This is Jordan and Ben’s story. These two had chemistry when she first started working at the company but after Ben’s dad passed away a letter from his dad quickly changed the direction that Jordan and Ben were heading.
Jordan is confused as to why Ben has pulled back and gotten distant. She thought that they were both on the same page. Trying to move forward she pursues something with Steel, who due to work issues and concerns for her safety he had to pull back and cease a relationship with her.
When Ben gets some answers to his questions he realizes there is now nothing standing between him and Jordan any longer. Will he be able to get Jordan or is it too late? Can he finally get the HEA he is looking for with Jordan?
This is a good read and I really liked Jordan and Ben. All of the other secondary characters were great as well. We also get POV from Steel as well as he deals with some dangerous issues involving his men. He quickly grew on me and I hope we get to see his story soon. My heart went out to him and the choices he had to make to keep people safe. Virginia Wine has done another great job of pulling me right in with her writing.

Climbing The Walls is the first book in Sacha T.Y. Fortune’s Hart & Cole series. It is my first encounter with the writer and if I am not mistaken, it is her debut book and if that is the case then be prepared for some greatness coming our way in future! She warns us that we should read the stories in the order they are published for the optimal enjoyment as they are linked and we meet the same characters in all of them, just that the focus is on different ones in each of them. Climbing The Walls is the story of Nicole and Kristopher. Their story is of raw emotions and the baggage that both of them bring along into their marriage. As the story is told alternatingly from both of their point of view then at no point do one need to wonder how and what anyone is feeling! It also shows us how we interpret people and situations through the lenses of our past. The story is gripping and keeps you hooked until you come to the end! It is the story of a marriage and parenting and relationships and … The writer has filled the story with love and heartache, hope, fear, passion, regret, desperation … and even though there is no real cliffhanger, you find out whose the next book is about and you know that you need to pick up a copy when it gets published!

Y. Fortuné – Review by Jana Teppih
We Tell lies to for the most part because we don’t see a way around the situation. Or we tell lies to make our live seem better. Natalie doesn’t really know what she wants but she knew what lies to tell to get out of what she didn’t. I don’t know if I could ever be friends with the woman who ruined my marriage . Yes you can move on with your life. But to actually have conversations, dinners and outings nope. I was super sad about Collins but Jack made up for it. The story was well written. The author made the characters more flawed and believable. I wasn’t a big fan of Natalie but she kinda grew on me.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1) By Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
This book was a rollercoaster of emotion!! I loved reading this book, it felt so real and I got completely invested in the characters lives and their marriage. This story had some unexpected twists and turns. I felt connected to Kris and Nicole and some of their hardships. There were times when I got so frustrated with Nicole and other times when I could empathize with her. I was taken on an unexpected journey of highs and lows, I laughed , I cried, and experienced every emotion in between while reading this story. I can’t wait to read the next one. I highly recommend this book.

Y. Fortuné – Review by Candida Hopper
I have to say that I was happy to dive into Nite Fire: Flash Point by C.L. Schneider. It was a refreshing to dive into a story that had a world with a shifter. I was impressed with the authors ability to create a world that was enjoyable with characters that were easily liked. I was more than happy to immerse myself in this world and felt like I’d want nothing more than to return back to it.
An amazing and fast paced novel, I could not put The Lies We Tell by Brittany Butler down. Natalie is a runner and has lived a life of half truths. She has also endured a lot over the years. In enjoyed reading how her past and her lies caught up with her and changed the course of her future. I also loved that she was an author and has to learn to not let what others think affect her. I feel like she really matured as the novel progressed. I also enjoyed Tabitha, Collin, and Jack’s characters. Each one had their own interesting personality. The love triangle was also a great mix to the storyline. I really enjoyed reading it!

Full Glasses and Burju Shoes by Blake Blessing was a pretty okay read that was full of misunderstanding, raw emotions and second chances.
Not my first read by this author, so I knew that going in that this book would be well written and detailed. I was not disappointed on that front, but, I do have some mixed feelings.
Lets get what irked me out of the way first. I feel like our MC’s weren’t that good of a pair. It showed towards the end when Emil was opening up to Perrin, and she just exploded on him. That showed me her lack of understanding of the job he had to do in a combat zone, and not getting that things in this world are never black and white. Perrin, for me, seemed a little too immature for her age and frankly, got way too angry, too fast, and jump too many conclusions, before even considering a different outcome. It didn’t help that she has a unhealthy outlook on life. Yes I do know it improves as her and Emil relationship grows, but for me, that first part of their love, felt forced and irking. I will give her backing her sister, and being there for her when things weren’t looking good. And yes I do know she agrees that she needed help of her own, but there was this overmature/immatureness, that for me, didn’t mix well.
Now I did love her and Emil first official conversation, that felt natural and special. I think if there was more of that, leading up, and maybe keeping that friendship aspect longer, before getting into the instalove, then I would have believed in them more.
As for Emil, he got attached to her, fast, and that brewing, no F’s, persona quickly went out the window. I could see the unhealthy way he was clinging to Perrin, but, and I do get why, given he’s PDSD. Overall Emil did have the most character growth, and tried to put his broken soul back together. I gravitate more towards him, and having that split POV really saved this read for me.
The writing was solid, and the conversations flowed nicely and naturally. The ending was the ultimate book saver for me. It showed a Perrin that had mulled over the hurtful things that she said, and admitted that she should have listened to Emil before acting like a child. She finally understood the damage that she cause, and found the courage and willingness to fix it. That revelation did lessen my dislike for her. That ending brought me back to the start, to that first special moment, were I did saw a true connection between them, and the epilogue, that finally drove the nail home for me, and pushed this read into that 4 star spot.
Overall I did enjoy this read, even with my mixed feelings. As I like to say, reading is subjective so my reaction will not be the same as yours. There is a lot of good things in this book, and the raw emotions, and struggles of coming home after a combat deployment, were heartbreaking and so very true. Care was taken in writing this book, and it shined a eye opening spotlight on the damaged us serving members have to face. No-one likes a broken hero, and that mentality needs to change. This book, sends that message loud and clear, and I’m proud to see it written to bluntly.
So please take my high recommendation and my stamp of approval that this book will get you in the feels
I enjoyed reading this book and getting to know Natalie or at least what we think we know, since you never can tell if your hearing the truth. This book kept me wondering throughout and kept me intrigued. The timeline does jump around from time to time and kept me on my toes. I found this book to be original, funny, realistic, dramatic with some steamy moments thrown in there. This book definitely took me on an unexpected ride, and I enjoyed every minute of it. There are some wonderful characters in this story and I recommend this book, you won’t be able to put it down till you have read the last page.
Paladin Hell is the first novel in the Colorado Chapter series by Manda Mellet. This is my first novel by this author.
After going through a nightmare, Jayden gets a knight in shining leather by the name Paladin. He looks out for her, protects her and while there are feelings surfacing, there relationship can go no further.
Years past, and their relationship progresses but are there people who will try to tear them apart?
With the being the first book of a spinoff series, I wasn’t familiar with the characters but I didn’t feel confused. I was really engrossed the story and reading about the two relationships that form and the intertwining of the characters history.
I loved Paladin and how he was always there for Jayden. Because of what she went through, I was glad their relation was more slow and took more time to develop.
I will definitely have to go back read the original story but I look forward to reading more of this as well.
Surviving Jordan, by Virginia Wine, is the third book of the Surviving Series. This is another well written romantic suspense featuring Ben and Jordan’s story. I really enjoyed seeing characters from the previous book(s) carried through into each subsequent book. It added additional depth and intrigue to the story/series. The author has expertly woven suspense in this story to make it more full. The emotions that are invoked in this story were beautifully done. Add in the chemistry and the story was truly divine.

Surviving the Storm, by Virginia Wine, is the second book in the Surviving series. This contemporary romance features Alexander Kincaid Storm III who was introduced as a supporting character in the first book of the series. In this story, Alexander has his work cut out for him and what he wants may not be as available as he wishes. The chemistry between Alexander and Madison is off the charts, though their paths are not easy ones. Virginia Wine continues this wonderful series, continuing to give the romantic feels, but at the same time giving the reader the needed drama and suspense to make this a worthwhile and thorough read.

Virginia Wine gripped my interest once again with Surviving Jordan. This is book three in her Surviving Series. Her story telling is like a painting; with each stroke the brush the picture becomes clearer. Virginia will get to tell you everything but not until she is ready to do so. In Surviving Jordan, there is a secret Ben’s father kept to himself until his passing. Jordan was hired by Ben’s father and was off limits. Will Jordan become Ben’s lover or will Ben stay away from Jordan? These questions and more will be revealed in Surviving Jordan.

Shadow’s Keep: A Novel by Meghan O’Flynn is a new thriller suspense book that leaves you chilled to the very core. I mean who doesn’t love a book that begins with a dead body found in the woods, with a cause of death labelled as suspicious. This is why you never go running in the woods, 90% of the time you’ll find a body, the other 10% will be running into spider webs and being eaten alive by bugs. I found this book a little difficult to get into, as I struggled to understand and sympathize with William as a character. I think this was mainly due to the writing style and getting into the way Meghan framed the narrative. I much preferred Cassie as a character, and really enjoyed her character as it progressed throughout the novel. After getting in the story I really started to enjoy it and was left stumped at all the twists and turns that the novel took. I’m really starting to like Meghan O’Flynn’s books and the way she weaves a masterful story. Can’t wait to read another book from her. 4/5 stars
Paladin’s Hell: Satan’s Devil MC (Colorado Chapter) By Manda Mellett
Ok so even though I love reading books by Manda I didn’t think I was ready to move on to a new MC Chapter. But boy was I wrong, although it didn’t grab me as quick as the Satan’s Devil MC series, I ended up loving meeting new and a couple of old characters. Paladin’s Hell Satan’s Devils MC (Colorado Chapter) is the spin off series to Satan’s Devil MC. Now this book can be ready as a standalone since it’s the first book in the new series, but I really think you need to start with the original series just, so you have a background history on the club. Now this book is no different to the last series and does deal with some issues that may upset some readers. Putting the heavy subject matters aside I reckon we are in for another hit series by Manda, a journey I can’t wait to go on.

The Way You Are is book 5 in the Carolina Connections series by Sylvie Stewart. My first read by this author, and what a merry dance I was led on. A refreshing change from the dark and twisted stories I love so much.
Brett MacKinnon always comes in second best, which delegates him to the friend zone. He has this charismatic personality that just makes him too sweet and the ladies just don’t take him seriously. To go after his lady love, he needs to toughen up, take charge, or risk getting left behind.
Liv is a feisty little lover of sport. A very strong personality does she possess, and she is not afraid to go after what she wants, that is of she really knows what she wants. She was hilarious and a true pleasure to get to know.
The Way You Are was brilliantly written, engaging, arresting, riveting. A storyline that draws you in immediately, and the ending comes far too quickly. A charismatic cast that will undoubtedly entertain anyone who picks it up and reads it. A fantastic 5 star story.

I love a good suspense and this definitely did not disappoint. This book had me riveted on the first page and held me in its grip tightly until the last. The author has a strong clear voice and provides a great tone and pace with this story and it’s characters. It was extremely well written and kept me guessing until the final page. If you like suspense and thrillers, you have to read this book immediately. Highly recommended.

PLAYER (21st Century Courtesan Book 1) by Pamela DuMond is bittersweet and an original story that is multi layered in its telling. There is lots of emotions, highs and lows and is complex and mysterious, as it is sexy and as suspenseful, as it is dramatic, and it is definitely captivating in its uniqueness.
Evies life has been plagued with mental health issues. Everything she has done is so she can take care of her family and that is why she is where she is today. She has a unique ability, that makes her highly sort after by the rich and famous but who is able to help her?
It is as beautiful as it is bittersweet. I am a definite Pamela DuMond fan after this read and there is so much more story to tell and I can not wait for the next book in the series.

Wow. This book left me speechless. This powerful story was riveting, raw, emotional, and dark. The twists and turns left me glued to my seat as I read.

“It was like being entranced by fire get too close And everything will burn.”
A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a surprisingly intriguing and engrossing read. It is sexy, hot, somewhat dark, and quite addictive. The story isn’t like any I have read before- because this is written in ‘free-verse’, and does have a poetic pace and structure to the way the story is told. That did take a little getting used to, and I applaud the author for taking the chance to be different from other books in similar genre’s. Evangeline is twenty seven- years old and from all appearances, has the perfect life. A great job, good friends, and a loving boyfriend. She is focused on her career in a publishing house, and will soon be up for promotion. She has definitely come a long way from the difficult childhood that she once endured. But her life is quickly turned upside down when she meets Landon Kelly, a sexy, successful businessman- with a dark and commanding edge. She becomes beguiled by him- as he stirs a powerful need within her. He has a reputation as a player, and has a ‘way’ with women- who seem to be drawn to him like moths to a flame. Evangeline is pulled to him, like nothing ever before. Her emotions are all over the place, and especially feels guilty for being so attracted to this man, when she already has a loving, safe and dependable boyfriend. But Landon is nothing if not persistent, and Evangeline can only fight their intense chemistry for so long. When she finally gives in to desire, it starts a fire that won’t be put out. Her ‘perfect’ life begins to crumble as addiction takes over. And we’re right there, with front row seats, to see how it all plays out. Intriguing. Emotional. Heartbreaking. Gripping. Dark. Sexy. Well worth the read! This story gave my emotions quite a battering, and I really felt for Evangeline. This is a fascinating look at a particular facet of addiction- it’s definitely not a light and fluffy read. I was so angry in parts, there was a certain character whom I really wanted to kick in the ‘family jewels’ for being a total PIG! But I won’t get into the reasons why because it would give away too much and spoil the story for you. I do recommend looking past the fact that this is written in free-verse, give it a chance because the story is worth your time. I am definitely looking forward to reading more of Ms. Danvers work!

Best Foot Forward is the first book in the Liberty Lawrence series by Bea Stevens. This is such a charming, fairly light-hearted and fun read- I was entirely engaged and entertained the whole way through. This is a great start to a wonderful series, and lays down the building blocks and foundation for the rest of the series to be built on I loved Liberty, she loves fashion…. And adores shoes!! She’s a little clumsy, fun, and a little off-beat….. which made her very endearing and entirely relatable. This series follows her escapades, with interesting and very entertaining results. Libby has a job as a junior manager at a London hotel, where we soon discover that her boss’s office is the site of a theft. Libby has a good idea of who the culprit could be, but the handsome investigating officer doesn’t seem interested in her opinion. There’s a lot to enjoy about this delightful tale- and what transpires made for some really great reading.

Surviving the Storm was a great 5 star read and book two in the Surviving Series.
Don’t talk to me about wrong; I know wrong, I own it. I am a man of no scruples, no morales-and certainly no limits – Alex
We start out in the past with Alexander and learning some background on him and his family. We go to present day and of Alex thinking about his one night with his best friend Theo’s sister Madison and wanting more with her. And it was definitely a hot and steamy evening, but there was a huge unexpected twist the next morning. And then she was gone.
Madison is moving to California, she is a fashion designer and is working on her career. She will be closer to her brother Theo, Eden and him. She will be leaving her fiance in New York, yes fiance.
At a party that her friends were throwing for her she sees Alex and he’s in prime form and confronts Madison about her secret and was a complete jerk. Seeing him brought back some memories of their night together. Alex is determined to have Madison for himself and won’t stop until he does. Will Madison break off her engagement? Can they have a HEA?
I loved reading Madison and Alex’s story, I didn’t want to stop until I was done. You feel like your right there with them. Of course their journey had several twist and turns, and we discover that the fiance is someone that is abusive to Madison and makes things very difficult for her. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a great read with some hot and steamy moments I highly suggest this series. I can’t wait to read more.

I loved this book and will now be reading from book 1, as this is book 5. It can bw read as a standalone, but I just want to know more about this group! Brett was so great but the poor guy gets friend zoned, often from what it seems like. And when he meets the perfect girl at a baseball game, they hit it off, until she says who she is there for. Can he get out of the friend zone? Liv is a tell it like it is, feisty woman. I really loved getting to know her and the crazy of her life. These two were great with a great group of friends along the way too!

I loved this book! The format of this book is a little different but I loved it! This is a dark, twisted story about Evangeline becoming addicted to something she wants but may not be good for her, Landon. Her problem is that she just may lose everything that she cares for. Will she pay the high price to have what she wants? This story pulled me in right from the beginning. I couldn’t put it down until the last page. I felt as if I was right there with them. Their story is a must read!

This is a romantic comedy that had me laughing throughout the story. This is a fun story about Libby. She is a junior manager at a hotel and loves shoes. When a theft happens, she thinks she knows who did it but problem is the hunky Detective Harper doesn’t necessary believe her theory. The rest you will have to read yourself but I will say, the twists and turns will keep you turning pages. Great characters that pull you into the story, make you feel part of it. I highly recommend this book.

Surviving The Storm is the second book in Virginia Wine’s Surviving series. I had devoured and loved the first book, Surviving Eden, and was excited about reading the second instalment in the series. I’m very pleased to add that I was not disappointed at all by Surviving The Storm. I would definitely suggest that you read the books in order as there are recurring characters and the storyline continues. We were introduced to Alex and Madison in the first book and from the snippet that we had of the two of them together, I couldn’t wait to see what the author had in store for these two and boy was it a great read. This book has it all. Off the charts chemistry, great sex, suspense, great characters, action packed and a crazy ex determined to ruin everything. This book will take you on a fantastic journey with so many ups and downs, and twists and turns that you just don’t know what’s coming next. I also loved that we got to see what Theo and Eden, from book 1, got up to. Yet again the author brings in new characters and gives you a little taste of what might be coming in the next book. I’m just so glad that I already have book 3 on my kindle just waiting for me to dive in and see what Virginia Wine has in store for these characters I’ve grown to love.

Written in the Stars (Fallen Eagles MC Series Book 2) by T. Birmingham
5++++ Stars
Oh My Goodness I love this series, my only negative about this series right now is that there isn’t another one I can jump right in to! LOL
I love the whole MC being completely different than I’ve ever read and I’ve said it before, Ill always love my MC books but this one is such a refreshing change in how an MC runs.
There is a lot going on in this story and a lot of people and normally this would get confusing but this author has a way of it all making sense and i never got confused. I loved Winter and Eagle and I was literally feeling the same emotions that were being written and that is what makes books work for me the most is the writing turning all these emotions into reality. I sincerely love this author and even though there’s an answer I have to wait for the next book to receive Im ok with that because it was just that good!
You truly must read the first book before starting this one so that you get the full effect of this cast of characters.

Birmingham – Review by Debi Kircher
The one thing I love about anthologies is being introduced to authors I’ve never read before and falling in love with their stories PLUS we all can use a hunky hero! Many of these authors were new to me and I will be searching out other books they have written.
They all gave me the perfect holiday read but I loved Allyson R Abbott and Tamara Ferguson stories the best. They have a way of sucking you into their stories and falling in love with their characters. I loved all the stories but these were the two that stuck out the most for me.
Highly recommend this anthology that have all sorts of hunky hero’s and beautiful HEAs.

Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 1) By: Bea Stevens 5 out of 5 stars
The story Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 1) by Bea Stevens is an awesome book that I loved reading. One of the reasons I loved it so much is the character of Liberty “Libby” Lawrence. She is a woman who has a high energy level and loves designer shoes. She is someone I would like to go shopping with. She has an eye for detail and that may be why she finds herself with a theory as to who the thief is at the hotel where she works. Now all she has to do is convince Detective Sergeant James Harper, the handsome policeman that she is right. Liberty seems to be falling for James a little more each time that they meet. Is Liberty right about who she suspects the thief to be? Will anything happen between Liberty and James? What does the future hold for Liberty? Read this book to find out. This story had me with a smile on my face and at times laughing out loud. My emotions went up and down with Liberty’s and I found myself caring about her with every chapter that I read. There are times when I wanted to give her a hug and others when I wondered what she was going to do next. There are other secondary characters that are introduced, and I enjoyed reading about many of them and their interactions with Liberty. This is a book that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. It is a story I would recommend reading.

A Tendency Dark and Dangerous By: Emmalyn Danvers 5 out of 5 stars
The story A Tendency Dark and Dangerous by Emmalyn Danvers is a book that is quite interesting as it is told in free-verse. It is a story that includes powerful, raw, and dark emotions. It drew me in and I found myself not able to put it down until I had read the last page. Reading about the character of Evangeline I couldn’t help but notice that she is someone who doesn’t make waves, she sticks to what is safe. When she meets Landon Kelly, he has an effect on her. She is soon unable to focus on anything else. What does the future hold for Evangeline? What effect will the choices she makes have on her life and those she cares about? Read this book to find out. This story includes seductive language and dialogue. It also has steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. It had my emotions going up and down. The story had a smooth flow to it and was enjoyable to read.

The Memory of Us by Lisa Sorbe is a five star novel. I loved this novel about love, friendship, confusion and loss. Laney was a girl who had lost so much as a young teenager. Her father and brother are just two prime examples of the loss she has experienced. Many years later, when her mom dies, she ends up in her small hometown again and realizes the only love she has had, aside from her family, still lives next door. When she left after high school, she thought it was only right to let him go because she had dreams of leaving her miserable life behind and find herself again in the big city. Even her mom was a different person when she came to visit, away from the dark cloud of loss at home. Arizona Elena is trying to figure out now who she is compared to the Minnesota Laney she left behind. Hopefully she will be able to find herself as who she really is and not who she thinks people expect her to be in either of those places.
