Designing Love is the first book in The Calderone Family Romance seriesby Victoria Grant. This is my first read from Ms. Grant, and as I have been known to do- I jumped on board the series part way through. Luckily this book, and series, can be read as standalones. I discovered a sassy contemporary romantic comedy with enough drama, banter, and antics to keep me entertained. The characters are realistic and believable- they are fully developed with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws. Caroline drove me crazy with her temper, somewhat aggressive assertiveness, and argumentative manner. I found it a little hard to connect with her because of my frustrations. But the story was well written, and I liked Charles, so those things kind of balanced the experience for me. I am curious about the other characters who are a part of this series- and will probably go back to read the other two books so I can familiarize myself with them and their stories. So, if you like strong sassy female leads, drama, power struggles, and romantic comedy- then you will want to add ‘Designing Love’ to your library. Happy Reading!

“I don’t want to work for anyone. I’m through with it. I’ve seen the official obligations of working for the government, and the path you must navigate when working as an organization like Purgatory. I’m tired of it. Nothing moves, the bad guys are still roaming the streets, and we face the same issues over and over again. I can’t stay without doing anything, and I’ve run out of patience for official channels. I’m going to explore less official ones.”
Night Justice is the first instalment in a stellar new series by India Kells. Ms Kells is one of my favourite authors, and I can always count on her to deliver an enthralling read. The premise of this story grabbed me right from the get-go. The whole vigilante justice angle mixed with plenty of action, an investigative reporter, danger, the underworld, and a new deadly drug- what’s not to love. Right? This book/series is a bit of spin-off from the Purgatory series- with characters, and references to events from Women of Purgatory. You don’t need to have read that series to enjoy this book- but I highly recommend reading them anyway- because not only are they fantastic stories- I think knowing what happens there will give you a much better understanding of the background events that propelled the whole “vigilante’ angle- and I think that would really elevate this reading experience for you. At the very least I think you should read “Breaking Point” (Woman of Purgatory Book #4- Novella). As expected, Ms. Kells weaves palpable suspense, tension, intrigue, and drama- holding my attention throughout this engrossing story. Really looking forward to the rest of the series!

I enjoyed this book. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from her. This is a well written story that I found to be engaging and fast paced. I had no problem connecting to the characters as they made the story come to life. This is a story about the rules you set for yourself and realizing that sometimes they are meant to be broken. Caroline has made her career the most important thing in her life. She has one rule, no relationships but when she is selected for a new job will Charles change her mind? Charles is the VP of his family business. He knows that there is more to his life than just work. When he meets Caroline, he can’t seem to get her out of his head. Will he get her to break her rule? These are great characters that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I enjoyed the banter back and forth which kept me turning pages. I found myself wanting them to have a happy ever after. I highly recommend reading this book to find out if fate lets them get the happiness they deserve.

Night Justice (A Chicago Vigilantes Novel Book 1) by India Kells
5 Stars
I loved this unique storyline. India Kells is a favorite of mine already, and this start to a new series had me hooked from the first chapter.
Orla is a noted Investigative reporter, she is trying to get to the bottom of a suspected Vigilante in her city. Another story falls on her desk and she decides to put the Vigilante on the back burner while she tries to figure out how to stop the distribution of a new drug in her city that has been known to kill people.
I love how the author merged Orla’s two stories together and watching these unfold had a lot of edge of your seat reading.
Although it did not end on a huge throw your kindle kind of cliff hanger, the story will continue and I can not wait to see how this all plays out.
This was a quick read which I was able to devour in one sitting and I highly recommend grabbing it.

Be Brave With Me by CA Miconi and J.B.Havens Five Stars
Be Brave With Me is the first book in the Finding Love in Green Springs series by J.B. Havens and CA Miconi. This series is going to be both heartbreaking and heartwarming if this first installment is any inclination. This book had me on an emotional roller coaster. I have to say this is the first book of the year that left me with a book hangover. I had to have a box of tissues on hand. The main characters, Meg and Drew, are both broken and dealing with loss. I would highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the next book in this series. Review by @sunbarn

Be Brave With Me:Finding Love in Green Springs book 1 by J.B Havens and CA Miconi and is a 4 star read. This is the story of Meg and Drew who both had pretty life changing events happen to them and while they are dealing with the emotions that come with it they find each other, but can they deal with their pasts to make a happy future or will their depression tear them apart? My emotions were put through the ringer with this book, the authors gave us a story that holds your attention and doesn’t want to let go even after the book was done.

Forgotten Promise by Virginia Wine a fabulous five-star read. This is number two in the Forgotten series and it has gone from strength to strength, I really enjoyed how we hear mostly from Nathan and Bryer but very occasionally we get to hear from Cash, and that helped me get into his head more, it just seemed to add another layer to the story. The twists and turns with this story will have you upside-down, and leave you breathless, there is such a rich storyline and characters that you cant help but feel every emotion they are going through, the loss, the love and the passion. I cant wait to hear more from this author.

Can a blunt pragmatist and a hopeful romantic design a perfect relationship?
Caroline Winters’ architectural career is her top priority. Her Number One rule has always been ‘No Relationships’. But when she’s selected as the lead designer of the Calderone Industries office complex, that rule is put to the test when she must work with the owner’s son. He is artistic and gorgeous but why won’t he let her do the job she’s qualified to do?
Charles Calderone is a connoisseur of all fine things and knows there’s more to life than just a job. His VP position in the family business has always had its challenges, but this architect is driving him to distraction. She is talented and beautiful but has the infuriating habit of confronting him on every design decision!
Tempers flare and sparks fly as their professional and personal lives collide. Can they find a way to navigate through their endless power struggles to finish this project successfully? Or will both their careers end up in ruins?
Born in Lancashire, England to a Lawrence Welk-loving mum and a Monty Python-loving dad – tea drinkers all – we moved to Canada when I was seven. “Say book, say look” my new classmates would hound me just so they could have a good chuckle at my accent. But being incredibly shy, this was a great way for me to make friends.
My love of words and a creative imagination prompted English teachers to urge me to write for a living. My grade 12 Creative Writing teacher suggested I send a sample of my “sizzling dialogue” to the (then) three major television studios in New York City. He was convinced one of them would hire me to write for a soap opera. But, being the still-shy teenager, I didn’t have the courage to do it.
Through the years, I wrote all types of stories while I earned a living as an Administrative Assistant in various businesses including a bank, a car rental firm, an ice cream company, and a pharmaceutical manufacturer. I was more than a little peeved when I discovered none of them gave out free samples. Do you believe that? None of them! Geez. I went on to own a Wedding Coordination business for six years (talk about romance!), all the while being happily married to the love of my life (yep – even more romance!).
These interesting jobs plus wedded bliss gave me oodles of ideas for romantic plot lines, swoon-worthy heroes and feisty, beautiful heroines, and, of course, the happy ever afters.
So amidst endless cups of strong tea while Cole Porter tunes and the dead parrot sketch whirl around in my brain, I write romances with a dollop of humour. I have an irresistible need to create captivating characters whose lives I can make completely miserable before giving them their happy ending.
I currently live in Mississauga and wonder how all the wine and chocolate magically appear in my house…

I’m never quite sure how Mitcham does it. But yet again she’s crafted a spellbinding story that held me captive from beginning to end. I love Libby’s character! And I truly love how characters overlapped between books and yet each storyline’s integrity remained intact whether you had read the series in total or not. For best enjoyment, and quite honestly how you wouldn’t read the other books I’m not quite sure they are so well written, I do recommend reading this in series order. But regardless prepare yourself for quite the ride. Mitcham is in a class all her own when it comes to weaving a tale full of crime, passion, suspense, and romance. Five stars – all the way!

How is the exciting third instalment in the is the Stalker Seriesby Megan Mitcham. I have been hooked on this series since reading the first thrilling story. So, needless to say I couldn’t wait to get my hands on book three. I lept on it the moment it hit my Kindle, and WOW– it blew me away. There were so many little twists that I wasn’t expecting! The tension and suspense were so well crafted- keeping me on the edge of my seat most of the way through. As with the other two books, the story is intense, compelling, and very clever. There were scenes that toyed with my emotions- tying me in knots with what was happening. There were shocking developments that I never saw coming- things that had me yelling at my Kindle, and wondering How Ms. Mitcham would take things from here. The events that occur coupled with the way this book has ended, leaves me wondering if there will be another book- because as things stand, it doesn’t look too hopeful. But, as I am an eternal optimist, I am holding out hope that Ms. Mitcham has some tricky little twist- a truly cunning plan which will result in us getting our fourth book. There has to be a way!!! Libby Irish loves her job and has worked incredibly hard to excel in her field and earn the respect she deserves in the somewhat chauvinistic environment of the FBI. But when a photo of her at a crime scene goes viral, things take a sinister and dangerous turn. Not only does she have to deal with the media scrutiny and office politics that come with the unwanted attention- she also seems to have a stalker targeting her. Things get quite intense and her life begins to unravel. She will have to get to the bottom of it all before it’s too late. What unfolds makes for a riveting read!!! The story is complex and really well woven with plenty of thrills, dramatic developments, emotion, suspense, mystery, intrigue, tension, danger, action, chemistry, romance, steam, humour, banter, secrets, obsession, guns, bombs, bullets, murder and mayhem. This is an action packed episode of the Stalker series that had me devouring every page as quickly as I could, just so I could find out what was happening and who was behind it all. There were some shocking and incredibly heartbreaking scenes that left me reeling and wondering where that left us for more stories and the future of the series. My mind was spinning, while my heart was breaking. This book could be read as a standalone, but as each book focuses on an individual from a great group of very close friends, and a little crossover in timelines, I really recommend reading the previous book/s before starting on this one. The other two stories are entirely riveting and truly deserve to be read, as well as introducing us to the recurring characters. Knowing all the characters and the events that happen in the other books will definitely enhance your reading experience of this story. I so don’t want this series to be over!!! I need my next fix STAT!!! (Hint hint hint Ms. Mitcham!!!!)

Humiliating Revenge by T. Christensen was a great read! I was immediately captured from the first page and I couldn’t put this story down until I finished it all. I feel like there should be a content warming in the beginning however, as several parts of the story are graphic and could potentially be triggers. It was a great story, with a great plot, amazing characters and overall really well written. This is the first novel I’ve read by Christensen and I can’t wait to read more in the future!

Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen
Once I started reading this book I was unable to put it down. I was so drawn in that I read it in one sitting. I was taken on a surprising roller coaster of emotion. I absolutely loved reading this story, the characters conveyed so many emotions throughout the story. Both Calum and Olivia had layers of feelings from their time together in high school and from their break up. Olivia has always been seen and the stuck up snotty girl but there’s more there than meets the eye. Calum who has now become an MMA fighter has resentment and anger built up for the way Olivia humiliated him, but there are other feelings buried deep inside. There are some really great supporting characters in this book as well. The author did an excellent job striking a chord inside of me and writing a wonderful and intriguing story. I highly recommend this book.

How (Stalker #3) by Megan Mitcham was a thrilling 5 star read.
We start with Libby being part of a huge weapons bust. When she returns to the offices she is surprised to see pictures of her hanging up all over in the break room. Pictures continue to show up at different times and places in the office.
At home she has her neighbors cat “Killer” for company. The first few times she meets her neighbor he says nothing to her but he is hot as heck. When things take a scary twist she gets to know her neighbor better and they start to have a very hot connection. He turns into the protector when Libby tells him that someone has been coming into her home while she’s sleeping.
Can Libby and Jake find out who the stalker is before someone is killed? Can these two have a HEA together?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. I loved both characters and the steamy moments we got with them. The secondary characters were great as well. I had some LOL moments when it came to the cats in the story. I was pulled in by Megan’s writing and didn’t want to stop until I was done. I love the guessing game of who is the stalker up until the surprise towards the end. Even though this is the third book in the series you can read this book as a stand alone.

Hansel & Gretel (Down the Rabbit Hole) Anthology was full of interesting stories providing a retelling of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. Each story had a different twist and I enjoyed how the two were depicted differently. The stories include romance, fantasy, and horror versions. A few easily caught my attention while some took me a couple of pages. My favorite story in the anthology is “The Dragon and The Phoenix” by Rachel Pudsey. I enjoyed the characters in this short story and also the creativity. This book was enjoyable and entertaining. I recommend it.
I enjoyed this book. It is the third book in this series and my favorite yet. I highly suggest reading the previous two books. This is a well developed story that I had a hard time putting down. It is engaging and full of romance. I had no problem connecting with the characters. The emotional roller coaster ride they took me on had me turning pages to the end. This is a second chance love story that pulled at my heartstrings. Fate has brought Silas back to Atlanta, back to Audrey. Will she hate him for leaving the first time? Audrey has finally gotten to the part of her life where she has everything she wants. What will happen when fate puts Silas back into her life? Is she strong enough to resist him or will fate give them a second chance? I enjoyed the chemistry between them. I also enjoyed watching these two character’s relationship grow throughout the story. This is a really great story. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Christensen – Review by Tausha Treadway
Hansel & Gretel (Down the Rabbit Hole) is an anthology of brilliant stories by a variety of fantastic authors. They have each taken on the task to create their own version of the classic tale Hansel and Gretel and the result is a mix of original retellings. Anthologies have never been my favourite style of book to read but it is ones like this that is slowly changing my mind. I enjoyed each and every one of these stories – they were all so different from each other but all so exciting. The books touched on a range of different topics and straddled the line of dark writing so well. Each book had something about it that made me enjoy it. There was a different element that caught my attention. The one thing I can say that all the books had was a well written story with some complex and interesting characters. This is definitely an anthology I would recommend as well as 7 authors to discover.
So the second book in this trilogy definitely measured up against the first, it may not have been as full of action however the continuation of Bryer and Nathan’s relationship had be hanging on every turn of the page! There were some twists and turns for them to navigate in this story and I really enjoyed following them. I loved that the story was told from dual POV’s (Bryer and Nathan) my favourite writing style to read and I enjoyed the odd POV from Cash as well! When I first started this book I thought I knew what was going to happen so I loved that the author threw in a character I didn’t expect which took the storyline off on a tangent which was exciting and unexpected! I am definitely looking forward to more from Ms Wine in the future!

This was a great read. You cant help but love the characters in this story and it keeps you gipped.
Calum and Olivia were high school sweethearts. Their love for each other was strong and pure. However Olivia was the Mayors daughter and he didnt approve so forced her to break up with Calum in a public way. Causing heartbreak to them both and public humiliation to Calum.
Fast forward years later, Calum is a successful MMA fighter. He returns home for a fight and makes it his goal to find and humiliate Olivia the way she did him.
However, things arent what they seem. Then or now. Olivia is trapped by her abusive father who rules every aspect of her life. She sees no escape from him.
Can Calum see past his hurt to see what is really happening and rescue her or will her hardshell and cold attitude succeed in hurting and pushing him away again.

Sometimes you need to read a book whether you know it or not. This book in one way or another called to me. I am so glad I read this book, I just needed it. Meg and Drew are our two main characters and I really got wrapped up in their stories and how they’ve battled through everything life has decided to throw at them. I love small town stories and all that comes with them. I cant wait to see where this series goes! Glad I took a chance on these 2 new to me authors!

Ok im going to get this off my chest first lol. I loved this book through and through and I understand the reasoning, i do, but I am so bothered/aggravated by the ending I can’t get over it. I know why it was done the way it was but I just need an answer as to who?! I cant make a guess because each one was great in their own way. Ok got that all out! This was so different and i really enjoyed this. What if we could see what would happen with each choice made in life? That’s this book. Different takes on different choices. Chloe was a no drama character really she wasn’t. I loved her blunt holds no punches attitude. And all the people we meet. I loved them. Great read really, im just hung up about the end.
What a read! I’m so glad that I picked this read up, I was absolutely captivated with this read from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down till the very end. I found the ending of this read bittersweet, as I really didn’t want it to end, I wanted to carry on following Drew & Meg’s story.
This was a beautiful read that was full of emotions, Meg & Drew both held my heart the entire read and I just hoped that their past wouldn’t hold them back from what you could tell was going to be an epic love! Meg & Drew’s connection started off a tad rocky but boy oh boy did it definitely heat up, they had an amazing chemistry and connection in and out of the bedroom, they really bounced off each other and brought out the best in each other all the while breaking down each others barriers.
This book really brought out all your emotions, in parts it was both heartwarming and heartbreaking but I couldn’t help but route for these two characters that they get a HEA they both so deserve. I loved the secondary characters that were weaved into Meg & Drew’s story, but Nana was who stood out the most! I loved her honesty, her caring and protective side all rolled into one, yet she never judged.
This was an amazing story that I can’t wait to read again, I’m looking forward to reading what else comes to this series and what characters journeys we follow next!
I highly recommend this read, it’s not to be missed!

This is my first book by CA Miconi. I knew it was a romance and that’s exactly what I needed in my life. I didn’t realize how much this book would gut me hearing all of their past. I fell hard and fast for both of the main characters in this book- Meg and Drew. Which ironically is my ex husband’s name. I have to admit that threw me off, but he acts more like my boyfriend now- so I was a goner for these two characters. It was a great read and I recommend it 100%. This will not be my last book by CA Miconi!

I give How (Stalker Series Book 3) by Megan Mitcham, 5 stars.
This is my favorite book in the series. While every main character in this series has been wonderful, I personally could relate to Libby a bit more. Throw cats into the mix and you sold me. All of that aside, this book has the romance and suspense you have come to expect in this series. There are many twists and turns and you feel exactly what Libby must be feeling — both good and bad. The new characters introduced in this book are really interesting too. They have layers to them, not just flat placeholders.
If you like a romantic suspense story with a strong female lead and lots of twists and turns, this book is for you.

Not So Far (Love Grows Series Book 3) By Renee Regent 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Not So Far (Love Grows Series Book 3) by Renee Regent. It pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. The story had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I loved the characters of Silas and Audrey. Audrey is a woman who is intelligent, independent, and sassy. She can’t believe it when Silas once again appears in her life. Silas is a man who wants a second chance with Audrey. Problem is that Audrey is mad at him for disappearing all those years ago. When these two get together there is a connection between them. There is a passion that can’t be denied. There are also secrets that both have kept. What does the future hold for Silas and Audrey? Will they take the second chance that has been given to them? What will happen if secrets are revealed? Read this book to find out. This story has very romantic scenes. I enjoyed the bantering that goes back and forth between Silas and Audrey. I couldn’t help but care what happens in their life and I was rooting for them to find happiness. This is a book about love and second chances. The author does a wonderful job of making the characters come alive. This is a story that will have you hooked and not wanting to put it down. I highly recommend reading it.

Fate brought me back to Atlanta, Georgia, but there’s only one thing that will make me stay—a second chance with the love of my life, Audrey Colebank. Which isn’t likely, because she hates me for disappearing so many years ago.
I can’t tell her the real reason I left. Someone close to her made me promise to stay far away, and revealing what happened would only hurt Audrey again. But now that I’ve seen her, the spark that never went out has become a flame. Keeping away from her is going to be difficult. Maybe impossible.
Should I leave again to protect her, or can we find a way to be together?
Audrey
I was at a point in my life where I finally knew who I was and what I wanted. Then fate threw me a curveball from the past—my biggest mistake, Silas Vance.
Seeing him again has forced me to face two truths. One, I still can’t resist him, even though he tore my heart to shreds when he left. And two, I can’t tell him my biggest secret without hurting him and everyone I love.
He doesn’t deserve a moment of my time after what he did, but avoiding him is easier said than done. When he’s near, logic and reason disintegrate in the fire of passion he ignites in me.
Do I have the strength to resist him, or will I make another mistake?

Perfectby Tricia Copeland is an intriguing take on contemporary romance. Ms. Copeland’s creative way of bringing this story together, and the way she involves her readers- really made for a great read. This story is a little different from the other books that I have read from Ms. Copeland- and showcases her storytelling talents and confirms that she is able to tackle any genre. The premise of this book really intrigued me, and I loved the simple and elegant cover- and having enjoyed Ms. Copeland’s other work, I happily grabbed a copy to entertain me for an afternoon. Perfect is a standalone, light-hearted, interesting, and thought provoking read. It has emotion, humour, sweet and tender scenes, a ‘clean’ romance, and great characters. I enjoyed the way the story was woven, even if it was a little predictable at times. Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Copeland does next!

Be Brave With Me (Finding Love In Green Springs Book 1) by J.B. Havens (Goodreads Author), C.A. Miconi was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning with these two.
Following ;a tragedy in her life, Meg has sold everything and is looking for a new place to live. When she stops in a small town to rest she ends up getting more than she bargained for. She meets Nana at the hotel and she is very kind. Then she meets Drew, the first time she sees him she is completely rude and mean to him.
Meg isn’t the typical woman that Drew would fall for but there is something about her that draws him in. With the past tragedy he hasn’t been interested in moving on but Meg seems to spark something in him. Megs car breaks down and she ends up having to stay in town longer. Drew takes advantage of this and asks Meg out. You could feel their connection coming off the pages.
Can these two get past their tragic history and find happiness together?
“Sometimes, bein’ brave doesn’t mean not feelin’ fear. I think true bravery is when you feel the fear, own it, and do what scares you anyway” – Drew
Overall I really enjoyed this book. I had so many emotions during the read along with LOL moments. Meg was feisty and said what came to her mind and Drew was a hot as heck sweet man. The secondary characters were great. This was a great second chance romance that pulled at my heartstrings. I look forward to reading more from this series. 1-click and get started today.
