A Prickly Christmas Kiss by Allyson R. Abbott is the first of four in the Christmas Kiss series.
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

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.

The Killmores is the second part of the series by Martha Sweeney. There was no letting up on the suspense and action. In this second half.
Laurie and Aiden do not have a boring life. They’re traveling around the world with Cain and Mabel but not staying anywhere long just to try and stay a step or two ahead of Laurie’s paranoia and they do for quite a while. Until they don’t.
There were so many unexpected moments, and they were were perfect for this story. This ended with a happy for now ending but I could see future adventures with Laurie and Aiden.

Shoot Me by Lynda Filler is the second book on the Lie To Me series. It had sex, murder, suspense and resolution.
Layla has quite the life in Mexico. She is still writing and finds herself heading from Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara which is so different from the laid back tourist town she is use to.
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 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.

Killmore by Martha Sweeney is part one of a two part series. All I can say is wow. How she dealt with what she did for as long as she did was amazing, the it all hits the fan. Fast forward in time to her life now, Laurie has moved on and enjoying life with her dogs Cain and Mabel (loved their names). But is the past really ever truly dead and gone?
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.

The Changeup by Mary Billiter is the sixth book in the Resort Romance Novel series and I really liked this book. I loved Rebel and her co-workers at The Point. I would have loved to see them a little more involved at certain parts of the story.
Ryan was a great guy, but a little too good of a guy for me. But I guess since he is studying to be a sheriff’s deputy he has to be good.
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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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

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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

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.
