Snatching Dianna by Seelie Kay is the first book in the Feisty Lawyers series. This is the first book I have had the pleasure reading by Ms. Kay so I wasn’t sure what to expect with her style and how she builds her characters and was anxious to see what I would be getting with this story. Let me tell you what I got.
I got a story about love, romance, “alone time” and there was the whole missing law student thing which brought in the hot alpha Federal Agents and local Police Officers.
I was a little confused by the focal point in the beginning but as the story progressed it was clear to me where this series will be going. My confusion didn’t cause me enough distraction to take away from the book.
I have book two in my kindle and looking forward to getting it read.

Beneath the Surface by Amy McKinley is the third book in the Gray Ghost series. This book is an action packed, suspenseful love story.
Hannah is a bad a$$ and shows it time and time again. She has dealt with some blows in life and kept the anger from the things that have happened inside where it keeps building.
Jack is an alpha to the bone, but has a huge heart. He does so much to help out the homeless people, especially the teens on the streets.
I had a feeling about some of the things that happened to Hannah and was quite proud of myself when I was right.
I wonder how long I have to wait for the next book in this series, hope it isn’t too long.

Full Glasses and Burju Shoes by Blake Blessing had me from the very beginning. There was something about Perrin. Her personality and thirst for life just grabbed me and I think I might have fallen in love a little bit.
Perrin is someone I wish I could be more like. She doesn’t fear a lot in life except for maybe relationships but she doesn’t allow that to weigh her down and dictate how she’s going to live which is life as an adrenaline junkie.
Emil broke my heart from the moment I was introduced to him. He has PTSD and is not dealing with civilian life very well. It only gets harder when he loses a friend. To me he seemed to be in a bit of a free fall. Until he makes a decision which changes everything for him.
Loved this story and the way it ended. I don’t usually have a smile on my face when I have to say bye to the characters I have fallen for but in this case I did.

Pandora’s Poison by Sacha T. Y. Fortuné is the second book in the Hart & Cole series. I liked the first book in this series and knew this one should be as good at the very least. But I think I ended up liking this one more than the first.
Darren isn’t really the most likable man, he’s a workaholic who doesn’t spend nearly enough time with his family. But he has something about him that just seemed to speak to me. Just because he wasn’t always there it didn’t mean that he didn’t love his family. He actually loved them a lot more than I would have expected.
This is a cliffhanger and I’m anxious to see how everything plays out for Darren and his family. There are so many possibilities and of course my imagination is running wild.

Surviving Jordan by Virginia Wine is the third book in the Surviving Series. This book started with a twist and the suspense and mystery kept me guessing.
I loved Jordan! She is a strong woman who was fortunate enough to not have to deal with men who don’t think she’s worthy of her position.
Ben is a great and honorable guy. He deserves to be happy after all of the emotional torture he has put himself through.This has been an amazing series to read and I highly recommend it.

Caught in the Cross Seas by Sharleen Scott is the first book in the Caught Series. I was drawn in at the very beginning and hated to finish it only because I enjoyed it so much.
Harlie has an incredibly giving heart and she tugged at my heart in the first chapter and didn’t let go. Her work to give back to people who are in such dire need me makes me want to do more. She has her demons but don’t we all.
Clay also has an amazing heart and demons. He hasn’t let his fame effect who he is as a person and it has actually made him able to do more.
As a child of an addict I was able to connect with some of the feelings Harlie had buried deep. As much as we don’t want to admit it the actions of our parents both positive and negative impact us.
Great book! Can’t wait to get to the next in the series.

A Christmas Wish by Engy Neville was a sweet story with real life moments thrown in just to hook you a little more.
Amy was a little too hippie for me. What kind of person willing gives up coffee? Someone obviously not in their right mind. But seriously, Amy moves across the country and fully embraced the out with the old, in with the new mentality which I applaud except for the coffee. The new includes a new job (her dream job), new friends and a man. She is totally in love with her New York life including the winters (again questioning her sanity) and all that comes with them.
This is the first time I’ve read anything by Ms. Neville and I did enjoy it. I will keep my eye out for her in the future.

Player by Pamela DuMond left me wanting more. This is a cliffhanger and I’m usually too impatient to wait for the next book. I’m ready for the next book in the series but I knew going in what I was in for.
Evelyn has so many big heavy thing put on her shoulders at such a young age. With bills piling up she did what she had to do to keep her head above water. In my younger years I would have judged someone for doing what Evelyn did. But with age comes wisdom and I get it now.
I’m curious to see where this adventure takes us. What’s going to happen? Is she going to find love? Happiness? I certainly hope so.
If you’re on the fence about reading this book just do it.

Written in the Stars by T. Birmingham is the second book in the Fallen Eagles MC series. This book was so much more than I was expecting.
Winter and Davis are amazing together and were even before they were together. They seemed like two pieces of a whole and they worked for me.
Winter reminded me a bit of my younger daughter. She is sarcastic and hard to connect with emotional when she is feeling out of control. I think we all do it to some extent but Winter makes it an art.
Davis is truly a hero. After serving our Country and sacrificing so much during that time and getting hurt both physically and mentally. He didn’t allow any bitterness and anger change him for the worse.
I’m surprised how much I enjoyed this book and enjoying this series. It’s definitely not the typical MC series or least not like the ones I’ve read in the past and I like it.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
Mel flys to Spain last minute to help her Aunt and act as a stand in for her Mom. After an incredibly long trip she finally gets on her last flight only to find she is sitting next to a very good looking man.
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.

Guilty Pleasures Volume 2: Guilty Pleasures by Joyce McCarthy is a small collection of short stories each one about different fantasy type scenarios. You have the best friend’s Mom, teacher and neighbor to name a few and they are all with Brad who seems to be a very busy man.
Each one of these stories is short but hot and I think my favorite was the story about the teacher but they were all good.
Ms. McCarthy does a good job of being risque without going too far.
