Reckless Love: A Small Town Slow-Burn Forbidden Love Romance (The Bennetts of Langston Falls Book 4)

I loved Becky and Glen so much and was cheering for them from the beginning. Everyone deserves a second chance, but Glen was lucky they gave it to him after the history they all share.

I get that Becky is the baby of the family and older brothers are supposed to be super protective but I think the Bennett boys took it too far.

So many little details that are minor individually but together they add depth to the story and characters.

I have read several if not all of the books by Ms. Fletcher and have not been disappointed or left wanting more from that couple.

I’m hoping that there will be at least one more after the next one is released. Love knowing how everything turns out and there is one character I hope gets a chance to find love.

The Christmas Escape

Ms. Williams has once again written a quirky, funny and cute book that I throughly enjoyed.

Australia is on my bucket list of places to go and I think my desire to there gree bigger after this. How can you go wrong with sun, beach and a hot Aussie? Definitely better than the cold any day of the week.

Loved how Lizzie and Jasper meet, not one I had read before. Watching it start out as new friends and evolve from there was something I enjoyed.

The characters were what I have come to expect from Ms. Williams and will keep me coming back for more.

Beautiful Dangerous: Philly Heat Series, #4

The suspense happens close to the beginning and doesn’t let up. Hannah and Doyle meet under less than perfect circumstances and it causes them to be thrown together quite a bit while he protects her.

My heart hurt for Hannah, she loses her brother than the stalker steps things up and it completely upends her world. The fear and terror she must have felt while it was happening isn’t something I would ever want to feel.

Doyle is a good guy who deals with bad guys pretty regularly, he latest case drained happiness and life from him.

There was one scene early on that had me double checking things were shut and locked. Felt like I was part of it and could understand her fears.

I have been keeping up with this series and there is always a little something that surprises me which I love.

Beyond Friendship (The Irresistible Series Book 3

I fell in love with all three of the guys in just this book. I hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting them before now but they all left quite an impression on me. Of course Brian’s was the biggest since it’s his story.

My emotions were all over the place while reading and may have gotten some weird looks from the family as I sat here crying during certain parts.

Amanda was exactly what Brian needed when she came into his life. The chemistry was off the charts from the moment they laid eyes on one another and resisted due to Nick warning him off and Brian not being interested in more than one night.

I need to go back and read Nick and Cole’s stories and I hope there will be another, don’t think this group is done telling their stories yet.

Truck Stopped (Satan’s Devils MC) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by Robin Rankin

/0 Comments/in , /by

Truck Stopped, Satan’s Devils MC, Book 11

I love how this final book in the original Tuscon chapter wraps things up with this generation as well lay the path for the second generation of Satan’s Devils Tuscon chapter.

Truck isn’t one of the original members but became a fixture pretty early on in the series.   He gets through being a prospect only to go fight a wild fire.  Things go from amazing to garbage in the blink of an eye.

Ally is such a strong woman.   She did what she had to do to survive, fate stepped in and changed her life for the better.

I find myself getting so lost in the story that the narrators are definitely the story.

If you’re a fan of the Devil’s you will know everyone and their stories. If you’re interested in the Devil’s I cannot not stress enough to start with Book 1.

Fractured Hearts-Prospect (Grimm Wolves MC Book 7)

This book was my formal introduction to the Grimm Wolves even though I have some knowledge of them because of the Devil’s Handmaidens series and I’m currently planning on when I will have time to go back and read the first 6 books.

Dingo/Frank and Celee won me over from the beginning and worked their way in deeper the further I got into the book. Oh, and there is a puppy which only makes things better.

This group is quite entertaining and not afraid of doing whatever it takes to protect anyone who needs it

I will get caught up and ready for the next book in the series. With being new to the series I was happy I was able to keep up, but definitely think reading in order is the best way to fully appreciate the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wild Lavender: A Fated Love Fantasy Romance (Heart & Hand Series Book 1)

Every now and again a cover catches my eye and I cannot refuse it when it calls to me. Not always lucky with the book, but I was for sure this time.

This was a tough time to live in, especiallyfor women. Women were treated like property, had to do what the fathers or husbands say without a fight. I wouldn’t have survived it. My mouth would have gotten me into trouble a lot.

I was hooked from the beginning. I will wake up at night sometimes and have a hard time going back to sleep like last night, I will read for a bit until I start getting tired. That plan backfired on me this morning. Instead of a few chapters I ended reading at least a quarter of it, forced myself to put it down since I had a busy morning and needed to function.

Worth every second of sleep I lost.

Vixen: (Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter)

I think this is my favorite of this series but can’t figure out how this one hit me the way it did.

Vixen has dealt with some serious problems in her life and still has a lot of baggage due to her past which after learning all she has been thought I don’t know how she is going on.

Ironside won me over pretty quick after being introduced. He based his decisions on how it would effect Vixen and her new life. They weren’t always the right decisions but they seemed to be at that time.

I am love with all of these woman, they’re strong, independent and not afraid doing anything necessary to save and protect others who aren’t as strong or in dire need of help.

Though they can standalone I highly recommend reading from the beginning and you should get started soon.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daring Ceri: A Second Chance Rock Star Romance (True Platinum Rock Star Romance Series Book 6)

I was late to this series but now that I have found it I am in love.

We learned about Alex and Ceri in Lily’s book and this gives us the back story and picks up the day she confronts him. The story only gets better from there.

Alex is definitely the party boy/Wild child but he is also so much more than that persona. He’s definitely someone I would have hung out with back in the day. Heck, he kind of reminds me of several of the guys used to hang out with, well except for the being rich and in a popular bad. I enjoyed watching him progress the further we get into the book and turn into an adult.

Ceri’s actions were all self preservation after Alex wrecked her more than once. She finds happiness while trying to protect herself.

Now I have to wait until the next book is released to find out what happens next.

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.

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.

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.

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!
