AMAZING!! That’s the word I would use to describe this book! I absolutely loved every second of it. I was hooked from the very beginning and I never wanted it to end! I have read books by this author before and I love her writing style, her books are truly a joy and pleasure to read. I think Jesse and Harlow are two of my favourite characters that I have read so far this year, they were relatable and I connected with them straight away. I loved the chemistry between the two of them. I really loved Harlow! She was just so amazing to read about. Jesse – oh be still my heart – I LOVED him! I didn’t want the story to end because I wanted to read more about him! This book could be read as a standalone but you will not regret reading the others book in the series at all! I loved everything about this book and I can’t wait to read more from this author again in the future!!

Jesse is the 3rd book in the Glass City Hearts series by Desiree Lafawn. I was unaware that there were 2 book before this one but this did not affect my enjoyment or understanding of this book as each can be read as a standalone, although the same characters are present in each book. I would suggest reading them all as, if the 3rd book is anything to go by then I’m sure the first 2 will be equally as awesome and I’ll be sure to read them in the future. This is the story of Jesse and Harlow. Jesse is running his dad’s bar after the death of his mother. Harlow is a single mum whose son (amusingly also called Jesse but is shortened to JJ) pees on Jesse when he’s caught short on the way to his mum’s job interview. There is instant chemistry between Jesse and Harlow. This is a really heartwarming romance. Harlow hasn’t let any guy near her following her disastrous relationship with JJ’s dad and she’s too busy concentrating on getting a job to have a better life for her and JJ. I’m a total sucker for an adorable kid in a book and I can say whole heartedly that JJ is a total scene stealer. He is just the most awesome kid and you can’t help but fall in love with him from the very first chapter. This is one of those romance stories that make you all warm and fuzzy inside and I’d totally recommend it to others.

Hope’s Decree by Angela McPherson was a unique book. I enjoyed the storyline as it seemed to go fast. I was reading the story and the next thing I knew It was over. I will say that I didn’t realize that I was going to read it all in one sitting. I would prepare to read this in one sitting. The characters were fully developed. Hope is an empath. She was having a difficult time with all the people’s emotions around her. She is a high school senior trying to make the best year of her life when she realizes what is going on. One cool aspect of Hope is that she is a descendant of Pandora. I can only imagine what that must have been like. One of the setbacks, is that everyone is trying to find you. All the twists and turns are so worth reading this book because you will be amazed at what Hope is capable of in this world.

I absolutely loved this book!! It was so magical with a good amount of suspense and along with it some fantastic plot twists and turns. I think this is my favourite read from this author so far. I thought the characters were great and I loved reading about them. What I really loved about this book was how unique it was and the author wrote it in such an engaging way that I couldn’t put it down, her world building is usually good but it was excellent in this book. I really liked Wren and I actually liked that I had to work hard to get to understand her, I found her character really intriguing but there was something about her that I just instantly liked. She was a fantastic, strong heroine to read about. I think I would definitely like one of the deserts that she bakes!! Overall a fantastic YA read full of magic and murder mystery! I am really looking forward to seeing what is to come from this series!
Degrees of Acceptance is the second book A Prestian Series by Via Mari. This series should be read in order because this book begins where the first book left off. I think this book is even better than the first, which I loved. This book flowed from the first page till the last, and kept me up most of the night because I just couldn’t put it down tilll I finished. Chase and Katarina’s story continues with this fast paced, action packed installment. I love how this book make you look at things in a different way. It leaves Kate with decisions to make and what she can accept. I’m throughly enjoying this series and look forward to reading the next book.

Savannah’s Saviors (The Cowboys of Cavern County Book 5) by Bella Settarra. This is a new to me author and I knew that I was going to love this book from the beginning. Tom and Greg find Savannah out on a dark country road one night. When they realize that she is injured and quite possibly suffering from hypothermia, they bring her home with them. From the first time they actually see each other, the chemistry is definitely there for the three of them. My heart broke at times for the painful life that Savannah had. This is definitely a book worth reading!!! There are also some extremely hot, sexy scenes between the three of them!!! I am definitely looking forward to more!!!

Hope’s Decree (The Fated Book 1) By Angela McPherson I really enjoyed reading this book, there was action, fun, danger, and really enjoyable characters. I absolutely loved Trinity’s character, she is a strong, stubborn young woman still trying to figure things out and make it through her senior year. Blain, who runs hot and cold towards Trinity, is also a very strong and likable character. The progression of Trinity’s powers and her relationship with the people helping her was written flawlessly. There are more characters to get to know and love in this awesome story. I loved how the author created the dynamic of light vs dark, good vs evil. As soon as I started reading this book I could not put it down, it flowed so well I had to keep turning the pages. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. I recommend reading this book, it is a gem.

Another great read from this author and a good introduction to this new series. I always really enjoy reading books by Ms Luana, I find myself easily immersed into her stories and they characters are always well thought out and developed. It is a short read however it was jam packed with a great storyline and some plot twists. I really liked the setting for this story too and thought that the author described it really well. I grew to like Hale over the story, after everything that happened he soon changed his attitude towards things and as the story went on my connection with him grew. I am very much looking forward to reading the next book in the series!!
I am so thrilled that I picked up this gem over the weekend! I was in desperate need of something to shake off a bad book hangover I was having. I had just read and finished a great novel and I had a whole evening ahead of me and nothing was working out for me on my kindle. (Not that I don’t have a million TBR LOL) Then… ‘Climbing the Walls’ fell into my hands and I consumed it in one sitting! (Well past 3 AM) I adored it! Sacha TY Fortune was a new author to me as well, so even more outstanding for an introduction to a new author!
This one has it all. Some angst, hot steamy love, laughter, drama, a magnitude of emotions, and so much more. I loved how it was one of those novels you felt like you were right there and witnessing these lives of the main characters happening. They become real to you and you become invested in them.
Our MC’s in this one are Kris and Nicole Gellar. Niccole, Nicole, Nicole… I had a love hate relationship with her. I admired her ability to embrace her b#tc*y self. We all have our moments as women. I could connect with some of hers. Sometimes it got to be a bit much though. She wants to be the best at everything; her job, motherhood, being a wife. She just has a terrible way of balancing everything. She wants to be the best at everything; her job, motherhood, being a wife. She just has a terrible way of balancing everything. Her boss at work’s personal life is starting to crumble and that is giving her a new perspective on things. Can it help her marriage?
Kris is her adoring husband, I liked him pretty much throughout the book. He loves his family, and it shows in everything he does. He has a lot of self-doubt though. And lacks in the communication department. Their two children are adorable too, especially the daughter. She reminded me of my kiddo, too smart for her age. I can’t wait for the next book!

I really enjoy my visits to Cedarville. Now, don’t worry too much if you haven’t read all of the previous Cedarville novels from Bree Kraemer before this one. I would really only be concerned that you read “After All These Years” which is book #7. That is where we first get to meet the main characters of “Say When”. All of Kraemer’s Cedarville’s novels are fantastic though. I truly love the cast of characters. They all vary and are like old friends that we get to visit from time to time. I would have to say this one happens to be one of my favorites though and comes as a nice and sweet heartwarming read that I just couldn’t put down until I had devoured all of it in one sitting.
Like I said we have met Dani before in the seventh book, “After All These Years.” There we found out all about her shyness. It really inhibits her ability to live out in the open or find love. But it doesn’t affect her gift of baking. She makes some delicious treats and finds herself making the deserts that are served at the restaurant that Wes runs and opens in the book.
Patrick was hired as the chef of Wes’s restaurant. He himself is a quiet guy. His passion for cooking is sort of similar to Dani’s love of baking. Patrick has also fallen in love with the cupcakes that he has been consuming at the restaurant. He just wishes he knew who made them. One day fate gives him the opportunity to find out just who that it. He is blown away by how sexy and stunning she is. He is even more shocked to learn she is the same shy and introverted girl that he used to know as his sister’s best friend, just all grown up.
What will happen when they both discover that the attractions are mutual? Can Dani overcome her shyness just enough to let herself feel love? Will these two mix up more than just a good dish or treat? I loved this installment, and I personally can’t wait to find out what will come next for the little town of Cedarville. Thanks for another great read Bree Kraemer!

Jessie is the third book in the Glass City Hears series from Desiree Lafawn. I would highly recommend that you read the other books in the series before you read this one. Now with that said, you can read this as a standalone. I would keep in mind a few things though. There are several characters and their story lines that make appearances in this book. This series is a great series. Each book tops the one before it, a task that I keep finding harder to accomplish but proven wrong by Ms. Lafawn. Jesse happens to be my favorite so far!
Jesse is such a sweet romance. He himself is a sweet character. I truly enjoyed reading him and Harlow only sweetened the deal that much more. This was their story. Jesse manages the bar his father owns. It really isn’t his passion though and to make matters worse the relationship he has with his family is strained at best. Then he meets Harlow. There is a pretty intense connection between the two off the bat. Harlow needs a job to take care of her son. Jesse wants to help out. How will the workplace romance work out? Can they find happiness together?
I just loved all the sweet and wholesome feel-good love in this book. It was nice to light happy love story to coo at for a few hours. I can’t wait to see what will come next in the series. Thanks for another great read Ms. Lafawn!

Gotta love them cowboys! Savannah’s Saviors is Book 5 in the Cowboys of Cavern County series by Bella Settarra. I haven’t read any of the previous books in the series but from what I read you don’t need to. You can read this as a standalone even though my OCD brain is telling me that I should have read the others! This is a book on a ménage relationship and apparently there are other ménage books in this series. Savannah has suffered a life that felt like a prison by a man that doesn’t love her but will not let her go either. When she finally seeks the courage to ask for a divorce he tries to ruin her once more and kicks her out with only the clothes on her back. While walking about down the road she almost gets run over by Greg and Tom. These two seriously hot cowboys take her in and help her get well. There is a serious attraction between the three of them. Still being married proves to be a problem, not to mention Savannah is trying to start over. However, Greg and Tom have another agenda. That agenda is to try and keep Savannah. To do that…they must save her from her past aka her husband. This is a great story. You instantly fall in the love with the characters and the way that the story is written turns this book into a serious page turner! I didn’t want to put the book down once I started it! Definitely recommend this book and I can’t wait to read the others in this series!

Jesse is the third book in the Glass City Hearts series by Desiree Lafawn. This is a contemporary romance with some drama, suspense, emotion, and a lot of heart and soul. I have read all Ms. Lafawn’s books now and am really impressed at how easily she can slip from one genre, and into another. From Paranormal romance to romantic comedy, she can do it all, producing wonderful stories that will keep you hooked right till the end. Because of this, and the fact that the other two books in this series are so good, I had pretty high expectations for this book, and I am happy to say that Ms. Lafawn didn’t let me down, she definitely upped the ante with this production, writing what I consider to be one of her best books to date! You could read this book as a standalone, but as the series has recurring characters who make appearances too, so I highly recommend reading the other two books before starting on this one- just to get a better perspective of the characters- not to mention that they’re all superb stories in their own rights. Jesse hasn’t had an easy life growing up. His father is a hard man who is emotionally distant and now caught in a cycle of alcoholism. Jesse has had it drummed into him all his life that ‘blood is thicker than water’, so he’s put aside his dreams of having his own bakery, to help his father by taking over the running of his bar. Jesse hoped that by helping out, his dad would get back on his feet again, and Jesse would be free to follow his dreams once more. But as the story progresses, this becomes an increasingly slim hope, as his father seems to spiral downwards. Will Jesse have to choose between keeping the bar open, or moving on for his own sake. Then throw a beautiful, single mother into the mix, and Jesse’s world will never be the same again. Harlow Jones is a hard-working, and determined, single mother. Her gorgeous four year old son is her whole life. But after losing her job, she’s determined to get back on her feet. She has an interview lined up, that she hopes will be the answers to her prayers. But life with a four year old is completely unpredictable- and an encounter with Jesse changes everything. The story has a great pace and a smooth flow. It is told from alternating POV’s- Jesse and Harlow’s- which gives us a really great balance of perspectives, thoughts and feelings. As always, this story is really well written, and so very easy to read. Ms. Lafawn has a warm, sexy, and engaging style- full of wonderful descriptions and intricate details that added an extra layer of interest to the storyline. Now, I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next!

Savannah’s Saviors is the fifth book in the Cowboys of Cavern County Series by Bella Settarra. I didn’t realise when I snapped up this book, that it was number five in a series, so even though it could be read as a standalone, like I have done- there were characters in this book who I felt I should have known more about- that perhaps by not ‘knowing’ them I was missing out on an added layer of enjoyment. It has definitely intrigued me into wanting to find out, so I will go back and read the other books in the series, too, and see if my feelings were correct. This book is a contemporary western romance, with a bit of a twist. The story has drama, danger, suspense, action, a little violence, passion, secrets, insta-love, steam, and passion. The storyline includes a three-way/polyamorous relationship between the three leading characters (but it also appears that this isn’t the only ménage in the series). Samantha Edgerton has endured 3 years of misery and heartache in an abusive and loveless marriage. When she finally has enough and asks for a divorce- her husbands reaction is to kick her out into a cold, stormy, winters night with only the clothes on her back. She stumbles for miles in the dark, deserted countryside- she’s is exhausted, frozen, and confused. When all of a sudden, a car comes zipping around the corner, almost colliding with her. In an effort to avoid being hit, Savannah loses her footing and takes a tumble. The car stops, and two hunky cowboys come to her rescue. Taking her back to their place and nursing her back to health. But Savannah doesn’t know them, and even though they seem kind and caring, her experiences have left her wary. She’s not going to trust just anyone. But as she spends more time with them- their mutual attraction grows, and she begins to let down her defences. Tom Rankin and Greg Jackson work on a nearby ranch. The last thing they expected to find on their way home after a long day, out in the middle of nowhere, during a storm- was a beautiful woman. They are immediately drawn to her, and suspect that there is more to her and her story than she is letting on. But with some secrets of their own, they are determined to help her any way they can. Soon, feelings become involve and passions are unleashed. What happens when her secrets are revealed? And what happens when she discovers what they’ve been hiding? What will the future hold for these three, especially since she has a violent, snake of a husband who’s still lurking out there somewhere? The chemistry between the three is very instant, and steamy. There are moments where the three are feeling their way through the emotion, and complexities that come with this type of relationship- not just two personalities and feelings to take into account in everything, but three. The story gives a whole new meaning to the term teamwork, that’s for sure!

Four Stars I liked how this story used metaphors to get a little laughter going. I have never been a fan of baseball. But reading this book has me wanting to watch a few games to check out the scenery. Jamie was getting his big shot to go pro when tragedy hit his life. The lost he suffer was heartbreaking. He is very courageous for carrying on the way he did. He did have his issues but don’t we all? Kira came with her own emotional baggage. She seemed very indecisive to me. Her emotions jumped around a lot single conversations. Overall it was a good story. The characters were flawed and gave 100% to their performance. I usually can get a feel of how things can happen in a story. I was glad that the author deviated from the norm. I read HEA to escape my busy life. So I’m glad I picked up this story.

Savannah’s Saviors was a great steamy 5 star read.
You get pulled in right from the beginning when Savannah is thrown out of her home on a rainy night with nothing, she eventually finds herself in the presence of Greg and Tom. They were definitely surprised to see her in the middle of nowhere and decide to bring her home with them.
Greg and Tom are intrigued and attracted to their visitor. They start to sense that she is in some sort of trouble, what could it be? These two were so sweet with Savannah it really tugged at my heartstrings. As they discover more about her they are even more attentive.
There is so much more to this great read. And I have to say what comes around goes around when it comes to Savannah’s dirt ball husband. The secondary characters were great, I really liked Mrs. Hodges. This is my first read in the series and I wasn’t lost at all, however I do plan to get caught up. If your looking for a great page turning read, 1-click and get started today.

Sailors Knot ( Eastern Shore Swingers,#4 ) By Phoebe Alexander 5/5 Stars
Phoebe does it again… once you start reading, you will NOT be able to put it down!! I personally, tuned everything out and read this entire book within a couple hours! Adulting got put on hold for a bit, I had to see what was gonna happen next!! I’m a huge fan on the entire series!! Yes, I do realize it may not be for everyone! It’s soo much more than sexual preference(s) and/or lifestyles. Each book tells a unique and entertaining story, from beginning to end!! This story will pull at your heartstrings and make you feel so many different emotions!! Heartache, loss, love,desire, passion, and so much more ! I do believe this is my favorite of the series so far! It’s full of depth and passion to the brim!! Casey is unbelievably strong and doesn’t give up… she is a fighter in many different ways!! Another amazing job, Phoebe! I can’t wait to see what’s next !!
Hard as Steel (Surviving Series Book 4) By Virginia Wine Rated 4 stars
This is quite the interesting story that has many levels. It’s book four of the series and it might help to read the others first. Not mandatory because I have not read them but probably helpful because these seem to be ongoing stories. This one is about Nick and Steel. With a few other characters that have a story of their own to tell.
I enjoyed reading this. At first I felt like I was thrust into a story already in progress. But that quickly changed to one I could easily follow along. I liked the characters. The passion Steel felt for Nick was easily conveyed through words. Steel is intense and that scene where they (Steel and Nick) are dancing is so….so…hot! All the secondary characters filled their rolls well. Will added a bit of fun to the story. This is a suspenseful story with a little dark side and has some deep romance.

Ring Tru (Thick as Thieves Book 1) by Janice M. Whiteaker Rated 4 stars
This is a great little suspenseful story with some romance and intrigued mixed in. I enjoyed the characters and never really knowing what was going to happen next. Tru is daring, Will is secretive and Gretchen and Cooper are just fun to listen to.
This isn’t my for book by this author. I enjoy the way she writes. It is very smooth and keeps my interest. I am drawn into the story and the plight of the characters. I look forward to more from this series and this author.

This novel had me hooked right from the get go I was unable to pull my eyes away from the pages I just wanted to know what would happen next. It’s full of suspense well enough to keep you on your toes and turning the pages to see what is revealed next! It really was a brilliant book one that kept me questioning throughout certainly is a page turner!

Bound by Blood (Crescent City Wolf Pack Series) by Carrie Pulkinen 4 Stars
Let me just say that I love this series. The characters are well rounded and likeable. They have the same insecurities as we do, which makes them relatable. This is book three in the series and I suggest you read part one and two because they are just as amazing as this book. This story focuses on Bryce and Alexis. Bryce Samuels is a no nonsense homicide detective. He gets promoted to sergeant and becomes a negotiator. His dream of helping people is coming true. He has fallen for his ex-partner’s sister and when he finds her in the hospital beaten and bruised, he is hell bent on protecting her; if only she’d let him.
Alexis Gentry is trying to get away from her psychotic ex and doesn’t want Bryce to get caught in the crossfire. Though she doesn’t want to care for him, her Wolf has decided that Bryce is her mate. How can she be with a human that doesn’t know that the supernatural exists?
I’m so happy that the author wrote a book about these two. The chemistry is good and I think Bryce handled the situation very well. Eric was the perfect miscreant, psycho is definitely an understatement. This is an excellent drama filled, action packed paranormal story. A must read!

Degrees of Acceptance (A Prestian Series Book 2) Via Mari 4 out of 5 stars
Degrees of Acceptance is the second book in Via Mari’s Prestian Series. This book picks up where Degrees of Innocence left off so it’s best to read the books as written in sequential order to get the true impact of the story. Via Mari pays close attention to detail in all aspects of the story and for some this may come across as slow or stiff, especially since this book focuses a lot on the career aspect of these characters. I still find the series, especially this book in particular to be intriguing and suspenseful. I don’t want to delve too much into the plot because I don’t want to spoil the story in anyway. It is important to note for the sake of triggers there is mention of assault and rape. Overall I enjoyed Degrees of Acceptance even more than Degrees of Innocence and in true Via Mari fashion, the book ended leaving me dying to see how the story will continue. Looking forward to more of the Prestian Series.

Say When by Bree Kramer is the 9th book in the Cedarville Series. This story can absolutely be read as a standalone, but you will want to go back and read about the other friends also.
Cedarville is one of those communities that everyone knows someone so essentially everyone knows everyone else. Reading each book in the series is like connecting with old friends.
“Say When” is a quick romance that is easy to read, moves very quickly in time and events, and I was happy for all involved.

I give Hope’s Decree (The Fated Book 1) by Angela McPherson, 4 stars.
Trinity is a senior in high school. She just wants to be a normal girl who graduates soon, and then go to college. Sure, she can feel other people’s feelings, but she hides that as best she can. She just concentrates on schoolwork, her job, and her friends. She basically has no interest in boys. Until Blain. He moved in down the street from her, plus enrolled in her school. There is something that pulls her to him. But she quickly learns that there is more to her than just her small ability. She just may be a decent of Pandora, and she has been told only she can stop the evil that threatens to overtake the humans. Can she believe any of this? And what about this feeling towards Blain? Is he even interested?
This is a young adult paranormal romance. I have to say that the overall story is something I have read before. Saying that, the characters have to be good in order to keep me interested. I really enjoyed them. Trinity is a good character, she learns as she goes. Her friends and parents are also great – I would love to see more of them in the future. The story itself is good and I quickly finished the book.
I would say this book is definitely written to the young adult age group, but as someone who is much older, I enjoyed it too and am looking forward to reading the next book.

Savannah’s Saviors (The Cowboys of Cavern County Book 5) By Bella Settarra
Savannah’s Saviors is book 5 in the, The Cowboys of Cavern County Series by Bella Settarra. Just my luck to start five books into the series but I am glad to say this book can be read as a standalone, as I don’t feel you will miss out on much at all. However, on saying that I really think we should all read the whole series. This is also the first book I have read by this author. Loved how the author has portrayed the characters in this book, the alpha males Greg and Tom sound like men some of us would like in our lives, Savannah is a broken person, but Greg and Tom find her and take her under their wing. This book is wonderful, fast paced, action packed and suspenseful. All I can say if grab the book and enjoy the read as I did.

The Confectioner’s Exile: The Confectioner Chronicles Prequel Novella By Claire Luana
The Confectioner’s Exile is the prequel in the Confectioners Chronicles series by Claire Luana. This novella you find will be a nice quick read and you will find it gives the background of Hale and when he joined the guild. Yes, this novella is short, but you will still find twists and turns, love and some adventure. I did enjoy the novella and I am looking forward to reading more in the series.

Jesse by Desiree Lafawn is book three of the Glass City Hearts Series. This book can be read as a standalone but each book does have overlapping characters.
Family may usually be about the people that are blood related to you. Sometimes however, it’s about the people you choose. Jesse is being to realize that after being told his whole life that family is everything. Harlow just needs a chance. If she could catch a break, she could create a better life for her son and that’s all she really wants. After a chance encounter, is Jesse the person that can help make life a little better?
This book definitely drew me in and I couldn’t wait to finish it just to see how it progressed. There’s some twists and turns the story takes you on that you don’t really expect but the story is so much better for it.The characters are so well developed. Harlow is such a strong independent character. She is so relatable as a single mom just trying to do what she can for her son. I truly enjoyed this book.

Hard as Steel: Book four (“Surviving Series”) by Virginia Wine is a romance suspense story and a page turner. I enjoyed this complex and layered tale and liked the characters but wished I had started at the beginning of the series with book one. I felt like I was missing out on very important background information in relation to the characters and their worlds. The plus is that the story is told in multiple POV’s which does give you that much more insight to the characters and who they are and what they are thinking. It was a bit of an emotional read and some broke my heart as the flashbacks told by a tragically tortured soul. I now have to go back and read the other three books in the series and then re read this one to put it all in perspective and look forward to the next book as the story did not end finished.
