Surviving the Storm (Surviving Series Book 2)Surviving the Storm by Virginia Wine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surviving the Storm by Virginia Wine is the second book in the Surviving Series and I think it may be my favorite so far. Alex was very appealing in the first book. In this book it his appeal is multiplied a hundred times.

Alex has a giant chip on his shoulder and we learn why it’s there. Horrible childhood memories have a horrible way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. I love Alex’s relationship with his brother Ben. Ms. Wine captured the brother relationship so well.

Madison is an amazing woman and I’m so glad Theo found her and brought her into his life. She really impressed me and wish more young woman were like her. She seems to love with her whole heart and will do anything for those she loves.

This is a great series so far and looking forward to the next book.

The Way You Are (The Carolina Connections, #5)The Way You Are by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Way You Are by Sylvie Stewart is the fifth book in the Carolina Connections series. I loved this book for so many different reasons. First I loved Tambo, Liv’s dog. He made me smile every time.

Second I loved Brett, he wasn’t the stereotypical leading male character. He wasn’t a giant who’s muscles had muscles. What he was is a caring man who knows how to treat a woman. Any Mom would be proud to have him date their daughter.

Liv was funny and a proud baseball fan (Go Cubs!) who doesn’t allow anyone to intimidate her, well almost anyone.

It was great catching up with everyone and seeing where they are now in their relationships. I hope the next book comes out soon.

Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) (The Hawke Family Book 4)Building Storm: (A Hawke Family Novel) by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Building Storm by Gwyn McNamee is the fourth book in the Hawke Family series. If you haven’t read any of this amazing series you need to stop here and go get the first book and get hooked.

Storm reminded me of a phoenix rising from the ashes from the moment I started reading this book. Storm is having to learn how to live a new normal but thankfully she’s not alone. Her family is amazing through it all. I think I was crying or fighting tears through most of this book, made me think of a friend who is two months into this exact same journey.

There are so many raw emotional moments from the beginning to the end. I have loved this series from word one but there was something about this book that grabbed me.

I’m not ready to say bye to the Hawke’s and their life in New Orleans and will be waiting patiently for the next book to come out even if I have to wait a very long time which I hope I don’t.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heart of a Hunk: A Limited-Edition Collection of Bad Boy, Billionaire and Hunky Romance Heros is a collection of short stories by various authors.

Foxxy Christmas by Allyson R. Abbott wasn’t the typical romance/love at first sight story. Foxxy sees her hero one night while working. They meet face to face and he changes her life in the best possible way. This story wasn’t what I’ve come to expect from Ms. Abbott but I enjoyed it.

A Kiss Under A Blue Christmas Moon by Tamara Ferguson was a sweet story about second chances, not just for Mia and Noah though. I have read several books in this series, there are brief appearances from characters we know as well as some new ones.

Great Anthology and would recommend it.

A Terrible Beauty (Fallen Eagles MC Book 1)A Terrible Beauty by T. Birmingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Terrible Beauty by T. Birmingham is the first book in the Fallen Eagles MC series. I was intrigued by this book after reading the synopsis. You don’t see a lot of MC’s with women as members but the Fallen Eagles has female members and not just to sit and look pretty which I really liked. I also liked that they are Veterans or at least the characters we have got to know in this book.

Kit isn’t the girl she used to be before her deployment. She saw some horrific things and experienced some major trauma but the only thing that has helped her keep it together is the Fallen Eagles and Lee, her childhood sweetheart.

The flashbacks were tough for me to read. It broke my heart to think that we had Soldiers who had similar experiences. I enjoyed this book and looking forward to the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Mother In Law by Judy Moore was so much more than the synopsis indicated. I believe there were a few times when I actually gasped while reading it, especially at the end. What an ending it was too. I’m not sure what I was expecting before I read this book but it was beyond anything I could have expected or imagined.

There are so many things I could say about the characters and the story itself but I don’t know if I would be able to do it justice with my description and I’m afraid of spoiling something. This is a love story with many layers of others things.

This book is a must read if you like love with some mystery and a lot of oh my goodness.

Surviving Eden by Virginia Wine is the first book in the Surviving series. I had some expectations going in after reading the synopsis and it far exceeded them.

Dr. Theo Grant has dealt with his fair share of pain. He losses his parents and younger sister at a young age. Then loses his best friend. He didnt know when he walked in the door for the funeral his world gets rocked.

Eden Barnett is just starting her life, getting ready to graduate college. But she meets the Dr. and she has no doubts about him.

  • There was a lot of stuff happening in this book and it all just worked well and I’m looking forward to the next book and hopefully get an update on these two.View all my reviews

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Untrainable by Jamie Schlosser had me hooked from the moment I started reading it. There was something about Theo from the very beginning that made me fall for him, it may have been the fact he’s a Cubs fan. As I learned more about his life I felt like I needed mother him.

Hadley couldn’t have been a better fit for Theo for so many reasons. Her love of dogs or the underdog had me. She is a great person and it was obvious from the beginning.

My only complaint is the fact Ms. Schlosser called the Cubs home park Wrigley Park instead of Wrigley Field. I’m not sure how many readers would have caught that, but as a Cubs fan it bugged me. But other than me being me I loved it and I’m hoping to see another book featuring Theo, Hadley and Aiden.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Memory Of Us by Lisa Sorbe had my emotions all over the place. Elena having to go to her hometown after bring gone for twelve years to bury her Mother stirred something in me. It brought back a lot of the feelings I had when I went back to buy my Daddy. I too moved far from my hometown and tried not to look back.

Weston was Elena’s best friend practically from birth but when she left Minnesota he was left there to move forward. Imagine her surprise when she sees him almost as soon as she gets in.

I laughed, cried, shook my head and muttered to myself while reading this. There are several layers to this story which get peeled back one at a time. I have had the pleasure of reading all of Ms. Sorbe’s books and she has become one of the authors I will look for. Can’t wait to see what she gives me next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Crazy Yates by Kimberly Packard is a Christmas novella that broke my heart a little bit while reading. I felt so bad got Callie at first, when it rains it pours especially with the bad and that is the case for Callie and her family.

Helping raise her younger siblings and being the sole financial support has caused her to grow up way too soon. As the oldest she felt like it was duty, which I understand since I had to do the same thing.

One fateful trip to Amarillo changed so much for Callie and her family for the better.

This is definitely a feel good Christmas story. But I would love to see more of the Yates family.

The Only Series, 5 book boxed setThe Only Series, 5 book boxed set by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Only Series by Bree Kraemer is a set of five books and what a gre as r series this is. I have had the pleasure of reading other books by Ms. Kraemer in the past and she hasn’t disappointed me yet. There are several hot moments throughout the series that will leave you fanning yourself. We meet several great characters who all face different challenges while falling in love.

Only By His Touch was my favorite of the five though I loved each one of the stories so much this one got to me and I think that is because strength Samantha has and shows when life decided to knock her down then kick several times while she is down. She come out on the other side stronger than everyone realized, including herself.

Only With Trust is Michelle’s story. She has been burned many times in the past and has serious trust issues due to that. She is afraid to give her heart and rightfully so but in the end the heart wants what the heart wants no matter when the brain says.

If Only is Colin’s story and I think of the guys he ended up being my favorite with Steve a very close second. His family has a history with love that not a lot of people can say they have and it slams into him the moment he sees her. Why the brain seems to shut down once a guy falls in love I will have no idea.

Only You is about Sophie getting her happily ever after, after heartbreak and watching her friends find their someone special. Sophie broke my heart a little bit and I just wanted to hug her and make it better.

In Only For Love we finally get to find out about Gretchen and see the scars she carries from her childhood. Running will not fix anything and I wish I could have told her that.

Each one of these stories touched me in a different way and saw a little piece of myself in each one of the women. Great series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rising Star by Susannah Nix is the type romantic comedic story I have found myself enjoying lately. Griffin is what I think I would to think my favorite actors be like in real life when the cameras aren’t looking. The love he has for his dog just melted my heart and made me like him that much more.

Alice is amazing, she is working on her Doctorate and while working with another Professor has a horrible experience that unfortunately happens way too often in life. I know it isn’t the easiest of things to face but I wish she had done more.

The two of them together just work so well together and I enjoyed their story and look forward to reading other books by Ms. Nix, hopefully in the near future.

The Debt Collector: An Underground Bad Boys Romance by India Kells hooked me from the very beginning and didn’t let go.

Dr. Tessa Freeman was fully expecting it to be a normal night at the ER but she was so wrong. Just one small moment ripples into something so much bigger and you have no idea what that moment means until much later.

Locke is mysterious and brooding and has to have everything in its place. But I think there is something in him that’s a lot deeper that we only caught a glimpse of.

Have my fingers crossed that this is just the beginning of a series, I want to see more of Tessa and Locke but also want to know more about Gage and his story.

The Something Series - Box Set Books 1-3: (Tell Me Something, Ask Me Something & Bet Me Something)The Something Series – Box Set Books 1-3: by Aubrey Bondurant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Something Series by Aubrey Bondurant contains the first three books of this amazing series.

In Tell Me Something we are introduced to Haylee and Josh and the series. Haylee and Josh gave off the chart chemistry from the moment they meet and it only escalates. They have quiet a passionate relationship no matter the emotion they are feeling at the time. I absolutely loved this book and was unable to contain my excitement for the next book.

Ask Me Something is the story of Sasha and Brian. They both work for and are friends with Josh, Brian being his best friend. Sasha and Brain work in different locations but they haven’t allowed that to effect their friendship which continues to build and grow. They are amazing together and as always they don’t gave the easiest path but what a journey.

Bet Me Something is Kenzie and Colby’s story. They are the younger siblings of best friends. She’s Brian’s little sister and he’s Josh’s younger brother. They all grew up together but that didn’t stop Kenzie from developing a crush on Colby at a young age. He steps in to be her white knight when she needed him the most and it went from there. I loved this book and think it is my favorite of the series

If you enjoy romance and some amazingly intimate moments you have to give this a try, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

A Frothy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the fourth book in the Christmas Kiss series. It was a very cute story, my favorite character in this book was the cat. You’ll understand my love of this cat after you’ve read the book.

Kat stumbling on the coffe shop was fate stepping in. She has loved coffee since she was a little girl and this place is heaven on earth for her.

Dan is the owner of this quaint neighborhood coffee shop and is intrigued by Kat as she about him and coffee.

I’m not big on Christmas but did enjoy this book and series. Looking forward to read more by Ms. Abbott.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forgetting Ophelia by Julie C. Gardner is the third book in the Friendship and Secrets series. I have not had the pleasure of reading the first two yet but after reading this one they have both been added.

Ophelia, who goes by Lia, is so much stronger then she gives herself credit for. After a less than ideal childhood, she has had a pretty good life as an adult. That is until it comes crashing down one fateful night.

She has amazing friends and I loved her uncle. Her mother was similar to my own and for that reason I felt a kinship with her.

She does so much growing emotionally through out the book and I would love to see how it continues. I was a little disappointed in the ending at first, I felt like her story wasn’t finished. I then started thinking about it and what happens next and realized it could end the way I wanted it to.

A Pink Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the third book in this series. I fell in love with Shelby the cat from the moment we met her but I’m a sucker for pets and the ways they show their love.

Billie moves home after living in the City for the past five years and the moment she gets home thoughts of her ex-boyfriend Leroy pop into her mind and don’t leave, especially after she finds out about the deuce.

Leroy gave up so much for loved ones but it seems that sacrifice and patience pays off.

I really enjoyed this story and looking forward to reading the final book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reckless: A Steamy Contemporary Romance Anthology by Mika Jolie, Kylie Stewart, P.M. Carson and Sharla Lovelace was exactly as advertised. There were some pretty steamy moments along with moments that made you laugh, gasp and flip the page quickly to see what happens next.

Layla’s Chance by Mika Jolie is the first book in the anthology. Layla and Chance start off with major sparks between them and it doesn’t let up the entire time these together. I think most women in their thirties and forties have thought about the young hot musician, Layla actually gets him. I loved how her stories are all connected in some way and will be reading more from her.

Into The Deep by Kylie Stewart grabbed me from the very beginning of the story. I don’t know what is was about Gemma and Grayson’s story that grabbed me but it did. I think the moment on the table at his house had me fanning myself.

Dirty Martinis and the Spy Who Kissed me were also great books. I found myself getting mad at Rachel in Dirty Martinis and on the edge of my seat in Spy Who Kissed Me.

All of these stories are worth the read.

A Tangy Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the second book in the Christmas Kiss series. I was hoping for a connection between this book and the first but there isn’t so it can be read as a standalone.

Lucas is an absolute sweetheart and he falls for Mel immediately and offers to help her get to her Aunt’s place and so much more.

For a short story a lot of things happen, especially to poor Mel. This is a sweet love story and I’m looking forward to finishing up this series.

Degrees of Power by Via Mari is the fourth and final book in the Prestian series. When I first finished the book I wasn’t sure how I felt about the way she ended it, but after a little bit I have decided that I liked it. Part of the reason is Jenny had her own series and I fully expect Katarina and Chase to pop up.

Katarina and Chase have had quite the whirlwind romance with so many different things happening to them or the people they love, never a dull moment for them.

They have learned so much in the short time they have been together, the biggest lesson is trust and how important it is to a relationship.

I have some questions about some if the things that happened but like I said I’m hoping to see them in Jenny’s story and get those questions answered.

I’m going to honest, I’m not big on Christmas and the stories about it. I blame it on my childhood, but there was something about this book and series that drew me in. There are lots of Santa references throughout the story which are kind of corny but in that happy Christmasy way.

I liked Elf a lot, she was fiesty and not afraid to take of herself or be alone and I liked that a lit.

Rudi needed to meet a woman like Elf, he had been hurt in the past and let it effect him more than I think he realized.

Cute short story, totally worth the time spent reading it

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eastern Shore Swingers Books 1-3 is the first boxed set in the series by Phoebe Alexander.

The first book is Fisher of Men and of the three, I think this was my favorite but I’m not sure why since I loved all of them.

There was just something about Leah and Cap’s story that grabbed me. Not sure if it was the sweet girl from Nebraska meeting the older experienced man from the East Coast or just learning a little about the lifestyle which I really don’t know much about.

The Catch is the second book and in this one we meet Calvin and Paisley. What older woman hasn’t checked out a younger man and let her imagination wander?

Nothing in life is easy and poor Paisley sure didnt have the easiest of lives. She deserves happiness because shes earned it. And Calvin, oh yum. He is a good guy from a good family and knows what he wants.

The third and final book in this set is Siren Call. In this book we have Jessie and Sirena.

Jessie is a local police officer who spends time at the club, she sees Sirena and falls. But things aren’t always what they seem, especially with Sirena.

This story was fascinating to me, I haven’t read any F/F before or if I had it wasn’t very memorable. The way it was written really wasn’t any different from your standard M/F romance which I loved. Yes, when they were intimate it was a little different but overall it really just proved that love is love.

I have enjoyed everything I have read by Ms. Alexander and I hope that continues.

She meets new friends while there and it seems like everyone is somehow connected to one another. That becomes apparent when she runs into people she already knows.

Though there were some heavy moments this didnt seem to weigh on me quiet as much as the first. I feel like the ending could go either way, this could he the end or we could see more of Layla and her case of characters. I hope the latter.

Climbing The Walls (Hart & Cole Book 1)Climbing The Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Climbing the Walls by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné is the first book Hart & Cole Series. This book had a lot happen in it, and the author did not skimp on any of the details. It was a lot longer than I would have expected it to be since the time period in the story itself covered such a short time.

Where do I start? Kris is an amazing father, his daughter and son are his life, especially his little girl and it is obvious from the very beginning. He’s also a great husband, not perfect but a lot of women would love to have a partner who did even a quarter of what he does, this woman included. All of this after having a less than stable household as a kid.

The description of Nicole in the synopsis was dead on. I did not want to like her at all. But as we got deeper into the story and learned about her and her life, things clicked for me and I actually could relate to some of the things.

There are two paths you can take as a parent, be like your parents or not like your parents, sometimes you pick the path subconsciously.

The kids are amazing, and I think I fell a little in love with both of them. But as the mom of two daughters I think Nikita grabbed just a bit more of my heart.

Amazing read, but not one you can bang out in a few hours.

I have a friend at work that I will talk books with from time to time. She is quite picky over the years I have learned what she likes. I recommended this book to her before I was half way through it and I can’t wait to see what she thinks of it.

There are things I want to mention but they could be considered spoilers so I won’t mention them. I will say that I cannot wait to get started on the next book.

Ms. Billiter’s stories have more than just the romance aspect, there always a much deeper story involved and I really do enjoy that. Hope to see more books in this series!

Felicity Found by Lara Ward Cosio is the sixth book in the Rogue series. I can’t believe we are already at book six in this series. I still remember deciding to read the first while on vacation and falling in love with the band. Now here we are, a few years later. There have been marriages, a divorce, babies and sorts of interesting moments. All of which have made me fall on love with them all just a little more.

Felicity and Conor are now the parents of not one but two infants and how Felicity has been able to keep it together this long amazed me. Thankfully she has the love and support of an amazing husband to find her someone to talk to. I only had one baby and how stressed I was with caring for her.

I know all good things must come to an end, but I’m not ready to let go of this group and it appears they aren’t done either.
