I love historical Romance, but I think this may be my first Western. I truly didn’t know how I was going to feel about this, and honestly starting the book, I had my doubts. As I began the book, it took me quite a while, longer than I like to get into the book, but let me just say, once I got into this book I was hooked. Not only was I hooked I was emotionally invested and boy did this take me on a full rollercoaster ride of emotions. I truly never thought I would have loved this book as much as I did. The only reason why I gave this 4 stars was the slower build up, bus I am so glad I stuck with it.

Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series Book 4) by Winter Austin. I have loved this series so much and I loved this book the most! It’s the story of Sheriff Shane Hamilton who has just won another election. The election was very hard and he has taken off for a quite weekend away. While he’s away his phone begins to blow up because a body has been found. Now his weekend away is gone. FBI agent Liz Bartholomew has come back to Eider, Iowa not of her own free will but because of a case. The suspect she is after has last been spotted there. She is not looking forward to running into the Sheriff but knows its inevitable. They have a history even though it didn’t end up pretty. When her case goes wonky she has to work with Shane and even though those old feelings come back she is trying to ignore them. Shane is not in the market for a relationship either but can’t help his feelings when he starts working with Liz again. Such a good mystery/romance!

This is book three in the McIntire County Series. Jolie Murdoch is the newest deputy in McIntire County. Her first job is to find a missing girl. While looking for the girl, Deputy Murdoch finds herself in front the suspect (the father of the missing child). The problem is that he is dead but he is not alone. There enters Xavier, a former marine who has a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), finds himself in some unwanted attention for the death of the missing girl’s father. However, he doesn’t remember any thing that happened before, during or after because he blacked out. It’s a lot of twist and turns in this one, but Winter Austin really has a knack for bringing all the twists and turns into an amazing story. I would like to point out, that I am reading these book out of order, I don’t recommend that you do. I should have started with book one and worked my way down but I will finish this series.

This is book four in the McIntire County Series. FBI Agent Liza Bartholomew follows the information about an elusive scam artist whom she has been looking for to Eider, Iowa. Sheriff Shane Hamilton is not very thrilled with an FBI agent in his county. Little did Shane know that this Liza would be the opening he needed in his personal life as well as his professional life. Love, anger, resentment and a little sass is throughout the story. I could not put this book down!!!!! I literally read it from Sun Up to Sun Down. It had me on my seat the entire time. There are dead bodies, fires, and a some drama from the police department. I promise you that this book is one of the many that you will not be able to put down.

Liar, Liar is book four in the McIntire County series and is a standalone story that is easy to follow without reading the previous three. I DO still recommend reading them in order if you can, for some back story and character development that (for me) makes the story so much better. This time around, we are focusing on Sheriff Shane Hamilton. After quite the year, he just wants some down time and quiet time to himself to reflect on all that has come to pass. That wish comes to an abrupt halt when his phone starts ringing nonstop and a body is found. FBI Liza Bartholomew gets word of the murder and is pulled back to Eider, Iowa…a place she thought she would never have to return to. Now the suspect she is chasing may know she is on the trail and her entire cover could be blown. It doesnt take long for the two to realize their cases are connected, and are forced to work together to find the killer before anyone else is found dead. A reluctant partnership becomes a bit more friendly, and a romance starts to bud. Liar Liar is a great addition to an already amazing storyline, and the plots keep thickening and twisting with each book. These are books you will want to read in one sitting, but be aware that not all the answers are always given! The not-so-clean endings can be frustrating but keeps you coming back for the next one.

From the moment I read the description for this book, I knew I wanted to read it. I was intrigued and wanted to find out what happened to the main character. Once I started reading, the book was just as intriguing. It is one of those books that is action packed, fast paced and exciting. I loved seeing how everything developed and I really enjoyed the connection between the two main characters. This is one of those authors that really knows how to write a great story. Each one I have read is engaged and well written. I become invested in them all. This book is just as good as I have come to expect and I would certainly recommend it.

I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately and this was the perfect book for this time of the year to pull me out of it. So much to this book that will keep you guessing and turning the pages. F/F romance giving you a look into dark perception of “love.” Can’t wait to read more by this talented author.

This is the fourth book in the Central Florida Stories series. These books can be read as standalones, but I do recommend reading the entire series as there are characters which interconnect. The author was able to portray the emotions of the characters very well, to the point you can’t help but get emotionally invested in them. The trauma that Hadley has experienced (as an example) and how this has affected her, changed her and the danger she’s in tugs at your heartstrings, you want to jump in and take the pain away. The descriptive narrative paints vivid imagery that makes you feel you could step into the world alongside the characters and experience what they do. I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Hadley and Ross, the chemistry was evident, and the progression was believable. The character development was also enjoyable and believable. This is was enjoyable read and contains doms and subs and BDSM so if this is not for you be aware of this. I’m hoping for more soon!

A contemporary romance with a twist of danger, thrills, intrigue, and so much more. Hannah Patel has been through the ringer this past year with the terrible murder of her beloved brother. She lives her life as a Public Defender, believing that every one deserves a chance. During her time in the public eye, she managed to catch the unwanted eye of a stalker, one who’s methods are progressively getting worse and worse. Enter Doyle Murphy, a man who doubts his ability to protect after a fatal incident. At least, until he sees his redemption in protecting Hannah and keeping her safe. This was a great read, and I highly suggest this for some whirlwind romance!!

This is the fourth book in the McIntire County series. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the others first. As usual the author’s writing style is great, flowing well and descriptive, creating vivid imagery of characters and scenery. There were plenty of twists and secrets in this book and I think the plot has a lot of potential to be incredible, but this was my least favourite of the series so far. This was an enjoyable story overall, but the characters are what tampered my enjoyment in this one. I really enjoy the series, but there was something about the characters that didn’t have the same realism for me. I felt for them both, and it was great that the emotion was there with their difficult pasts but as the story progressed the character interactions became less believable. Overall this was enjoyable and I look forward to more.

An enjoyable and engaging festive contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Having read and enjoyed the previous books in the series I was looking forward to returning to Marietta, Montana and ‘catching up’ with the millers, however it can also be read as a standalone story. Single Mum Riley O’Sullivan lives in Portland with her young son Dylan, she isn’t one to complain and definitely does not believe in miracles, even at Christmas. Having traveled to Marietta to spend Christmas with her family, the last thing she needs is maddening Mitch Miller coming to her rescue and surprisingly awakening her senses. Mitch moved to the small town with his two sisters having left a successful financial career behind him, but he’s definitely not looking for love, until Riley. Riley seems to captivate him like no woman ever has, of course she thinks he’s overprotective and a grinch. Meanwhile Riley is also having to deal with Dylan asking questions about Dads and what they do. Mitch thinks that both mother and son could do with a little Christmas magic, not thinking that he could be about to loose his heart to them both. Neither Riley or Mitch know that Dylan made a Christmas wish, which if it comes true will bring them all together, as a Christmas miracle! As usual the descriptive narrative brings the characters and the wonderful Marietta vividly to life, including the small town feel. The chemistry between Riley and Mitch really came across in the narrative, and I loved the relationship development between both them and Dylan. This was a perfect book to read to get into the Christmas spirit!

The Man In Black is a wild west thriller with a gay romance. It’s fun, engaging and at times gripping. We follow the young protagonist, who has named himself Simon Shaw, as he pursues his dream of joining an outlaw gang.
Simon is a wonderful protagonist. He is naive in many ways, but has a clear vision of the future he wants and who he wants to be within it. Like many queer people, he is resisting the path that is seemingly laid out for him and following the only path he can think of that allows an escape.
This story is well researched with plenty of immersive world building. It’s cinematic at times! This, along with the suspense of the mysterious murders, will draw you into a book you will struggle to put down. (But please do put it down occasionally, it’s long and you need to eat!).
This book gets five stars from me! I love LGBT+ representation in genre fiction and this is a great example.

This book is book four of the series. This is a romantic suspense novel.
Hannah is still struggling with her brother’s murder. She turns to family and work to help get her through. Doyle is doubting his future but maybe he can redeem himself. Hannah needs protection from the person that has become obsessed with her and Doyle needs to redeem himself. Neither one of them knew that their closeness would lead to more issues.
This was a good read. The books don’t need to be read in order. There was just enough suspense to suck you in and keep you waiting to finish it. The story was well written. The progression of Hannah and Doyle’s relationship was realistic. I enjoyed this book.

After twelve years of marriage, Joel announces he is leaving Bella.
‘I’d never experienced heartbreak before. I’d coasted for so long, content with what I had been given, that this all seemed like a strange dream. This wasn’t happening. Things like this didn’t happen to me. Joel was meant to be safe; it was one of the reasons I had married him. Why was he doing this to me? “I can’t do this anymore. I’m leaving you.”
Throughout the following months, Bella realizes how much she has changed and how she loss her interest in being married. She starts to resume hanging out with friends,
‘It turned out, I was still a social butterfly. Most of my evenings lately either involved Zumba, a live music event or I’d go to the pub with my friends. I’d lost this part of me for so long that I thought this bubbly, vibrant version of me didn’t exist anymore. It amazed me how I’d allowed one person to change me so much. I couldn’t even recall when I had started to lose myself. It must have been a gradual thing. Year by year, pieces of me had floated away into the abyss that had been our relationship. It made me think: had I ever been happy? Had I settled for Joel, thinking it wouldn’t get any better? Honestly, looking back now… I had.”
I could relate to Bella with this. The relationship lasted only a year, but I started to stop doing things that I enjoyed such as going to the movie theaters and going out to dinner by myself because my significant other at the time did not like to do them so I stopped. It has taken years before I started to enjoy them again, which included reading fanfiction. How one could get so invested in a relationship that they lose themselves. In a weird way, it was a relief to know that I was not the only person that has done that.
I was enjoying this book so much that when I turned the page, I was shocked to see that there would be a sequel called ‘Mr. Smooth’. I did say out aloud ‘WTF, you can’t just end it there!’
Needless to say, I am anxiously waiting to read the next part. I knew it was short, but I was unprepared just how quickly I would be reading it.

I really enjoyed this book. Con and Jessica’s romance was quick but romantic. I was concerned about how fast they were moving, but could tell Con was super into Jessica and that wasn’t going away anytime soon. When tragedy struck, my heart kind of broke a little wondering how things would play out with their future. I was confused about how Jessica’s friend Syd and Con’s brother knew each other but, it didn’t deter from the point of the book. The thoughts behind the book and the concept of the story was great. I like how this author worked, helping the homeless into this book, it flowed so nicely and really makes you think how you can help in your own area.

4 Stars Liar, Liar (The McIntire County Series Book 4) by Winter Austin
Liar, Liar is the fourth book in The McIntire County Series and is a wonderfully written Suspense Romance that will have you turning the pages till the end. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This author knocked it out of the park yet again her style of writing, attention to detail along with complex yet developed characters make for a epic story. This is a fast paced story about Shane and Liza and their determination to find the killer before it’s to late. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Liar, Liar: The McIntire County Series: #4 by Winter Austin- this was an amazing book! It’s the 4th in a series but can also stand alone. Gives enough back story on the characters that you know them, but not so much that it bogs the storyline down if you’ve read the previous books.
This one focuses on the towns sheriff, Shane, and a yet another murder mystery that happens in his small town. The characters are believable and realistic. Great world building, and I love how the author can convey and help you feel the characters frustrations and emotions while reading.
Would recommend starting from the beginning, but if you didn’t it’s still a good read!

Melt My Heart is the third book in the North Fork series by Alicia Street. This is a wonderful, heart-warming, and well-written contemporary holiday romance. As I was reading this, I realised that I knew the story because I had already read it a few years ago when it was part of the ‘Irresistible At Christmas- Pets to the Rescue’ Anthology. I’m not sorry that I have reread now though, as this as it is such a sweet story- and I’ve enjoyed it just as much this time as I did when I first read it. Melt My Heart is a touching story that highlights the healing power of love. Throw in a cute K9, two people who want nothing to do with love or romantic feelings, and set during the holidays -> and we have a winning recipe. Mixed with plenty of heart, emotion, drama, family, second chances, a little angst, finding love unexpectedly, and plenty of heartwarming details too. The characters have both been damaged by past experiences, they really deserved happiness- so I was rooting for them – completely investing in them and the outcome of their story. As expected from Ms. Street, it’s a very enjoyable read with plenty of heart. Happy Reading…

While this is the 4th book in a series, It’s the 1st book I’ve had the privilege of reading by Becky Flade. Hannah and Doyle’s story drew me in INSTANTLY. I couldn’t put this book down, no matter how much my eye protested. The way the story unfolded kept me on the edge of my seat. I was truly impressed with how knowledgeable the author was with the way law enforcement works and how smoothly it all played out. It was like watching a movie in my head. One I will definitely be “watching” again. I will also be checking out more books in this series, and highly suggest this one!

Sweet, swoon-worthy, lovable, heartwarming and wonderful story. I loved this book and already had me hooked with Reggie the rescue pup. Can two strangers who meet trying to rescue a scared pup find love when both have been hurt before?

Knowing she has sworn off love, she is focused on getting her career back on track….until she meets Caleb by chance while trying to rescue a pup. Caleb is a former Navy SEAL and now works in selling very expensive yachts for a living. Caleb was in love at one time, but that love ended up in hurt and since has sworn on being in a steady relationship. When Caleb meets Wynter….and gets to know she is a bit tough as nail on the outside, his walls start fall just a bit at a time as well as Wynter’s and her insecurities.

Good gravy Miss Daisy! I was on an emotional rollercoaster with this book. Things would go absolutely fantastic and then out of no where sucker punch to the gut, wash, rinse and repeat. Ms. Parker does an absolute fantastic job with showing the stages of grief in a healthy way. Adam and Hope are great together. They have a few bumps along the way and sometimes huge pot holes to navigate, but Hope makes sure that Adam doesn’t shut her out or shut down. She makes sure he communicates what he’s feeling. Sweet sweet Adam. I just want to wrap this man in a blanket and keep him from all hurt. Reading this book made me feel all of the feels, but it was definitely worthwhile in the end.

Almost and Forever was different. Not a bad different, but a fantastic different. The author sucks the reader into a tearjerker. This book is filled with love, turmoil, grief, understanding, loyalty, guilt, and every other feeling under the sun. You don’t always get all those in a romance. You always get some of it but not as in depth. The story that was told was sad but healing and that’s what I loved about it. Ava/Hope finds herself making a New Years wish. What she wasn’t expecting was the handsome stranger asking her what she wished for. Little did she know that in time he would become a huge life changing piece of her life. In more ways than one. Adam has been through the ringer. He lost the woman he loves. How is he expected to move forward? Ivory tried to prepare him, yet he kept turning a blind eye to reality. What was completely unexpected was coming across the unforgettable woman from New Years. He called her Hope for a reason, will he realize that? These two end up on a collision course they didn’t see coming, is it for the best? I enjoyed how the author presented the story. Even though you could figure out what was going to happen, the author kept the reader guessing on the how and when. Which made it even better. I look forward to coming across more books by this author in the future.

Parker – Review by Beverly Finnie
Looking for a sweet story to warm your heart and get you in the holiday spirit? Look no further, this story was such a fun and cute read. The author did a wonderful job of bringing this story to life with her words, i definitely had times where it all played out in front of me and I’m a sucker for a story that makes me forget I’m reading a book. Each character is well thought out and easy to connect with. The storyline was unique and intriguing. I’m so ready to see where this author takes readers next. Five stars for a book that gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings.
Romance between the heartbroken and a cute rescue pup, can’t have a cuter story than that! Between their back stories and their connection, I absolutely loved getting to know both Wynter and Caleb separately and their connection blossomed. Coming from very different backgrounds, Caleb is a local who grew up in a wealthy family and is a former Navy SEAL and Wynter is seeking a fresh start after arriving from Manhattan is reeling from her heartbroken situation. Neither is wanting to seek a special somebody but somehow they find each other. First book read in the series and eager to read more!

Chasing Cheer by Heather Schneider is available now in eBook and Physical Book ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review
Chasing Cheer is the first installment of the Magical Emerald Hollow series. Grab your mug of cocoa and a warm fuzzy blanket because this novel is going to fill you with all the warm Christmas vibes. You will want to sit on the couch sipping hot cocoa until the very end.
Chasing Cheer is a clean Christmas romance that will make you feel like you are watching a Hallmark Classic. The Characters are enjoyable and the story line will put you in the mood for the holidays. I thoroughly enjoyed Schneider’s writing style. Her novel was very descriptive and allowed me to feel as if I was on this journey with her characters. I would highly recommend this novel to anyone who likes clean romance and is ready to begin welcoming the upcoming holiday season.
Although I believe this story can be read as a stand alone, it’s the third book in the irresistible series. This read shows you that some times people listen to their brain and not their heart. After a life altering event both Brian and Amanda begin to give in to their chemistry and into what they have been avoiding for over six years. The author does a great job making you feel the emotions the characters feel. I’m anxious to read other stories by this author and in this series too.

While this book is the fourth book in a series, it absolutely can be read as a stand alone. This book focuses on additional characters in Buckeye Falls, Ohio. I have read the other books and absolutely loved them, and this book does not disappoint. Alice Snyder, sister of mayor Anthony, has moved back home. She is used to being cast in a negative role and considered a black sheep. But, the town meddling in her love life is one step too far. She decides to fake date James Gibson. James is new to town and dealing with his own problems. Alice definitely doesn’t expect their fake romance to become anything more than that, while James is hoping that it will. The story was sweet and a fun escape from reality. I recommend reading this one as well as the rest in the series!
