.

As a fan of K.G. Fletcher’s books I was looking forward to reading this one and I was not disappointed. I loved this opposites attract romance with a rock star twist. Although part of Fletcher’s ‘Reigning Hearts’ series each book can be read as a standalone story. As usual Fletcher took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this novel and as usual I was hooked from page one. I found myself fully immersed in Nicky and Reid’s love story and literally could not put the book down. I also found myself still thinking about the characters long after I had finished the book, which is always a sign of a great book to me. When famous Scottish musician, Reid Macpherson who is on the brink of stardom meets wedding planner Nicky Sinclair in a local bar in a small town their mutual attraction is instant and their chemistry sizzled off the page. However, Nicky does not know who Reid is until he invites her to New York where his first world tour kicks off. Just as the couple are exploring their connection, Nicky receives terrifying news and then finds herself in the headlines. With their romance all over the airwaves, Nicky worries that Mac will return to Scotland and forget her and Mac worries that he will loose his voice if he looses Nicky. No spoilers, as I recommend you read this wonderfully written romance, however I was cheering them on to their happy ever after.

Just wow! This book was everything and more! This is book 1 in the Rhodes Family Series By Lisa Wood, this is my first read from this author and it will definitely not be my last.
From the moment I started this read, I was compelled until the very end and didn’t want to put it down. This book had twists and turns throughout that really have you on the edge of your seat, wondering what can happen next.
Would Olivia be able to put her past behind and take on a new future? Will Gabriel be able to change his ways in order to be the best he can be for the future!
I absolutely loved following Olivia and Gabriel’s story, they have a connection and intense chemistry right from the start and I loved watching it develop further! This read is romantic, steamy has swoon-worthy moments and you can’t help but absolutely love these incredible characters this author has created!
I absolutely loved this read and I can’t wait to read more from this series and author, I can’t wait for more!

I really enjoy the books in Carrie Pulkinen’s ‘New Orleans Nocturnes’ series and this latest story which is book four, was just as good as the previous books. They can all be read as standalone stories although some of the characters do crossover. This was a fun paranormal romantic comedy with great characters. It has a very original storyline, in that the grim reaper, who is also called Asher, takes a holiday but whilst he’s away the door to the underworld is unattended and the ghosts start to wonder around New Orleans, in the French Quarter to be exact. Meanwhile necromancer Jasmine Lee suddenly finds herself surrounded by spirits needing help. Asher, once he returns from his holiday, and Jasmine have to work together to ensure all the lost souls return to the underworld. I love the two main characters, Asher and Jasmine and enjoyed the witty banter they shared. The chemistry between them also sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes. This was a fairly short story, but action packed and it was an easy going fun read with plenty of laughs and romance.

Deception by Victoria Saccenti is a great enemies to lovers story that will definitely pique your interest. I really enjoyed, right from the start, how you didn’t know much about what was going to happen from the description. It felt like the description was perfect to catch your attention but left the story to speak for itself. I enjoyed the angle the author took with this story, it made it feel different to others books of this type that I have read. I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t as intriguing as I expected from the blurb however the story was overall very good. I was invested in the characters and couldn’t wait to see how things would turn out. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I think she has a strong writing style. The book was well paced and I enjoyed how the characters were built up. This was a great story to read and I will definitely be interested in more work by this author.

On With The Butter by Heidi Herman is a book designed to help you make the most out of life and learn how to adapt your way of thinking. I liked how the author provided helpful suggestions and lists of how to implement what she was talking about. I’m not normally the type of person who will read a “self-help” book however this book I enjoyed. It didn’t feel like the author was lecturing on how you should do things and more regaling us with her own experiences and provided a basis for how we might learn from them and her. It was an interesting book to read and I found myself much more engrossed in the book than I expected. The tone of the book for me was also quite light hearted while also having depth which I think helped me enjoy this book more. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone that wants to challenge their way of thinking.

This is book 8 in Meghan O’Flynn’s ‘Ash Park’ series but each book can be read as a standalone story. This is a gritty fast paced crime thriller which had me gripped from page one and which had so many clever twists and turns that it kept me hooked and guessing until the very last page. The main character, Detective Petrosky was a great character with so many layers to him and an intriguing backstory of his own. Composed’s storyline is chilling and dark, and I became fully immersed in the story. The writer has amazingly detailed descriptions, so I felt as though I was there along side Detective Edward Petrosky. In this novel the Detective is tormented after a justified shooting in his previous case and fresh from leave his next case is a ruthless serial killer. With the citizens of Ash Park at risk Petrosky investigates, however when the Chief of Police and friend of the Detective is abducted the case becomes personal. Detective Petrosky must discover who the murderer is and stop him before his friend becomes his next victim. As described this is definitely a “dark, twisted, thrill ride”, and I could not put it down. I am already excited for the next book in Meghan O’Flynn’s ‘Ash Park’ series.

Finding Ruth is a very different book than I’m used to from Cynthia Hamilton. Cynthia delves into her mother’s past to discover the memories that Alzheimer’s has blurred, altered and in some cases removed completely.
Ruth’s story is a rollercoaster ride spanning over sixty years. The emotions bounce off the page through Cynthia’s writing and you want nothing more than for Ruth’s story to be a happy one. I found myself hooked, needing to know what happened next, so I can only imagine what this must have been like for the author to have been piecing together pictures and clues and memories to try and discover who her mother really was. The outcome of this is an emotional memoir about a real woman who made some difficult choices throughout her life. If you enjoy memoirs or non fiction stories then I would recommend this.

“We’ve all heard the popular expression YOLO—you only live once. We’re reminded to take advantage of the days we’re given, but how exactly do we do that? Some people focus on finding happiness, and while that’s not a bad idea, the definition of happiness is different for everyone, so we have to figure out what makes us happy. To do that, we need to experience life in all its glory—the exciting and the mundane, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad. The search might lead to peace and contentment, purposefulness, action and excitement, higher knowledge, or caretaking. We all seek these things to one degree or another, but there’s often one desire that becomes the primary focus. Before retirement, that focus is often our job or career. But after we retire, we discover that life changes and our primary focus seems to disappear. And that’s when the exploration begins again. That’s when we find new things that challenge us or just make us smile. As we get older, it’s easy to become consumed with our health and taking care of ourselves. We may change our diet, take prescriptions to treat medical conditions, and focus more on physical fitness. But while we’re working so hard to increase our life span, what are we doing to appreciate and make the most of that time? Those are the questions On with the Butter invites us to entertain.”
On With the Butter!: Spread More Living Into Everyday Life by Heidi Herman is in essence a self help guide full of useful tips and insights to living everyday to the fullest- especially for those who have reached retirement age. Full of wonderful anecdotes, personal thoughts/stories/and experiences- this book aims to inspire you with lots of ideas, challenges and activities- and also provides a list of resources to help you along the way. This was not only entertaining, but also thought-provoking, informative, educational, relatable, easy to read and understand, genuine, and interesting. It encourages the reader to embrace the thought of trying new things, stepping outside your comfort one, and challenging yourself- you may just find that these suggestions bring a little fun and purpose into your world, and enhance your life in the process. With each chapter focusing on a particular topic- there is plenty of ‘food-for-thought’ here. Things such as: Just Say Yes, Use Innovation, Walk on the Wild Side, Celebrate Family & Heritage, Take the Scenic Route, Keep Learning, Taste Life, Give Time, Be a Hometown Tourist, Enjoy the Simple Things, Explore Nature, Be Bold, Be Playful, Just Keep Moving, and Try Something New. So, what are you waiting for- grab a copy and…. On With The Butter!

Recently I have started reading historical romance books. This story is a historical romance with a twist. Bianca Blythe does an amazing job with this plotline. I felt engaged throughout the story. Her descriptive writing style makes a beautiful picture in my mind’s eye. This story is about Sebastian and Genevieve’s story, These characters are fully developed and are easy to relate to. Genevieve is a young woman who is living in a cottage with her mother and young brother, They are down on their luck. She is renting from Sebastian’s family. Sebastian comes home to find out that the cottage is being rented to someone he does not care for, to say the least. Then there is a swimming accident involving Sebastian and the tides turn. Genevieve’s mother is trying to take advantage of the situation. Will Genevieve’s mother’s plans work? Will Sebastian ever remember what is going on? Will Genevieve’s family welfare become better since the accident? I highly recommend this book to find out the answers to these questions and more.

I’ll See You Again: A Scottish rock star, standalone opposites-attract romance (Reigning Hearts Book 4) by K.G. Fletcher
5 ++++++ Stars
I’m not even sure what else I can say about this author… She has a way with her words that grab me at the beginning of every book she writes and I find myself so invested in her characters and even her descriptions of the surroundings make me feel as though I have transported right there. Cold Creek is my favorite and I so so so want to live there. I’m so thankful we got one more story in Cold Creek and still got a little of the magic the town gave me in A Sun so Bright with Fiona and Chris still being present.
*sigh*
Mac and Nicky… I met Nicky in A Sun So Bright also and hoped she would get her own story and holy moly what a story it was. I love everything this author does but I must say I think this one just might be my favorite, it all started with me singing the dedication…i was lost in the story before reading the first word. I love Scotland and everything that implies, so Mac was an instant love. The emotions this book brought out were both awesome and heartbreaking and I found myself reading at times with tears I didn’t even know were falling. I also laughed out loud at one of the scenes totally imagining it in my mind, scared to death that that one would come back to haunt them later, not realizing there was something much bigger at play.
The connection in this book between Mac and Nicky was instant in a way that made me feel like it could happen that way, it didn’t feel rushed, it felt real. A Lot transpires, can this young relationship stand a chance?
Read anything and everything you can from this author… This series is a definite must read for me and will also be sitting on my bookshelf in the very near future!

This is the 8th book in the Ash Park series and just like the others are gripping from the beginning.the characters are so well written you can’t help but feel the same emotions as they do. Even though this is the 8th book you can read it as a standalone as the characters are clear to understand however there are little flashbacks to previous books that may not make sense if you haven’t read them. That being said they don’t take anything away from this book or make it confusing.
We are back with Petrosky on the hunt for a killer. When a woman turns up dead and mutilated he fears this maybe a serial killer. He thinks his suspicious are confirmed when another woman turns up. Is this the same killer or a copycat?
With no leads to follow things take another twist when his boss is kidnapped. After helping Petrosky battle his demons this case now takes on a personal aspects. When he won’t bend to the kidnappers demands its now a race against time to save the one person who cared for him.

Alamir: Blood of Kaos Series by Nesa Miller is a unique darker fantasy story and Nesa has done a great job with its development and weaving the tangled web to give us something that is enthralling and engrossing. Alamir is full of danger and action, adventure and drama and let’s not forget the fantasy and paranormal. The characters are complex, fully developed people and they are very well written, you can’t help but like them. Nesa’s world building is great and so vivid that it is easily imaginable, and the plot is spot on.
It is a great start to a series and I very much look forward to the next book.

A Duke Never Forgets is the third book in the Duke Hunters Club series by Bianca Blythe. I have not read a historical romance in quite a few years, but this was a great one to return to this genre with. The story is well written and the characters are well defined. Sebastian and Genevieve have chemistry, and the witty banter is fun to read. This is the first book I have read by Bianca Blythe, but definitely won’t be the last. I think I will go back and read the first two books in this series. Review by @sunbarn

Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress (The MacLellan Sisters Trilogy Book 1) by Lucinda Race is a wonderful romance story. It is nice to read something that is original and different from the norm. The story flows nicely although at times it seemed a little rushed but you are soon swept away on the journey from Vermont to Scotland and I love Scotland so it was easy to see the author’s vision. I loved the family dynamics and camaraderie, their support and friendship and family bonds to each other.
The story focuses around the MacLellan sisters and a wedding dress with a legend.
I am looking forward to see what Lucinda gives us next.

“Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all”, except this time, the magic is not in the mirror, but is on the onlooker of the mirror, who is to don a specific attire. The seeker is supposed to try on a “wedding dress” and look into the mirror to foresee her prince charming. The series is a trilogy about three sisters, which makes me think that each book belongs to one sister. The plot of the first book revolves around the oldest sister Jamie. Jamie along with the two sisters Grace and Kenzie visits her grandparent’s homestead in Scotland, after their grandmother passes away. Their father inherits the farm. Their grandmother leaves them a wedding dress, their family heirloom as an inheritance to the sisters along with a letter and a brooch. The sisters first laugh it off, but out of curiosity, the oldest, Jamie tries the wedding dress just to know if the mirror will show her current date as her prince charming. But the fate, the wedding dress and the mirror have a surprise planned for her when she is caught unaware between two twins, one who fits her requirements perfectly and the other who stirs her heart. Whom will Jamie choose? A very sweet romance story, perfect to be made as a rom-com movie. Loved it. And a story which also explores the relationship between the three sisters.

Love Song: A friends-to-lovers rock & roll romantic suspense by KG Fletcher. This is far from my first book by this amazing author but I’ll be honest it may just me my favorite so far. I’m a sucker for a friends to lovers story especially when you throw in a bit of drama and danger. Sam and Casey grabbed my attention from the first page and I couldn’t put this book down until I reached the end. Each character is so well written I pictured them easily and it was even easier for the entire story to come alive before my eyes with each page. This is a book I could read again and again. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. And the characters are complex and easy to connect with. I’m giving this story a five star review and I highly recommend.

This is my first book by Lisa Wood. It was a love story starring Olivia and Gabe. Olivia has had men trouble and finds running from the situation is her way to deal. Gabe is a top lawyer in NY. She ends up working with his firm as romantic feelings begin, she needs to decide if Gabe is someone she can trust or if she’ll be back where she was before NY- Shattered. All the characters are well developed and well written. I’m interested to see what the next book brings. There were a few more editing mistakes than I felt should have been but it was a good story.

Well, what a read to be introduced to this amazing author! This book had me hooked and captivated from the very beginning. This author has created a read that is a mentally visual, it’s easy to picture the entire read in your head as you dive into this world, and get lost within the pages. This fantasy read has magic, secrets, romance, mystery and danger! It has characters that are easy to connect to and I absolutely loved following their journey and seeing a story with a fantasy character such as dwarfs brought together with humans. This is an excellent read that I can’t wait to see what else this author brings! I highly recommend this read!

I really enjoyed this romantic novel with a magical twist, it’s book one in a trilogy by Lucinda Race which centres around the MacLellan sisters. Jamie, Kenzie and Grace are sisters who are all independent, feisty and single. This novel concentrates on Jamie who at the beginning of the story vows that she will never get married. However all that changes when an enchanted wedding dress from her great-grandmother arrives. The wedding dress is a family heirloom which is also supposedly enchanted. Family legend says that any descendant of their great-grandmother who tries the dress on will see her future revealed in the mirror. Unable to resist her curiosity Jamie try’s the beautiful dress on, and to her astonishment she sees a shadow of a man in the mirror. Jamie does not believe that Steve, the lawyer she has been dating is that man and when his twin brother Caleb arrives she instantly knows that it’s Caleb who is the man she’s fated to be with. As well as having to overcome the fact that she is already dating his brother, Jamie also has to decide what she wants her future to be, as Caleb lives a vagabond life. As well as the romance between Jamie and Caleb the storyline also focuses on the relationships between the very different but very loyal sisters. I loved all three of the sisters characters and enjoyed getting to know Jamie in this novel and look forward to finding out more about Kenzie and Grace over the next two books in this series. I found this to be a wonderfully written story with lovely characters that I really cared for and I felt immersed in their world whilst reading this story. It’s an easy read as the storyline flows along nicely and the plot has enough going on in it that it kept me happily turning the pages. Lucinda Race is a new author to me and I am pleased to have discovered her and I look forward to reading future books by her. ‘Old and New’, is a lovely whimsical family drama and romance which is a perfect book to escape into and one which I definitely recommend.

The Lightning Horse (Empire at Twilight Book 1 ) By N.L. Holmes 4 Stars!!!!
This is the first book by this author I have read and I was not let down. I really like books that are based on historical events and peoples. I like how the author was able to bring the characters to life. There was drama mixed in with bits of intrigue and draws the reader in. I was unable to put this book down.
I really like how there are a lot of twist and turns. I also like how this being the first book really sets up the series to come. I found that the author has a unique style and is able to wind the story around the characters and the sort of dangled ending to this first book really leaves the reader wanting more . I will definitely read more from this author as well as this series. I am quite eager to see how it will progress.
House Valdis Origins Xenobia by Naomi Valkyrie 4 Stars!!!!
I have to say that this is a refreshing change to my normal genre. I really found this book to be intersting and was really hooked from the beginning. This is the first book by this author that I have read and I was not let down. The characters really jump right from the pages and I felt as though I was part of the action.
I found the story line to be quite original. The book was filled with drama and just balanced out right with a few twists in the story. I think that this is a great prequel to an existing series that I look forward to reading. I like how you get to understand just where the character is coming from and what has happened to create who they have become. I am glad that in a way I am actually reading a series in the right order. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
The first thing I have to say about Secure Desire is simply awesome! I really really loved this book, I don’t know what I was expecting when I first started but it wasn’t such an enthralling read. Cassie Modine is a strong, independent FBI Special Agent. Her whole life was changed after being made an orphan as a teen then when she experienced a traumatic night 6 years previously that she has no memory of, when she is confronted by her past those who have hurt her decide to ensure that their secrets stay buried. Ian Chase is a billionaire ex-Navy SEAL who now runs his own security firm, by chance he meets Cassie again and his special skills are needed to ensure that she stays safe. This was a really fast paced and action-packed story with lots of twists that I definitely didn’t see coming, I just couldn’t put it down until I knew the truth. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
