My Free Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot (My Life Series Book 3)My Free Life: Prequel to The Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Free Life by Necie Navone is the third book in the My Life series. I loved this spin off series and learning about Alessandra and her life before. Of the three this was my favorite because to me it was the happiest of them.

Alessandra is hard and no fear, she showed it time and time again through this book and the series even when she was little.

She was pampered but her life was certainly not easy and that was show on to us time and time again. What she did have that a lot of people don’t usually have is the fierce love and loyalty of those around her. Her Uncle Lou and Nonna have been there from the very beginning and later she had Luigi, Pietro, Stephen, Antonio and many others.

I don’t want to wait to read her and Grayson’s story but unfortunately have to be patient and wait for it to come out. Have I mentioned how much I love this series?

Degrees of Control (Prestian Series, #3)Degrees of Control by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Degrees of Control by Via Mari is the third book in the Prestian series. This story is amazing, so glad I have been keeping up with it and can’t wait to see what happens next with Katarina and Chase.

These two definitely haven’t had the easiest time together. Lots of interesting things happen to them again in this book. Feels like these two will never catch a break and just get to be a normal couple.

The one thing that is different is Katarina decides she isn’t going to sit there passively and watch everything happen. She helps out in a big way.

I love Katarina and Chase together and can’t wait to see what adventures they go through next, I seriously doubt whatever happens next will go without something happening to one of them.

Embattled Hearts (Military Romantic Suspense) (Lost and Found Book 1) by J.M. Madden – Review by Robin Rankin

Embattled Hearts (Lost and Found, #1)Embattled Hearts by J.M. Madden

Embattled Hearts by J.M. Madden is the first book in the Lost and Found series. This is another book I have had in my kindle for far too long and just how read. I wish I had not taken so long to read it. I have a huge soft spot for Veterans and wish there was more done for them. But an injured Veteran has my heart completely and totally.

John had a major injury while serving overseas and still resents the limitations the injury has placed on him not only in his daily life but also professional. He is just a grumpy angry Marine, but when he’s around Shannon some of that seems to fade.

Shannon loves working with the agency and the guys. Being the only female in the office doesn’t bother her a bit. She has a ghost from the past come back or at least she thinks it’s that ghost. Thankfully John is able to step in and help her.

There is suspense, romance and some hot moments in this book. I think the biggest thing it shows is love is blind. If you truly love that person you don’t notice the things that they consider imperfections. Already read the synopsis of the next book and looking forward to getting to it soon.

A Must For Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella by Deborah Garland – Review by Robin Rankin

A Must for Christmas: A Darling Cove NovellaA Must for Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Must For Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella by Deborah Garland is an absolute must read if you have been following this series.

There is a huge baby boom in Darling Cove and the Mallory’s are completely responsible for it. Gwen and and Andrew have already had their daughter. Greg and Faith are expecting their twin boys and Skye and Edward have Julian. What happy time for the family oh and its Christmas.

I remember the fear I felt before having my first child and don’t know if I could have dealt with that fear knowing there were two little ones coming very soon. Trying to make the best decisions for them as a mother and for myself as an individual would have been overwhelming but I would have made sure to discuss it with my husband which is not something Faith did with Greg and it drove me nuts.

But other than that I loved this book, it was so sweet and I could feel my arms itching to hold a little one.

I really hope we have not seen the last of the Mallorys.

Calling the Curveball: A Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly – Review by Robin Rankin

Calling the CurveballCalling the Curveball by Tracey Cramer-Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Calling the Curveball a Lawson Family Novel by Tracey Cramer-Kelly appears to he the first and I hope not the only look about this great family.

Jamie Lawson had dreams of being a baseball player, but that dream never came true. His life changed in several ways that day and he has lived in his own world until he meets Kira.

Kira Walker is two years removed from a divorce that shattered her emotional. Her Ex is a jerk, and to me made it seem like everything that went wrong was her fault. She isn’t ready to move forward until she sees the hot umpire at the baseball game.

This story is about so much more than second chances, it ended up being a lot deeper than I expected it to he but I don’t know if it would have worked any other way. I really like Jamie and Kira, but Ian and Ben both have my mind racing. I have to know what happened to them and where they end up.

Degrees of Acceptance (Prestian Series, #2)Degrees of Acceptance by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Degrees of Acceptance by Via Mari is the second book in the Prestian series. This is one of those series you really need to read, especially if you don’t like those romance stories that are smooth and easy. There is absolutely nothing smooth and easy about the relationship between Katarina and Chase which is how it was on the first book.

The level of protectiveness Chase feels for Kate is sweet, justified and suffocating all at once and we see all sides of it in this installment of their story. We also see that the protection isn’t just for Kate but also for friends and loved ones too.

There are many layers to Chase and I don’t think what we have seen has scratched the surface. I have a strong feeling that there will more layers peaked back in the next book.

I didn’t want to like Chase and because of him this series but he managed to work his way in and I’ve fallen in love with the series. Cannot wait to see what happens.

Mad About Matt (Red Maple Falls #1)Mad About Matt by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mad about Matt is the first book in the Red Maple Falls series by Theresa Paolo. It’s been sitting on my Kindle for a bit and I finally got the chance to read it. I’m so glad I did and wish I had gotten to it sooner.

Matt had his heart broken when he was a teenager by Shay. He isn’t that boy anymore but he hasn’t ever recovered from her.

Shay loved spending her summers with her grandparents as a kid. It was then she met and fell in love with Matt. But love is never easy when you’re young.

Thankfully there is always an opportunity to rekindle that love no matter how much neither one of them wants do it or fight it.

I fell in love with this group of siblings and I’m looking forward to reading their stories and how they fall in love with their special someones.

Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9)Say When by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When by Bree Kraemer is the ninth book in the Cedarville series. I can’t believe there have already been nine books in this series and I have loved each and every one of them and hope there are more to come.

Dani a sweet shy baker with problems speaking with men. She is desperate to come out of her shell and discover the person she is under that fear.

Patrick is the other chef at Dockside and cannot stop eating the cupcakes that are delivered daily. He’s surprised to find out he has known the baker since she was a kid.

This was a very sweet story without a lot of drama which was not needed to make their story wonderful. I hope to see this group of friends again in the future since I’m not ready to let them go.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My Tragic Life by Necie Navone is the second book in the My Life series and tragic is the best way to describe Alessandra’s life.

Alessandra is still the Princess of the family but is growing up quickly and learning more about the family business when what she really wants is to get out and have an opportunity to live her life her way and not having to answer to anyone.

The next book is the end of this series and I can’t wait to see what happens to not just Alessandra, but Analisa, Nonna and especially her Uncle Lou and Luigi.

Must Be CrazyMust Be Crazy by Deborah Garland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Must Be Crazy by Deborah Garland is the third book in the Darling Cove series and I think it is my favorite as of this moment. I laughed, cried and hurt for Skye.

Skye dealt with so much in this book and a long hidden secret comes to light. The love she gives her family and they showed her is how its supposed to be, especially in the dark times.

Edward is a great man. He does so much for the community all while raising his son, Julian alone. I loved getting to know him and his story. Julian stole my heart in so many ways. As a Mom I just wanted to make things better for him and cuddle with him.

This is a series I almost didnt start, I’m so glad I didn’t make that mistake.

Imperfect Heart (Combat Hearts Book 4)Imperfect Heart by Tarina Deaton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imperfect Heart is the fourth book in the Combat Hearts series by Tarina Deaton and it was just as amazing as the first three in the series.

Zoe has moved to Haven Springs after being discharged from the service. She is excited to start her new life as a civilian, a small business owner and a single woman and to be back in the same town as her best friend as well as close to her siblings. But life has a funny way of leading you down a path you never expected.

Tim a police officer in Haven Springs is just a good person. He was burned by an ex wife and decided he would just protect and serve.

There were a few parts where I laughed out loud and startled my dogs. The beginning with the raccoon was probably my favorite moment.

I am totally in love with this series and already looking forward to the next book.

Acevedo is finally doing something for herself. Opening an independent bookstore in Haven Springs, North Carolina is a major undertaking, but Zoe has a plan and a list. What she doesn’t have is time for distractions like her interfering family, her cheating ex, or the sexy neighbor who always manages to find her in the most awkward situations.

As a Haven Springs police officer, Tim Larken has dedicated his life to protecting and serving. He learned the hard way that the damsel in distress doesn’t always want to be saved, but somehow he manages to help his curvy new neighbor out of one tight spot after another.

Their attraction is undeniable, but when true disaster strikes will that be enough for two Imperfect Hearts to heal together?

Imperfect Heart is the final book in the Combat Hearts series. It can be read as a stand-alone. Guaranteed HEA and no cliffhangers

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan was amazing and I couldn’t put it down. I don’t know what it is about Ms. Sullivan’s books, but I have yet to make it through one without shedding some tears. In this one there were both tears of sadness and happiness.

Quinn and Noah have an an incredible story. Love at first sight and then overcoming of the obstacles that they face. Not many people would handle everything as well as they did period but to be as young as they are and still come through together and stronger was nice.

Obviously this isn’t the first book I have read by her but i have loved each of them for different reasons. I look forward to reading many more books by this talented author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Elegantly Denim: An Elegant Prelude by Tee Smith is the prequel to the Elegant series. I have had this book in my Kindle for a while now and just got the opportunity to read it and I’m so glad I did. I was a little turned off at first by Denim, but it didn’t take long to find the good in him and start to like him a lot.

Though he is in the family business, I really feel he is better than that, think he has just started to show it. I’m hoping to see him pull away from the family business and find his happiness.

Hope there is more of Wombat in the next book too, there was just something about him that stuck out to me.

Love, Christmas - Movies You Love (The Holiday Series Book 2)Love, Christmas – Movies You Love by Mimi Barbour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love, Christmas – Movies You Love (The Holiday Series Book 2 is an amazing collection of short stories by various authors including Tamara Ferguson, Suzanne Jenkins and Natalie Ann. I enjoyed each of the the stories I read but decided to spotlight a few by authors that are new to me.

A Royal White Christmas by Leanne Banks

Holly’s life is already in chaos, she is helping run her brothers farm. She meets the handsome stranger thanks to Brandi the Beagle.

I’m a sucker for any story that features a dog, but I’m partial to dogs that remind me of dogs I know and Brandi reminded me of my sister in laws dog Westley. Always getting into some and escaping. Very sweet ending.

Miracle on Christmas Tree Street by Alicia Street

Hannah and her daughter Abbie are starting a new life by running her Aunt’s Bed and Breakfast. After she gets there she finds all sorts of unusual little things happening all of which lead to a Christmas miracle and a happy ending.

The Holiday (Christmas) by Nancy Radke

Jodie is spending the holidays in one of the most beautiful places I have had the pleasure of going to, Hawaii. She is trying to escape a lot but has no clue what she’s going to find when she gets there.

This was another great story with a happy ending.

If you’re looking for great short stories to start getting you into the Christmas spirit then I would suggest you start reading now.

Sailors Knot (Eastern Shore Swingers Book 4)Sailors Knot by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sailors Knot is the fourth book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series by Phoebe Alexander and so far my favorite. I loved learning about Casey’s life long before the club came about.

Casey is one of those characters that I would like to be like is a lot of ways. She’s beyond confident and comfortable with who she is as a whole. If I had an eighth of her confidence I would be a happy woman.

The flash backs to the time when Casey was her happiest were some of the hottest scenes I can recall reading ever. I also loved reading about Leah and Paisley and getting caught up with them.

Ms. Alexander is on to something with this series and hope she doesn’t plan on ending it any time soon.

My Hidden Life: Brothers of Camelot Prequel is the first book in the My Life Series by Necie Navone. All I can say is wow, what a story.

Alessandra doesn’t have the wonderful privileged life you would think as a Princess. But she is the Princess of a crime family and her Father who is also the head of the family can be a bit stubborn and unwilling to listen to anyone once his mind is set.

  • We get a brief glimpse of Alessandra in the first book of the Brothers of Camelot series. This was a great way to start this spinoff series and I cannot wait to find out what happens next and if she finds her way back to her heart.View all my reviews

Beckoned, Part 5: Adrift in Costa Rica is the latest installment by Aviva Vaughn. I am so totally hooked on this series. Part of my is glad it isn’t over yet but at the same time I’m dying to know how things turn out for Soren.

Soren finally starts to figure out who he is as an individual and not the oldest son and heir in the Lund family. It takes getting his heart ripped out and then taking a trip on a whim but he is getting there.

Elena is just amazing in my eyes. She does so much for those she loves and is willing to sacrifice her happiness.

So now I have to wait patiently for the next book in this series. I’m anything but patient so this wait is going to be hard. So looking forward to what happens next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher was a great whirlwind romantic love story. I loved the way Lauren and David met and how they just connected.

With as connected as they were they still had their issues in the relationship, self esteem or lack of can cause so many problems. I could imagine the level of insecurity Lauren was feeling while with David.

David with his sexy British accent to go with his incredibly sexy face and body. Whew, I do wonder if the image I got matches up with what anyone else came up with.

I have read a few other books by Ms. Fletcher and she has impressed me with her stories and writing. She is quickly becoming an author I keep an eye on to see if there is anything new.

Credence WoodsCredence Woods by Alexandria Sure
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Credence Woods by Alexandria Sure had me from the very beginning. There was something about Kennedy that I connected with. But she is so much braver than I am. If I were ever able to get the weight off and down to my perfect weight I don’t think I could do what she did.

There was a surprise for me while reading it but as soon as I discovered it a lot fell into place with me. I don’t know if it was intended by the author or not but just in case it was, you will just need to read the book for yourself.

There were a few things this book was about, but I feel it was about Kennedy growing comfortable with who she is now, forgetting who she use to be and allowing herself to fall in love.

I think if I had a problem with anything it was that I felt it was maybe a little rushed at the end but other that I wouldn’t change a thing.

Siren Call by Phoebe Alexander is the third book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. Again I’m blown away by Ms. Alexander’s writing. I’m experiencing a lot firsts with this series. This was my first F/F book, and she did it so well with such detail.

Jessie is a police officer in Ocean City who also a member at The Factory which is the local swingers club. She plays but with women only. She is fascinated by the mysterious blonde and wants to know everything about her.

Sirena has a lot of secrets and will do whatever it takes to keep them hidden. She loves to play, doesn’t matter who it is.

Both of these women have amazing stories and overcome quite a bit. The strength they have and don’t realize just blows me away.

I managed to read the first three books of this series in just four days and now I have to wait until the next book is released and I’m trying to be patient but it’s killing me.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Catch by Phoebe Alexander is the second book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. I went on a huge binge reading this series and it’s amazing.

The story between Paisley and Calvin started off slow with lots of flirting between the two of them. But when they finally got together I wanted to cheer. They were just so good together and I wanted to see the happy.

Paisley was old enough to know that you have to communicate with people but she just wouldn’t do it. I wanted to shake her to try and get her to wake up. Her back story is shocking and sad but she managed to make something of herself in spite of it all.

Calvin is a good guy who was brought up by amazing parents. He was very open and honest with Paisley about who he was but he couldn’t get her to open up.

This was another hot and steamy read by Ms. Alexander. I cannot recommend this book and series enough.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fisher of Men by Phoebe Alexander is the first book in the Eastern Shore Swingers series. I have had this book in my TBR list and on my Kindle for quite a while. Finally got a chance to sit down to read it. My old regret is I hadn’t read it sooner.

The story between Leah and Cap was a lot hotter and more detailed than I was expecting and I don’t think I would have enjoyed the book as much if she had written any other way.

Leah has quite a good head on her shoulders for someone as young as she is. Definitely an older soul in a young body. And Cap sounds like a silver fox. He’s older and wiser than Leah, especially with his experience in the Swinging world.

I have read a lot of different sub groups in the Romance world, but I do believe this was my first foray into the swinging world. This book is not for one who gets uncomfortable during intimate or explicit scenes but I felt that the book was so well written that you can look past it.

Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Books 1-3)Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Romance in Rehoboth boxed set has the first three books in the series. I love this series for so many different reasons, but I think the biggest is the way I was able to connect and understand how the women felt, especially Lindy in the third book. There is so much positive body image and girl power for a lack of a better way to describe it. I felt better about myself and a bit empowered after reading.

The first book in the series is Fat Girl. This is the story that starts it all. Claire and Jack’s story was very realistic and refreshing. Claire starting over after a divorce and learning how to navigate the dating world which is incredibly different from the last time she dated.

The second book is The Flip and this is where we get to know Sonnet and Andrew. Sonnet is very brainy beautiful woman who gets reunited with her high school nemesis Andrew. They are forced to work together without killing one another.

The third and final book in this box set is Plot Twist. We meet Lindy and Meric while they are in a local theater production. Lindy is very self conscious and tries to hide in the background. She was the one I could relate with the most and think had the strongest feelings towards her. She was amazing! Meric is a great guy and exactly what Lindy needed.

I cannot recommend this set enough. Ms. Montgomery is on to something here and I am so glad I found her early on.

Brett Brock is the backup quarterback who tends to stay in the background in the locker room. But he gets thrust into the limelight in one of the most embarrassing ways.

Their story is funny, hot, painful and entertaining. I loved every minute I spent reading this book and look forward the rest of this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Only One is the first book in the Brothers of Camelot by Necie Navone. It appears this is also the first book released. I’m so glad I was able to discover her early. If this first book is any indication I see her quickly becoming quite popular.

Drake Gregory-Fitzpatrick is the hit it and quit it kind of guy. He refuses to open his heart since it still belongs to his first love. He has his childhood band of brothers to spend time with and keep an eye out for one another. This group of twelve guys is an amazingly tight group of and have been for over twenty years.

Bella met Fitz when she was all of four years old. After time away from one another their paths cross only to discover how bumpy that path is.

I loved each one of the guys for different reasons. I think Hawkins is my favorite so far and I can’t wait to read his story but I’m just as excited about the other ten stories.

Joker's Fool (Satan's Devils MC #8)Joker’s Fool by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Joker’s Fool is the eighth book in the Satan’s Devils MC series by Manda Mellett. This is a m/m romance and was well written with what I can only assume are true issues when coming out. How I missed the first seven I don’t know but if I had to pick one to be introduced to this Motorcycle Club this was a great one. It can be read as a standalone thankfully but I’m interested in the stories of the others is this club.

Joker had a horrible and tragic childhood and carried the scars into adulthood. Those scars built a strong wall between Joker and everyone else until he gets to know Lady and very slowly he starts to allow Lady in.

I can’t imagine the struggle of not only realizing you are guy but accepting that you’re “different” and that some people may not like or accept you for that one reason.

I truly loved this book and I hope to get caught up on the series at point and look for new books in the future

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Self Love: A British Tale of Woe and Wit by TL Clark was not what I was expecting if you know what I mean and I’m actually glad it wasn’t.

Molly was a funny and wonderful woman who needed to learn her self worth. I could so relate to her and her issues with body image and not feeling like she was enough. Her experiences were interesting and some were amusing while there were a few that broke my heart.

Though I like the way it ended I could have seen this going in a much different direction for Molly.

I have not had the pleasure of reading anything by Ms. Clark before but this was a great introduction.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Give and Take by Lee Kilraine is the second book in the Thorne Brothers series and I love it. Rhia made me laugh and feel bad for her at the same time but there was just something about her that made me fall in love with her.

Wyatt is the quiet, brooding smart guy. He enjoys quiet and order and that is the last thing he gets once he meets Rhia.

I understood Rhia’s feeling of not fitting in with her family, like a black sheep though it’s not her fault. I wanted to scream and shake them all to try and get them to see what an amazing woman she is

I have not read anything by this author before which I regret. I will be keeping up with this series and other book by Lee Kilraine.

Neverland by Melissa Jane is one of those books that you just sit there after finishing it you just sit there and say oh wow or something else more explicit.

This book was incredibly tragic, but always had a silver lining hidden in the back or at least it seemed that way to me.

There were so many things I loved about this book but they are so integral to the story and could give things away I can’t and won’t explain so I don’t risk giving anything away.

There aren’t too many books that have effected me the way this one has or I would say are a must read but this is one you must read.

The Boss Man: A Steamy Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel (The Manly Series Book 4)The Boss Man: A Steamy Contemporary Romantic Suspense Novel by Teddy Hester
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Boss Man by Teddy Hester is the fourth book in the Manly Series. Though part of a series it can be read as a standalone which was a good thing for me since I had not heard of this series until this book. I do however intend to go back to meet the other DePaul boys.

Jack is the baby of the family and seems to have the most to prove. Not sure if that is a youngest child trait or not since I’m the oldest. It was apparent from the get go that he needed to show the world, especially his family he can do this.

Jillian had my sympathy, the only girl being raised by her dad and two older brothers couldn’t have been easy for her, but she fights to become an independent strong woman who knows what she wants.

I loved their story. I do wish more loose ends were tied up for me. I’m just nosy like that.

Definitely give this book a try.
