I have a guilty pleasure in step romances and I don’t know where it started! This book was to be right up my alley and it was for the most part. Bailey and Cooper are who this is about and the story itself was good but the actions taking place didn’t sit well with me. I like my heroines to be strong and have some sort of a backbone and she just took whatever attention she got, good or bad. I know it’s played off of how her father wrote her off as a kid but I just wanted to shake them both and say you’re being idiots. This ends on a cliffhanger so I’ll be waiting for the next book. Just all seem immature and I hope with their age now at the end it changes in the next book.

New Jerk in Town: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy is the second book in Sylvie Stewart’s Carolina Kisses series. I have read her Carolina Connections series before so it was good to bump into some familiar faces as well. I have always loved spin-offs/series where we meet the old favorites! You can read the story as a standalone but if you love Carolinas and the small towns and feeling good, I suggest that you don’t only read the first of the Carolina Kisses series but also dip into Carolina Connections! We meet a grumpy Milo who is raising his teenage niece after returning to his home town … he is also trying to figure out what to do with his life and then, suddenly, a blast from the past, Jill, has also returned to the town … it blows one’s mind how their story is filled with misunderstandings and it is going to take quite a bit to sort them out as both of them are stubborn like hell and can argue until the cows come home and then leave again! There are so many other supporting characters that make the story a charm to read and I promise you will not want to put it down until you have come to the end AND you will want to go and check out the other books that are ‘related’ to Milo and Jill’s story so plan some binging time!

Bottomed Out by Brooke May is such a great read. I enjoyed this book from the first page. I loved how strong of a character Jax is. He definitely defied the odds. He may not have his dream career but he has a great job and is great at it. His friends cheered him on every step of the way. When every thought he couldn’t do it, he did it and did it well.
He was always a stud but now, his luck has changed. When he meets Lennox, his luck changes. Jax and Lennox have chemistry right away. The only issue is her brother!!! He tries everything. He’s a very overprotective brother but, is Jax willing to give up and let him win? I loved the characters in this book and I loved the storyline. This was a great feel good read to show the average person , no matter what happens, you can always overcome just about anything.

Bottomed Out (Moto X Book 4) by Brooke May 4 Stars!!!!
I really have a bad habit of reading series out of order. This is the first book I have read from this author and I was not disappointed. I didn’t find it hard to keep up with what was going on or felt like I had missed anything. I really found the author’s style refreshing and the whole concept unique.
I really enjoyed the chemistry between Jax and Len. The characters really just came to life and I felt as though I was there as the story unfolded. There was just the right mix of drama and the romance. I found that everything just seemed to come together and I could not put the book down. I like how the author was able to incorporate Jax’s condition after his accident and how he was able to get back to his life. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future and this series.

Cynthia Hamilton has once again captivated me with her Third Read in the Madeline Dawkins Series Girl Trap! This book had me hooked from the very beginning. It’s a mentally visual read that has me on the edge of my seat with the twists and turns throughout. This read definitely needs to be read as part of the series, for the complete full effect of the storyline and characters and that you do not miss any vital information. This was an excellent read and can’t wait for more from this series!

Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson was my first experience reading anything by the author and I was really happy that I found her when I had finished this novel. I read it hoping this would be something I could also share with my twelve year old and was so excited when it read like a cute and sweet young adult read with a wee bit of suspense thrown in to entice the older children crowd. While this is a young adult novel or categorized as a children’s book I really enjoyed reading this as an adult and would love to find out what else is available from the author.
The story follows Grace, a young girl who sees ghosts and is perplexed by the vast amount that her town in particular has. She is determined to find out what is wrong and to help the spirits that she interacts with. I really enjoyed the mysterious and adorable ghost cat that seems to be her sidekick too. I think this is a fun story to share with my kids and look forward to finding her other novels soon!

A Book Signing to Die for by Judy Moore is a cosy mystery set on the Florida coast. Beck is a small business owner, running a book shop and café with her Granny, with some help from little sister Lizzie. They regularly host book signings with celebrity authors. One fateful night one of the customers is murdered after a signing and Beck takes it upon herself to investigate the incident as she feels that the police are on the wrong track. When Beck’s investigation starts to produce results, she needs to decide if justice is worth her own safety. I really liked this book; it was entertaining with some unexpected twists. I would recommend.

Stepbrother: Step Dilemma series book by Stacy McWilliams is a heart-breaking novel. I don’t think that a book has made me feel so many emotions in a long time. Bailey hasn’t had it easy, she has lost her brother and her dad doesn’t want any contact with her so it is just her and her mum, however when she find outs that her mum has met someone new and wants to start a new lift with him Bailey is thrown into a brand new family, complete with two new step brothers. Cooper and Bailey do not get off to a good start but when their relationship starts to evolve Bailey is subjected to so much heartbreak. I loved Bailey; she deserves so much more from life that what she has but I have to say I despised some of the other characters (it’s a good thing though as I was so emotionally invested in the story!) I loved this book, I went from swooning, to angry, to livid, to worried, to shocked all in a few pages. I highly recommend and cannot wait until book 2 comes out.

Dares & Dice (Spicetopia #5) By Phoebe Alexander 5 out of 5 stars
The story Dares & Dice (Spicetopia #5) by Phoebe Alexander is a book that is steamy and romantic. It is a story that pulls you in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. Ever since I read the first book in the series I have been hooked and this book is the next wonderful tale. I loved reading about the characters of Makenna Oakley and Ty Brooks. Makenna finds herself at Spicetopia for her bachelorette party. It is one of the wildest things she has ever done. Then she meets Ty. Ty is at Spicetopia for his bachelor party. It is a last fling before he has to settle down. Then he meets Makenna. They feel a connection and chemistry between them. Will they roll the dice with each other? What does the future hold? Read this book to find out. This is a story set in an adult theme park that goes out of its way to make sure the guests have a wild and fun time. There are steamy and unforgettable attractions wherever you turn. I enjoyed reading about the bantering that went back and forth between Ty and Makenna. I grew to care about them with each chapter that I read and wanted them to be happy. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that interacted with Ty and Makenna. This is a story that had me smiling and laughing out loud at some of the things that happen. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining book. I would recommend reading this story.

I had no idea what to expect from this book. It isn’t my usual read so it could have gone either way. To be honest, I wasn’t really into it at first. However, I stuck with it and it turned out to be a interesting story on the moral dilemma of how far to go when technology gives you access to people’s memories. With some suspense, philosophical deliberations, and a bit of romance, this is a great book for the YA genre.
This was a brilliant story full of drama, fun banter, friendships, steamy romance and so much more! This is novel that once you start you will struggle to put it down it really has that wow factor with a interesting storyline and amazing character’s. The storyline is engaging and a real big page turner so be prepared to read this all in one sitting! You can read this as a standalone but you really don’t want to miss the rest of the series absolutely fantastic!

Stepbrother is the first instalment in the Step Dilemma Series by Stacy McWilliams. I was not aware that this was a continuing series and wanted to scream when I came to the end of this book and saw the dreaded ‘to be continued’. I need to read the next part of this story ASAP. Bailey’s life is turned upside down when her mother announces her engagement to the very rich Shawn Christie. The good looking boy she’d seen at a school debate, who treated her badly is going to be her stepbrother. Bailey’s life at her new house and new school is hell. She’s treated as an outcast and her 2 new stepbrothers and stepfather treat her very badly. Even her mum causes her much heartache. This is a compelling story of the relationship between Bailey and her stepbrother Cooper. There’s a sizzling attraction between the 2 of them but Cooper treats her very badly, telling her that he hates her. Her Stepfather Shawn is convinced that there is something going on between the 2 of them and makes their life hell. There were so many times during this book that I hated Cooper and wanted to slap some sense into him, then there were moments when I just wanted to give him the biggest hug ever. I felt so sorry for Bailey who didn’t know which way to turn as one minute Cooper was telling her that he loved her and wanted to be with her and then he would be extremely nasty and say that he hated her and wanted nothing to do with her. Although this story starts when Bailey and Cooper are only 16, it spans many years and ends (leaving you hanging!) when they are 25. I cannot wait to see what is in store next for Bailey and Cooper.

Grace’s Ghostsis a fabulous middle school age children’s paranormal fantasy by Stephenie Wilson Peterson. It is a well woven tale of friendship, ghosts, an old curse, secrets, magic, mystery, and adventure. Ghosts are drawn to Grace, and ever since she was born they’ve sought her out, so having them around is nothing new to her. In fact, she gets on better with ghosts than she does the living. She’s a bit of a misfit with the other children her age, so all her good friends are ghosts. Her best friend is her cat, Midnight- and you guessed it, Midnight is also a ghost. Grace learns of a curse placed on her town by a witch hundreds of years ago. This curse keeps the souls of everyone, trapped, in the town. The ghosts desperately need Grace’s help to lift the curse- and so the adventure begins. Grace uncovers startling secrets and uncovers much more than she could ever have imagined. It is race against time to find a way to free the ghostly souls, before it’s too late. But considering all her friends are ghosts- where will that leave Grace if the curse is broken? Grace is a really sweet and caring young lady. I really liked her- and I thought Midnight was a really cute addition to the story. A great read!

Bottomed Out by Brooke May is book four of the Moto C series. This book was so easy to fall into. It was such a good read!
Jax is strong willed. He has always achieved what he set out to achieve. If he puts his mind to it, he can accomplish it. The one thing he hasn’t been able to do is make people see him for more than his disability. He doesn’t have that problem when Lennox walks into his life. Lennox is immediately drawn to him and doesn’t define him by his disability. The only problem is Lennox’s over protective brother. Jax accomplishes everything he sets out to do, will he be able to fight for Lennox?
These characters were so great! I fell in love with both Lennox and Jax and couldn’t help but root for them the whole time!

This is the third book in this series. I loved this one just as much as the previous books. This is a story that has well developed characters that bring the story to life. I had no issues connecting to them with each page I turned. What will happen when you have a vampire who wants to disappear but is intrigued by a witch and a strong bond? She gave him her blood to save him but will he be able to save her? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens between this vampire and witch. They have awesome chemistry and really make this story what it is. I also enjoyed how the secondary characters are supportive and add to the story. I highly suggest checking out this book and this author.

I enjoyed this story. This is not my first book by this author, it is one of my favorites by this author. This is a young adult story that has action, suspense and a mystical quest. I was pulled into the story right from the first chapter. I had no problems connecting with the characters as they brought the story to life. Megan is about to take on another quest. This one will bring conflict and having to try to control an athlete who has an attitude problem plus add a serial killer after wizards, you get a page turner.. This is a fast paced story that I had a hard time putting down. I highly recommend this book.

When two separate investigations seemed to be linked can Mike and Madeline get to the cause and help those who are lost in the wave of destruction.
We are back with Madeline and as usual she is busy with both businesses but when some asks her to open up a 12 year old case she jumps at the chance, but what lies between the investigation is worst than she could have ever imagined.
While Madeline is looking into the 12 year old boarding school case, Mike decides to investigate the missing persons of two people close to his cousin but when delving into the case he uncovers that the two cases may not be that far apart from each and that the two of them are going to get more than they bargained for when secrets start to become uncovered.
This story delves into the world of human trafficking and it leaves you wrestling with the couple to find the answers to the questions of what has happened to these people. I love the relationship between the main characters and there roles have developed through the two books and now the third. Although this flows quite nicely as a standalone book as Cynthia gives you a brief outline for the history of the previous stories I would recommend you to have read these books before hand, not just for the history but they are great stories too.
This story opens up Madeline to yet more heartache and please has this woman not gone through enough but she keeps sucking it up and carrying in which is one her best character traits. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story and thought that it had just the right amount of suspense to keep you wanting to read on to get to the end. I was not disappointed and can’t wait to read the final conclusion of this great series. Thank you for great stories and brilliant characters.

Wow this is such an emotional story that had me in tears. The characters are so relatable and the relationship between Rocky and Olive is so special. It handles a very sensitive subject in a careful and thoughtful way. And shows that secrets even when kept with good intentions aren’t always the right thing to do.
Rocky and his mother move to live with his grandfather after his dad passed away. Rocky’s mum told him that his dads heart just stopped but something doesn’t ring true to Rocky.
When Rocky starts hearing his dad’s voice he is sent on a mission to find out the truth about what really happened.
With the help of Olive then start uncovering the lies his mother and father used to protect him. The outcome is something he never imagined but the truth makes sense.

Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream by Joanne Patterson. I loved this book, the storyline and most definitely the characters. I found myself invested in Becky’s career and most certainly her life. I felt that at times, I was on a roller coaster of emotions. Becky has a lot going on in her career and her life and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. This was a new author to me and I can honestly say that I am looking forward to much more.

Boundaries (Scope of Practice) by Jessica Aiken-Hall
This book took some unexpected turns and had me hooked early on. Valerie is a social worker, who keeps people at a distance because of things that happened to her in her past. She does have a cat that she is very close to. She is told she has to run a trauma support group and she finds herself apprehensive in her ability to this. This story deals with some serious issues that might be difficult for some people. There are also other characters in this book that help bring this story to life. Valerie finds that some boundaries are getting blurred in certain situations. I don’t want to give anything away so I will just say that this is a must read and I cannot wait to find out what’s coming next. This is a well written story that has your emotions going up and down throughout the story. I highly recommend this book.

Stepbrother by Stacy McWilliams is the first book in the Step Dilemma series. It is a contemporary romance with drama, angst, and complex family dynamics. This is my first read by Ms. McWilliams, so I really didn’t know what to expect going into the story. I like to explore all kinds of stories and genres, so when this book popped up on my social media feed I thought “Why not?”. I think the cover is quite lovely, and found that Ms. McWilliams writes beautifully. But unfortunately, I just couldn’t get into this story. I didn’t, and couldn’t, connect with the characters at all. Although I really felt for Bailey and how she was treated by Cooper, as well as her family- I became really frustrated by her ‘doormat-ish’ attitude. Cooper was such a jerk and really annoyed me, so even when he improved, I was still so angry with him that he had no chance of winning me over. The characters were a little immature and childish for my liking- I spent a lot of the time just wanting to smack their heads together. I so wanted to love this book, but my head and heart just weren’t into it. I will give this a few weeks and then read it again, in the hopes that I was just having a bad book day this time around. Bailey and Conner’s story is set to continue in book #2.

Bottomed Out by Brooke May was a great 5 star read and book four in the Moto X series. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
Jax was a moto racer who had it all, women, money and so much more. That is until someone made a wrong move during a race and caused an accident that changed his whole life. He is tired of everyone giving him the pity looks at treating him differently. He is determined to prove that his disability won’t keep him down.
When he meets Lennox things change, she is just what he needs in his life. You can feel their connection come off the pages. She was a great character with a great personality. Only problem is her brother. Will he be able to make things work with Lennox?
Overall I really enjoyed this book. All of the characters were great. It can be read as a stand alone. If you’re looking for a great romance and a story about determination and moving forward this is the one for you. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson was an easy 5-star read. Grace was a magnificent character who had unique abilities. I loved following along as this young girl discovered herself, her family secret, and a way to end a curse. She changed so much from the start if the story and strengthened bonds as time went on. This book was magical and difficult to put down. This author amazed me with this book and I can’t wait to read more from her in the future. I recommend this book.

Bottomed Out is the fourth book in the Moto X series by Brooke May. This was a wonderful story between Jax Hunt and Lennox Austin. Jax is disabled and is just trying to prove he can do anything that a fully able person can. He wants to change and has a wonderful support system behind him in his friends and family. Just when he is willing to push the limit, Lennox comes into his life. His attraction to Lennox becomes just as important to him as his mission to prove the world wrong about his disability. Jax has an overprotective brother that could get in the way between him and Lennox, but is he willing to risk it all to reach his dreams and goals? The author did a magnificent job portraying Jax’s feelings. Throughout the whole story I was able to feel right along with him. Jax was a true inspiration and it was a great story of his personal growth. There was laughter, there were tears, and there were true heartwarming moments as I experienced the relationship of Jax and Lennox.

Boundaries is the opening act to Jessica Aiken-Hall’s Scope of Practice series that will haunt you for a very long time and you will look for the next one in the series, impatiently. I had read Jessica’s debut story when I picked up Boundaries so I prepared myself … She touches upon topics that are very painful, it tears your heart out and leaves you questioning the humanity. Boundaries gives us a social worker Valerie Williamson, who is introverted and overworked and … you so totally get her ways once you know what demons she battles herself. Her boss tells her to start a trauma support group and she doesn’t have a choice and of course the traumas the women in her group have experienced… well, yes, I have no issues with her breaking some of the boundaries that ordinary should not be broken … sometimes justice is simply not delivered … I hope Jessica does not keep us waiting too long as there are so many threads to be wove into a thrilling tapestry!

Summer’s Stolen (Seasons of Magic Book 2) By Sarah Biglow 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Summer’s Stolen (Seasons of Magic Book 2) by Sarah Biglow. It is a story that has mystery and magic. It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until I had finished the final page. This book had me hooked and wondering what was going to happen next. I loved reading about the character of Detective Ezri Trenton. Ezri is trying to balance her role as the Savior and her duties as a cop. When young girls in the community are reported missing, she is determined to solve the case and bring them home. This also has her teamed up with FBI Agent Cartwright. Can Ezri trust Agent Cartwright? Why are the young girls taken and will Ezri find them? Read this book to find out. One of the reasons that Ezri is such an amazing character is that she is strong, independent, kind, and when on a case has a fierce determination to solve it. I was rooting for Ezri the entire time. The author does a wonderful job of not only writing an amazing storyline, I felt like I was right there with Ezri. There are other characters that Ezri interacts with who I enjoyed reading about as they are helpful to the case and support Ezri. Others have an agenda and they must be stopped. Will they? Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining read. I highly recommend reading this book.

I felt like I was right there with Megan and those who are on the Quest with her. This is a book that had me wondering what was going to happen next. I grew to care about what happened to Megan and rooting for her to succeed. Many characters interact with Megan and I couldn’t help but wonder about some of their motives.

Don’t miss out on an awesome fantasy book that will have you hooked. I highly recommend reading it.
