Spouse Trap: Madeline Dawkins Mysteries (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 1) by Cynthia Hamilton

This book was everything the synopsis said and more. So often I read about the book and it doesn’t quite deliver the way I expected, which is on me.

Madeleine did everything a woman in her situation would have done in the beginning, but as she started processing and thinking with her brain instead of emotions she wanted answers and dis she get them or what?

The emotions were flying all around during this book. Grief, anger, pain, humor are just a few and I could feel some of them with Madeleine.

There are a few things I felt like were left hanging, but since it’s a series and I have only just completed reading this book I’ll wait to see if some of my loose ends get tied up.

I highly recommend giving this book a try, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Forgotten Truth Trilogy: Book One (The Forgotten Trilogy 1) by Virginia Wine

Bryer starts a new life after a painful breakup and ends up living near her best friend Gen. She has no idea what she’s in store for now that she has met Nathan the hot trainer at the gym she works out at and he owns.

Nathan is nothing like you would expect him to be to a point. But Bryer is a game changer for him.

This book was hard for me to put down. I was having a tough night sleeping, I picked it up to read a few pages to try and fall back to sleep. I glanced up and I had read over a quarter of the book.

This story grabs you in a very unexpected way and I loved it. There was some drama and lots of suspense and amazing hot romance.

I can’t wait to read the next book, think it’s going to be a good one.

Hawk’s Cry : Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #2 by Manda Mellet

Hawk and Olivia have had so much happen to them over the last few months. Most of it good, but then they get blindsided by something nobody could have ever anticipated.

Olivia is a rock and she showed that time and time again throughout this story. She showed the depth of her love for Hawk as well as an inner strength that I wouldn’t have expected from her.

I really wanted to pop Hawk in the head a few times, but as the story went on and things started to make sense I decided get needed hugs instead.

I’m so hooked on this series. I love how we are able to keep up with the couples from the previous books and try to figure out which one of the Devil’s is going down next.

Holding Out for You by Anna Paige

I don’t know why Ms. Paige isn’t on top of my go to authors but I’m going to fix that. This is not the first book I have read by her where I got so sucked into the story I lost track of time. I was up way too late reading on a work night, but I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen between Blair and Ashton.

This story takes you through every possible emotion. I laughed several times, cried couple of times, was horrified, happy, relieved, worried and most of those feelings were just the first few chapters.

I loved the dynamic between Ashton, Becker, Blair and Charli. All of them grew up together. The guys have been best friends since they were six and Blair being Becker’s little sister and Charli being her best friend means the girls were always around the boys.

Loved the way it ended. I usually feel like there is something missing at the end of books and keep hoping there will be additional books in the series but I don’t feel that way this time. As much as I loved everyone I’m happy with the ending. She tied up the loose ends up perfectly for me, though I wouldn’t be too upset if this group showed up again in the future.

Rise (The Larussio Legacy Book 2) by Via Mari

The saga continues, we get to know Giovanni and Serena better and watch their relationship develop, grow and change from beginning to end.

There are so many things that happen in the book, I’m not even sure where to start with my thoughts and feelings.

I found myself getting very frustrated with Serena and thinking she needed to be throttled. I couldn’t believe she pulled what she did without out thinking it through. It could have ended up so much worse then it did.

Giovanni is understandably a over cautious control freak. He is the future of the Larussio family and that reason alone puts a huge target on himself and the people he cares about, but there is no way he could have seen all of that coming his way.

I loved getting to see Katerina and Chase even though it was a fairly brief appearance. They still are my favorite of the couples, though Giovanni and Serena have a chance depending on what happens in the next book.

Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set)Southern Promises: The Complete Series by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Southern Promises: The Complete Series: (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set)

Georgia Clay is the first book in the Southern Promises series. I managed to read this book in an afternoon because I couldn’t put it down.

Katie had no idea what would happen to her when she agreed to go to her ten year high school reunion. I think we all have that one person from our youth that we play the what if game with. I know I do, and even after all of these years I still think of John from time to time.

Clay is sigh worthy. I’m a sucker for the southern accent and I could just imagine his sexy drawl while reading.

Georgia on My Mind is the second book and I think I liked it a bit more than the first. There was just something about Gia and Hart that drew me in from the very start.

Hart was an immature playboy who to me acted like the world owed him. Thankfully he gets taught a very important lesson and finally decides to grow up and be the man his parents raised him to be.

Gia’s back story just made me sad. She has been through so much and she was busting her tail to hold on to the happy part of her childhood.

Georgia Pine is the third book. I loved this book. There was something amazingly sweet and special about Jessica and Tim’s story.

I got tired reading this book and how Jessica kept up with four little girls aged six and younger. I was a single Mom with just one daughter and she wore me out couldn’t imagine having four daughters.

Tim reminded me a little of my husband, he jumped in and was instantly part of the family. It takes a special man to get involved with a single Mom and Tim was just that.

I hope we see more books in this series. I’m not ready to let this group go.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 4-6): A Small Town Romantic Comedy Series by KL Montgomery

This set has books four through six in the series and I loved each of them. Each story has Romance but it’s heavy on the humor and the schemes the couples find themselves involved alone are worth reading.

Badge Bunny is the fourth book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. I have been loyal to this series since book one and will continue to read the series as long as she writes them.

Brynne is my soulmate. Her love on the old school metal bands made me love her that much more.  Chris is a big softy in a hot police officers body.

So much happened in this book, and I’m not sure which part was my favorite. I think it was one of their moments in the hospital after Chris had a rather interesting call.

Wedding Wars is the fifth book and it was great. I loved watching the little guy stand up to the giant and wish Mom and Pop shops could fight the evil empire big corporation stores.

Hannah and Jason have so much history with one another but it was adjacent not direct history which I think made their story that much sweeter and hilarious.

I still can’t decide my favorite scene, it’s either the carriage ride or the big wedding. Both of those had me flipping pages as fast as I could read them.

The final book in this set is Stage Mom and Hailey had me wrapped around her finger from the moment we met her. What an amazing little girl and her mom Larissa is responsible for that.

Mateo has great ideas on how to bring the pageant into the current century and making it his after his grandmother retired.

There are so many things I loved about this particular story, but they could be considered spoilers and I wouldn’t want to ruin anything for anyone.

You will need to read them for yourself to find out.

Read Between The Lines (Freshwater Book 1) by Belinda Williams

Kat is a woman with a successful career and is a local celebrity in her hometown. She’s satisfied with her life, or so she thinks. She meets Matt in the most interesting way and life gets more interesting from there.

Matt is Super Doc and shows that to us several times. He is smart, confident, humble and vulnerable which made me fall for him. I loved that he isn’t the typical perfect, flawless book boyfriend.

My big question is how did I not know about this author before I stumbled on this book? I have no idea how that happened but now that I have found her I’m going to get caught up with everything she has released so far and I will be keeping up with this series.

Love is What You Bake of it (The Meraki Series Book 1) by Effie Kammenou

Pastry chefs have a very special place in my heart, my older daughter is one and I know the work and dedication it takes to be successful. Kally has worked extremely hard to have a successful business and the pride she has in that comes through.

Max is starting over in his hometown. He got my respect early on when I found out a little more about him and as I learned more my respect for him grew. He is definitely the type of guy any parent would be happy to see their daughter bring home.

I believe it’s the little details that add so much to a book and Ms. Kammenou did a great job with the little details about each of the characters and their stories. I really loved learning a little more about the Greek culture and cuisine and I look forward to getting to know the Andarakis family more and watch each of them develop and grow.

Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance #9)Two Hearts Unlikely Heroes by Tamara Ferguson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

TWO HEARTS UNLIKELY HEROES is the ninth book in the Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance series by Tamara Ferguson.

This book has a little bit of everything, suspense, romance, humor, etc. more on the romance than the suspense of the previous books but it worked.

Sam is amazing, she’s a very strong woman who demands respect from her soldiers and she gets it. She has no idea what to expect when she meets Ben.

Ben is very much like the men we met before, but seems to be more in touch with his feelings and not scared of love.

I love the dogs in this series and want to see more of them and will keep my eyes out for the next book.

Rockin' It Home (Lawson Family #3)Rockin’ It Home by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rockin’ It Home is the third book in the Lawson Family series by Tracey Cramer-Kelly and I loved this book

Ben is trying to get his life together after hitting rock bottom. He doesn’t need much to he happy, put him on stage in front of a crowd is the easiest way. But the demands of being a recovering alcoholic while on the road touring are more than one person can and should handle. This is where Danielle comes in.

I enjoyed almost everything about Ben and Danielle’s story, especially how Rick Springfield is connected. This old lady has some fond memories of Mr. Springfield from my childhood and I did find myself getting a bit giddy thinking about him.

Ben has been through so much through this series and I’m so glad he finally removed his head and allowed himself to be happy since it’s much deserved.

Can’t wait for the next book in this series so I can find out what’s going on with the family.

King & Hunt: A Lust / Hate Story by Brienne Dubh

This was a true lust/ hate story, the chemistry between Chriatian and Gabby was crazy from the moment we met them. They hated each other with a strong passion and only played nice as a favor to his sister Amy who also happens to be her best friend. Neither of them realized this was the beginning of a new phase.

I couldn’t believe how quick of a read this book was. I think there could have been a little more to their story, not sure if I would have liked to see it more in the middle of the end.

I plan to keep an eye out for additional books by this author since she is new to me and liked this story.

FLOWERS IN DECEMBER TRILOGY: Flowers in December, Coming Home, Second Chance by Jane Suen

Each of these stories got to my feels in a way that I had to process my thoughts and feelings before I could move forward.

Conner deals with a lot of different emotions in each of the books. The first is guilt after losing his Mother. Then of course he goes through all of the phases of grief which is a roller coaster of emotions l. You hit the peaks and valleys of the different feelings sometimes simultaneously, especially when dealing with the loss of a parent or strong a parental figure.

I have lost my Daddy and a close Mother type figure in my life and could relate all too well to his emotions and how there were some days he just made it through on auto pilot.

I enjoyed all of the books but think the last was my favorite. Conner finds happiness in his day to day life which isn’t easy without the additional challenges he faced.

REWIND BOXED SET (BOOK 1-4) by Rowan Shaw. In this set you get the first four books of this amazing series and I couldn’t get enough of the couples and their stories.

I’m not sure which one of the stories I loved more. Each story was different, in the way the couples meet and the problems they have trying to find their happiness but the one thing they have in common was they all fell deeply in love and were able to have a happy life.

I love how the author spotlights the love each one of the characters has for their partner and how even when they are shunned by family they learn what an amazing and supportive group of friends they have.

Each one of the characters will end up leave a piece of themselves with you. Thankfully you will see them recurring throughout the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy is the sixth book in the Carolina Connections by Sylvie Stewart.

It felt so good to catch up with the gang and see how everyone is doing and to meet new people. I love Lola! She was t at all what she seems at the beginning. Her personality comes out the better we get to know her and she’s a spunky one!

Jax needed to have his butt handed to him and thankfully it happened. I don’t understand why some guys are so dumb but they are and our job as women to educate them no matter the age of the female.

Ari is what I want my younger daughter to be like. Strong and independent, cautious with love but not so cautious she misses out on it. I love her Family and hope we see more if them in the future. (HINT, HINT!)

Loved this book and this series. Hope they don’t go anywhere anytime soon.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Covert Threat by Amy McKinley is the fifth book in the Gray Ghost series.

This was the perfect book for me. It kept me guessing and revising what I thought was going to happen next and who was responsible for all of the weird stuff happening to Jules. I had a partially correct guess about a third of the way through but I whiffed on a few important details and I was totally okay with that.

I wish I could find someone like Trev to save me the way he saves Jules. Holy cow! But seriously, he is hot, a good guy and willing to anything to protect Jules.

If your looking for a book that will keep you guessing during the twists then I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Taming Zane by Lisa Lanay is the second book in the Almost Perfect Series.

The moment I saw that Shannon was a Chicgo native I wondered if she was a Cubs fan (Go Cubs Go!) or a Sox fan. That question was answered when I least expected it.

We see Zane in different aspects of his life. A fun loving incle who loves his nieces and nephews, a single man enjoying life and as a romantic which I wasn’t expecting at all, but I totally swooned when I read that chapter.

This second book in the series had none of the let down you might see from a newer author. Looking forward to keeping up with her and see how her writing evolves as she gains experience.

REBOUND is the fourth book in the Rewind series by Rowan Shaw.

Noah’s life is turned upside down when his long time boyfriend Hugo ends their ten year relationship. Thankfully Noah has his friendship with Adrien and with the help of his friend he starts putting his life back together.

I love who Noah ended up with and think they make a perfect couple and I don’t know where to start with my joy over this new couple.

I found myself getting very emotional during the book and think its because I get so attached to the characters I love and this is a group I’m totally in love with and I think of the reason is because they aren’t what society would consider normal, but the depth of love they each have for their partner is beautiful. If only all couples were so loving to one another.

I’m hoping this is a series that doesn’t end any time soon.

Landing the Lawman (Hills of Texas, #5)Landing the Lawman by Kadie Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Landing the Lawman is the fifth and pretty sure the final book in The Hills of Texas series by Kadie Scott.

Carter finally got her story and I love it. I don’t know if Logan is the type I would have put her with but it so worked. They started as coworkers, then worked their way up to friends and after several years they stop fighting the tension.

Logan is more than you expect and see at the beginning. A lot of what he does and decisions he makes all come from trying to escape a painful past.

I’m not sure which I loved more, the Hill family or the fact the live here in Texas and even have some time in Austin which is a city near and dear to my heart even with all of the construction we have.

Hope the Hills make an appearance in the future, but even if they don’t I know their stories ended perfectly.

Chris brings out the best of and the real Fiona and because of him she discovers who she really is and her purpose in life.

I love this book and series and I’m really hoping to see a fourth book and I know who I want the story to be about.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beloved by Pamela DuMond is the third book in the 21st Century Courtesan series.

This is my favorite book of the series so far and I’m dying to see what happens to Evie in the next book. As I was finishing this up Moulin Rouge was on and of course I felt it was fate and had to have it on in the background.

So much happens to Evie in this book and I have no idea where to start. There’s Dylan, Wyatt and Easton all vying to be a part of Evie’s life in some capacity. Her sister Ruby, who I really want to smack for being selfish and throwing everything to Evie. Evie’s mom who is doing better but still has her issues and then there’s the stalker who we learns lot more about.

I have questions about a few things but I have a feeling they will be answered in the next book which needs to hurry up.

Ink’s Devil by Manda Mellet is the fifth book in the Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter series.

Holy smokes this book though it seemed longer than others in the series was good. Not sure how the boys in the Devil’s keep getting themselves into suck interesting situations but they do and this one was a big one.

Ink is a happy confirmed batchelor with no plans to change that. Then he meets Beth…..

Beth sees how happy her best friend Mel is with her biker and decides on their wedding night to give it a try.

There was no dull moments in this book and there was some seriously messed up things but I loved it.

I was lucky enough to get into the Colorado chapter from the beginning but I started in Tuscon and love each and everyone of these guys and watching them fall. Can’t wait to see who’s next. I think it will be Liz or Mace, leaning towards Mace and I can’t wait to watch him fall.

As much as I liked the humans in this story I really had a special place in my heart for the cats. Oh and Mrs. Steele even though she wasn’t a huge part of the story line.

If your looking for a sweet story then I suggest you read this entire series.

The Fat Girl’s Guide to Loving Your Body by K.L Montgomery is a book that makes you think. A LOT! For that reason I wanted to hate it, I was able to relate to so much of what she was saying.

I found myself relating to things I had never consciously thought and certainly never verbal said out loud until last night when I mentioned to my husband that I had been reading this book and how much work I have to do. This is one book I plan on reading more than once.

I’m a large woman, have been overweight since puberty hit and my younger daughter is following down the same path. I know I have asked her if she really wanted the food she was about to eat and talked to her about making better decisions. That ends today.

I highly recommend this book and suggest you read it no matter your size or your relationship with food.

Renegade by Raven White is the first book in The Mercenaries Series.

When I was a young hormonal teenager I wished I had an older brother because then he would have friends and at least one of them was bound to be hot and Eliza was lucky enough to have that older brother with the hot friend who also is former military and extremely alpha.

Renegade knows what he has to do and that’s protect Eliza but the pull they have towards one another cannot be denied.

This story has a little bit of everything and I couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Katarina has grown so much since the first book and I have loved reading it and almost found myself beaming like a proud Mama.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1 by Manda Mellet was a book I couldn’t put down. I was stuck at home sick while the husband was out of town and I normally have a problem focusing on reading when I’m home alone, but not this time. Not sure if it’s due to knowing the characters and a lot of them I have known most of if not all of their lives or because the story grabbed me from the beginning. I’m leaning towards a bit of both.

Holy cow, Amy is all grown up now and has a life of her own outside of Tuscon. Overall life has been good for her until just recently. Her story broke my heart and brought out the protective Mama in me, luckily she has great support from her friends and family even if she hasn’t been exactly forthcoming with everything.

The more books I read about the Satan’s Devil’s the more in love with everyone I fall. So looking forward to this next generation and their stories.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hidden Obsession by India Kells and Maddie Wade is the second book in the Alliance Agency series.

Cleo and Mason had serious sparks flying between them in the first book and thankfully they caved. I love Cleo and her free spirit. She is so comfortable with who she is and that is a quality a lot of women don’t have in books or real life. She quickly endeared herself to me and I think she might forever be my favorite, but we’ll see.

Mason is the opposite of Cleo. He’s a stuffy Brit at least at first glance, but we learn a lot about him outside of the office and I liked it.

I loved how the stalker portion of the story kept me guessing until they were finally revealed and wow what a revelation it was.

I’m really loving the series and can’t wait for the next one!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Found in the Lost (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) (The Leonidas Corporation Book 1) by Tarina Deaton is a great start to a new series.

Kinley is so excited about what she’s discovered and it comes through in the way she was written. Shane is a big alpha male trying to find his way in the civilian world.

I loved Kinley, she was smart and not afraid to show it. Unfortunately those smarts put a target on her back and people want the information she has. Thankfully she literally runs into Shane who takes it upon himself to take care of her, though he doesn’t understand why.

There was suspense, mystery and some pretty steamy moments. This was a bit different from the other books I have read by Ms. Deaton with there was a little more danger involved and I loved it. Looking forward to keeping up with this series.
