Cruel Truths: A Grumpy Boss – Enemies to Lovers Romance (Tessa and Jordan Book 3)

I didn’t realize how much I missed Tessa, the Moms and Lindy until I started reading this book. There were some different views of the Tessa & Jordan issues and we get to know Lindy a lot better.

Chase was a grumpy, grumpy man and was determined to make Lindy’s life at work as difficult as possible and he does a great job all while fighting the attraction between the two of them.

There was definitely a lot of love/hate going on between but them which kept me reading and frustrated me at the same time. A lot of times the angsty books don’t do it for me, but there is something about the way this book and series were written that wouldn’t allow me to put it down.

Mr Wimp: A Steamy, Dating Humour Novella: The Human Mating Site Book 1 of 13

This book scared me. Only because I couldn’t imagine being single after being married for as long I have. I don’t know if inwould even try again especially after the way Bella’s marriage ended.

Like most women Bella finds herself surrounded with the perfect circle of friends. All very supportive and encouraging her find time to rediscover who she is.

I’m looking forward to going this journey with Bella, hope she is able to find herself, her person and happiness.

Ignite My Heart (North Fork Series Book 2)

I was able to finish this book in just a day even with having to work. I had a hard time putting it down and found myself sneaking a page or two when I had a minute.

Morgan and Blake’s introduction made me laugh out loud but thankfully I wasn’t in the office at the time so it wasn’t necessary to come up with an excuse.

I adored Morgan, Blake and Ciara from the moment I met them and that grew the further I got into it. So many little things made me smile, mostly the moments with Ciara.

I have noted when the next book is released and will be ready to read.

Wild For Me (The Balefire Series Book 3)

I am 100% one of the many girls who had dreams of the rock star being their one true love. So this book and series makes the 16 yr old me from 1989 squeal.

Dakota is the one who swore off relationships and want nothing more than a night with a girl if that long. All of that changes in a moment.

Annabelle and her relationship with her younger sister remind me of my daughters relationship with one another and I loved it.

The Balefire guys are the best. I just do not like Garrett and after being such a jerk I don’t know if he is redeemable or not, but I’m looking forward to finding out.

A Death on Fools Lane : An Eve Sawyer Mystery

It grabs you from the very beginning and doesn’t let you go. What a well written and enjoyable read.

This was not my first meeting with Eve and it won’t be the last. She finds herself in the middle of these cases and works to provide closure to those left behind.

This time the case is a lot closer to Eve than expected while she, Cassie and Randall are house sitting for Cassie’s Aunt Madison while she goes on a trip. The body is found in Madison’s backyard.

Totally didn’t guess the circumstances for the death and how everything connects and that makes me like the book even more. I live the booked that leave me surprised.

Ms. Suen has not disappointed me while reading her books and doesn’t seem to stick to just one genre which I like. It opens the door to so many different people, including me.

The end killed me. I have to know what’s going to happen next. I know I have said it before but I am 1000% obsessed with this series and totally invested in this group and have been since Chapter 1 of the Prequel.

This is the second part of Phoenix and Aspen’s story and oh my goodness, wasn’t disappointed at all. So much happens and I can’t talk about any if it for fear of giving something away.

There is a lot of growth with all of them and some lingering questions get answered, but I still have more I need to find answers to.

Ms. Vaughn please don’t stop writing these amazing books

When We Fell Again: An angsty, second chance rockstar romance

Wow. This book grabbed me as soon as I started reading and did let me off the ride of emotions until I read the last word.

Jordan and Alexis have a lot of history together. They were a couple in college and once that ended they didn’t see each other for for five years. Until they were reunited unexpectedly, he the singer of Idol Rev, she the tour manager.

Jordan’s story is quite sad but also empowering. He has deal some pretty difficult things and fought to overcome them even with the memories flashing up at times.

Lex is successful and the one the company she works for depends on. Her life is different while having some parallels to Jordan.

I felt everything while reading. I throughly enjoyed this book and hope to see more by Ms. Archer and about the Idol Rev guys.

LIES – TRUTH – LOVE

This was a cute yet frustrating story at times. I wanted to yell at Ethan and Olivia a few times and may have voiced my opinion outloud a few times.

I understand to a point why they both reacted the way they did to things that happened. They were just so right for one another from the moment they met and I wanted them to be happy.

The supporting character were great and I wouldn’t be upset if she decided to give them their own stories. Laura and Sophie both need to find their happiness.

This is the perfect book to read in a nice long hot bubble bath, trust me on this. This is not the first book I have read and enjoyed by Ms. Hanna and I don’t think it will be the last.

As Though You Were Mine

This book is an emotional gut punch from the start. My heart broke for Lucy and Mikey and it make me think of my grandson which of course made me cry more.

Julie is not the first woman thrown into motherhood unexpectedly, but most women have 9 months to used to the idea, she had a day. Thankfully I have not been in this situation, but could definitely relate to the struggles of being Mama and doubting everything.

Grant is a dream come true. He was so present with the kids the day he met them. He got to know the kids, Julie and himself and learn so much.

I loved this book. I binged the last half of the book while laying in bed. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to sleep until I knew what happens.

A Forever Kind of Thing

I’m not sure where to start this review. First I enjoyed it and absolutely adored both Wes and Mina from the beginning when they were best friends in 5th grade.

A lot changes in the years they were apart, except their connection to one another. The moment they see one another its like no time has passed.

High school Mina struggled a lot with who she was, almost like she had a foot in the past world she lived in and one in the current world which could not have been any different. Seeing her discover who she really was one of the things I enjoyed the most about this book.

Wes was someone I could relate to, he didn’t allow his not so great childhood define him and did what he could to change to make sure he didn’t repeat others mistakes.

This book hit me deeper than I could have anticipated, it will be one of the books that I will carry with me for a while.

Love & Stilettos

This book pulled me in with the cover, and after reading the synopsis I knew without a doubt I had to read it.

Mia and Mitch are childhood friends who end up going separate ways and eventually find their way back into one another’s life. So much has happened with each of them since the last time they spoke. Mia is a widow trying to restart her life and Mitch is an engaged fire fighter who still has a soft spot for Mia.

I enjoyed this book and found myself hoping something bad would happen to a certain person. Some people just suck and this person was one of those people.

Ms. Lindell weaves an enjoyable story and I appreciate that. Would definitely read other books by her in the future.

Russian and Royally Complicated: An Enemies to Lovers Forced Proximity Secret Baby Hidden Royal Romance (The Crowned Hearts Series Book 2)

Be prepared to have to put the book down long enough to take a breather. They heat between Daphne and Lev is off the charts and not for the faint at heart

I flove Daphne, she is loud, brash and just the absolute best. I felt a kinship with her for some reason but I can’t quite place my finger on it.

Lev is dark and broody with an edge of danger which makes him all the hotter in my mind.

Daphne’s first escape was entertaining and pretty funny. I could visualize her climbing up, and it brought back of a funny memory from one particular day I skipped a class in high school and still have the scar many years later.

Both of these ladies need to continue to write together as well as separately. I can’t seem to get enough of them.

So very thankful for long weekends, if today had been a work day I might have called in sick so I could finish devouring this book. I was hooked from the very beginning and only put it down long enough to make supper and eat.

Ms. McNamee and Ms. Anderson’s writing styles blend perfectly in this book. I have read several of their books individually and one other collaboration and have not been disappointed one.

I love trying to figure out what’s going to happen next but they were able to surprise me a few times.

Fyn and Bridget work so well together and even with all that they have to deal with, they find their way.

I already have the next book loaded on my Kindle to read and I can’t wait.

Cruel Hate: A Dark College Sports Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 5)

I am so completely and totally obsessed with this series. I’m not sure why I am as deep as I am, but want more and I count the days until the next book releases. If you haven’t read at the very least Cruel Start then stop here and go read that first, it’s the prelude to this book. But I recommend starting with the very first book Savage Start, you can thank me later.

Phoenix needs to learn to trust people outside of his brother and cousins. I think if he let go some of what’s bothering him he wouldn’t be as angry and that would go a long way.

So many things happen in this book and we learn a little more about Phoenix, his grandfather and rest of his immediate family not including Damon and Cole. I could not put this book down and thankfully I had a nice long weekend so I could stay up late reading.

This book ends on a cliffhanger which usually bothers me but not in this instance because I know when I will have the next book in my kindle and ready to read.

Sing For Me (The Balefire Series Book 2)

Ashleigh has loved their music and dreamt of the lead singer Blu in Balefire for quite some time. I think most girls have had that dream including me (Mark Slaughter was going to be my husband) as teenagers and young adults, but most know there is no chance we will ever get to meet them let alone fall in love.

I found myself getting lost in their story intertwined with memories and dreams from way too many years ago. I absolutely loved Blu and Ashleigh together. She didn’t cave to him and his ego which I think made him realize she was worth the work he had to do to get her.

I hated having to put this book down, so much so I may have dropped my kindle on my face which I hadn’t done in a while. I kept fighting sleep to get a little further into the book. I already have the next book on my TBR list and I cannot wait to get started.

Love Shots (Bluestone Series Book 4)

Teddy falls and falls hard in this book. He and Summer are childhood friends who haven’t seen one another for several years, when Summer comes home. It’s fast and furious and pretty hot and sweet at the same time.

There is something incredibly sexy about a man who goes all in and Protector for his woman. I know there are several woman who have this kind of devotion from their men, mine may not be super alpha but I have no doubts he loves me though an alpha isn’t a horrible thing to dream about.

Summer is a strong independent woman who tried to live life outside of Bluestone, but after some time she found her way home. Life in a small town isn’t supposed to change much no matter how long you have been gone. Unfortunately someone forgot to mention that to this town.

I have loved each of the books I have read in this series and hope there are more in the future. Maybe Teddy’s friend Tyler???

The Guardsmen (The Olympic Peninsula, Book 2)

I have had the pleasure to listen to both of the books in this series and enjoyed each of them. I loved being able to catch up with Joe, Allie, Teresa and others as well as meeting someone new.

Learning Liam’s story was something I was hoping for since he was introduced. Definitely a lot more interesting than I think most people would have expected.

I highly recommend listening to the first before taking on this one, there is a lot of useful information that will help make this one make sense.

Looking forward to the next one, I really like this family and look forward to keeping them around for a bit.

Softest Touch

This was a sweet and fairly fast paced love story. But it just shows it could happen at any time to anyone, especially when they least expect it.

Derek has a pretty good life as a fashion designer but feels like something is missing so he takes a sabbatical to come back to the business and his new assistant Melinda who refuses to take any of his attitude.

Melinda has had her share of heartbreak and is looking to finding a purpose. Derek was so much more than hlshe could have expected.

I really liked all of the characters especially Sissi and Grandma. I have a soft spot for animals and special people and they won me over pretty quick.

Cruel King

It took me a little bit to get into the book but once I did I couldn’t put it down and I’m currently suffering from a book hangover.

It took me quite a while to warm up to Matthias, I really didn’t want to like him. Still not sure why he was so cruel to her since none of it was her fault, it was outside forces that caused most of the problems

Ava and Matthias’s story was sad in so many ways. They both had to deal with way too much loss at a young age and unfortunately like most the older you get the more you end up losing.

Crying or tearing up is something I do often enough that I don’t think about it. Sobbing is reserved for those gut punch moments and I did in fact sob.

I suggest having kleenex close by if you’re a Cryer and sit back and get lost in this story. I do hope we get to see all of the King boys travel down the love path.

Regaining Integrity (Code of Honor Book 4)

Ms. May has definitely become one of the authors that I click on before reading the synopsis. I always seem to fall in love with her main characters even when they start off as giant jerks like Chase did. I always hope they will find a way to redeem themselves.

Chase and Angelica knew each other in high school, but Chase was a party boy who only thought of himself and didn’t care who he hurt. Thankfully serving in the military got him to grow up, at least a little bit.

Angelica was the smart quiet girl who kept to herself but seemed to a favorite target of one of the girls to bully and she was relentless in her harassment. But Angelica got the last laugh with her.

I really enjoyed this book and series. It gives us a glimpse of the past story to go with the modern one.

Back to the 80'sBack to the 80’s by S.E. Reichert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Back to the 80s

The title alone drew me to this book and when I saw who the author was I knew without a doubt I needed to read it.

As someone who grew up in the 80’s the little references took me back to a time when the responsibilities of being an adult didn’t weight so hard on me. Rainbow Brite, Cabbage Patch Kids (mine was named Heather Dawn), Strawberry Shortcake, Pac-Man and of course the awesome hair band are just a few things mentioned that made me smile.

I do love that she is named Blaine and even as young as she is she loved and appreciated everything from the 80’s and the connection she had to her Mom through the store.

From the beginning I didn’t want to like Eric because he is a developer who takes the places we love and live and either destroy it or make the cost of housing more than an average person can afford. But I was charmed by him when he met Blaine at the store.

I loved the book, characters and the happy memories that came back. Thanks for reminding of the good old days!

I somehow missed this series until this book came out which disappoints me, but it wasn’t necessary to read the others to get inti this book, but u think it would give you more information on the family.

Riordan’s love story takes much longer than most, seventeen years to be exact. He can be a jerk, but he will protect everyone and everything he loves including the girl from his past.

So much happens and holy cow there were some incredibly hot moments, especially close to the end. Definitely not something I can remember reading about in previous books.

Granting Katelyn

I love the Sullivan sisters, each one is strong and fierce but also vulnerable. We get to really know Katelyn in this book and catch up with Ellie.

I am thankfully on vacation from work this week and was able to binge read this book. Think I put it down long enough to eat lunch, but refused to take a nap so I could keep reading.

Katelyn is tough, but not as tough as she would like everyone to think. I think part of the reason is her age, and second her profession which I would assume is dominated by men. She is quite in tune with her feelings as well as the horses she works with.

Grant breaks my heart. He let’s his fears from the past control his future. I understand where he’s coming from to a point, but he needs to keep those negative voices out of his head.

Hugh won my heart from the beginning and I loved him even more at the end of the book.

I’m already looking forward to Laney’s story. I have read several books by Ms. Reichert, have enjoyed each one and will always look forward to reading more.

I am 100% obsessed with the Hawke family and getting to know the second generation after reading their parents stories and in some cases their birth makes me feel a little more connected to them.

This one made me feel all of the emotions. I laughed and cried. Was happy and then absolutely heartbroken sometimes all on the same chapter though it felt like same page.

Angelina’s cafe is a success life is pretty good until Alessandra started acting weird and Angie had to go to Allie’s best friend, everything changed then for all of them.

I fell in love with this family from the moment I met them seven years ago and I hope I’m still reading about them in another seven years. I can’t seem to be able to get enough of the Hawke family.

Absolutely must read this book and series. There is so many connections to the previous books that you should start at the beginning and work you way through.

Tempting Fate: a dark and angsty love triangle romance (Black Shamrocks MC: Australia Book 1)

I just finished and I don’t even know what to say or where to start.

I didn’t read the book before this so everyone was completely new to me, it would have been helpful but not 100% necessary.

Zeke and Slash are brothers in every sense of the word except blood. They are Lily’s rocks from beginning to end though it may not look like it. Like real brothers they are there through thick and thin. Zeke knows he can trust Slash to take care of Lilly any time necessary and that happens way more than it should have

Lily has been through so much starting with the trial at the beginning, putting her life together again after only for it to be destroyed once again.

I don’t think I have hated a character as much as I do Brutus, it’s a very strong and deep hate and I hope he gets what is coming to him

I am not a fan of cliffhangers normally, but I was so relieved to read the words To Be Continued at the end of this book. I will be reading it as soon as possible.

The stalker was relentless with Keira, I would have been terrified and I was able to feel some of her fear. Having a hot former SEAL living next door certainly helps her feel safe to a point. Her trust would have made it a lot easier.

I love these books and I always try to figure out who is involved and I was so wrong on who I thought it might be.

As much as I loved Jeff and Saskia, I think I loved Max at least three times as much. I have definitely developed an appreciation of little boys and their craziness now that I have a grandson.

There were so many ups and downs for all of then but I think they impacted Kia even more with all her insecurities due to her upbringing.

I love these boys, they way they embraced Max and Kia without blinking an eye or getting mad due to less guy time.

I found this series a little later but now that i know I will be reading the rest of the series.

I’m really excited about the next boy. I’m going to enjoy seeing that big boy fall.

Broken.: A Green St. Girls Romance

Wow, what a story! I loved these ladies from the moment I was introduced and I may have fallen a bit more in love with them in this book.

Indigo like the other ladies has done very well for herself in so many ways, but had a hard time letting go of the past which is understandable. She made a promise to Charlie and still hasn’t made good on it, until Gideon comes into her life.

Not sure why but I instantly pictured Henry Cavill as soon as Gideon was described. Not the Witcher, totally got Superman Henry vibes for some reason and I was more than okay with that.

Gideon and Indigo got through a lot in a very short amount of time and a lot of it wasn’t great which sucked but they had such an amazing chemistry that I couldn’t help but read as fast as I could to find out what was going to happen between the two of them.

Now there is 1 remaining Green St. Girls left standing. I think she is going to fall hard when her time come and I can’t wait.

Great book, can be read as a standalone but I would recommend starting with Athena’s story. You won’t be disappointed.

Planting Hope

All I thought about last night and this morning was those kids. They have dealt with unimaginable pain and suffering, yet the garden they were working on with Kit, Mona and Holly became so much more for each of them and their healing.

Holly and Kit weren’t trauma free either and I think that helped them connect with the children and also heal and recover too.

I’m not sure why but Bella in the mud puddle really tickled me, thought about that a few times throughout the book especially during the more difficult moments.

There is love involved, but I feel the book is more about healing any way possible and helping other heal along the way.

Ms. Raines is a new to me author and I absolutely loved this book. I will be reading more by her in the future.
