Holding Out for You
by Anna Paige

I absolutely LOVED this book!! I started reading this book before bed and my husband wakes up as the sun is coming up, turns and looks at me and I’m still reading, he just shakes his head at me. I could not put this book down, I was completely drawn in. I fell in love with Ash, Blair, Charli, and Becker, their relationships made me laugh and cry and everything in between. Even some of the other characters like Ash’s mom and stepdad, Beck and Blair’s parents, made this story have that many more layers. Watching in my mind’s eye Blair and Ash’s relationship grow and change from childhood to adulthood, from picking on each other relentlessly to trying to figure out what their relationship is now was awesome. One night changes everything for Blair and the rest of them and I thought the author wrote about this difficult situation very well. If I could give this book more than five stars I would. This is a must read and I know this will be a book I will reread multiple times. I highly recommend this book.

All The Wrong Reasons
A Serendipity Falls Novel
By Erin Bevan
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length Romantic novel. The growth between friends to lovers.

Alexandra Mills and Max Buchanan are the best of friends. Always have been, well sense they were 7 years old. Max is the town’s eligible bachelor. The ladies man as well. Never committing to anyone. Now that his political career is about to change, so must he. Alex is a Christian School teacher. Who has always done well. One night’s out to forget her boyfriend, she ends with her pregnant. She could lose her job over this. Well what do you think could happen? Will Alex and Max remain best friends? Two sides of the tracks, good vs really bad. Where will this find them?

Erin Bevan has written this love story. What a story as well! You may think you’ll read a few pages, just to start. When you can’t help put it down. Rollercoaster from page one until you read The End. Her characters are the people that live next door. She puts you right in her book. This is a new author for me. However I can’t wait for the next book in the Serendipity Falls series. As well as others by Erin Bevan.

Lucifer's Emblem (Celestial Academy, #1)Lucifer’s Emblem by Sarah Biglow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lucifer’s Emblem: A Paranormal Academy Romance by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is the first book in the Celestial Academy series. Lucifer’s daughter is tracking down her father’s emblem which has been stolen. This is his defense against the Archangels but somehow has made its way to the Celestial Academy. Who is behind this theft and will Zuri figure it out and retrieve the emblem.
This is an entertaining book and kept me wanting more. I like the idea of the daughters of Lucifer and Michael having to team up together. There was action and fast paced story telling. I enjoyed the concept, characters, and the story. I am really looking forward to the next book in this series.

5 stars!

I have not had the pleasure of reading anything by Anna Paige, but I am sure glad I took the chance with this one as my first book. This story was everything I could want in a romance. I absolutely love brother’s best friend / best friend’s sister relationships. Something will always go wrong before everything turns out perfect. The characters in this book were fantastically written and the storyline itself, although dragged Ash and Blair’s relationship out too long for me to handle, was amazing. The secondary characters really rounded out the top reasons why this book was wonderful. I really enjoyed watching Ash and Blair’s relationship grow, seeing Ash pick on Blair to cover up his feelings and love for her, really made my heart ache and soar at the same time. I would highly, highly, highly recommend this book to any romance lover. I look forward to checking out more books from this author.

5 Stars!

This story was sweet and sexy. I was addicted to this book and could not put it down. Alex comes into a bit of a predicament and her childhood friend Max offers to help her out, and by helping her out I mean be with her. This proposal is just convenient because it helps Max’s political image and helps Alex take care of her situation, but you can tell Max wants to be with Alex and thinks he just isn’t good enough for her. Alex I think, in my opinion, likes Max but is very leary because of his playboy ways and his past. Watching their relationship unfurl and the issues they face together is beautiful. The characters are wonderfully written, and I really enjoyed the concept of the story. I look forward to more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. I love a good friends to lovers story but this author exceeded all my expectations. This book is part of the Serendipity Falls novels. You can read this book as a stand alone but I noticed there are previous characters that I hope to read about soon. I fell in love with these characters right from the beginning. They drew me into their story so much I could not stop until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.

Alexandrea Mills goes out to get her mind off of her ex. She finds herself in some guy’s bed that she has no idea who he is. Alex decides to leave without a trace. She needs to be very careful because she is a teacher at a private school. Alex is shocked when she finds out that she is now pregnant. She is scared that she is going to lose her job. Alex goes to her handsome best friend Max Buchanan which is the most eligible bachelor in their town. Max comes up with a great plan for the both of them. He tells her they should get married. Max would look like a family man for his campaign and Alex would be able to keep her job. Will their plan work or will someone find out the truth?

This is my first book by Anna Paige, and it won’t be my last.This was an awesome story with great characters, world building and plot. The first page had me and didn’t let go until the last. In this book we meet our main female character Blair. Her best friend Charli, brother Becker and Becker’s best friend Ash. This story has it all, suspense, love, heartache, terror and more. I was honestly sad and happy when this book ended. Such a great author! Also, if anyone knows where I can find myself an Ash, please let me know *swoon*

Sweet Salvation (The Protectors Series Book 3) by Toya Richardson – Review by Liz Vrchota

Sweet Salvation (The Protectors, #3)Sweet Salvation by Toya Richardson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never read anything from Toya Richardson and so this book was a new and uncharted experience for me that I was really excited to embark on when I read the blurb for Sweet Salvation. I do wish that I had read a bit more about the series and started with book one as this is the third in the series. It can be read as a stand alone novel but I do feel as if I may have missed some key points that would have played into my enjoyment of Sweet Salvation. I am intrigued enough that I do plan to go back and start the series from the beginning. This book brings a punch of adventure and suspense along with the romance and underlying relationships among the characters. The story was pretty well constructed and flowed well for me only leaving me curious to find out what will ensue in future novels. I loved how this book kept me on the edge of my seat and didn’t overwhelm me with details like some fantasy and shifter novels tend to do to me. I will definitely be around to see what else is available and to come from Toya Richardson soon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So this book was a winner in my opinion. I have never had the chance to read anything from Shanessa Gluhm before and I really was anxious to dive into this one and find out what she could do. Enemies of Doves has the one era and war that I thoroughly enjoy reading every time and it really took the story it could have been and exceeded all the expectations. I loved how even though we bounce between timelines and details things do not get confusing and things are quite seamless. I loved that I never once felt bored and not attentive to the story that was playing out on the pages before me. I could not put this down and didn’t want to wait any moments to get to the finale and find out what would come of these fabulous characters that I had so grown attached to. I will definitely be around to find out what else is available and to come from Shanessa Gluhm.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a refreshing take on the happily ever after love story that is the typical novel I tend to read and enjoy. I loved how this read almost like a docu series on love and relationships in the real world. I absolutely loved how realistic and connective Livy was for me as well as Jeremy. These two are forced to face life and all the obstacles that it tends to throw in our faces and work through them. They have to remember why they started the journey together in the long run and put in the work and this novel is the outcome of all of this. I sincerely enjoyed how well this read and was an easy one to digest in a rainy afternoon. I needed something to curl up with a warm tea and my blankets and get lost in and this book couldn’t be a more perfect choice for that. I am anxious to see what Zeia Jameson will conjure up for us in her next novel. I do recommend her other novels as a good stand in while you wait!

Life’s A Witch: A Paranormal Romantic Comedy by Carrie Pulkinen is the third book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series. This is a highly entertaining series that keeps getting better.
I have been thoroughly drawn in by this series, the characters and the story. Each one is brilliant. I really liked the two main characters in this one. I found that they had such a strong connection and they were so amusing.
Carrie Pulkinen is one of those authors that really surprised me. From the moment I picked up the first book of hers I was hooked and this has continued through every book I have read, including this one! This is a great series and one I would definitely recommend.

Wow, what a read! From the minute I picked up this book I was cast into a world of supernatural, danger, drama, anger, pain, suspense, traumatic scenes (which was handled with care) emotion that even from this side really got me every time.

This author has an incredible writing style, you find your self unable to put this read down until the very end! I absolutely loved the characters each of them brought something else to the read but together they had something that was so special, you could help but love the two seeing them grow and their connection develop even deeper, and being exactly what each other needed at the right time!
These characters have had a rough time beyond thought but still remain strong!

I loved reading this book, and can’t wait to see what happens in the rest of this series, but I highly recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this enemies to lovers and brothers best friend romance. Blair Martel loves her older brother Becker apart from how over protective he is of her however she still likes to hang out with him unfortunately she hates his best friend and the feelings are mutual. Ashton Hunter is Becker’s best friend and partner in crime and they hang out together all the time the only complication is his younger sister Blair, who Becker treats like she’s breakable but he just wants to keep her from the pedestal everyone else has her on. Also on the scene is Blair’s best friend Charli who may or may not have feelings for her best friends brother, Becker. Following a disastrous date with someone else, Blair and Ash have to admit their true feelings for one another.
I loved the four main characters and their relationships with one another and how these changed and developed throughout the novel, and how their complicated feelings also changed over time. I found having the storyline written from different characters point of view made me more in tune with the characters as I knew what they were really thinking and feeling and this made me feel fully immersed in the story. The storyline flowed nicely and the author had me hooked from page one as she took me on an emotional rollercoaster along with Blair and Ashton. The chemistry between the two of them sizzled off the page even as they were denying their mutual attraction as did the connection between Charli and Becker, I’m hoping the author may give them their own book to explore their possible relationship. I found this book a wonderful read and I could not put it down as I cheered the characters on hoping they would get their happy ever after. I definitely recommend this novel.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a romance story between two childhood friends Max and Alex (Alexandra) who know each other for 20 years. The story is set in a small-town setting. Alex is a girl with lofty ideals, someone who is committed to her work and her partner. Max, on the contrary is a playboy and does not commit to any relationships. One fateful night, Alex goes to a pub, gets drunk and commits a big mistake. She is about to become a single mother. Her job and reputation are in peril. Max is contesting for the Mayor of the town in the upcoming election and is convinced that a family image will help him win the election. So, when he sees Alex in such a pitiable position, his heart goes out for her. He proposes a marriage of convenience to Alex. Alex isn’t very comfortable with this as she thinks that this is a marriage of compromise. If it remains a contract between them or love brews between the two friends forms the crux of the story.
The good part about this book is though the characters are facing some grave problems, it is portrayed in a funny way, so the seriousness of the issues is not highlighted at all. It is a romance book, if anyone is in a look out for a light romance breezy read, you can check this out.

Hawk's Cry (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #2)Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Hawk’s Cry : Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #2 by Manda Mellett, 5 stars.

I’m going to admit this: this is not a series I would have picked for myself. The genre is not one of my top picks, but it was recommended and I thought I would give it a try. I started with the first generation and with each book I am amazed at how how good and unique each book is. As many books as have been written in this series, I am constantly amazed at how each and every character is different but still interesting and how each story is so unique. In the beginning of this book, I was screaming at the other characters that there was more going on with Hawk. I don’t usually get emotional over books, but this one made me feel so much. The struggle they go through, plus the other things going on, really make you want to keep reading until you finally get to the end. It is so much more than a simple motorcycle club romance– this book really gets you in the heart and pulls for all it’s worth.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holding Out For You by Anna Paige is the first novel I’ve had the privilege of reading by Anna Paige and I was blown away! Parts of this story was truly tragic, but also about real soul searching among a close group of friends.

Blair Martell is a freshman in college with her best friend Charli. She is very close to her brother Becker who is a few years older than her. She has always had a crush on Becker’s best friend Ashton. What happens when Ashton gives her a glimpse that maybe those feelings aren’t one sided?

Ashton Hunter has graduated from college and is looking for a job. He has decided that staying close to home is what is best for him, for a number of reasons. One night on the beach, a few beers down and a horrible situation is everything he needs to put himself out there.

I absolutely adored this book. There was a lot to it, some that might be a trigger for some readers. But I thought it the story was very well written. I loved the characters, the banter, and the town they live in. What a great story! Thank you, Anna Paige!

I loved this book! Its a fantastic brother’s best friend book. All the characters are likeable and real. I think oftentimes book characters are somewhat troubled or rebels or mean or bad. This book is different in that all the characters are good, normal people. Sure they have all had some bad stuff happen to them but they deal with it in a normal, not OTT way.

You might think that will make a somewhat boring book. It is anything but boring. There are feels, there are all the feels. The relationship between Blair and her brother Beckett is wonderful, Blair and her best friend Charli has a friendship I would like to have, Beckett and Asher has a wonderful bromance. And Blair and Asher – amazing relationship.

This is my first book by this author and I’m not sure why. This was an awesome story written in a way that made it so easy and fun to read. I loved the very beginning and the interaction between Blair and Charli and also Blair and Ash. It was what grabbed me and kept me hooked. I do wish the back and forth would have gone on a bit longer, it all seemed too quick and easy but as I kept reading I forgot all about that.

This story held everything I love, suspense, love, romance, misunderstandings, danger, edge of your seat reading, Family, and one of my favorite parts..Friendship, real genuine friendship. All I know is if this book is any indication of this author’s writing style then I will be looking up everything available.

The first date about ruined me…I sat with tears because that was so out of this world amazing. I absolutely will be recommending this book and also see myself reading this again and again in the future.

Bargaining (Hero High Book 3) by Mina Chara – Review by Angela Hayes

Bargaining (Hero High, #3)Bargaining by Mina Chara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Bargaining is the third book in the Hero High series by Mina Chara. As with the first two books, this is a Young Adult fantasy adventure story set in a near future world, Icon City, and follows Friday Fitzsimmons on her incredible adventure. This book follows on from the first two, so I highly recommend reading “Denial” (Book One) and “Anger” (Book Two) before starting on this one- so you have all the backstory, character introductions, and other important facts that you will need in order to enjoy this book to the fullest extent.
Friday still knows that she’s being watched- but since having joined the gold team the producers of the show seem to like her more. But Friday can’t help feeling like she’s not being true to herself- like a bit of a ‘sell-out’. She feels the weight of responsibility, and with things between her and Jake crumbling- she feels a little overwhelmed, like everything is falling apart. She will need to dig deep and be brave- there is even more at stake than ever before and she will need to stay strong in order to get through it all.
Another great action-paced addition to the series- with so much to hold my interest- and that ending, OMG!!!
So, if you love young adult fantasy, with mystery, adventure, and ‘superhero’ types- then this is definitely a book/series you won’t want to miss.

Thank you, Mina Chara!

All The Wrong Reasons by Erin Bevan was a good 4 star read.
We start with Alex going out with a friend to get her ex out of her mind and waking up in bed with a stranger and not remembering a thing. She sneaks out and calls her best friend Max to come and get her.

Max has been Alex’s best friend for twenty years and is considered a playboy. They have always been there for each other. He wasn’t happy about the situation that Alex was in, but she has helped him in similar situations. You can sense that there may be a slight attraction between them.

As the story moves forward, Alex gets some shocking news that could affect her job. Max also finds himself in need of cleaning up his reputation and Alex may just be the solution. Can he agree to get her to marry him? Can they keep their feelings out of it?

Overall this was a good read with humor, emotion, and so much more. I really liked the characters. I look forward to reading more from this author. If you’re looking for a fun read this is the book for you. 1-click and get started today.

Hawk's Cry (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #2)Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hawk’s Cry: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #2 by Manda Mellett caught me completely by surprise. I thought I was getting a typical MC novel, but was pleasantly surprised. This story was about Hawk, or Eli, and his struggles. Hawk is VP of the Satan’s Devils MC, married to the love of his life, and has a child on the way. But he starts having doubts, is this really what he wants out of his life or was he just bred for this? Being a spitting image of his father, the ex-president of the club, it was always assumed Hawk would follow in his father’s footsteps. Maybe citizen life is better, where he can have a life of his own. But if he leaves, he will never be able to come back.

This story was refreshing to read. Though it dealt with some heavy content, I think it is important to bring light to mental health issues that everyone deals with. Depression and panic attacks do not discriminate and many times people don’t know how to rationally cope with these issues. Hawk began doubting himself, his life, and his choices. He didn’t know if he could live up to pressure and thought the only way to fix them was to get out. This story was a wonderful read and I look forward to reading other books by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Throwback by Zeia Jameson is a slow story but also a beautiful story. Zeia gives us an honest and unforgiving look at relationship and life and expectations and the ability to really listen. I really enjoy Zeia’s storytelling as no matter what she writes she has this magical ability to get right to the heart of a matter and her writing leaves you with a very poignant way of looking at things. Being an adult with starting a new business, looking after your relationship and then becoming a mother is enough to send anyone bonkers but doing so whilst feeling alone and still having issues from your past will certainly send you around the bend. Zeia is a go to author for me and Throwback will definitely tug on those heartstrings and make our hearts soar and ache at the same time. Jeremy and Livy made me laugh and cry and were absolutely fabulous characters.

Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set) by K.G. Fletcher – Review by Jana Teppih

Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set)Southern Promises: The Complete Series by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set) is a present from K.G. Fletcher to her readers! You get all the books of the series in one go! I love when the writers do that with their series and generally when they have sets then I go for them and lose myself for hours and hours and hours … like with Southern Promises.
We have three standalone full-length contemporary romances filled with true Southern men and women with Southern Promises.
The first book is Georgia Clay that is a friends to lovers romance that gives us Katie and Clay who meet up at their ten year high school reunion. I guess we all have this one person from our youth that we feel ‘what if’ about so the writer is taking us down to one of them when bringing together a successful songwriter Clay and insurance executive Katie. In addition to Katie and Clay there are couple of more secondary characters that made the story pop even more!
The second book Georgia On My Mind is a sweet romance story that feels real as Gia and Hart feel real and you are sticking close to them while they give you a run for your money! Both of them have their own demons and secrets, both of them are easy to relate to and both of them demand you root for them! It is a great story of how you can find your dreams again and there is light at the end of a long and hard day … even when you get so overwhelmed with the daily struggle …
The third book Georgia Pine is the story of Jessica Kaufman – a mother to four young girls and just recently divorced from her hot shot cheating real estate mogul husband, and Tim McGill who is hiding out in Georgia and trying to rise like Phoenix from the ashes of his former celebrated career on the West Coast. The story was heart-warming like Southern hospitality, I loved the simplicity and yet the complexity of the feelings of the two people who feel such a strong pull under the surface so you sit at the edge of your seat and keep your fingers crossed that Tim will learn to trust and open up to these little girls their mother and that Jessica will get her happily-ever-after!
I hope there will be more books in the series as I am not ready to leave our gang yet!
