Rewind by Rowan Shaw
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This book was so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I truly had a lot of anger when reading this book due to the constant negativity against the LGBT community.

I was so upset to learn of all the ways the two main characters Florian and Enzo were treated just for being who they are and who they love. Florian’s ex girlfriend Marlene is a piece of work. Her manipulation and deviousness drove me insane and I was so saddened to learn that Florian put up with it for as long as he did.

Florian on the other hand, was a love hate for me. Most people know he is bi-sexual and the fact that he can’t bring himself to be who he really is in public annoys me but also I can understand that he was weary about how it would affect his business and his relationship with Enzo.

Enzo is such a strong person. When his terrible trama happened, he coped and moved on to live his life to the fullest and that is truly inspiring. The relationship between him and Florian is beautiful and in my opinion is true destiny. With all of the past secrets they have overcome together and all of the present day obstacles, Enzo did not give up on Florian.

I highly recommend this book, it is a great way to show how people with a different sexual preference were and are still treated in different countries, and how far we have come as a society to accept what most people think is “not normal”. We have a long way to go but I see a bright future for the LGBT community and it will be beautiful, fair and equal.

Broken Pieces by Judith B. Pinkard
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This is a biography of events and life growing up for Judy, who deals with a multitude of trials throughout her young life. This story had my heart aching and I was crying for poor little Judy and her family. It is crazy how one accident can change your whole life and the lives of those around you.

Helen and Ernest, Judy’s parents, along with their two friends are in a car accident after picking up newborn Judy up from the hospital to take home. The four are all in the hospital for serious and life altering damages to their bodies. Helen takes the accident the hardest, as she is the one with the most damage done. She lives her life addicted to pain medicines and alcohol and trying to cope with the demons she has inside.

It really breaks my heart to see how Judy has to grow up. It sounds as though her life was not terrible, and for that I am relieved. I could tell by her writing that her mother did indeed love her very much, but was wrestling with herself to get her life back on track after this accident.

The 50’s seriously sounds like such a great era to me, people were more friendly and willing to help where needed. I also loved seeing how Judy had so much faith in not only people but God as well to help her get through any hardships. I do feel for Helen, especially during this era, with her mental illness, doctors didn’t have the knowledge that they have now to be able to thoroughly treat or help the situation. I am thankful the medical world has evolved since then but also saddened that so many had to suffer through these issues. Thank you Judy for sharing your story, it was beautiful!

Abandoned by Love: Book 1 in the Shattered Hearts Duet by Aleya Michelle

Four Stars

To be abandoned by the person you love is painful. To know that they left without a goodbye is even worse. I hurt for Jaxon and Emily. The author was really cruel to us. The plot of this story was so mean. To give you so much love and then yank it way. The writing was a little shaky with the conversations and how believable it was. This is a book that could teach young adults a lesson about drinking and driving. So many lives lost by that action alone. Hopefully the characters have learned their lesson. I’m looking forward to the next book because we will see how much Jaxon really loves Emily.

Abandoned by Love (Shattered Hearts Duet, #1)Abandoned by Love by Aleya Michelle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Abandoned By Love (Shattered Hearts Duet) by Aleya Michelle is the first book in this duet and is a very emotional story that will break your heart and form a lump in your throat. It is a story that is told in the past and in the present of our two main characters and how they came to be. It also shows just how precious life can be and that everything can be taken away from you in the blink of an eye.

Jaxon & Emily are childhood sweethearts and soul mates who thought they would be together forever, but when one reckless accident happens, it changes their lives forever. Their story leave more than broken bones it shatters their hearts, one doing it for the right reasons, the other left out and not knowing why.

Now I am waiting for the second book so I know how it ends.

Garrett (Dark Water Security #2)Garrett by Madison Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Garrett (Dark Water Security Series Book 2) by Madison Quinn is a story about second chances. It is a story that has secrets and lies, a little mystery and suspense and a little danger and intrigue. I would have liked to see more a little more danger, but overall I enjoyed the story and Madison’s writing style. I would read book one first because the characters crossover as it is about the men of the Dark Water Security, and let me tell you they are some smoking hot men.

Garrett is an ex-marine and a newby with the Dark Water Security team who is still trying to sort his life out after the marines. So when he is offered a new assignment as live in personal security guard he has no qualms. However, when he arrives he sees someone who he has not been able to get out of his mind since the wonderful night they spent together and now she wants nothing to do with him.

Hope spent on beautiful night with a stranger but what happened after she left, changed her life forever. She cannot think about one without thinking about the other and one just about killed her. Now she has come face to face with the new security guard, who just happens to be the beautiful stranger but as the two are intertwined everything that happened that night comes rushing back, threatening to destroy her.

I can’t wait to read book three

Man with the Mafia (Man With, #2)Man with the Mafia by Debra J. Falasco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Man with the Mafia by Debra J. Falasco is a story that simmers at the start, only to end in a blazing, hot finale. This is my first taste of this author, and what a delicious treat it was.

Vincent Manetti is a hot, italian mystery. Deirdre Collins is a sassy broad that has endured much, and gives more, despite this. Jer love of life was not extinguished, and Vincent was smart enough to see the beauty that was all hers. This story was intense, intense, intense. The build had my heart tripping and my nerves taut. I honestly can say it was a splendid read. This author is one I will revisit. The story was delivered flawlessly, dramatically, and honestly. The characters entertaining and believable. I could not get enough. 5 stars

I knew going in that this was a DUET (which means two) so I should not have been surprised by how it ended. I should have known that it was going to be tied into a neat bow at 92% when it was still “heavy”. I should have known that, even though this is a quick and great read, I would not have the answers I wanted today. No instant gratification. I am absolutely invested enough to grab the second part to find out how this ends.

ABANDONED BY LOVE is a Y/A-Coming of Age novel told in dual pov and in past and present time. The way it’s written is a really cool concept. It’s a shorter story so I was able to read it in one sitting, but I can’t imagine putting this book down even if I had something else to do. It’s one of those that stories that you know how it ends from the beginning, yet I was hopeful I misunderstood.

This is a story I would recommend to my cousins who are ready to read at a higher level and 7th grade.

The ONLY reason this is not a 5 star read for me is because I think the back and forth timeline could have been done in a smoother way. It took a little bit of the reading pleasure from me. Looking forward to reading the ending soon.

Mouth on the floor. I’m shell shocked right now. Women can be so evil. I’m literally confused over what I read. This story was too good to be true. Like wow. The author has you by the down below through the whole story. You will be on the edge through the whole thing. The ending was ridiculously epic. You don’t see it coming.

A Person Could Disappear Here by Terri George is thankfully a fictional story but could be a true story. You simply don’t think about the consequences no matter how careful you think you are.

Abby thought she was doing everything right after she met this guy online. She flies over to meet him, meet in public, stay in a hotel, etc Things seem to be going well until they weren’t. Who knew a road trip would take such a turn.

Abby was lucky to have her best friend at home to realize something wasn’t right.

It was a well written eye opening story. I met my husband online almost twenty three years ago and looking back I was an idiot, thankfully he wasn’t a psycho.

Rewind (Rewind #1)Rewind by Rowan Shaw
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rewind by Rowan Shaw is a M/M romance and I really enjoyed it. I love that there are authors willing to explore this subgenre in the romance world. It since seems like this an area that is getting more popular but I don’t think there is enough. A good romance can be written no matter the sexual orientation of the main characters and we got that in this book.

This story brought some things to light that I wouldn’t ever think about or encounter as a straight person but it saddens me to know that the situations in this story could and probably have happened to many who only want to love and show the world the love they have their partner and can’t.

I love how Enzo and Florian find one another again and it feels like almost no time has past. Enzo’s friend Patrick needs his own story. I feel like there is a pretty deep story he needs to tell.

Looking forward to the next book.

Garrett (Dark Water Security #2)Garrett by Madison Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Garrett by Madison Quinn is the second book in the Dark Water Security series. I loved Garrett, he was just an amazing guy and after meeting his parents I could see why.

Hope’s life changed two and a half years ago, she went from the best night to the worse in a blink of an eye. She has struggled to start living again after that night but thanks to her best friend she is able to start moving forward.

Garrett is fairly new with Dark Water Security and is surprised when he walks into his new job. He never expected this small twist of fate when he got ready for work that day.

They both have wounds from their past they keep haunting them, especially at night though Hope’s seem to effect her more. It almost seems like anyone associated with Dark Water Security has some stuff in their past that seems to cause some problems for them every now and again.

I really enjoyed this book a lot, there was just something about them. I do have some questions about Garrett and his past. Nothing huge or really pertaining to the story, just curiosity on my part.

Looking forward to the next book.

Hate to Love You (Baker's Bunch Book 1)Hate to Love You by Lily Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hate to Love You was a good 4 star read and book one in the Baker’s Bunch series.

Samantha’s world has been turned upside down. Her brother is in the hospital and she has a secret that could really hurt people she loves. When Cole shows up to comfort her and take her to the hospital things take a heated turn. Cole quickly puts a stop to it, knowing that Samantha is forbidden, she is his best friend’s sister.

Samantha has had a crush on Cole for years. Cole has also noticed Samantha, but her brother has pretty much threatened him and told him hands off. With emotions running high and the heat between them, can they deny their feelings? Can they possibly get a HEA?

I overall enjoyed this read but I had some very high frustration levels with Sam. I had to keep telling myself she’s only 17. There is a lot of misinterpretations and misunderstandings, that add to the drama. There is also a learning piece, don’t always believe what you see and get the real story from those involved. The secondary characters were good and added a great element to the story. I actually would like to see more from these two and look forward to reading more from this series.

By: Holly Tierney-Bedord
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Little Miss Eyes of Blue by Holly Tierney-Bedord was an okay read that ket my attention, but was a little hard to get in though, not the story, just some of the elements.

This book is a prequel to “The Woman America Loves a Latte”, and it tells the tale of the life Veloura was subjected to as a child, and what her parents were like before and after they married and had her. I can say, some people shouldn’t have kids. Veloura parents are not worth the air they breath. This book broke my heart for Veloura, and what mades it all the more depressing is that her little girls like her, are, and have, lived the life she has.

Overall this book will pull to your heart strings, and will keep you reading. So please take my high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will feel many things, and become a fan of this unique author.

Happy Reading

Garrett (Dark Water Security #2)Garrett
By: Madison Quinn
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Garrett (Dark Water Security #2) by Madison Quinn was an engaging, interesting read that held my attention.

Not my first read from this author or in this series. I met Garrett in the first book, “Luke”, so I was eager to get my hands on this book when I seen it was about him. Though this book is part of a series, it reads as a standalone, and the books takes place away from the “office” you could say, so there aren’t many, actually hardly no, spoilers from that first book.

As much as I like this book, I will say that it was a little slow going. Not just with the romantic plot, and why his lady love left him high and dry, all those years ago, but with the actual reason Garrett was there in the first place. The action plot/mystery. There was such a build up that I, felt a little, meh, at the climax, and frankly, I don’t know it was because it took so long to get there that the author may have lost some of that spark along the way.

Overall though, this book was well crafted, fun, and I very much love the MC’s interactions. I felt it, and it was believable. So yes this books isn’t all shoot them up, but this has this charm to it that keeps you reading, keeps you entertained, and keeps you intrigued. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will fall into this easy read.

Happy Reading

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Garrett by Madison Quinn is the second book in the Dark Water Security series. This book focuses on Garrett. He is a part of the Dark Water Security team and was briefly introduced in book one. This can be read as a standalone and still be enjoyed completely. Garrett is working as live-in security for a tech guy when Hope comes back into his life. The two had a possible missed opportunity at something several years back. Will this time be different?
I really like Garrett and Hope. Both characters are smartly written and there is a good dialogue between them. I also like the build-up of suspense and danger in the story. I cannot wait to see where this series goes next.

Garrett (Dark Water Security #2)Garrett by Madison Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Garrett is the second book on Madison Quinn’s Dark Water Security series. Madison Quinn gave us an earth shaking opening with Luke and she continues strong in Garrett. Garrett is not as intense as Luke but in no way are we disappointed with him! We could see the promise of him in the first book, considering how brief his appearance was, it does tell you something!
Garrett’s assignment is working personal security for a tech mogul and he needs to live on site. This live in comes with a surprise though – never ever did he imagine that he would come face to face with ‘the one who got away’. Hope disappeared from his bed after an unforgettable night and leaving Garrett with nothing but a memory …
In some ways we have sort of two stories in one – we have the mystery of what happened that night and what happened to Hope and then this bodyguard gig and the danger to the tech mogul. The writer is very good at building up the suspense and yes, at times it feels as if the story is moving a bit too slow but the way how the story is told, you do not dare to put the book down as you need to know who where what how why …
I cannot wait to see what the writer will give us next as every single one of the Dark Water Security team members deserves a story!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Run to the Sea (Reigning Hearts Book 1) by KG Fletcher is a contemporary romance featuring childhood friends that have been reacquainted. Years may have passed, but something remains lurking below the surface. The ultimate question is will fate lay their cards is the right order or will they be challenged to bring all the pieces together? Thomas and Emeline both are strong characters individually, but living different paths which become apparent in how they interact and the choices they make. KG Fletcher is an amazing author and always delivers quality storms with amazing characters and intriguing story lines. I look forward to reading the subsequent stories in this series and the antics, events, portrayals that the author will develop – anticipate them to be just as great as this story.

I was so excited when I found out that book 3 in this series came out. I read the first two books in this series and loved them, it is also my suggestion that you read these books in order so that you have more back story to all the characters that return in each book. In this story we get to meet Kitty who is a young woman who left behind her children and second husband. This story is funny, quirky, steamy and all of the wonderful attributes that the other stories had as well. This is a short read full of wonderful characters, emotion, and I found it to be very entertaining and it pulled me right in from the start. I highly recommend this book.

Each story within the series add more and someone new; each character that is added brings something unique to their story. I find the author’s spin on the afterlife enlightening, fun, and downright outrageous in just the right ways. Flirty Dancing is the best yet, in my opinion, with Kitty’s story. Her untimely death came with after effects she’s not prepared to acknowledge and accept. I enjoyed reading how this continued and where Kitty finally ends or begins. What a great short story and a great addition to the series.

Terri George has created a read that is well written, has an incredible plot and even better characters. I can’t believe that this is the only time I have ever heard of this author, after reading how brilliant this book is Terri George will most defiantly become one of my go-to authors.
This book is one of those books where giving away just a simple part in a review could ruin the whole book, this is a book you want to spend your time letting it sink in, that will leave you on the edge of seat and keep you turning the pages until the very end, and even then its a book that sticks with you a while after you’ve read it. This is an emotional read, that raw and really makes you stop and think.

This is a book that should not be missed! It will have you hooked from the very start right until the very end, not wanting to put it down! Don’t miss this read.

Bedlam (A Twisted Hearts Love Story, #1)Bedlam by Autumn Sand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bedlam is the first of the Twisted Hearts Love Story series by Autumn Sand. This story promises it all; danger, deception and a forbidden love affair. If this doesn’t make you want to jump straight into the book, I don’t know what will. While I love a romantic thriller, I’m not always one for the darker reads. Something about Bedlam had me hooked before I’d even started and I’m so pleased it did. This was an exciting and addictive read that I cannot recommend enough.

From the very beginning of Bedlam we learn everything is not as it seems in Anaya’s life. While it might appear she has the perfect set-up, nice apartment, designer clothes, this is far from the truth. Her relationship with her long-term boyfriend has all but fizzled out, but how do you end things when before-mentioned boyfriend is the head of a mafia empire? A mafia romance you say? Not quite! Ignacio, or Iggy, is anything but the warm, romantic type. His scenes with Anaya were always difficult to read and very disturbing. His hold over her is strong, but she still manages to form friendships and a career outside of her life with him. It’s her career that throws her in Tony’s path. Now he is a man worth talking about! Tony and Anaya immediately have an intense connection and sparks fly. Unlike her and Ignacio’s scenes, I loved reading the scenes between Anaya and Tony. They were hot; so prepare yourself for some very believable chemistry.

Before you start reading Bedlam, be warned that there are some serious triggers. This is not an easy-to-read book, so be ready for some really uncomfortable reading. Right from the start we are exposed to some deeply sad events and it only gets worse as the story moves on. This book is filled with deception, danger and lies so expect everything that comes with those labels. However, this story is also hopeful and there are some really lovely scenes. While most of these are between Anaya and Tony, look out for some unexpected scenes with Fred; my favourite character!

Bedlam is both the book I was expecting, but also full of surprises. It is darker than I thought it would be but also has some lighter, touching moments. I read this in one sitting; yes, it really is that addictive! For anyone who loves a mafia or dark romance read, I would recommend this in a heartbeat. I can’t wait to read more of this series!

Garrett is the second book in the Dark Water Security Series. It can be read as a standalone.

I really enjoyed this story. It kept up a pretty good pace and the characters were easy to connect with. I did find that the ending was a little anticlimactic, I was really thinking there was going to be more to the whole lifestyle scenario with Mr. Meyer’s brother. That piece seemed like a loose end after the conversation that is overheard. I had a little chuckle at Hope’s first encounter with her boss’ lifestyle choices. If you’re not familiar with it, it can be a bit shocking, lol.

Overall, I found it a good way to entertain your imagination on a rainy day.

At times this story is both heartbreaking and bold, which is exactly how I feel about Vee as well. This author has a talent of making the characters feel so real so easily and I love that.

I loved the characters. But then I learned to hate some of them as well. They were strong, fun and outrageous at the same time. That Tony! He is sex on a stick! The meetings between him and Anaya are so sexy. My tummy tingles and butterflies fly. Tick and Manny are not only different character names but they are interesting characters as well. They are men of action not words.

This is not my first book in this series but I am glad I was finally able to get this one read. There are some books that make a person stay up late reading…this is one of those. This is an introduction to these characters which will carry over to the next in this series. Thank goodness! I love catching up with previous characters.

The Reason Why by Izzibella Beau

5+++++ Stars

My third book by this author and I couldnt pick a favorite right now even if I tried. Ive had this one on my kindle for a bit and have wanted to read it since the day I got it, and finally did and OMG, I loved it.

There was a lot going on in this story, from family issues, to friendship and the whole torn between two brothers thing happening..It was how this story was put together and told that made me love it so so much. I was afraid it would follow storylines Ive read before and things would happen and I was completely thrilled it didnt take that route, instead it took routes that had me glued to the kindle till I finished..I walked around doing everyday things while reading and listening to this story until I finished. This author has a way of drawing you in quick and then holding on as you take a journey through all of your emotions.

Izzibella Beau is most definitely on my list of favorites and I will be watching for everything I can get my hands on by her.

LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!!
