Again another absolutely wonderful read from this author! I have loved every single book of hers that I have read. A Kiss Beneath a Strawberry Moon was such a heart-warming and emotional read. I fell in love with the characters, Marielle and Drew straight away. I took them both into my heart and I was on the edge of my seat whilst devouring their story with all of its twists and turns. Drew was such a thoughtful and caring character and when he and Marielle met I knew how I wanted their story to turn out! Both of these characters really go through an emotional time in this story and the author did such an amazing job of conveying their feelings across to me as the reader, I really felt like I was there at times in the story. Her writing is always beautifully detailed – one of the many things I love about her! I 100% recommend this story and as always I look forward to more from her!

Irresistible Valentine is a great anthology of 8 romantic stories from 9 different authors. I am not going to review all 8 stories but have chosen 2 to focus on. My review will be of Two Hearts Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson and The Player by Jacquie Biggar. Both are authors that I have read before and these were the 2 stories that I was most looking forward to reading. Two Hearts Reconnaissance is set in Dragonfly Pointe, the location of many other novels by Tamara Ferguson and brings back some characters from other stories. This was a heartbreaking story which explores child abuse and child trafficking. I was totally gripped to the story of Harry Giordano and Eve Loughlin both of whom have had terrible childhoods in various foster homes. Eve has now reconciled with her birth mother and Harry (and his foster sister Amy) have been taken in by Gabe and Lucy Giordano. This story takes you from their first meeting at age 13 to them meeting again as adults and a lot in between. Although not a full length novel, Tamara Ferguson packs so much into this story. The Player by Jacquie Biggar is set in the ice hockey world. Star player Roy is being hounded by a crazy ex-girlfriend who is spreading lies about him and it’s affecting his career. Enter PR woman Patience who is hired to improve his public persona. This is a great story which will have you laughing at the antics of Roy and Patience. Roy does everything he can to annoy and rile Patience and she just falls into his trap everytime. Can she help fix his career or will the crazy ex get her way?
Beautiful book, sweet, sexy, painful and heartbreaking all in one. The characters and storyline are perfect. I love stories about falling in love with brother’s best friend, and this one was great because of all the background issues. My heart ached for Sam and Sadie in regards to their grandmother. I can’t decide who I felt more loss for, Sam, with the way he and his life spiraled out of control or Sadie, who seemed conflicted due to her brother’s actions and words as well as dealing with her relationship and feelings for Archer. Archer was a total prince, in that he was always there for Sadie, and always wanted to be around her to help her with anything. I could see how much love he had for her. The ending was rough, it left me hoping for a second book, maybe to see how Sam changes his life. I was thinking maybe he may end up getting involved with Sadie’s friend Rory, but being introduced to Archer’s cousin Lyssa at the end gets me wondering if maybe her and Sam…. I would highly recommend this book.

Mountains Series Boxed Set:(Books 1-3) By Phoebe Alexander
5 +++ But deserves way more
This series has tore my emotions to absolute shreds, if you want to sit down and get completely immersed in a heart stopping story full of drama, love, heat, heartbreak, smiles, tears and mountain climbing then grab these 3 books which have been conveniently boxed together for you, find a quiet place, grab your drink of choice and grab a hold and hang on.
Mountains Wanted book 1 – I have to say that this story was 99.99999999999% perfect, whatever percentage is left in that number is solely based on the fact that I have never wanted inside a man’s mind more than I wanted in this one. I’ve read a million books in my life and many are from just one POV and that’s ok and awesome, but this one for some reason I just needed to know what he was thinking. He felt like such a mystery to me. If I wanted anything more from this story that would have been it. This story was so full of emotion and I felt it deep, I also feel like I won’t make it stopping to write this review, I need to jump in to the next NOW!
Mountains Climbed book 2 – Oh Dear Lord this author is trying to kill me! I can not even with her right now!
One thing I wanted more than anything after reading the first of this series was to be able to hear from James and Oh My Word I got that in this part…I can not even imagine his struggle, the back and forth that was twisting his thoughts and emotions therefore twisting mine.
Then Sarah, Oh My Heart! While reading both of these books but especially this one her feelings jumped right off the pages and planted themselves in my heart…
Mountains Loved book 3 – ***sigh***
I have so many conflicting emotions with this book….I don’t think I have ever in all my years of reading wanted to crawl into a book and hit somebody upside the head as bad as I wanted to in this book. This is an ongoing story so please don’t try to read this as a standalone, there is so much substance you will be missing if you do that. I will not go into any detail regarding the storyline so as not to spoil anything from the first 2 books. I have such a high respect for Sarah, i could feel the torment she went through at times as if it were me in the story, her strength to do what her head told her to do even though her heart was shattered was so brave, classifying her as one of the strongest people i have ever read About.
One of my favorite series of all time…Please dont click past these books…They are simply Amazing!!

OH MY GOODNESS!! OH MY GOODNESS!! This story is one of the best stories I have read in a long time. Theresa Sederholt can build a world in her writings that I was catapulted into. Her character development is complex. Her plot line is engaging and I could not put the book down until I finished it. This story is about Dane. He has a secret that he does not want to come out of his closet, but that may be happening. He is on a fast lane to hell. Will Dane be able to climb his way out of hell? Can he remain strong? I highly recommend this book.

This is a great collection of short stories written by some great authors. Each author has written their version of Red Riding Hood. Each one is different, each one will have you turning pages fast. My favorite is by Autumn Sand – Ruby. This is a creative story about hope, love, betrayal and second chances. I won’t say too much other than it was an awesome story. What happens when you lose everything only to have something so much stronger come into your life? I highly recommend this anthology, it was worth picking it up. I found some new authors as well as a few favorites and I think you will too.
I enjoyed this book and it is one of my favorites by this author yet. This is a creative, well written story that pulled me in right from the beginning. Her attention to details made me feel as if I was part of the story. Her characters are connectable and their chemistry is awesome. It was only supposed to be one night and what a steamy night that was. Dan had given up hope that he would ever see Kayla again until he found her two doors down. She had a secret to keep until he showed up at her door and shattered her. They are strong characters that are supportive of each other and honestly, kept me turning pages. I highly recommend their story.

I truly enjoyed these stories which are based on Red Riding Hood. They pull you in and I found myself not wanting the put them down. I love anthologies as I have a chance to read stories by authors I am familiar with, but also new authors as well. Some stories are steamy and others romantic. They didn’t disappoint and I would recommend reading this anthology. There is one story that I found myself falling in love not only with the story but the characters as well. It is:
Ruby Autumn Sand 5 out of 5 stars
I absolutely loved reading this version of Red Riding Hood. The story is romantic and sensual. It is a story that had me hooked from the first chapter to the last. I loved the character of Ruby. She is a woman who is dealing with a lot in her life. Will the man that she meets help her? Read the story to find out. The story is about temptation, seduction, and looking inside yourself. I found that the story ended far too soon, and I wanted to know what the future holds for Ruby. The author has done an amazing job of making you feel like you are right there with the character. This story is a favorite of mine in this anthology
How Could I Forget (Plentiful in Love Book 1) By N.D. Jackson 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story How Could I Forget (Plentiful in Love Book 1) by N.D. Jackson. The book had me hooked from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the ending. It is a story that had my emotions going up and down while I was reading. I loved the characters of Kayla and Dan. Kayla is independent, strong, and caring. She never forgot about Dan and the one night that they shared together. Much to her surprise she now finds him in the same town. How will Dan showing up change her life? Dan is a man who is successful in his life. He didn’t think that he would see the beautiful young woman that he has never forgotten about. Would she give him a second chance? What does the future hold for Kayla and Dan? Read this book to find out. I enjoyed reading about the chemistry that Kayla and Dan still had for each other. They can’t seem to keep away from each other. I grew to care about them with each chapter that I read, and I wanted them to find happiness. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are introduced. This is a book that had me smiling or laughing at times as well as wondering how it all was going to end. Don’t miss out on the wonderful story of Dan and Kayla. Highly recommended reading.

Jackson – Review by Laura Furuta
I really fell in love with this story! It has you laughing one minute and crying the next. The book follows the love story between Archer and Sadie, who have to hide their blossoming romance from Sadies overprotective twin brother Sam. Archer and Sadie have amazing chemistry…….oh boy are they hot! But there are a lot of heartfelt emotions that go along with it. Archer and Sadie are both strong lead characters which, for me, makes this book even more enjoyable. Both had their ups and downs, but they were there to support each other. This was my first time reading anything by this author, but definitely not the last. I am very much hoping for a sequel to follow the story of Archer, Sadie and Sam.

Wow what a story. Is it possible for two people who have been enemies all their lives to become lovers and fall in love?
Gabby and Christian have hated each other for years, but as Gabby is Christian’s sisters best friend they both agree to call a truce on her birthday. Little did they realise that the truce would open up to other things and lead them both down a road neither expected to travel.
This story is full of intense passion as they hatred turns to firey passion and also deep intense love. Can they love each other as much as they once hated each other.

I’ve followed this series from the very start & the third Book is by far the best one out of the series. This series should be read in order to get the best possible reading experience! This book is a continuation of James and Sarah’s story and they’re are learning that even though life is currently good, there will always be another Mountain to climb. They have to decide if this challenge is the end for them or will they learn that the HEA they’ve been searching for is worth fighting for? This story had amazing characters and the author kept me interested and invested in the story from the very beginning. I am so looking forward to reading more by this author! I would recommend this Book to a friend who loves romance! Happy Reading!

5 Star FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY: Flowers in December, Coming Home, Second Chance by Jane Suen This is an amazing Trilogy that I absolutely loved reading and had a hard time putting it down. This trilogy is about love,loss, and second chances. Get ready to be taken on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride with these three stories. There are moment that absolutely broke my heart but then there were moments that warmed my heart. This Author does an amazing job with the details and the characters are very well developed and easily relatable. They show us Mary Ann and Carter’s relationship and their struggles. I simply can’t recommend this Trilogy enough. It’s a must read!

The Flowers in December Trilogy is a collection of Flowers in December, Coming Home and Second Chance by Jane Suen. I have read most of her books, as I really enjoy them. This series started off slow for me, but by the end I was glad to have read it.
Flowers in December by Jane Suen was a good book, with a hard topic. It is about a man who returns home, after his mother’s death, to handle her affairs and estate. He must confront his past, and decide on his future. Does he want to sell his parents house, and continue his life, which is often empty and lonely? Or take a risk and move back to his small home town, that he fled from as soon as he turned 18? The author does a good job of addressing the hard topics, and feelings associated with death of a parent. We can see and feel Connor grieve, and work his way through loss, lonliness and regret. I enjoyed the characters and their relationships, and the small town feel. Connor seemed a little immature to me, but he flowed with the story. The author did a good job developing the town, including businesses and supporting characters. I have read other works by this author, and while it was not my favorite, I still give it 4 stars and would recommend it to others. While it dealt with some heavy topics, it scratched the surface and kept it mild and cheerful enough for a younger audience to enjoy, and I think that was the intention of the author. I loved the ending, but I wont spoil it.
Coming Home didn’t end the way I wanted it to, but it left it open for the 3rd book. I kept expecting, and hoping for 2 things to happen, that didn’t. I can’t say what, as it is a spoiler, but just be warned, don’t get your hopes up for a sappy romantic ending. I love the part of the story regarding Alana and her mother, but Mary Ann’s story didn’t end as expected. But, anyone who has read any of the authors books knows that’s normal. She always seems to put a twist in at the end which I sometimes love and sometimes want to scream, in a true page turner fashion. The story continues to follow Connor Norton, after he and his cat, Tom return to his childhood home. In the previous book, his mother passed away, and he is still grieving. He has to make some decisions about the next steps for his life, and rekindles some friendships along the way.
Second Chance is the Conclusion of the Flowers in December trilogy. All 3 books are short and sweet. I’m glad for the wrap up and happy ending for Connor and Mary Ann. Connor has been struggling since his mother passed away, trying to find his place in the world. He was left with her house and her cat, and memories, which caused a lot of internal struggle for him. We go into this final book knowing of his crush on Mary Ann, and her struggle with her feelings. Connor thinks he ruined his chances when he went back to the city, and is debating if he should fight to win her back. This was my favorite book in the series, because I could see both characters mature and be strong. Set aside a weekend, cuddle up with a blanket and tea, and knock out the whole series.

5 Star TWO HEARTS UNLIKELY HEROES (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 8) by Tamara Ferguson
Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes is the ninth book in the Wounded Warrior Romance Series although it can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading this series in order you won’t be disappointed I know I haven’t been. This Author is one of my favorite go to authors her style of writing grabs ahold of you from the beginning and doesn’t let up till the end.Her characters are very well developed and easily relatable. This is Ben and Samantha’s story ,these two meet in Iraq by chance but there’s a weird connection between them . A few years later down the road they run into each other again but she’s avoiding him .He doesn’t know why. She just can’t seem to get past the feeling that there’s more than meets the eye to Ben. What will happen when the truth comes out? Can they have their HEA? Find out what happens next in this must read. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.
Out of the Shadows is the first book I have read by Theresa Sederholt, but it won’t be the last. This book needs a strong disclaimer/warning because it has some graphic descriptions of abuse. However, as long as you are not triggered by that, then you should read it! It is terrifying and heartbreaking to read, but at the same time I couldn’t put it down. The book is wonderfully written, alternating views as well as present time and past story. The book follows Dane Johnson in his fight to escape an abusive wife. He has dealt with it for years, and strives to protect their son from it, but it has reached a point that enough is enough. He fears the stigma attached to male victims and worries he won’t be believed or the story will be twisted against him. But sometimes all you need is one person to stand by you and help you through it. This is that story.

I’ve truly enjoyed reading this series and getting to know the Lawson family. And this latest installment was another heartfelt ride. Cramer-Kelly does a beautiful job weaving a story together that is relatable (even if I’ve never been a music star or worked in that industry). The characters have so much heart and are beautifully crafted to make their way into the reader’s heart quickly and completely. A great story from start to finish and one I will definitely recommend.

Imagine knowing that your whole life you’ve been adopted. You know you’ve been well taken care of, loved, and supported but it’s not quite enough. That’s what Lisa has to come to terms with. She has so man unanswered questions when it comes to her birth family. She needs to find out what is the story behind her birth mom. It’s a journey she feels deep within her soul. She knows she can’t do this alone, so she turns to Marcus. He’s loved her for so long, and he’d do anything for her. But the question is, when the truth comes out will she embrace it, and him?
My heart hurt for her as she found out who her father really was, and losing her birth mother all in one shot. I couldn’t imagine having to deal with all that mess on top of finding out you’re not really who you think you are. Her love for Marcus really made a difference to not only her journey but his as well. They both were dealt with such heartache before they even knew what it was. It’s a beautiful story that is well written, intriguing and full of twists. I can’t wait to get started on the next book in the series!

I’m convinced that Ferguson never can outdo herself and yet somehow she always does. This latest installment was one I knew I would love and boy was I ever right. These books give me all the feels – from romance to military pride to intrigue and suspense… there is just simply something here that will resonate with most. Samantha was an amazing heroine that stuck with me. Just adored it.
Moonlit Mirage was a short quick read. I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into reading this. This book was a rockin rollercoaster of events. I thought the book was well written. Very well written actually. Sometimes I feel an author tries to hard to fit so much into such a short book but this was not the story here. This book had so much suspense and I just kept scrolling to see what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed reading about Nadia and Cade. This book was a great read!
This is a story that everyone should read. I am a victim of domestic violence and I honestly never thought about it from the perspective of the male being the victim. This book really made me think about how that would look. Where would they go? Do they have the resources that are available to women? Who would believe them? And having children in that situation is a million times worse! I made it through this story unscathed…or so I thought. As soon as I read the last sentence and closed the book it all hit me. I balled like a baby! Getting to know Dane’s story deeply touched my soul.
This is a quick read that will not only make you think but will have you wanting to reach out and find ways to help. To see what your communities are lacking and what you can do about it. It will open your mind and touch your heart. Domestic violence and mental illness are more common than you know. This story touches on some very serious scenarios that are at times difficult to read about but it is well worth it to read every word. Grab this one up. You will be glad you did!

Rockin’ It Home is the third book in the Lawson Family series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly. This is my favourite of the series so far- taking us on a journey and experiencing everything right alongside the characters. The story It is about facing the past, second chances, finding love unexpectedly, new beginnings, and family. It is infused with plenty of emotion, and sprinkled with just enough drama to keep things interesting. As always, Ms. Cramer Kelly has crafted endearing characters, who are fully realised individuals, with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws. I couldn’t help connecting with them and rooting for them the whole way through. Benjamin Lawson was born to perform- he lives for the stage and how it makes him feel. But his life has been a bit complicated, and he hasn’t always made the right choices. He knows he needs to stay on track as there is a lot at stake if he doesn’t. But that doesn’t mean he needs a babysitter…. Does it? Danielle DeLuca can think of quite a few other things she’d rather be doing than playing ‘nanny’ to a spoiled Rockstar. But she doesn’t have much choice when work has been difficult to find. But, things don’t always go according to plan- especially when feelings are involved. Add in the Rockstar lifestyle, his precious 2 year old daughter, groupies, over-zealous fans, emotion, dramatic developments, family dynamics, & dealing with the past- and things get really interesting! A wonderful addition to the series- looking forward to more!

Out of the Shadows by Theresa Sederholt is a book that will stay with you for a while. It rips you apart and leaves you laying in pieces. It will also give you hope. From the first book I picked up by this writer, I have gone back each time another of her books pops up on my radar. She has her way with words, the images she paints in your mind are powerful and they stay with you. She is not afraid to tackle sensitive subjects and when she does, she takes such care that you feel cared for. Out of the Shadows is another one of those subjects that are not so much talked about. She grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. You are there, with Brady and Dane, and you are confused first and once you realized what you have ‘walked into’, you are stuck … you cry, you laugh, you hope and you have a deeper understanding of what so many struggle with and what it takes to survive! I wish I could give more than 5 stars …

This is a series I have enjoyed from the first book, this one is my favorite yet so far. This author writes with such heart. They are a well written romance story that will leave you turning pages fast. The characters are supportive of each other, they make the story feel realistic. Ben has always felt at home on stage but when he gets a keeper it could be his last chance to keep the only thing that matters to him. The last thing Danielle wants is to be a keeper to Ben but when things turn bad will she teach him that home is really where the heart is? They are great strong characters and I loved their chemistry. I highly recommend their story.

IRRESISTIBLE VALENTINE is a sweet and fun romance anthology from so many wonderful authors you really can’t go wrong! I have loved reading several of these ladies for quite some time but and delighted that I have also had the chance to discover a few new ones to love. I mainly scooped this up for the Two Hearts inclusion from Tamara Ferguson so that will be my in depth review below but the others were just as fabulous to read and I look forward to finishing out the last few novels included soon! Anthologies always make the season going on around me that much more special and often make great gifts. I found myself enamored enough to gift a few of these this love season of Valentines. Hope you find some love as you read as well!
Two Hearts Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson is a sweet additon to her Two Hearts series that I have long loved now. This one brings us back to Crystal Rock and tells the story of Eve and Harry. Life and time has seperated these you loves but now the present brings them home and gives them a much needed second chance at love. Will they find the happily ever after they so desire?
The rest of the novels are wonderful and included as:
Holy hotness! Yessssss! I loved this novel! This was my first experience reading Katerina Ross but I can tell you I will be back for more! This book was non stop, it kept me hooked from the very first chapter until the bittersweet last pages. Dragomir Vucovic… yummy much? This alpha is one you don’t want to miss reading. Dragomir is a solitary man that is keeping his head barely above water after a curse is put on him. When he meets the sexy and intriguing Ida he never expected to have her steal his heart. These two were supposed to have the one hot night but will things change and these two get a chance at a love story with a happy ending? That is just something you will have to find out for yourself. Run don’t stall go grab this novel and devour it, you won’t be disappointed that you did. I am off to find me some more hot goodies from Ms. Ross.

I have had the pleasure of reading most of the other Italian Teens novels from Gaia B Amman and I have really enjoyed them. I always know I am in for a bit of traveling treat when I pick up a novel of hers. She manages to write with such passion and flare that you often feel as if you are right there with the main characters as they experience things first hand. This one was so unique though and I loved the story we got about Nico and Leda. Leda is very much like myself so it was neat to read about a relatable teen female lead in the times I spent most of my years as a teen, the 90s. You were never once bored and the underlying story line flowed beautifully. I look forward to seeing what we will get in the future from Gaia B Amman!

Amman – Review by Liz Vrchota
Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes by Tamara Ferguson is the ninth book in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although the whole series is worth your time. As with the other books in this series this one was well written with lasting, interesting characters. You know instantly that Sam and Ben are going to be characters that you get behind. Their connection is instant and it is palpable. This author is one of those that you always know you will get a good book! It doesn’t matter which one of hers I pick up I always enjoy them all, and this one is no exception.
I absolutely adore this series! Book 9 and I am still loving it every time the author brings out a new one! I love her writing, it captures my attention from the beginning – the stories are full of action, romance and always wonderful characters that I always fall in love with straight away! Two Hearts Unlikely was no exception! I was hooked from beginning to end. Sam and Ben’s story was a wonderful read – from the moment they met I knew there would be something special between them. Their initial meeting was full of action and I was left wondering how this story was going to play out! I loved watching the characters navigate the world of terrorists and the danger that surrounded them. The authors writing is in depth and detailed and I always feel like I am right there in the story at times. – This is one of the reasons why I never hesitate in picking up a book by her! I am already looking forward to her next release!
As a fan of Amy McKinley’s ‘Gray Ghost’ series I was looking forward to this first book in her new ‘Moonlit Destination’ series and this novel definitely did not disappoint. A fairly short book at only 80 pages it is packed full of action and has a great storyline. Nadia Bennett has Cade Malone under surveillance when she acts against her orders and rescues him when he has a car accident. They both share a once in a lifetime connection but although the chemistry between the two is instant and reciprocated due to the reasons why Nadia was there at the time, saving him will have to do and she has to walk away. However Cade never forgets the ‘underwater angel’ who saved him all those years ago and so when a chance encounter under the moonlight brings the couple together again he is determined not to let her get away this time. Nadia also recognises their chemistry and can not walk away again and so risks everything to be with him, unfortunately a dark secret from her past could destroy their relationship. This novel had me gripped from page one and I could not put it down, full of adventure, excitement, suspense, past secrets and romance it is a fast paced read, all with the breathtaking Cook Islands as it’s backdrop. The author takes you on an emotional rollercoaster but thankfully it does have a happy ever after ending. For readers of the ‘Gray Ghost’ novels there is a crossover between the books however you do not need to have read them to enjoy this book. I look forward to reading further books in this series by Amy McKinley.
