Beautiful Dangerous (Philly Heat series, #4)Beautiful Dangerous by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Listen I’m a sucker for a stalker story. I love books about women living though something dangerous. This author has had my attention for a while with this series and it’s just gotten better as it’s gone. Hannah and Doyle may just be my favorite characters but don’t get me wrong every ones story is amazing. They just seemed to connect with me more. This book had me guessing and second guessing, i for one love a book that isn’t spelled out from the beginning. Edge of your seat storyline with characters that draw you in and make you live inside their world. Five stars and highly highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Forgiveness, love, redemption, secrets, family and trust…..this is the story that I loved of Becky Bennett and Glen Kirby. Reckless Love gave me all the feels of a slow burn romance, learning “patient love” and I love feeling like I am part of this family with each book of the series. While this book could be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading this series from the begging to get to know the Bennett family as everyone should.

Knowing your past may haunt you, Glen Kirby is trying to make amends piecing his life back together day by day trying to get his farm back. Becky takes care of all the Bennett brothers and her father while they are all working at their family farm. Knowing how successful her cooking show is, Becky longs for simplicity in life…never knowing that around the corner Glen Kirby is there. Becky needs to start with forgiveness toward Glen and his past….but when slowly her walls come down an unexpected spark forms between them. The Bennett brothers are totally against this romance, but that does not stop Becky and Glen. Will the brothers come between Becky and Glen even though they forgave Glen for his past or will Becky and Glen defy all odds and get the HEA that they want and deserve?

I LOVED this book so much and I am already looking forward to Book 5!!! This series is fantastic.

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.

The Christmas Escape by Belinda Williams – Review by Audrie Harrington

The Christmas EscapeThe Christmas Escape by Belinda Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a lovely holiday book! The main character, Lizzie, bails out a friend and buys her nonrefundable ticket to Australia over the Christmas holiday. She doesn’t want to tell her family that she lost her job and her roommate all in one week so she decides to avoid it. She arrives in Australia and is walking along the water when she suddenly is hit in the face with a ball and meets Jaz. Jaz is a single dad of two and an ex professional surfer. They run into each other again at his coffee shop a few days later and Jaz invites Lizzie to a holiday BBQ with friends. There are sparks, but she is only there a few weeks before returning to her life. This was a sweet and clean romance. I liked meeting all of the different characters, which I imagine is what Australia is like with locals, tourists, and many travelers just staying for a short time. I spent one Christmas in California and it didn’t feel like Christmas to me since I was used to one in the PNW, so I know what Lizze is feeling since her holiday is so different from what she usually experiences in London. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

I can’t get enough of this delectable little slice of warm apple pie ! This book is autumn leaves floating on the breeze & hot apple cider warming your hands . I tend to die hard for smutty fantasy books, ngl lol but this one is entirely enchanting all on it’s own. Truly lovely writing wraps around you like soft cashmere & creates a swoony little world just for you . Becky is purely radiant with kindness & Glen sparks belief in redemption. The most gently charming love story I have ever read, & brought tears to my eyes many times … only from admiration of the soft heartedness of it . All good love stories have a touch of uncertainty, but especially great love stories have a cuddle of happily ever after . This is an especially great love story & tbh I think my expectations will never be the same. In all it’s wonderful honey coated glory, this book is the perfect thing for cozying up with & finding peace like a golden sunset before the flurry of winter. AND ! the beautiful playlist included at the end is the melty vanilla bean ice cream on top.

Beautiful dangerous is book four in the Philly Heat series. There is plenty of tense and intriguing romantic suspense with danger, mystery, drama, tons of emotion, and action. The suspense keeps you turning the pages and I got engrossed into the story until later in the evening. This is a fast paced written thriller with developed characters and a good storyline. Beautiful Dangerous can be read as a stand alone novel.

Yesterday's Over (Philly Heat series, #3)Yesterday’s Over by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yesterday’s Over by Becky Flade is the third book in the Philly Heat series, which I have really enjoyed thus far. This storyline really drew me in as all the others have because the subject matter is really up my alley. As someone who is a fan of all the Law and Orders, and Bones, I really like how this series includes cops, medical examiners, and detectives, an anthropologist, and even a supposed bad guy. In Yesterday’s Over Trudy and Ben are a made for each other pair, they are relatable, and much liked just like the other couples in the series. The tension and suspense is great. All of the books in this series are stand alone stories but some of the characters do cross over into the other books. Overall this is a clean, fast paced, well written, romantic suspense that I enjoyed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Glen Kirby is working hard for redemption. He knows he made mistakes and has been sober trying to regain trust from those he hurt for months. Glen knows Becky Bennett is not wiling to trust him, but when Becky beings to talk to him and sees the man he now is he finds himself wanting to spend more time with her.

Becky has her own cooking show on YouTube called the Farmer’s Daughter. Her life has been sheltered with helping her father, brothers and whoever happens to be on the Farm. Getting close with Glen is not part of her plans and hiding the fact that they are dating is not ideal. Becky and Glen grow closer but how can they have a future if they are hiding how they feel? What happens when they are found out, will Becky’s family support them or try to break them apart?

I felt for Glen because in some ways he comes off as tainted where the others are concerned, even though he is proving himself to be a better man every chance he gets. I really liked Becky, I thought she was relatable and was rooting for her and Glen. Another great book in this series.

This was the fourth book in the series and it did not disappoint! I highly recommend reading the series in order so you can get the full story on the characters. There is a lot of history between the characters that the story refers back to. I think this one may have been my favorite so far. The relatable plot along with the character growth was amazing. I absolutely adore Becky, like she is my favorite character in the series so I was so happy to finally get her story. I thought I knew where the story was going and I was wrong! It took me by surprise more than once as I was reading. As always I love the author’s writing style. They do a really great job at explaining the scene so that you can actually picture everything playing out. This was such a sweet romance. I cannot wait to read James’s story next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fall to Pieces by Becky Flade is book 2 in the Philly Heat series and a great addition to the series it was. Alexandra Danvers, a homicide detective, and Xavier Knight, a detective assigned to investigate Alexandra to make sure she is fit for undercover duty. So far I’ve read 3/4 of the books in this series and they have renewed my interest in romantic suspense novels. I really enjoy how much the author manages to create such realistic characters in real life situations, and keeps you hanging on her every word. This whole series are quick, clean, reads, that are hard to pull yourself away from. Although the author is new to me with this series I’ll be looking forward to finishing it and checking out her backlog.

So, this isn’t your typical good gal, good guy romantic suspense novel. A Love Restrained is book 1 in the Philly Heat Series. It’s about Kylee Parker, a Philadelphia police Officer, and Jayson Donovan, a drug dealer. She doesn’t know who or what he has become since she hasn’t seen him since she was a teen with a bad crush. There is no gray area with Kylee, so bad, is bad, and good, is good, right?! Maybe wrong?! This was a great, clean, book with solid writing, realistic characters, that I read incredibly quickly.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Is it possible to forgive someone for their past transgressions? KG Fletcher presents the fourth book in The Bennetts of Langston Falls series. Becky Bennett has found her life on the family Christmas Tree Farm and Winery has become dull. Every day she provides meals for her father, brothers, and hired hands. She had become successful on her YouTube Channel since Elyse Farrell had managed to secure promotional deals. When Glen Kirby brings her a bushel of apples, she is reminded of how he had almost killed her brother Teddy and threatened Walt with a loaded gun. However, Walt had offered to help Glen to rebuild his life and buy back his family homestead. Glen had successfully gone through rehab for his addiction, worked sunup to sundown with no complaints. However, his only friend was his black cat, Garth.

Becky sees Glen in town after she placed her Christmas flower decoration order. Glen admitted he had just come from a meeting he attended at the rehab center. He had achieved 8 months of sobriety. Becky insists on buying him a coffee house where they became better acquainted. Glen asked Becky to join him on Halloween for dinner and watch the children in their costumes. She agreed and they spent a delightful evening together. Becky makes Glen an apple pie, deciding to forgive him for his past since her family had done so as well. Walt asked Glen to check in on Becky while their father and brothers were in Nashville. Glen agreed and made baked apples to take to Becky. They spent hours just talking and playing cards. As the weekend continues, the pair spend more time together and their feelings grow. However, they both know her family wouldn’t approve of their relationship.

I felt sympathy for Glen. He really was trying to do the right thing to make his life right. He had no family, no home, and his reputation was based on his past. While the Bennetts said they forgave him, they still reverted to his past on judging his worthiness of seeing Becky. Instead of allowing her to be independent and make decisions as the adult that she was, they kept telling her that he was a bad person. My personal experience made this story relatable and I thought the irrational actions from the brothers were fueled by Samantha and Robyn since they hated Glen and were part of law enforcement. They both looked at statistics and no guarantee that he might not relapse. I automatically dislike them, despite the past books that brought them to become the wives of two of the brothers.

The question of what true forgiveness is brought into focus in this story. Can someone change their life? Once an addict will always be an addict. My opinion is that this statement is untrue. I think anyone can alter their life in a positive and negative way. And to forgive is to not hold a person’s past against them.

Beautiful Dangerous (Philly Heat series, #4)Beautiful Dangerous by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beautiful Dangerous is another addition to the Philly Heat Series, it’s Book number 4. It’s a romantic suspense novel between a public defender, Hannah, and a cop, Doyle. One thing I really appreciated was that Beautiful Dangerous was told through dual point of views so we got to hear from Hannah and Doyle which I really like. Becky Flade did an amazing job of making these characters feel real and the story felt realistic, and their chemistry was off the charts which is why the suspense, and genuine feelings, were immediate when they were forced to be together so Doyle could protect her from her stalker. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. If romantic suspense is your jam Beautiful Dangerous is one of the greats.

Faking the Fall (Buckeye Falls #4)Faking the Fall by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Faking the Fall by Libby Kay is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

I have yet to read a Libby Kay novel that I have not just adored. Faking the Fall is the fourth installment of the Buckeye Falls series. In this novel Kay introduces us to Alice and James with the “fake dating” trope. Returning to the small town of Ohio we escape reality and travel this fake journey with the two of them. However it doesn’t seem fake for long. The story line is sweet and innocent, allowing you to fall in love with both characters. I was rooting for the two of them to fall in love and find their happiness-ever-after the entire time. I’m not one to rush to pick up a fake relationship novel but this one was so much more than that. You won’t want to put this one down. I highly recommend this novel to all readers who enjoy small town romance novels with a twist.

No Amends
By: Angela Lam

This was a fantastic, yet haunting book about a car accident that definitely left many people wondering what happened. Tang is a writer, who is suffering from writer’s block, who is also seemingly keeping secrets from those around him. Most specifically, his girlfriend Layla. As the book progresses the more one is left wondering how Tang is connected to Dee and if those connections are involved in the secrets Tang is keeping from Layla.
This book really is a romantic suspense. It is fast paced and I definitely did not want to put it down. I was left engaged from the beginning of the story and was left wanting more as each and every page passed. I also loved how the further you read the more question you (well at least I did) about what actually happened in that car accident. The author knows how to craft a fantastic plot that is filled with twists and turns. I definitely recommend this one!

This is a fun and entertaining Christmas novella that was a quick read but thoroughly enjoyable. Every Christmas book I have ever read is all about winter, and snow and dark nights. I loved the fact that this one was set in Australia and the feel of it was so different. And yet, despite the beach and the sun the author really brought out the festive spirit.
I loved the characters in this book. They had a natural connection and it was lovely to watch it develop. I thought they were so well suited and I became invested in them. Although the book is quick to read, it didn’t feel like anything was missing or rushed. This is an enjoyable festive story that is worth the read.

This is the fourth book in this series which I enjoyed reading. This is a series that can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous books in the series. This will help your enjoyment of this author’s writing skills. This book is no different. This is a well written story that is full of romance and hard to put down. A small town romance where two neighbors never expected to find love in each other. Becky and Glen are great characters with steamy chemistry and have great growth throughout. They made the story easy and entertaining to read. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. A story full of romance and one you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I love myself a Libby Kay and this was no exception ! I loved the cover and the dedication left me with goosebumps and a tear in eye and I know I can be honest because there’s no judgment amongst fellows bookies 🥰📚

One of the things I appreciate and enjoy most about this series is the mention of old friends , they’re linked into each story and nobody is forgotten about 🥰 also I want a rainbow cardigan 🤣😉🌈

James , an artist from New York just needs to get away and he heads to Buckeye Falls and that’s where Max and Ginny welcome him amongst them .

He invests into the town it’s people and it’s council meetings and he also makes friends along the way and it’s at a meeting where he meets Alice as her brother is the mayor 😉
I love that she’s a librarian assistant, administrator to a degree helping her sister in law and friend and she’s highly intelligent and has more than one degree but nothing is beneath her while she finds herself and I do feel sorry for her because it’s as if the town and her family see her as the black sheep , she really is misunderstood but James sees that something in her and it lights his spark again both artistically and as a man ❣️

Max and Ginny also have some special need and that got me all googly eyed and I’m overjoyed for them at what is to come ….

I loved being back in Buckeye Falls amongst friends and family 🥰

It intrigued me to want to see more about Riley’s brothers because they have a wonderful camaraderie. The action suspense and drama held me to the story but the fantasy aspect kept me there. I was husy trying to figure out what these characters are or did and why. I really thought the talisman was an item not a person so…interesting. I eagerly look forward to more in this series.

What do you do when you lose your job two weeks before Christmas, your about to lose your apartment because your roommate is moving in with her boyfriend, your best friend’s boyfriend cheats and leaves her with a non-refundable ticket, and you don’t want to deal with your family over the holidays because of it all? Well you grab that ticket from her to help her out, and you have a Christmas getaway!!!! Well, that is what Lizzie does anyway. Christmas away in Australia is just what the doctor ordered. She can go, get away, and forget all about Christmas. And avoid her family and their judgement and questions! Right? Well maybe not… She’s checking out the beach and soaking up the sun when she’s hit in the head with a football. And just like that the whole vacation is turned upside down. Getting a black eye at the beginning of her trip was not what she had in mind! Plans shift and she ends up thinking a holiday romance might be in her cards. But can she really have a holiday fling? Loads of people do it. But can she? Jaz is a single father and has loads of baggage. Although he seems sweet and wants to get to know Lizzie, she’s worried things won’t work out the way she had planned. Invited to his Christmas get together is the last thing she expected. What will happen with her non-Christmas vacation? And what about when she goes back to her life with no job and no place to stay? Moving back with you parents is humiliating! Lizzie has her own baggage to unpack. Maybe a fling isn’t a good idea after all…. I haven’t read many Christmas themed books, but I am so glad that I grabbed this one! It was so, so good!! I LOVE watching Christmas movies and this one I could TOTALLY see on the big screen!! You can laugh, you can cry, and you can yell at the characters when they’re being stupid! If you love holiday romances, witty banter, and just an overall cute Christmas story this one is for you!! I didn’t want to put it down and now I can’t wait to read more!!

Becky and Glenn’s story is one that will have you feeling every emotion you can feel. It deals with loss, addiction, recover, heartbreak, family feud and maybe a few I missed. They both have some issues to overcome. Glen’s is a little larger. Watching them try to overcome was hard at times and at other times brought happy tears. All the Bennetts made an appearance in the book. They made the relationship a bit of challenge for them. This a beautiful story of redemption. Two souls broughr together through fire and hurt. Can they make this work for all time. You must read this story. You must read this series! It’s beautiful. It’s well-written. You won’t be sorry. Now, I’ll eagerly await Jame’s story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is really well written. It is the 8th book in the series and I decided this was the one I was going to start with. You can just start like I did or you can read the whole series. I would highly suggest reading the whole series. I am personally going to go back and read them. I feel like I wouldn’t have been as lost as I was and would have a lot more background information with the characters in this story. However, I was able to pick up on things rather quickly and my lack of knowledge didn’t hinder this books plot at all. The way the main characters grow throughout the story and the steam that they give off is amazing. It is a quick read as I couldn’t put it down. This book has everything from steam, too romance, too crazy vampires. I was highly entertained and found myself a little disappointed when the book ended. I then remembered that I get to read the other 7 books in the series. That made me happy. If you are one that like vampires and steam and mystery, this series seems to have all of that and more. You won’t be disappointed when you pick this book up to read it. Again, I would probably read the first books in the series because I feel like I would have enjoyed the book more had I had more information but it didn’t deter from the story.

Hannah Patel is living life in the shadows after he brother died, he was he rock and soul mate and now with him gone she is existing, until she discovers she has a stalker. At first it was notes and gifts but over the past few month’s it has become threatening and scary after the last note.

While in court defending her client she is assaulted by said client and is whisked into the judges chamber where she meets Lexi Danvers, a court investigator who happens to spot one of the stalkers letters. Lexi then says she will ask one of her colleagues to investigate of the books and help Hannah get to the bottom of who the stalker might be.

Detective Doyle Murphy has been asked for a favour while he is on leave from the special victim’s unit, but when he meets Hannah he is drawn in and is determined to protect her and find the culprit who is now steadily escalating there actions towards her, but when her dog walker if found dead in her house it becomes serious and needs putting a stop to.

This like the other books is a fast paced brilliantly written thriller, with well developed characters and a great storyline. There are some crossover with characters from previous books but that is more to do with friendships and relationships than the story itself, so this can be read as a stand alone book. Although I would highly recommend reading the other stories.

The character of Hannah like all of the authors main female characters is a strong, determined woman who want s to fight and survive rather than shy away and become a weak, shaking female like many stories portray and although Doyle’s character is a dominate Alpha male the author shows his more venerable side with his metal health and inner demons.

This story like the other is thrilling and draws you into the fast paced writing, and had me guessing for most of the book regarding the bad person. I hope you carry on with this series and can’t wait to read more in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Christmas Escape by Belinda Williams is a contemporary romance story. Belinda has written a story that is fun and interesting. It is a quick read and before you know it the story is over.
I have read a few of Belinda’s books and really liked them and this one is no different. This fun rom com is full of sassiness, fun, humour, a speck of naughtiness, a little angst, a bit of drama and a lot of passion and flying sparks.
It is entertaining and well written, and the characters are really well developed, endearing, and fun and you cannot help but like. I am an Aussie so it stands to reason that I would enjoy it. I loved their wit, banter, chemistry, and the perfect amount of push pull as they learn more about each other. I often found myself laughing at their antics or situations they found themselves in.
There is something magical about a tale that is set at Christmas time.
It’s a great book to escape from the drudgery of normal life for a while with a glass of wine.
I look forward to what comes next.
