My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Prepare to fall in love with Rowan and Chris. I enjoy fake dating tropes mixed with drama and mystery. There was so much to their story together, as much as individually. They come together unexpectedly, and each can’t ignore the pull they feel to each other. This was a great read.
Chris is doing a favor for a friend, and Rowan is trying to keep her family business alive. Together they build an entanglement meant to last.

I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. It was a lot of fun to read. Paranormal aspects, drama, mystery, humor, life lessons, new friendships and the difficulty of trying to fit in. The story was a great read. Once I started it, I did not want to end.

Amy's Rebellion (Gemstone Massacre)Amy’s Rebellion by Julia Goldhirsh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First time read from this author, and it was enjoyable. It is a fantasy novel with its own element. Amy a heroine who was a fearless and fierce. She drove herself as well as the others around her.
This book entangles magic, drama, action, suspense, and a perfect touch of romance.
Amy left her previous life behind. A life in which her decisions were not her own, and the choices were dictated by others. Amy knows she cannot leave her past fully behind, and the evil forces won’t stop until they have her. She determines her own fate now, and the only way to ever be free is to lead her own army against the evil that’s coming. The story that you will not want to miss.

So this is a short but sweet story, it’s about Riley a private detective and Tristan who save Riley from a fire. There’s mystery, a touch of danger and of course the sweet romance. I really enjoyed reading the book. I do wish it was longer but I am still going to read the next book in the series.

White picket fences is a book written from the point of view of a mother who has seen since very tragic times in her life! Julie does all she can throughout this great book to help her family heal from the tragedy they faced – and also relieve her guilty conscience from that fateful day. I loved Julie from the moment I met her in the first chapter, and the author pens a heartfelt story on this book you won’t want to miss. By the end I only wanted to know so much more about their family!

Obedience (Ties That Bind)Obedience by Liza Snow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m old enough to remember what a trip to the circus was like. The thrill and excitement as you sat it utter amazement watching the incredible performers do death defying stunts. The aerialists were always my favorite with the clowns being my LEAST favorite! All these feelings or intrigue and suspense came at me in full bloom as I read the story of Cassandra and Chandler.

So much angst and suspense to keep you reeling for days. And right at the end,,,,your heart drops with a cliffhanger! I hate cliffhangers only because I’m impatient as hell. But this will definitely keep me guessing on what the lies in store in the next book!

Cliché, I know, however, I sometimes forget how much I love poetry and how the simplest poem, can induce such emotion from a person. Thank you for all the feelings! It was a great ride!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a good 4 star read. The series continues with more cases for Madelines team. It felt like I was reading several stories at once with all the clues and things they would discover. You’re on the edge of your seat waiting to see if they can solve all of the cases. We get adventure, mystery, suspense and so much more. Will they solve the cases before its too late? Overall this was a good read, I was pulled in right from the beginning. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. If you’re looking for a thrilling read that has you guessing throughout the book. 1-dlick and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

A meeting of eyes, with a spark of interest, in the coffee shop – exactly what Riley Scott and Tristan Cain have – yet neither of them act on it, each for their own reasons. Yet, as fate would have it, they would see each other again. And so begins their story.

This story was well written with well developed characters and detailed words building. I would recommend this book to others. It was a quick, enjoyable read.

4 Stars

 

Where Fire Meets Flame is the first book in the Yours From the Ashes series by Elena Kincaid. This is an engrossing contemporary romance, with suspense, mystery, action, danger, drama, intrigue, tension, emotion, twists, chemistry, and sizzle.
This is a short story, but it packs the punch of a much longer novel. It has a fast pace, and I finished the book in one easy sitting.
Riley is a strong independent and sassy private investigator. Tristan is a hunky firefighter who has a bit of an agenda. What happens when he comes to Riley’s rescue, more than once? Well, get set because the sparks fly, and things get heated- in more ways than one.
Looking forward to the rest of the series…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Elena Kincaid!

Wow! I absolutely loved this book! Connor and Niamh’s Story filled me with so much joy and excitement, Fae meets vampire! I really need there to be more. I couldn’t stop reading it! I absolutely loved the Irish heritage and culture mixed with the vampire and Fae worlds! So unique and whimsical I couldn’t have asked for more! The music that Thorne picked to include was perfect for the tone of Dawnbreaker! I was so overjoyed that she decided to add a personal playlist for the book at the end. It really helped make her world even more real to me. If you are a lover of fantasy romance this book is a must read! You will not be disappointed!

Where Fire Meets Flame (Yours From The Ashes #1)Where Fire Meets Flame by Elena Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW. So, this book had a very spicy start to say the least. This is the first book I have read by the talented Elena Kincaid, and I am already looking into her other work and ready for book two in the Yours From The Ashes series. Where Fire Meets Flame is a dual perspective, told from Riley and Tristan’s sides.
The book starts with Riley on a case into yet another cheating husband when she is suddenly hit from behind and memories of her car accident 6 months earlier lead into a flashback. Nine months earlier a chance encounter at her favorite coffee shop brings the two main characters together. Instant sparks on both sides but he has a complicated situation and doesn’t want the beautiful redhead caught in the cross hairs. Shannon, the living embodiment of evil if you will. Tristan had attempted to date her for about two months but his work schedule and the fact that there was no spark for him with her. After several instances he has no choice but to get a restraining order against Shannon, but she has a few loose screws and won’t let that stop her from getting near him. Riley and Tristan finally share their first kiss at a night club one night only for Shannon, or as Riley knows her the “grumpy brunette”, to appear. Suddenly, Riley was involved in a seven car pile up days later, and then Tristan is told she is dead. Returning to the present-day, Tristan is holding Riley in his arms trapped in a burning building, she’s alive and every terrible reality comes crashing down, Shannon is behind it all.
Will Riley and Tristan get there happily ever after? Can the police catch Shannon in time? The world the author creates is one based in reality; I have known people in similar situations with a crazy ex. More important is the amazing characters, breaking stereotypes, a petite female that loves kickboxing, and an over six-foot-tall man not afraid to show emotions when overwhelmed. This was the perfect short Sunday read to finish off the month of April and I anxiously await the next installment in this series.

White Picket FencesWhite Picket Fences by Kyle Ann Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kyle Ann Robertson’s White Picket Fences is a hit to the heart for anyone struggling to feel appreciated and valued by those around them. White Picket Fences is a tale about Julie, a wife and mother of 3. Julie struggles with feeling underappreciated and taken for granted by her family. She must come to terms with a new normal after the unexpected death of a child while dealing with the guilt of still feeling like she is being taken for granted. As a mother, I often put the needs of my child before my own. Even before I had my daughter, I was always the one taking care of others. I can relate to Julie’s feelings of not being appreciated. Kyle Ann Robertson takes a topic most don’t discuss but many feel and puts it out in the open for all to see. With great world building and loveable, eerily realistic characters, White Picket Fences is a must-read for fans of family and women’s fiction or anyone struggling to feel less alone in their thoughts.

What a dynamic this duo had. Definitely a satisfying read. Book one in the Yours From The Ashes series and I cannot wait to see what’s next.

I have loved every book I’ve picked up from Elena Kincaid, this one included! Where Fire Meets Flame is the first book in the Yours From The Ashes series and it’s a quick but wonderful start. There is plenty of romance and steamy scenes throughout as well. You’ll devour this in one sitting because you can’t get enough of Tristan and Riley! Their chemistry is amazing, and the characters are quite in-depth for a shorter story. I love the protective vibe I get from Tristan too. I can’t wait for the next book already!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ll Love You Tomorrow is the 3rd book in the Trading Heartbeats trilogy. It can prob be read as a stand alone, but it is better enjoyed as a series. There is a lot of overlapping info from previous stories, and the rocky marriage of Mitch and Lauren started in previous books. There is also the ground work for who is who and background and relationships. I really enjoyed this series so I was excited to read the final book on the Templeton kids. The story was kind of what I expected but not exactly how I expected it. There are a lot of ups and downs, but overall I really loved it. The characters are all wonderful. I enjoy the closeness Lauren has with her brothers, as well as their wives. I really felt for Lauren in this book. She is in a hard place, having to choose between her dream and her dream man, and is struggling. I look forward to more from the author, in other series, as I think this one is wrapped up.
