This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite. It is a sweet second chance romance that is written with lots of heart and soul. The characters are well developed and made the story feel realistic. I had no problem connecting with them and could easily see them as friends. Kally has loved and lost, now she feels she is unworthy of love until he walks into her life. Content with her business, she wonders about Max and if he is worth it all? I enjoyed watching them grow together throughout the story plus their chemistry is great. Will Kally take a risk at love again? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with them.

The only love Kally Andarakis is baking is in the form of the sweet treats she whips up in her café, The Coffee Klatch.
Kally never believed herself to be a person worthy of love, but when an intoxicating man she considered out of her league pursues her, she risks everything to be with him. Later, when tragedy strikes, truths are revealed that leave Kally brokenhearted and untrusting.
Eight years later, Kally is a successful pastry chef running the café she’d always dreamed of owning. With a home of her own, a profession she’s passionate about, and the support and love of friends and family, Kally is content with the life she has carved out for herself.
Until the day Max Vardaxis walks into her café…
With arguing parents, meddling relatives, an overly energetic grandmother, a man-crazy best friend, and the long ago, mysterious disappearance of a grandfather, this new man in town is just one more complication in Kally’s life, if not the main one.
Kally must now decide whether to keep her heart safe or to once again take a ‘whisk on love.’
Effie Kammenou is a believer that it is never too late to chase your dreams, follow your heart, or change your career. She is proof of that. At one time, long ago, she’d hoped that by her age, she would have had an Oscar in her hand after a successful career as an actor. Instead, she worked in the optical field for 40 years while raising her two daughters.
In 2015, three years after the death of her mother from pancreatic cancer, she published her debut novel, Evanthia’s Gift, book one in a women’s fiction, multigenerational love story and family saga, inspired by her mother and her Greek heritage. Kammenou continues to pick her father’s brain for stories of his family’s life in Lesvos, Greece, and their journey to America. Her interview with him was published in the nationally circulated magazine Reminisce.
Evanthia’s Gift: Book One in The Gift Saga was a 2016 finalist in the Readers Favorite Book Awards. Waiting for Aegina: Book Two in The Gift Saga was awarded finalist status in the 2019 International Book Awards and Chasing Petalouthes, the last book in the trilogy, had also placed in the Readers Favorite Book Awards for the 2018 contest.
Her latest novel, the first book in a new contemporary romance series, is now complete. Love is What You Bake of It, follows Kally’s path to independence despite her sometimes stifling family and her tumultuous road to finding love. But it wouldn’t be a Kammenou novel without a delve into the past, or the references to mouth-watering foods.
Effie Kammenou is a first-generation Greek-American who lives on Long Island with her husband and two daughters. When she’s not writing or posting recipes on her food blog, aptly named cheffieskitchen, you can find her entertaining family and friends or traveling for ‘research.’
As an avid cook and baker, a skill she learned from watching her Athenian mother, she incorporated traditional Greek family recipes throughout the books for a little extra ‘flavor.’
She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Theater Arts from Hofstra University.

Governor’s daughter Jane Anderson is used to getting what she wants. When a girls’ trip to Mardi Gras thrusts her into the arms—and fangs—of New Orleans’ hottest vampire, he gifts her with immortality, super strength, and a complexion to die for.
There’s only one tiny problem. Jane faints at the sight of blood.
When Ethan Devereaux meets Jane, his cold, lifeless heart learns to beat again. Convinced she’s his late fiancée reincarnated, he turns her, claiming her as his own. But when Jane wakes up dead in Ethan’s attic, she’s loud, obnoxious, and downright ornery. He doesn’t know if he should kiss her or stake her, but one thing’s for certain…
She is so not his long-lost love.
But Ethan turned her, so he’s stuck with her. Jane has three weeks to learn the ways of the vampire and get her license, or she’ll be staked. If Ethan can’t help her overcome her aversion to blood, his undead life might also be on the line.
Join the supes of New Orleans Nocturnes as they lighten up the darker side of the Big Easy in this fast, steamy romantic comedy.

Let me catch my breath. This book had me on the edge of my seat, standing up, yelling at the kindle and totally shocked at times. If you want a good read that gets your mind going this would be a good one. Hope Anika has created a story that gets your adrenaline going. The characters are complex and engaging. The plot line twists and turns like a roller coaster, not to mention that the action is great. There is a bank robbery that small town sheriff Beau has to catch the robbers. Enter in Wynn who has her past with law enforcement, on the wrong side but hey that makes her character work. Let’s throw in a murder into the mix and the small time is needing answers. I highly recommend this book. You will have to see what Beau and Wynn find out about what the heck is going on.

I loved this book. This is a M/M romance-suspense story that I couldn’t put down until the last page. I was pulled in right from the beginning. This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite. It is a well written developed story that has characters that bring the story to life. There are twists and turns that kept me turning the pages just waiting to see what would happen next. Aiden and Neal’s chemistry was awesome. Will they figure out their relationship before they become victims of murder? Bodies are piling up, you don’t want to miss this book. I highly recommend this must read book.
Indebted to the Vampires (The House of Durand Book 1) by Erin Bedford 4 Stars
Piper is in desperate need of a job. When the temp agency sends her on this one, she’s not too happy to be a maid but takes it anyway. The live in position will help her stop living in her car. Cleaning house for a bunch of stuck up rich folk can’t be that bad, right? Stepping into the mansion was like stepping back in time. A butler even greeted her upon arrival. Unfortunately her clumsiness got the better of her and a Qing Dynasty vase became her victim. Piper becomes indebted to not one but five drop dead gorgeous brothers who will do anything to guard their secrets.
The thing that I liked the best about this book is that it’s a slow burn reverse harem. Piper had multiple fantasies about each throughout the book but nothing really happened. The buildup of anticipation is escalating and book two should be fantastic. Piper is headstrong, stubborn and klutzy. She becomes an interesting challenge to the Durand brothers. Each brother is unique in character, I loved them all. My favourite is probably Antoine. When those two connect, it will be electric. I gobbled up the story and before I knew it, I was finished the book. It ends on a cliffhanger which sucks but now I’m anticipating book two. I need to find out what happens. This is the first book that I have read from this author and I enjoyed her writing. I will definitely be searching for more books from her. Review by @Anna Hirsch

With a serial killer on the loose, the baffling mystery of Aiden’s past, and their tenuous budding romance, Aiden and Fouchard tread through a world of magic and myth on padded shoes, terrified to stir up something neither can control or defeat.
Aiden Mercer’s life now centers around lounging on the sunny beaches of his adopted country with a beer in one hand and a coffee in the other while admiring the local male population. After a rough life as a respected detective in DC, playing it cool shouldn’t be too hard, right? With the magical community on his case and dead bodies piling up around town, the responsibility of finding their killer seems fated to fall on him and deny him of his easy living.
Then there is Naël.
Cantankerous merman Naël Fouchard’s life is focused on bringing up and protecting his little sister. When DNA found at the scene of the murders mark him as the prime suspect, Naël seeks out the help of Aiden, whose reputation as a detective grossly belies his lazy lifestyle and apparent lack of ambition.
The chemistry between the strong, stoic Naël and the easygoing Aiden is undeniable, no matter how many walls Aiden builds.
If this unlikely pair can’t come to terms with their feelings for each other long enough to catch the killer, their emotional turmoil might yet allow the murderer to kill them instead.

TK Lawyer has done it again. Serenade is a paranormal love story that keeps you wondering what will happen next. I find stories about wolves interesting because they look for their mate and will remain alone if they can not find him/her. This story is about Kingsley (a wolf) and Eva (a witch) who gave up finding their soulmate until they found each other. The problem is that wolves and witches do not mix well. Can Kingsley and Eva move beyond the barriers and have a relationship? Is there hope for Kingsley and Eva? I highly suggest this book and I cannot wait to see what TK Lawyer will come up with next.

This is the fourth book in this series and my favorite yet. I highly suggest reading the previous books in order to help understand where the characters are coming from. The characters make the story feel realistic and I had no problem connecting with them. In this book Miles is getting married to Bella. But is she ready for all that comes with marrying him? Life throws them some curveballs that could put their future in danger. This is a fast paced story that had me turning pages fast. This is a great story that I highly recommend.

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a young adult paranormal story that is engaging and a page turner. This is a well written story about having the fate of bringing peace to a world full of war while at the same time being a good student. The characters are full of magic of different degrees. What will happen when choices need to be made but those magic powers make things difficult for the main character. They bring this story to life and kept me turning pages. I highly recommend finding out what happens next.
Prophecies suck and being the “chosen one”? It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
I was happy living my simple human life, but—as a Halfling—I can only pretend to be normal for so long. I never had any interest in attending the High Fae Academy for Gifted Supernaturals, but avoidance can only get you so far.
Sure, student life isn’t all terrible. I have five sexy Fae males who all want a piece of me. The only downfall is that I have to choose between them. Not. Easy. Especially when my magic isn’t making my decision any easier. I can control all five elements, and the guys? Well… each facet of my magic draws me to a specific man—to the element’s perfect match.
According to some prophecy I’ve never even heard, I’m destined to end the war between the Light and Dark Fae. Me. A half human.
I’m about to set off on a dangerous and sexy ride that is supposed to bring peace to a war ravaged world all while maintaining a decent grade point average.

Erin Bedford is a new author to me. I love her writing style. It is full of details and characters that make the story come alive. The subject is about vampires. Piper works for a temp agency and is a maid. There is a secret among the people she works for and with, and she is trying to figure out how to keep her job. This book is not only a romance story, but a mystery as well. I recommend this story. Erin Bedford has made this story come to life in my mind while I was reading. There is a little bit of a cliffhanger but it keeps you on your toes and makes you want to read book 2 in the process.

From their wedding to a honeymoon in Paris to the beautiful streets of Italy, Bella learns that life with Miles and his stage persona are two different things. Happiness is sometimes overshadowed by doubt and outside forces that wish to tear them apart, but when she becomes pregnant months later, Bella couldn’t be more overjoyed.
Then life takes an interesting turn. Following a career triumph and a night of celebration, a house fire destroys Bella’s childhood home, and with it a closely-held secret unfolds

This is the second book in this series and I loved it just as much as the first. This is a well written romance-suspense story that I had a hard time putting down. The twists and turns left me turning pages just waiting to see what would happen next. The characters brought the story to life and kept me engaged. Gen is an attorney that takes on a case she probably should not have. The case gives her the feeling that something isn’t right and she is left fighting for her life. She goes through alot but she is such a great character that it was great watching her. I loved the chemistry between Gen and the detective. I highly recommend reading this must read story to find out what happens with Gen and her case.

Have you ever felt like you needed to be a different person for whoever you are around? This is a question that I have answered many times in my personal life. Phoebe Alexander in The Explorer about these same feelings. Her character development is extensive and complex. I felt like I could be right there with Abigail. She feels that she needs to be someone different for others, but she doesn’t know how to be Abigail when alone. She is starting college and really trying to find her true self. Gavin is starting his journey. He is starting his journey to find himself. The plot is a simple story when you get down to it, but Abigail and Gavin sure makes the pages fly by. The innocence of Abigail and Gavin makes this an enjoyable read. I highly recommend this series to find out what happens to Abigail and Gavin.

This love story is about Roy and Patience. Roy is a NHL player and he had a stalker. Now he was not able to play because of them. There was PA Patience, who helped him with his PR. All Roy wants is to play hockey. There was something innocent about Patience that peaked Roy’s interest. Can there be romance in the PA Patience and NHL Roy? Will Roy allow himself to love Patience? This is a short story but it is well written and captured my attention throughout the whole story.

So when he’s accused of murdering his wife and children, she moves to the other side of the courtroom to defend the man who believed in her when no one else would. Her inevitable victory in court feels hollow when she catches Perry sneaking off to a secret meeting with a gorgeous woman and hosting extravagant soirees at the scene of the crime.

Devils Spawn by Manda Mellett a five-star read that you will worship. This is number 6 in the Satan’s Devils MC Colorado Chapter and I would recommend you read them n order as you get the best out of it that way, they just build on each other and you get sucked into the style of writing. This one has a lot of things that will upset some, but the story is one that needs reading there was just something special about it. It is an MC story, so its gritty and racy to the raw. There is a great underlying story to this that I don’t want to get into as I don’t want to spoil the story as its one you need to read. Manda Mellett is one of those writers that will surprise you with writing that will suck you in and spit you out with a different outlook.

The Player by Jacquie Biggar a winning five-star read. I adored this story, Jacquie Biggar just pulls it out of the bag, this is number two in the Men of WarHawks series and they can be read as stand-alone as I haven’t read the first, but I will be going back to read it. This was a great red, it was funny, sassy and filled with anticipative drama and just made me smile so much. Roy was someone I warmed to, his psycho ex just pushed me to grow to like him and in the end the way he falls for a certain someone just warmed me up. Patience was someone I warmed to immediately and her family were just the icing on the cake. This is one of those stories that will warm you from the inside and make you smile.

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) By K.L. Montgomery 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery. It is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Jack and Claire. Jack’s first love has always been music. Life got in the way of him making a big splash in the music world and he finds himself teaching music. What will Jack do if he is given a second shot at his first love? Claire is sassy, strong, and independent. She has fallen for Jack. She finds Jack irresistible. What does the future hold for Jack and Claire? Will Jack’s dream finally happen? Read this book to find out. This story has lighthearted moments that made me laugh and other moments when situations would happen that made me wonder how everything was going to work out. I found myself rooting for Jack and Claire and wanted them to be happy. Other characters interact with Jack and Claire and are enjoyable to read about. This is a book that has moments that touch and warm your heart. It is a story that you don’t want to miss out on. I highly recommend it.

Madeline Fay is a new author to me and I actually decided to read the book by the cover. I am not that type of reader. I found that I needed this humor at this point. The characters are fun and interesting. The story mimics L. Frank Baum famous book series. I have a new interpretation of those great characters. The story has a humorous side from the Wicked Witch’s point of view. The adventure is waiting for you to take. The twists and turns keep the pages turning and you find some funny situations. It is a light hearted story that I love to read in these crazy times.

I loved this book. It is a great start to a new series by this author. This is a well written story that has characters that pop off the pages and into your heart. They are connectable and they easily pulled me into their story. They kept the story engaging and I love how the females are very strong and know what they want and how to get it.

You’re never too old to fall in love with a rock star. Or chase your dreams.
Every girl dreams of dating a rock star–even a girl who just turned the Big 4-0. Is it the beard? The flannel? The guitar? Claire isn’t sure, but Jack is simply irresistible.
Music was Jack’s first love. When life got in the way of him making it big as a singer/songwriter, he settled for teaching music–which included giving piano lessons to a certain stunning redhead named Claire.
He’s fallen head over heels for her–just in time for his big break to finally arrive. But do you ever really give up on your first love?

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a short story that is packed full of paranormal action. The main character is a young girl that brought the story to life for me. She finds that she has magical powers but when her father finds out he sends her away to a school. There are others like her but there are two she is determined to find out more about no matter what. Find out what happens next and pick up this book. This is a fast paced story that is engaging that kept me turning pages. A great start to a new series. I highly recommend this book.

Beautiful story. The characters were wonderful and easy to relate to and I was so drawn into this book. I love a romance centering around enemies becoming lovers, and this book does the trick to fulfill that love. The chemistry between Monroe and Julian is out is this world, their exchanges are fun and the passion is strong. I admire Monroe for being such a strong and caring woman, strong and caring enough to make sure nothing happens to her business or her employees. I wanted to dislike Julian for trying to take away Monroe’s bar but of course ended up falling in love with him, especially with Monroe. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend giving it a read!

The Bar Next Door (Barflies Book 1) by Katia Rose is a wonderful contemporary romance that I found myself getting lost in and enjoying immensely. The unique plot and character building is done well and you can’t help but fall in love with and laugh with them. It is a simplistic story but it is in it’s simplicity that makes it all the better and the story builds nicely. I also liked the way the author gave us a tidbit at the beginning of each chapter and encompassed information on the subject of wine and beer throughout the book. All in all I really enjoyed Katia’s writing style and the story is very well written and I look forward to reading more of her work.

I was a pretty normal seventeen-year-old girl, until my dad found out I had powers… He shipped off to the most famous school for powered people in the world, Hero High.
Now I have to live at the Super Structure, and let cameras follow me round every day. I never knew how many expectations we had for powered people; clothes, personalities, fake romances. It’s okay though, I’m making money for the family and besides, my best friend Jake’s with me.
This place is crazy.
There’s a guy on fire, running around, menacing the city. To make things worse there’s this weirdo in a black suit and mask.
I have to find out who they are, and what they’re doing here.
No matter the cost.
Denial is book 1 of the Hero High series, is approximately 150pages long and is set in the near future world of Icon City, a haven for powered one-percenters.
Mina Chara is a young adult looking to make a life writing fun stories that are always about something important. Mina spends most of her spare time drawing her characters and worrying. Also she has a real cute dog, and finds it weird to write about herself in the third person.

The Explorer (Mountains Series Book 6) by Phoebe Alexander gives us Abby’s story and the ups and downs of a young woman trying to find her place in the world, college, friends and sexuality. There is a lot of emotion in this story and Phoebe doesn’t shy away from the different, unusual or anything in between. She explores it all and has given something for young and older age brackets something to read and connect with and hopefully give them the confidence to open up and be able to discuss the tough topics and bring them a voice.

This is the sixth book in this series, I loved it just as much as the previous books. This book can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the entire series. This author writes with heart and her books are full of hot, steamy romance. This book is no different. It is a well written story that has well developed characters that bring the story to life. This is Abby and Gavin’s story. They both feel as if they have other people living inside them. Abby feels that everyone wants a different person. Gavin feels that no one is listening to him or even notices him, they see him as not very strong. What these two have in common with each other you will have to read this book but you don’t want to miss it. They are strong characters that I loved watching grow throughout the story. I felt bad for them in parts and joy in others. They kept me turning pages fast. I highly recommend you picking up their story.

5 stars! Awesome story. Truly emotional and heartwarming. This book is romantic and steamy yes, but it is mostly centered around the story, which I was completely obsessed with. My heart broke for Vanna, and knowing that she held out for 12 years hoping that one day her husband, Lizard, would recognize her, even if they never got back what they once had, was so beautiful and touching. I was holding out hope that she could find someone to help her with her son Cas, to guide him and be a good male role model for him. The twist in Lizard’s recovery had my mind blown, I was not expecting it and it had me crying, hoping for another twist in the story.
The story of Vanna and Lizard were my favorite parts but there was also the story of Mace and Shayla. I was devastated to learn of Shayla and little Esme’s lives leading up to their run in with the Devil’s MC. I bawled multiple times knowing what Esme had to go through. I realized I have never had a book throw so much emotions in my face but I loved every minute.
The conclusion of both stories were beautiful, heart wrenching and perfect. I read through this book so fast, I could not stop once I got sucked in. I would highly recommend this book, totally worth it.
