This is a contemporary romance story I couldn’t put down until the end. The author’s writing style is easy flowing, characters are well developed and made me feel part of the story. The twists and turns that they took me on left me sitting on the edge of my seat and the emotional roller coaster was intense. Eden and Theo both have had tragic accidents in their lives that left them just moving through the motions until they meet. Will they find themselves when they find each other? A must read!

This is a second chance-boy next door romance book that I loved. The author’s writing style is easy flowing and the characters are well developed, strong and loved their chemistry. The author pulled me in right from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down until the end. Elena left years before but now she is back to take care of her mother’s passing. Weston is the boy she left behind. If she walks away again will the be a bigger cost? Their story is a must read!

Rhapsody and Rebellion is the seventh book in the Enduring Legacy series. Each book is by a different author (in this case, Aubrey Wynne), but all focus on the same Scottish family whose mysterious powers are both a blessing and a curse. The books can be read as stand-alone stories, but are connected to each other. I really liked the grounding in historical events, and the attention to historical detail in the worldbuilding. It definitely falls into the historical fiction bracket for combining history lesson with drama and bringing a time and place to life. For me, the written Scots didn’t quite flow but this may have been because it was only used for certain words. Other than that, I felt thoroughly drawn into the story! I particularly liked the character Alisabeth – she’s grieving and struggling to find her place in families in the world after losing her husband. She’s sensitive to those around her and generally a well-developed character. It’s a classic love story, but the historical setting and magic add a unique flavour. If you like romance, and are interested in British history (although mostly focusing on Scotland, we get to see various places in England as well!), this is definitely worth a read! For me, it gets four stars.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss (Christmas Kiss Book 2) by Allyson R. Abbott
5 Stars
So I’m not completely sure how many of this authors books I have read now but I know it’s been more than a few and that total will continue to grow. I love every single story I pick up by her.
This one had a completely different kind of story line, it was a quick read and the adventures with Mel never really let up throughout. It was fun watching her drop everything to fly to Spain to house sit for her aunt and she actually can’t wait to visit her aunts little house on the beach. The adventures start during her plane ride and just kept going.
I love fast moving quick reads and then add in a hot spanish guy and a grumpy neighbor and a whole boatload of chores she wasn’t expecting with Christmas fast approaching this turned out to be an awesome story, and I wondered all the way through how this book got its name and now I know.
I highly recommend this and any book by this author. She is an absolute favorite and I can’t wait to dig into Christmas Kiss #3

When she returns home to take care of the aftermath of her mother’s death, she believes that she will be finished quickly. That she will then be leaving the past behind her. And then she sees Weston Brooks again. Her and Weston had a special and strong bond when children. She left him once in order to save her heart and to pave a future for herself. Now she finds that the attraction and feelings for Weston are still there. Elena tries to keep her distance. Will she be able to leave again? What does the future hold for Elena and Weston? Read this story to find out. This is a story about the power of memories, friendship, love, and loss. There were moments that my eyes were misty and others when the story had me smiling. I had empathy for Elena and what she was feeling. Both she and Weston are characters that I grew to love more and more with each chapter that I read. I could feel the push and pull going on between them and I wanted them to find happiness. This is a story that I would highly recommend reading.

Souls Collide: Collide Series Book 3 By: Kristina Beck 5 out of 5 stars
The story Souls Collide: Collide Series Book 3 by Kristina Beck is a wonderful book that I loved reading.

The Changeup is the 6th book in the Resort Romance Series by Mary Billiter. Each book can be read as a stand-alone. I had previously read one of the other books in the series, Wine Thief, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The Changeup was also a really good read and I’d definitely read the others in this series too. The changeup is a murder mystery with added romance. Although it’s a murder mystery, I also found much of the book to be light hearted. I really loved the characters in this book, not just Rebel and ‘McHotie’ Ryan, the 2 main characters but also Rebel’s workmates who have a large part to play in the story. When you’ve just moved to a new area under the witness protection programme the last thing you want on your first week at your new job is to find a dead body but that’s exactly what happens to Rebel Roberts. Her knight in shining armour is delivery guy Ryan McHenry, a trainee police deputy, who is there when she finds the body of former police deputy Bernie Thomas. What follows is a great story in which Rebel and Ryan, with the help of Rebel’s colleagues, try to work out why Bernie was murdered and also what dodgy dealing are going on at the hotel they are working in. I would definitely recommend The Changeup, and the rest of this series to anyone who enjoys a good romance with a little intrigue added.

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve read a book like this and it’s one I devoured.
Gideon the Earl of Standfeld was raised to be his father’s image. He’s very practical and exact. Lines are not blurred in his world so when his mother has a dream and begs to go back home to Scotland, he has no idea how his life is about to change and one highland beauty will catch his eye.
This book is the 7th book in the series but definitely can be read a standalone. I enjoyed the characters as well as the story intertwining with real historical events. Miss Wynne has a way of sucking you in with her story telling and not let you up until the end. I will be going back to book 1 in this series and I can’t wait to be sucked into each and every one of these stories!

A great read about thinking things through. Wren survived the ordeals of the first novel and is trying to resume her normal life. When her and Callidus are on the trail of a Gifted ice cream maker, they are attacked by mysterious men in black. However, the ice cream maker Thom joins them and is a fast friend. As war looms and tensions rise, Guild members start mysteriously disappearing., including Thom. Can Wren and her friends solve the mystery and find Thom before war threatens them all? a great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. I loved the character development of people such as Calliidus, as a kind and caring man underneath it all or Hale not just being a reckless fool which was brilliantly written. Also the King returns as a spinechilling force to be reckoned with. I loved the use of tension throughout the novel, as conflicts arose for Wren in a fantasy world with its own laws and society and politics. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel and the vivid sense of colour in the blues of the lake and the greens of the islands, and also sun and sand in Hales account of his home later on. Or the wedding scenes with colourful bright and detailed dresses against the dark of the black carriages and Black Guards. which contrasted perfectly. a great example of building upon a fantasy world in a sequel with the Celestans and their cultures and traditional wedding dresses. Or the Apricans with their Viking like nature and their sea faring ways to explore more to this world outside Maradis. I also loved the use of maps at the start which was a lovely touch and gave a clear location to the reader. Overall, a great read and I would give five stars.

Rhapsody and Rebellion was a great 5 star read and book #7 in the Enduring Legacy series.
“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night” – Edgar Allen Poe
Gideon’s mom has a dream/vision of a family member passing away in a terrible accident. She is adamant that they go home to Scotland. To make his mother happy he agrees to take her.
After marrying her best friend at 17, Alisabeth has become a widow after less than a year of marriage due to political uproars. When her husbands cousin arrives things take an interesting twist.
When Gideon and Alisabeth meet you can feel the connection between them. As they get to know each other better, things start to build even more between them. Gideon discovers that he has inherited something special from his ancestors.
Will these two get a HEA?
We get humor, action, suspense and so much more. Aubrey Wynne does a great job with her writing and pulls you right in.I really liked Alisabeth, she was a strong character. Gideon quickly grew on me, he was just a lonely guy looking for love and these two together were great. All of the secondary characters were great. I look forward to reading more from this series and author.
Right off the bat I knew i was going to like this book. It was creative and full of drama and sometimes that’s all a girl needs in her life. For being a novella, this book is full of detail and i thought the main characters were awesome. Tuesday runs a food truck in a small town and while out and about one day, she meets Blake at a grocery store and they hit it off. After another chance meeting they start dating. And in walks in troublesome EX. (GO AWAY HATER) The EX starts to make trouble for Tuesday and Blake and things just started to get great. Will they be able to get past the EX’s shenanigans? Will the EX get the kick in the face she deserves? Overall i really liked this story and i am looking forward to reading more by this author. I would recommend this read to a friend.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss By Allyson R. Abbott. I absolutely love Christmas stories. And this story definitely gave me all the warm feelings of the holiday. This author writes a story that has readers hooked from page one. While it’s on the shorter side I never felt it was lacking anything and it’s filled with sweet moments and entertainment. Mel and Lucas definitely have a connection that readers can feel and connect with. If you like Christmas romance stories then this is a must read and I can’t wait to read more from this author. I’m giving this book a four star review and highly recommend it.

Rhapsody and Rebellion (Enduring Legacy #7) by Aubrey Wynne was a intriguing, interesting historical romance, that had me hooked.
This was my first read from this author and this series. No worries this reads as a standalone, so don’t let that big number seven frighten you. In saying that, I am going to be checking out the other book in this series, because if they are anything like this one then.. girl, I can’t even right now.
Being set in the 1820’s, it was richly detailed and lush, I found myself drawn into this world of the past. Touching on an age that I’m not familiar with, I felt like I was brought there, seeing it, living it like it was that time. I never felt confused or lost, you can tell research went into this read, to make it as authentic as possible.
The overall story is quite the tale, and I found myself not only rooting for the MC’s but I became invested. Want them to have their HEA was a must! So yeah, the feels got involved in this one, and at one point I thought it was all going to go up in smoke. Man you can’t to do that to my heart. Beside the splendid love story, there is war brewing, and that adds another struggled and strong element that rounds out this wonderful read.
This book is a super high recommendation from me. So please take my stamp of approval that you will be drawn into the distance past, and fall hard for this couple that are trying to fight the odds.
Only this Tuesday night written by Melissa Keir was a very fast paced romance.
Blake The mayor of Copper Mills had broken off his engagement to Judith. Now they are friends with benefits but she is still trying to change him. Once they are finally broken apart Judith comes him explaining news she heard which isn’t really news after all. Judith is trying to tell the Mayor there is a woman on a food truck who has a “special kid working there” the woman in question is Tuesday from Tuesday’s Tacos. Tuesday really cares about kids who don’t have an easy life. Who need people to treat them right. Judith keeps on harassing Tuesday but Karma will soon be looking for Judith. Tuesday will win the hearts of all who hear the story. As if that’s not bad enough, she will even end up with the man Judith thought she was going to marry.

I have to say that I was intrigued by Only This Tuesday by Melissa Keir. It was slightly different than what I’m used to, but that’s not to say that I was opposed to it. I loved the way that the author created these characters and their storylines. I absolutely loved the feel of sweet romance that I got from this book, and couldn’t wait to see what the end result was. More than anything, I enjoyed that it evoked several emotions from me while reading – that is what I love reading. This was definitely a 4 Star Book!!

THE CHANGEUP (a resort romance novel book 6) by Mary Billiter
Four Stars
The Changeup is filled with a lot of mystery and drama. It wasn’t really exciting but it did have me wanting to know what happened. Rebel really got my interest. She is living two lives and is have almost an identity crisis. I liked how she had no filter about what she thought and how she wanted to be treated. Rebel said what she thought and it was refreshing. McCutie was also a favorite he plays a great knight in a delivery uniform lol. I would’ve like to see more character development and background. The side characters were great I like Da Nise lol. I couldn’t get over that part. Ria seems like a very likable but insecure character. Over all I enjoyed it for what it was.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott 5 out of 5 stars A Tangy Christmas kiss is the second book in this series written by Allyson Abbott. Is a wonderful romantic holiday book. It weaves a story that has you laughing and feeling the magic and romance in others through the holidays. It also shows the importance of family and what you would do for family. The characters are amazing…. The plot is great and I love the description and details this author puts into her story/stories. They feel so believable that I had a hard time putting this book down. Mel, gets a call from her mother requesting, that she flies to Spain to house sit for her aunt. To be honest, she’s glad for a change of scenery after recent turn of events with her latest boyfriend, and she is looking forward to Christmas in the sun, planning to spend many days on the beach. Let the fun begin. The journey takes forever due to misunderstanding of the different timelines and consequently Mel misses her ‘handover’ of tasks and a lift from her aunt. Jetlag, lack of the Spanish language and having no knowledge of geography of Spain, all she has is her aunt’s address, a headache and an overwhelming urge to sleep. While on her flight she meets an extremely sexy Spanish passenger who is seated next to her on her flight. He takes her under his wing to make sure she arrives safely and stays to help her out, even though he only speaks Spanish, so Mel has no idea what he is talking about. But hey, you can’t turn away a great looking man in your hour of need! As things turn bad to worse, she now doubles up on handsome hero’s, as her aunt’s friendly (extremely gorgeous and English speaking) neighbor, decides that it is he, who should be helping, not the interloper from the airplane. Mel should have question why her mother couldn’t go? Why her mother is never there when she calls? And why her aunts needs a house-sitter for a bungalow on the beach? You need to read this awesome story and find out what happens to Mel and her men. Who will she pick can she even decide? By Tracy @tracym

Beats of the Heart is the first book in a new series called Lyrical Odyssey Rock Star Series. While it’s the first book, it seems as if there is a lot of information that would have been written in a prequel. The author does explain that the story doesn’t start at the beginning of their relationship so we are clued in from the start.
The story is about first love, that first love that you think is going to last forever. It is told in present and past tense and from dual POV’s.
The characters are evolving through the story and I look forward to watching their story conclude.
In addition to the story, this book has an amazing sound track. I always enjoy listening to the music an author envisions in their story. I have this one downloaded and listen on shuffle

Rose – Review by Maura Harper
Here’s a book about a family fighting to save themselves and their beliefs. A family trying to protect the innocent and the ones they love. “It’s an honor and a heavy burden. And I wish to all the saints that I could save ye from both.”
This is my first book by Wynne and what a great start! This story includes mystery, death, rebellion, The Legacy and even second chances. People protesting the government is not a new age situation. It goes back many years, in this story’s case back to the 1700’s.
I really liked the details of this story. The way the characters talked made sure we knew they were from Scotland and/or England. The style of writing kept me turning the pages, wondering if they would survive, if they would save their loved ones. I look forward to reading more from Wynne. I can definitely recommend this book.

This is the first book I have read from this author and now she has a new fan. I love a good small town romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. This book is anything but small it has everything a real story has and more. I could not stop reading this book. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters. It only took me a little over an hour to devour this amazing story.
Tuesday Benson moved to Copper Mills to get a fresh new start on life. She lost her mother, business, and her boyfriend. When she finds out that her boyfriend did the ultimate betrayal she had no choice but to move. Tuesday loves the small town life. She owns her own little food truck that is taking off really well. Tuesday is way too busy to keep up with everything so she hires a boy to help her. One day she is shopping for some ingredients and she runs into a very handsome man. She doesn’t realize that she runs into the mayor Blake Rogers. Tuesday doesn’t understand why she keeps on thinking about Blake but he keeps on showing up in her life. Will Tuesday have the right ingredients to make real love come to life or will their pasts break them apart?
I absolutely loved this book. This storyline has it all romance, drama, and humor. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Tuesday is a beautiful woman that has a heart of gold. She doesn’t want to get hurt so she puts her walls up. Blake is a perfect gentleman. He is a very powerful man but he doesn’t take it for granted. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This author brings up some delicate moments but she does it so beautifully it will make your heart melt. I can’t wait to see what is next for this small town.

A Prickly Christmas Kiss, by Allyson R. Abbott, is a seasonal treat for the holiday season. The character names, location and theme truly give a feel for the holiday season. From the beginning, the author has provided a story that just blankets you with the pages as you read. From the soul(s) that are disenchanted, to the paths that feel as if fate is pushing forward, and just the magical time of year – it all adds together to give this story just the perfect mix of warmth and seasonal joy. The addition of some comedic moments throughout gave just enough to the story not to feel over done. I absolutely adored ELF’s character and her personality, she really made this story fun, as well as, all the supporting characters.

Degrees of Control (A Prestian Series Book 3) by Via Mari 4 stars
Another great installment to this series. While Kat and Chase try to move forward after her declining of Chases proposal, other events from previous books are now coming to a head. I really liked this book but I also want more from Chase. I need in his head! I get the protectiveness in some cases but sometimes its over the top and I want to know why. And the whole fiasco in this book that Kat went through could’ve been avoided if he just spoke to her. The spark between these two is undeniable and I can understand the pull Kat feels and why she just can’t stay away. The heart wants what it wants regardless of what your head is saying to you. I cant wait to see how this series ends and if we will get the happy ending they desperately need! Keep them coming!

This is my first book by this author and I completely fell in love with it. The storyline although something I hope I never have to understand aside from reading about it was awesome and the writing style had me at word one.
This had a mixture of all the feels, I smiled, I even laughed a bit here and there, it had sadness, confusion, and my favorite determination. This author took me on a journey through watching your life get totally turned upside down and everything it took to right itself again. The emotions she had Lia feeling came through loud and clear and I felt them all. Lia was an amazing character and has now been added to my list of favorites.
One thing my husband and I pride ourselves on is our communication skills and we are both believers in it being the only key to a successful marriage and if that had just been practiced in this story, well…… then there might not have been a story so I’m glad it turned out like it did. LOL
This was a fantastic book and I can’t wait to see what else is available by this author and am so confused as to why I haven’t read any of her books before now.

5 Star A Prickly Christmas Kiss By Allyson Abbott is an amazingly wonderful Christmas Romance short story that I absolutely loved. I couldn’t put it down once I started. It’s very heart warming story about Emma aka Elf. Instead of Elf dealing with her family and the questions she knows they will ask, she decides to spend two weeks in a cabin with her best friend. When her friend can’t come what will Elf do? Will she stay or leave? Will she be able to learn to build a fire and survive the storm? Elf has some company, a stray cat has decided to keep her company. When the local vet stops by what happens? Can Elf stay away from him? There is definitely attraction. Find out what happens with Elf. I highly recommend reading this book. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.
