The first chapter can make or break a book sometimes. If it’s amazing then get sucked in early and if it’s not good you struggle to continue and sometimes you don’t. This book definitely fell into the former. I started reading in bed one evening and next thing I knew I was almost a quarter of the way through the book.
I was able to connect to Luke a lot more than. I would have wanted. Her mother was good at putting herself first and her children were after thoughts on a good day and because of that Luke is determined to be the exact opposite and though it’s good in theory it has it’s draw backs.
Nikolai is a big sexy Russian and will do anything to protect what is his.
This book hit all the boxes for me and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Very good psychological thriller, with some great twists. A wonderful quick read, you won’t want to put down. Susan Specht Oram does a superb job, the characters are so well written as with the whole book, detailed so well that I, felt like I knew them. I really felt for Jackie. Makes me nervous as I am getting older. Do you really trust those you love to take care of you?

This book is a good read. Krysten did an amazing job with character development and showing young adult relationships.
This book follows Landry. She is a teenage girl who is trying to discover herself while having an active social life. As we all know friendships are hard to maintain especially when jealousy and other out forces are intervening. Being young and finding yourself is hard enough now add in jealous friends and love triangles and you have a recipe for disaster.
Teenage girls are ruthless and fight dirty. When someone allows jealousy to get the best of them issues will arise. Landry just wants to try something new and different for herself. She has always tried to blend in and when her friends push her to try something new she now has the chance to stand out. What happens when the girl hardly anyone notices starts getting noticed?
Will popularity and new friends change her? Will she find a boyfriend? Will she be the next up-and-coming model? Read this book to find out what is in store for Landry and her friends.
This book is a military romance that has it all, strippers, Navy Seals, caring Grandma’s. It is completely easy to fall in love with Cutter, our main male character. He is everything you could want in a nicely wrapped package.
Cutter starts out only going for strippers, afterall he isn’t ready to settle down, at least not with just anyone. He wants to find his happily ever after with a woman who is perfect for him and can handle military separations. Zarifah just wants to live her life, dancing and making money doing what she loves. Her ex however thinks he can put a ring on her finger and tell her what she will and will not do. So when he shows up at one of her shows with a weapon desperate to have her or allow no one too. The one thing he does not expect is her to have a personal body guard that is also a Navy Seal. Can Cutter and Zarifah finally find their happily ever after or will the past keep them apart for good?
This is definitely a quick read and the characters are well written. I loved the interactions between Cutter and his grandma. As well as Zarifah and her fellow dancers. There are a few trigger warnings to this novel such as domestic violence but the author does a fantastic job with the topic.

As a student studying Greek mythology, Celtic mythology piqued my interest and the modern spin on the story was the icing on the cake! I got lost in this book, like no one is parenting the children lost. It was such an awesome story and was written so well. I have never read a book like this one and it was such a refreshing change for me. The author wrote it so eloquently and in a way that made me yearn for more information with every page I turned. Loved how it ended and couldn’t recommend enough!

If you enjoy steamy romance and mafia type stories, this one’s for you! I had previously read some of Brooke May’s previous books and this one definitely has romance but added the element of dark romance to the mix. Luke, the strong female lead, has such an independent woman modal with everything she does until Nikolai comes along. Unfortunately, Luke stumbles onto a scene, wrong place wrong time, and is now in shock. Nikolai vows to be there for her and protect her at all costs of this event. This book is quite an emotional rollercoaster in such a good way. Definitely worth the time to read this story!

It’s Caspian’s UnBirthday and Grandpa gifts him with a very unique gift. That gift will take Caspian and Grandpa on an unforgettable adventure for the day!!
This is a super cute book with superior graphics. The colors on the illustrations are very vibrant and capture the eye and will hold a listener or reader’s interest while reading or hearing this story. Children will love the idea of an unbirthday gift and will likely ask for unique gifts, just as Caspian receives!
This was a really cute book! It was also a very silly book! Caspian’s Unbirthday presents are always crazy and fun and adventurous. I love his grandpa, he seems like so much fun to me. The illustrations in this book are colorful and the story is enthralling and keeps you gripped. Children of all ages should enjoy this story very much!
Luke a woman who has a man’s name and is a professional dancer. Who runs away from love because she doesn’t want to be like the woman she despises, her mother. Action packed fast paced book. Nikolai tells Luke he loves her. Then she runs away. He keeps tabs tell the perfect opportunity presents itself.

This was a good read in how realistic Landry’s every day life was as a young teenage girl- you know, other than the modeling contract, that’s less ordinary! What WAS ordinary, sadly, is how her “friends” responded. So many themes of this story rang true from what I remember of my teenage years; the insecurities and desires to fit in, the boy crazy feelings that run through groups of friends and the fear of offending anyone and everyone unintentionally. In all honesty, the realistic nature of the stories left me feeling uncomfortable remembering my own teenage years, not something I had anticipated reliving any time soon! Kudos to Ms. Hager for creating parallels that most every teenage girl can relate to!

This book is my favourite of the series so far. I knew, just from the description, that I was going to enjoy this book but I didn’t expect it to be one I couldn’t put down. I read this book in one sitting because I could not get enough of the characters. They were so real. Their journey isn’t something you just read about, it is something you experience with them. The story itself fit the characters perfectly. It was well thought out and perfectly executed. I could have kept reading for much longer than the book goes on for. I am excited and sad for the next book as it means more of this fantastic series but it is also the last. In the meantime I will just re-read this book again.

This is an intriguing story right from the start. There is a lot going on and it felt as though the story could go any way at any time. I was hooked on the story and just had to know how it would develop. The author captured Dominic’s emotions so well. You could it across each page as he experienced everything he goes through. For me, this added a depth to the book that otherwise could have been missing. This author never fails to capture my attention with her writing style. Each book she releases is different from the previous ones and yet has her familiar feel to it. I have enjoyed every book I have read and this one is no exception. I thought this was a great story and I would definitely recommend it.

This is a really good second-chance mafia romance. I really enjoyed the plot line and the way May advanced her story. Nothing ever felt rushed but I never felt there was anything missing either. I loved the character development of Luke (Lu) and Nikolai. We get their backstory and how they were once a couple, but Lu ran after Nikolai expressed his feelings for her. Lu thoughts she’d left Nikolai behind, but he had been keeping a close eye on her all this time and she wasn’t as over him as she thought she was. If you are looking for a dark, steamy romance then look no further; this is the book for you. It’s a quick read, I didn’t want to put it down!

This is my typical go to type of book to read BUT I am so glad I chose it!! It was so good! The book was about historical spy thriller. Operation Blackbird was so intense and action packed you will enjoy every page of it! It was a page turner for me. The world building, characters, and plot was thought out perfectly!!

This is the third book in a series, but I found that it could stand alone. I have yet to read the first two. The characters and plot certainly kept my attention. I finished it in one night, because I just didn’t want to put it down. There’s murder, suspense, mystery, and twists! I just thought I had it figured out.

Jacklyn Stone is struggling to overcome the sudden death of her husband. She is trying to wade her way through the grieving process but feels overwhelmed by the myriad of emotions that she is experiencing. After losing the love of her life Jacklyn feels lost and lonely without him and often feels extreme guilt over having not been able to save her husband. At other times she feels anger over the secrets that her husband kept hidden from her during their marriage.
Jacklyn is usually strong and outgoing but now she struggles to keep herself going and chooses to stay home reading instead. Normally a competent business woman Jacklyn now finds her once thriving business starting to flounder. She feels as though she is losing a grip on her life and in the midst of her grief starts to make small mistakes. Her son, Dusty, and her daughter, Rose, are concerned about their mom’s mental health so they offer to take her on a mini vacation to a retreat where she can relax and heal.
Jacklyn is hesitant to go to the retreat but once she sees the beautiful surroundings she feels as though this might be just what she needed to heal. However, once inside Shore Lodge she soon discovers that there is something far more sinister at work. Jacklyn soon discovers that it is actually a psychiatric facility and that she has no hope of ever leaving. Her children have not only lied to her, but they have abandoned her and had her committed. Cut off from the outside world Jacklyn struggles to maintain her sanity and find a way to escape from the facility.
This book was a roller coaster ride of emotions for me. I felt great empathy for Jacklyn and my heart broke for her to see what her children did to her. She was grieving the loss of her husband of 37 years and rather than show compassion her children had her committed to a psychiatric facility. Then being spoken to and treated as though she was crazy by the staff made me cringe and I wanted to scream at them for mistreating Jacklyn.
Dusty seemed kind and caring initially and at first glance he seems to have his mom’s best interests at heart. It does not take long to realize that all he cares about is himself and his own gain. Dusty made me so angry that he took advantage of his mom like that when she was experiencing such loss and trauma. He was the epitome of evil and is clearly a narcissist who could not see beyond his own selfish needs with no thought to how it effected others. I could not fathom ever doing such horrible things to my own mother or being so cruel and heartless. Rose seemed as though she was just too wrapped up in her own life and her pursuit of a career to find time for her mom. It was easier to let someone else take charge so she could do her own thing. In time, it seems that Rose does care for her mom and wants to help her. Whether Rose felt guilty and changed her mind about having her mom committed, or she had a change of heart, is the question.
This book was intense from start to finish and will have you questioning who you truly trust! A must read for anyone looking for a psychological thriller.

This was written by a new writer to me, so I was not sure what to expect. A friend recommended it after she read it and I am so glad that she mentioned it to me. It was highly enjoyable and not at all what I expected. In other words, it is not my typical fairy tale romance as it involved an arranged marriage of characters from two different worlds. The heroine is such a strong-willed character that you cannot help but love her. She is prepared to do whatever it takes and will stop at nothing to save her people even if it means marrying someone she does not love. Of course, throughout the story and all the incidents that occur it is no surprise at how the story ends. It was an extremely fast paced read for me and I would highly recommend it if you are into young adult romances.

Throwing The Curve Playing for Keeps Series By Lauren Fraser
I Loved this book!! After Reading Everything to Me, the 1st book in this series and Loving it, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Book 2, Throwing The Curve and it did not disappoint!! However this book can be read on it’s own but I suggest reading both! I’m not one to give out to much info in a review because When I start reading a book I don’t want spoilers. If you read the 1st one and loved it, you’ll love this one too, if you didn’t read the first one it’s ok read this then go back to the other! This book focuses on Ryan ( Kendall’s brother and Pete’s best friend) and a woman named Peyton who I really liked! Lauren Fraser is officially on my list of Authors to read more of. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed this romance. Its a story full of twists and turns which keeps me hooked. The author does an amazing job with the characters and really brings them to life. I love how Luke is really independent and wants to do things her own way. And i love how fierce and protective Nikolai is.
Luke and Nikolai have had an intimate past. But when a Luke calls it off Nikolai isn’t ready to let her go so easily. Luke moves forward living her life the way she chooses with no thought for anyone. Meanwhile Nikolai keeps an eye on her from a distance.
When Luke witnessed an event that puts her in danger Nikolai is right there to protect her and keep her safe, but Luke isn’t going to give up without a fight. She’s not so sure she wants to be back with a man like Nikolai even if it keeps her safe
This story is a dark Mafia Romance. There’s is chemistry and lots of push and pull as both out characters fight for what they want. Will it be each other?

As a bee lover, I can truly appreciate this book for sharing so much useful information. I mean, the way the author made it was a clever read for me as an adult and easy for kids to understand as well. I’m beyond impressed with what and how my son was able to pick up on the importance. The characters were easy to love and understand as well. My 7 and 3 year old boys enjoyed this story as much as I did and I’m 35, LOL! Great read for the family to enjoy.

This book was ok for me. I’m not really into dark mafia so I had a had time engaging in the plot. I did like the chemistry between Luke and Nikolai. The Russian also made it a little hard for me to stay engaged too. I did like the different POV of the story.

Hit on You by Brooke May. This is a great mafia romance which I love. I love this author as well. This is the story of Luke whose biggest fear is ending up like her mom and thinking she always has to have a man. She wants to be completely independent. When she meets Nikolai Bazhenov, a made man, she knows he is dangerous but thinks one time won’t hurt. Problem is Nikolai won’t let her go. He can’t stop thinking about her. When she witnesses something that she stumbled onto she has to call Nikolai to help her out of the situation. Nikolai doesn’t realize that Luke is also running from someone in her past and has more than one target on her back. Will Nikolai be able to save her? Read this dark mafia romance to find out.

This book is hitting me in all the areas that I need from a great mafia book. The main character is a very strong willed and determined female. I love the fact that her name is Luke. She is wanting to be in control of her own life and doesn’t want to feel like she needs to answer to anyone for what she wants in life. Her only downfall (as she sees it) is who she loves. He is dark and mysterious and everything that she feels she doesn’t need in life. It is one of those instances when you know what you want but feel that it isn’t good for you. This causes some tension with the main characters. It is a constant back and forth with them. Each page will have you wondering if they can overcome the issues that are in front of them? Will they be able to see how good they can be together? Will his position really strangle the freedom that she is craving? Those were the things that I constantly asked myself the whole time reading this book and what kept me turning the pages. It is a very steamy dark romance and I ate it up. It has everything from danger to angry love. This book won’t disappoint if you are a regular mafia romance reader. If you haven’t read that genre before be prepared for a steamy bumpy ride. It will be well worth it.

This book is book four of the series but each book in the series is a complete standalone. This is the first book I’ve read of the series and while I didn’t feel lost at all, I’m definitely going back to read the rest because it was just too good not to.
This book sucked me in right from the beginning. I’m a sucker for the best friend’s brother trope. Soleil has loved Tripp for as long as she can remember. What she doesn’t know is how Tripp has felt about her. Soleil’s background is complicated and that’s why she needs the help of Red Cage. She needs to find out what secrets are hiding. I’m not going to give anything away but wow! Red a cage figures out what’s hiding and that’s all I’ll say about that. There is a lot of intrigue and mystery and I couldn’t put this book down!
Soleil and Tripp are great characters. There is so much chemistry between them it was jumping off the pages! Can’t forget best friend/sister Tillie. All the characters were well written making this a definite book to read!

I wasn’t sure who I was rooting for most of the book. This second chance romance, had me in many emotions as Mavis navigates her way through feelings of twin brothers.
These characters were so relatable.
I highly recommend this book! I’ll be reading the next book in the trilogy soon!

Peyton thought she had met the guy she could possible settle down with but when she is invited to his friends barbeque and realises he has a wife her whole world comes crashing down. So when Steve pushes her off to his team-mate Ryan when Steve’s wife makes an appearance Peyton is a little annoyed.
Totally embarrassed Peyton makes he way out of the party but once away from the humiliation she discovers Ryan is one of the player due to be in her mentorship program so biting the bullet she approaches him and is met with a proposition. To be Ryan’s fake girlfriend?
Ryan is the loner not really a party man but can’t get over the blant way some of his team mates cheat on their wives, when one particular player becomes unstuck with the lie he drags in Ryan to save face from his wife and becomes utterly annoyed with the situation. But Ryan can’t let this woman go, the fire and sass this woman has makes for an interesting game and the sexual chemistry is off the charts with them. So he decides to offer her a solution, a kind of Friends with Benefits situation with a few fake dates thrown in.
We all know what will happen with that, it never runs as smoothly and this relationship gets interesting the more they argue with each other they are not attracted to each other.
I loved this book, the Enemies to Friends genre is one I am becoming very fond of, these two characters are both fiery and strong willed, both not willing to admit their feelings are growing between them which makes for an interesting story. The story is well written and flows along brilliantly with each turn of the page. Peyton’s character although a bit naïve at the beginning grows with you as you read her past and understand why she is so guarded. I loved the character of Ryan, the cocky ball player who has a mushy heart underneath although not original was heart warming and brilliant.
I loved the additional characters in the form of Ryan’s sister Kendall and how she helps Peyton with her insecurities when it comes to Ryan, overall the story was lovely and would love to read more from this series and hopefully see Steve get what he deserves.
