London Detective Agency: The Complete SeriesLondon Detective Agency: The Complete Series by Stephanie R. Caffrey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mistaken Identity is the first book in the duo. I did something I didn’t think was possible, I read this book in one day, but once I got started reading I had a very hard time putting it down.

One minute Evelyn is running through the airport with her biggest concern being making her connecting flight out of London. Running into a total stranger changes everything and thankfully it’s not all negative.

Evelyn and Patrick are like oil and water. Then they were so much more. Throw in running from dangerous people only adds to the danger and intrigue of their situation.

Be My Little Baby is the second. James and Tessa have quite the interesting relationship. She starts as a client with a stalker and then it ends up so much more. Throw in some longtime friends on both sides and it ends up being entertaining.

I love trying to figure out who the villain of the story is since most have at least one. I went between two most of the way through, then it clicked with me just before we found out. Love that it kept my brain working and it wasn’t as obvious to me, but I’m sure others will figure it out sooner.

A Safe Place: Philly Heat Series, #6

I need a dog like Bravo in my life, think he would get along great with my sweet Daisy. He was such a good boy, protecting Madison and Kat even when it wasn’t necessary.

Madison’s story broke my heart, she built a good life for herself in spite of the tough beginning. She pours her heart into a pretty thankless job to take care of kids who have no one else or could have better people in their lives.

Nate and Kat’s story is sad but not like Madisons, they at least had their grandmother to care for them until she passes while Nate is overseas leaving Kat to fend for herself. She finds herself in a dangerous situation when she sees something she shouldn’t have.

I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by Ms. Flade in the future.

Shadows in the Dark (Dark Lotus #1)Shadows in the Dark by Anise Storm

Shadows In The Dark (Dark Lotus Book 1)

This is a book is hot, intense, dark with some mystery and suspense.

Brynn is grieving the loss of her older sister after she was found dead. She moves into her sister’s place and takes care of her sweet dog Lug Nut. As she settles into her new life and learning how to go on without her sister Blair she learns some things about her which intrigued and surprised her. No idea the can of worms she opened when logs into Olympus from Blair’s computer.

Adrain is an introvert who is Dom and very involved at Lotus. He is fascinated with Brynn from their first conversation. Something about her speaks to him and his BSDM Dom ways.

This is the first book of the trilogy and I cannot wait for the next two to be released. I need to know how this ends, and when it comes to books I have really enjoyed I have almost no patience while waiting for the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Fixer: An Enemies to Lovers Small-Town Romance (Book 2 in the Fall River Series)

Of the three brothers I think Charlie is my favorite, I think it was Noah that described him as a golden retriever and honestly that is a pretty accurate description of him. He and Joy while they are interested want nothing to do with the other and I understand it at first.

Mother/daughter relationships are challenging on the best of days. Joy and her mother don’t have a relationship and speaking from experience it sucks to not have the love and support of the one person who should be your biggest cheerleader.

The dynamic between Charlie and Joy is a very very cold to maybe tepid initially but that changes, they seem to grow on one another.

I cannot wait for Reece’s book. I’m dying to know what makes him tick. Until then I will sit and wonder.

The Keeper: An Opposites Attract Small-Town Romance (Book 1 in the Fall River Series)

I feel like Hailey and I could be soul mates especially when it comes to her giant heart when it comes to animals. Noah and Hailey’s story starts with a dog and a snow storm. After a night in his wrecked truck they are saved and I think both of them expected their lives to go back to normal. The exact opposite happened.

Noah is a good guy who made some stupid decisions when younger and he is still trying to prove himself to his Dad which is why it’s so important for the bar to be successful.

So much happens to Noah and Hailey both individually and together but they figure it out.

This was a great introduction to the people of Fall River. I absolutely adore Dixie and her eccentric ways, both of Noah’s brothers and of course the dogs. I have already started and finished Charlie’s story and now I must wait for Reece’s along with several others from this fun small town.

Love and Fate: A Braebeach Rockstar Romance (Book 2) (Braebeach Rockstar Romance Series)

I can usually get a feel for a book pretty early on. This one caught me off guard. I didn’t expect to cry at all, but definitely not before chapter 3.

Tommy and Angie’s story is not a fast paced story, this one takes a long time and several things before they get their happily ever after. But it was well worth the wait for them.

I couldn’t imagine having to start my life over after being with someone for so many years. But both Tommy and Angie do it while making it look fairly easy.

Definitely didn’t like Chelsea and feel like she got off too easy, hoping karma comes for her soon.

Please let Max be the next one of the boys to fall. I have a good feeling about his story and I can’t wait to see if what my mind is coming up with is close to what happens.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Trouble with Possibilities

This is the second book I have read recently with an older woman closer to my age and I was able to relate to her, especially with how she felt during her marriage. It caught me by surprise and that caused me to have to step away from the book for a break.

But I went back in and I’m so glad I did. Delaney won me over from the beginning and I definitely understood a lot of her feelings as a woman and the mother of grown children, but I didn’t have the opportunity to go to Africa to get my head back to where it needed to be.

The hate hate relationship between Del and David was great, there is one scene that stands out after Julia left for a short trip away that may have made me chuckle a few times during and later when I thought about it.

I was pleasantly surprised when I realized this was her first release. This was well written, the characters had depth and an enjoyable story to read. Hope to see more from Ms. Abuhaidar in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups Book 3)

Romance has always been my preferred genre, young couples falling in love and figuring it out. As I have aged I find myself comparing the characters to my adult daughters. This series is the first one in quite a while that I can relate to the main female characters.

Chloe while younger than me is starting to go through that change so many of us women dread while she is also starting over after so many years away from home.

Nikolai the broody goalie for the Storm Chasers is focused on his daughter and playing. He doesn’t feel like he can divide his time more than that.

Lots of build up between the two and some incredibly hot moments after the succumb to their feelings.

I have loved each of these books, but think this may be my favorite so far. Looking forward to the next one. Hoping it will be Rhodes that falls next.

A Tale of Two Crushes

This was a cute and wholesome story. So often even the young adult books are more detailed than they should be and not geared towards anyone that young.

Holland is the new girl at school after moving from Colorado. She doesn’t know a single person, that is until a knight in shining armor stepped in to show her around. If only their story was as smooth and easy as their meeting, without the awkwardness.

Holland misses home and her friends but seems to settle in well in her new school, friends and town. Friends are the best and if you’re lucky you can find your best friend like I did mine all those years ago.

The sibling relationships were dead on accurate and may have made me kaufg a few times.

While I was a little older than the target age group I enjoyed Holland’s story and her group of friends.

Corpse Pixie

This is the second book I have had the pleasure of reading by Ms.Styx, while this is not my normal genre there is something about her writing that has me wanting to read more.

Rene and Belladonna meet in a very odd way, at a crime scene. Their story isn’t the normal love story but that was okay with me.

Rene’s only goal is to find out who murdered his twin sister. He gets help with his search from Belladonna and discovers there are some unexpected forces at work.

This was a quick and enjoyable read, perfect for a Sunday afternoon while watching football. While short the characters were well developed. I will be looking for more books by Ms. Styx in the future.

Forever to Fall (Buckeye Falls Book 5)

Mallory is finally getting to tell her story and I loved it. We have gotten to know Mallory ad Evan’s sister. Now wee get to know Mallory the woman who lost her heart a long time ago.

She and Beckett grew up together and spent lots of time together since he is Evan’s best friend. There was something that drew them to one another and after several years without seeing or speaking to one another they find their way back to one another.

While I think they are soulmates I think they both needed the time to discover who they are and establish their lives individually.

I would love to visit a place like Buckeye Falls, it seems like a great place full of great people.

Forbiddenly Yours (Titans of Chicago Book 2)

Callum is one of the Chicago Titans, he is one of the elite of the elite and gets what he wants when he wants it.

Nicole is the sister, daughter and niece of Titans from LA and NYC, she knows exactly what to expect from the Titans. Even being aware she wasn’t ready for Callum and her feelings.

Callum and Nicole’s story lacked nothing. From the moment they met while on vacation the sparks fly, and had an incredibly hot night with no inhibitions since it was a vacation fling. But after running into one another in the one place neither of them expected they would have to fight their attraction.

Each of these books is a standalone, but I find books like this you need to know the history and other characters and I think it gives you a better understanding of everyone and their personalities.

I have been obsessed with the Titans since I read met the guys in New York and hope the mention of the LA Titans means there will be another spinoff series.

Murder in Prospect: An Eve Sawyer Mystery

With some series it takes a chapter or two to remember the previous book/books and storyline. That was not the case with this book.

Eve is a great friend and she proves it once again when Bob come to her for help and she goes with no questions.

Bob has a feeling the death of his Uncle Will isn’t as cut and dry as it appears. The vibes from his Uncle the last time they saw each other was very different from Will’s usual.

I love trying to figure things out before the reveal and this time I got it, but it took me a bit.

I have enjoyed the Eve Sawyer books I have read, hope to see more in the future.

Shooter is starting his life after college and the Academy and Trinity finally gets to live her life how she wants.

I have added this series to my ever growing TBR list so I can get caught up.

RELEASE (Rewind)

I loved being able to catch up with all of the characters and their families as well as seeing how far they have come since I was first introduced to each one.

A lot has happened over the years, but there is a lot that happens in this book. Each one has grown and changed in the best ways even if it took some longer than others.

Adrien broke my heart several times, but there is one that stands out more to me than the rest. I’m so glad he had both Raphael and his sister Celeste to support him and walk with him. I also think he is the one who grew the most over the course of this book.

I would love to see each one of these characters in the future but I also think this was the perfect way to say bye to them.

This book would be better enjoyed if you have the others since there is so much recall from the earlier books. But the intimate moments were not for the pearl clutches.

Hope to see more books by Ms. Shaw in the future.

Offsides: Game Time Series

Three books into the series and I fall in love with these characters a little more with each book. Callahan and Jamaica are still around as are Bax and Piper. We get to know Finn and Chessly on a more intimate level and learn what makes them tick.

Finn is a super polite guy who hates to be rude, but that inability ends up making some things so much harder, like impress Chessly enough to get her to go on a date.

I get Chessly more than I expected, our tolerance for garbage and fakeness is quite low and sometimes we say things outloud when we thought it was all in our heads.

The crossover between the books and the lining up of the timelines is impressive, I don’t know if I could keep it all straight.

I love all of the boys and look forward to the remaining stories.

Hooked: The Merciless Few

Reading this one was a much different experience than reading the first one for me. I had no clue about Fiend’s history, the most recent history may have caught me more off guard than his teenage years.

Jett who we all know as Fiend has so many problems and it seemed to me that most if not all of the problems came from his relationship with his dad. As someone who has had a complicated relationship with a parent I know how hard it is to let go and try not to let it affect every day life, it’s basically impossible.

He has several setbacks and stumbles but he works on improving himself all the way around.

I loved that the book had some crossover in the timeline but instead of Reaper’s perspective see how everything unfolds through Fiend’s eye.

I enjoyed this book and really liking the series overall. Not sure which one is going to fall but I’m expecting it to be in spectacular fashion.

The Human Mating Site, Complete Series : A Steamy, Dating Humour Romance

I really enjoyed going on this journey with Bella. From the moments after she and her husband split and her world is flipped to finding her true happiness there was so many funny and hot moments. And I fell in love with her cat Daisy, am a bit partial to that name since that is my dog’s name.

I couldn’t even imagine having to learn how to navigate the dating world after being out so long, but Bella finds a way to make it work, well some of the time.

She found some gems but also some really big duds. I think Jenson and David were my favorites, and there are two I really didn’t like, one was immediate and the other one did the unforgivable. The important thing is that her friends were there to support her the entire time. Like most women her friends are her tribe and they support her no matter what, even if they don’t agree with.

I was excited to see one of the guys will be telling his story soon. Really looking forward to that.

Alexis is in danger after accidentally discovering something that has the potential to be very dangerous. Sebastian is there to help her stay safe and maybe fall in love.

The adventure and suspense doesn’t let up one bit and I may have developed a little crush on Alexis after the shoe incident.

This only thing I was disappointed in was the fact I had not read the first book in the series. It’s not necessary to read it, but I’m one of those who hate reading series out of order. I will end up going back, reading the first and re-reading this second book.

James and Tessa have quite the interesting relationship. She starts as a client with a stalker and then it ends up so much more. Throw in some longtime friends on both sides and it ends up being entertaining.

Back in the Ring (The Predator Series Book 4)

I have been hooked on this series since I first started it and couldn’t wait to dive into this book. Then I read the prologe and had to step away for a few days. I was not expecting that at all.

Once I got my feelings in check I opened the book and I’m so glad I did. I instantly fell in love with Bijou and her daughter Claire as well as the relationship they have with one another. Definitely one I have wished I could have with my Mom and with my daughters. My girls and I are close but nothing like Bijou and Claire.

This is about healing and embracing a second chance at love and a normal life. I’m so glad they were each able to find the person to help make the holes in their hearts smaller, but never completely. It’s hard to lose someone you love and the pain grief don’t ever truly go away.

I really hope there will be more in this series. I will be waiting impatiently hoping that someone in this group isn’t done with their story and starts talking to Ms. May.

Malice (Demented Souls Book 14)

How did so many books get released without me realizing it? I have no idea but now I need to find time to get caught up.

Malice who appears to be one of the newer ranch hands and patched in member of the Demented Souls was in the right place at the right time and steps in to help a woman for other reason then to be a good guy and do the right thing.

Bonnie is gutsy, she wasn’t going to allow someone to dictate to her how she should live her life. Pride is a good thing but when it gets in the way of making the right choice then it’s time to let that go.

I liked how the guys all worked together on the ranch and other things that popped up. Definitely a brotherhood and wish women would do this more of one another.

This was quite an introduction to the Demented Souls but also to Ms. Stevens and her books.

Finding Hope: A Small Town Beach Romance (Half Moon Bay Series Book 1)

The book started in such a happy way. Hope was starting a new life in St. Croix after many years in Chicago, but how she got there was so very sad and we learn all about it.

Hope’s life was great until it wasn’t. She had a guy and a job with aspirations of moving higher up but that changes quickly. She leaves it all behind to go to Half Moon Bay

Alex hides a lot of his feelings, I think that is due to his time in the Navy and not showing weakness as a precaution. He loves his job and the Island and feels thrown off by Hope’s arrival for so many different reasons.

I have never left the US and would love to find a way to make a trip there. The island and people sounded absolutely wonderful.

I cannot wait to dive (pun intended) into book 2 in the series, and see what happens next.

Rock Crush and Roll

I adored Tyler from the beginning and once I got to know her it grew from there. She comes from a musical family and her gift was helping the musicians make it and keep it. She also has the most adorable dog Rory and I would love to snuggle with him.

Cary a popular musician who is in the second half of his career will do anything for those he cares about and number one on that list is Tyler.

I think my favorite part was when they were in Austin. Having lived in the area as long as I have it made me happy to know the places they went to and that they were really places.

This was a good debut for Ms. Snow and I hope to read more of her in the future.

Wild King (King Brothers Book 2)

Of all of the King brothers I felt that Kellen was the least understood of them. He’s smart, hard working and dedicated most of the time. But after Theo he went in the complete opposite direction and turned into a jerk we was catch a glimpse of very early in the book.

He ends up having life blow up in his face while he is away on a long weekend and with a woman he meets that intrigues him, which I think scared him.

Salem had no plans to see her mystery island man again once they leave. Life has a funny way of making the unexpected happen.

Kellen takes on a Jekyll and Hyde personality to everyone especially his family, he is the most angry about things in the aftermath. Though angry you could tell there was more there, but I really wanted to smack him a time or twenty.

Marius is the one I’m really looking forward to, he is the most complex of the Kings and I can’t wait.

Falling Down (Rockstar, Book 1)

Lucy’s life was one that so many dreamed of as a kid. To meet your favorite musician and to make it big in Hollywood. She achieved both by her early/mid 20’s, she could never have thought the two would cross over.

Jesse the lead singer of Falling Down has been on top for a long time. Had his share of women and lots of success. He goes in with his band to shoot a video and walks away with so much more.

This was a nice break from the books where they don’t communicate and end up breaking up for some stupid reason that could have been avoided if they had just spoken with one another.

The intimate scenes were worth reading slowly so I didn’t miss a word. I also developed some shower envy for Jesse’s shower.

I’m fully invested with these characters and plan on working my way through the series as quickly as I can.

Ivy and Falcon have a deep love, but something causes problems in their relationship. I would have liked a little more of a back story and how they got them to where they were.

I was able to get this read during my lunch break with time to spare. If you find yourself looking for something to keep you busy for a short time i would suggest looking into it.

I’m very picky when it comes to my MC reads. I have been burned a few times in the past, throw in the fact that Ms. Courtney is a new to me author I was hesitate, but something peaked my interest. When I find a series I like I go all in and will read them all. The Merciless Few has joined the must read them all.

The first to fall is Reaper and as with most books and real life it happens when he wasn’t looking for or expecting love. He is fresh from a relationship that didn’t end well and had no interest.

Avi and Raven bring out his protective side and help him heal, but they also help him heal.

I loved each and every member we were introduced to in this book and I can’t wait for the next one. I have it’s release date in my calendar.

I liked Beth from the very beginning of Katie’s story but getting to know her made me love her and brought out my strong desire to comfort and mother her.

Scott is always there to help Chamberlain and Katie , but he never took the time to live his life. It was all centered around training Chamberlain and traveling to the different fights, but Beth changed everything the moment he saw her.

The back and forth between Scott and Beth was entertaining. They made me laugh more times than I can count but there were also some tears shed.

I have the next book on my Kindle ready to read and I cannot wait to dive in.

Taste of HoneyTaste of Honey by Julie Castle

Taste of Honey

I had an expectation after reading the synopsis of each story and my expectations were met with each of the stories.

There were parts of Penelope and Vlad’s stories I liked, but of the three it was the one I felt was missing something. While enjoyable it was my least favorite.

Courtney and Dragon’s story had lots of hot moments and some danger thrown in. The chemistry the author was trying to create come through loud and clear. There is one scene in the second half that was probably one of the best I have read in a while.

Laura and Nick’s story definitely had a Pretty Woman vibe which I’m assuming was intentional. I was hooked on this particular story before I finished chapter 1.

Each of these ladies is sassy, strong and independent. They each let go of their inhibitions after a short time. Dom/sub relationships are based on trust of one another. While that trust wasn’t there in the beginning it was built and further strengthened the bond between each of the couples.

Hot and heavy love scenes are not for pearl clutches, but I think the average woman will enjoy them.
