I didn’t really have any expectations from this book when I started it and I was pleasantly surprised at the great word building and characters I discovered. This is an author who is still fairly new to me but if all of her books are like this then I can’t wait to read more. The characters were complex and had depth to them. They complemented the story line really well and I connected with them easily. This story was engaging and developed well throughout the book. From the description I thought it might be a little confusing but it was easy to follow, even with a lot going on. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am looking forward to the next.
Having read and enjoyed book one I was looking forward to being back in McIntire County, and I was just as gripped with this story as I was with the previous one. I would personally recommend reading these in order as the characters do crossover. This storyline concentrates on Deputy Cassy Rivers who is left with the scars from barely escaping a harrowing experience. She is now working in rural Eider, Iowa and is investigating a series of random robberies which results in the brutal death of a fellow officer. Unfortunately the man she must work with and trust is the one who broke her heart, FBI agent Boyce Hunt, however the pair must now work together to capture the modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Boyce left Cassy to protect her from his mother’s criminal enterprise and the blackmail and manipulation that he faces, but working together they can’t deny their mutual attraction. This romantic suspense had me hooked throughout. The characters and the setting were brought to life by the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the storyline. I liked ‘catching up’ with previous characters, as well as meeting the new main characters, Cassy and Boyce who’s chemistry really came across in the narrative. An enjoyable and engaging read, and I look forward to book three.

I enjoyed reading this fantasy romance story. This is a story where the author used her writing skills as well as her attention to details to make the characters pop. She has created a story that feels realistic and hopes that the characters get happily ever after. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. Isabel and Henrique are great characters that I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry throughout the story. I enjoyed how they pulled me into their adventure and kept me engaged to the end. This is a story that has a little bit of everything in it from romance to twists and turns that you don’t want to miss. I really enjoyed this story and I think you will too. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed reading this steamy fantasy romance story. This is one of my favorites by this author and I look forward to seeing what is next in this series. This is a well written story that reminded me of a fairytale. The only difference is that the Lady is rescuing her prince. This is a story of love, survival and how far you go to rescue your love. I enjoyed the characters and what they brought to the story. They are strong, relatable characters that have great growth and chemistry throughout the story. They add spice and heat to a story that is full of dark magic. Don’t miss if this Lady is able to rescue the prince. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story that I found to be engaging to the end. It is easy and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.
Oh my goodness! I loved it. This is one of the best in the series. Henrique and Isable, what a pair. The adventures and journey. The story is great. I found the characters to be well-written and quite enjoyable. Another wonderful read from this author.

This is the 3rd book in the Balefire Series. These books can be read as a standalone read as each book mainly focuses on one couple, however there are characters that show up from previous books so I personally feel its better to read them in order. The author does such a great job with the characters in these books. The rock star romances are full of passion, chemistry and steamy moments but one of the things i love is that the author writes both the male and female characters as strong fiesty people which only intensifies the chemistry. This is a second chance romance between Dakota and Annabelle. After a very passionate night together Annabelle disappears. Which suited Dakota just fine after all as a member of a successful band most encounters with women are a 1 time thing. However something about Annebelle was different which he realises when he can’t stop thinking about her. Fast forward and they meet again at their friends wedding. The spark and chemistry between them is still there and Dakota is determined that this time he won’t let her escape. Annabelle on the other hand has other ideas. She is trying to progress her career and as an intern with the band she has the chance to do just that. But she wants to do it on her own not on a reputation of sleeping her way up the ladder. No matter how hot Dakota is, no matter how amazing and consuming their chemistry is Annabelle knows she can’t give in to Dakota without risking her goals. But what happens when that pull can’t be denied. Can Annabelle have her job and the man she wants? How far will Dakota go to make sure that this time she doesn’t escape him. This is a gripping romance as their relationship grows and develops but with additional forces working against them do they have any hope of being together?

This is such a fun and interesting world. Arryn is a strong woman, stronger than she thinks, I love that she stands up to Rowan. But Rowan also treats her well and realizes he’s slowly falling for her. I felt so terrible for Rowan’s brother especially for the reason he ends up in his state. I like how Arryn’s eyes are opened being in the Lands Below. Although a different climate, look and feel, she feels freer than she does back at her home in the Worlds Above. The king of the Lands Below is a sneaky one, and I was very happy with how everything played out, especially with her mess of a prince.
I enjoyed the story of Rowan and Aryan. This was such a good fantasy story. It did a terrific job of world building. The whole thing of building better world among monsters is a good idea. I found that the writing is such that you are engaged right from the beginning. The characters are so well-developed that you are totally invested. It’s an excellent book and I want to read more.
This is the second book in The Crowned Hearts Series. Ok so the first book was great but this one was even better in my opinion. Lev and Daphne hate each other and sparks always fly when they are around each other. This book is exactly what people mean when they say there is a thin line between love and hate. There are twists and turns throughout the story that always kept me turning the pages.

This is book 5 in the Hidden Valley Elite Series. I am so in love with this whole series. This is the first part of Phoenix and Aspen’s story. Now in college things are a little different for Phoenix as he tries to navigate classes and football. Then once Aspen discovers that she is pregnant they are both left struggling to figure out how this is all going to work. I could not put this book down and I am on pins and needles waiting for the second part of their story.

Katie and Chase were high school sweethearts and seemed destined to be together forever. However, after graduating high school they ended up splitting up, and Katie went to the big city to follow her dreams. Chase did eventually leave himself, but went back to be closer to his brother. When his brother and sister-in-law tragically perished in an accident he became the guardian of his nephew. Now a decade has passed by and Chase’s cousin is getting married. He and Katie are about to be thrown together by his match making cousin and the results could either be disaterous, or turn into a reconciliation. The lead characters in this book were very likeable, and the narrators did an amazing job bringing them to life. I do wish the story had been a bit longer, but I was very happy with how everything turned out for Chase and Katie. This was definitely worth the listen.

Omg how adorable!! Such a great story! It’s not a long book, but that’s what makes it perfect. It’s like a movie. Romance in a little town with an adorable family setting, and the perfect little kid to round out the story. Read this book if you like happily ever afters, kindness, joy, and small towns.

Over her shoulder, Vanessa viewed The Academy for Young Ladies fading in the distance behind the carriage. Turning forward with a sigh of relief, she relaxed. She could hardly wait to catch her first glimpse of Hill House again.
Upon her arrival, she never expected to have her guardian residing in her home. If she considered him at all, she imagined him in the background, guarding her interest from afar as he had in the past. Nor did she expect to find her aunt by marriage apparently in charge of the household. Adding to her dismay, her aunt’s relatives were dwelling in Hill House as well.
Most disturbing of all, Vanessa found signs of a ghost dwelling in the house too, filling her with unease and dread.

COVER REVEAL ´¨`*•.¸¸♥ The Earl, Her Reluctant Guardian by Wareeze Woodson
For fans of ACOTAR and The Bridge Kingdom, this romantic fantasy about a noblewoman who falls into a forbidden world and the dangerous outcast who can save her is a page-turning adventure!
Rowan Undervale is nobody’s hero.
With dark magic that’s made him an outcast, Rowan cares for one person and one person only: his brother Phaedron. When a monster from the Worlds Above attacks his brother, Rowan manages to save Phaedron’s life. But when that first monster is followed by a second, this time a woman looking for her prince, Rowan is ready to hand the lady over to the king and be done with monsters forever.
But his brother asks for a favor… so Rowan promises to look after the woman, at least until he can get her back to the Worlds Above. Rowan is certain he’ll be able to find a hole in the barrier between their worlds.
But will he be able to let her go?
Lady Arryn came to the land of monsters to rescue her prince.
It’s what any lady would do for the man she’d been raised to marry. Besides, rescuing the prince might finally be enough to force the king to agree to the marriage her parents have been trying to arrange for her entire life.
But the frozen Lands Below are nothing like Arryn expected. And Rowan, the brilliant and bitter sentry who is now her only hope of finding her prince or returning to the Worlds Above, possesses strange, horrific magic. What’s worse, he treats her far more like an equal than like a lady.
And the most terrifying part is, she’s starting to like him. Snarky and steamy, Heart’s Rescue is an enemies-to-lovers adventure with dual point-of-view (his and hers). The first in a series of connected stand-alone novels, this sweeping tale of love, survival, and discovery ends with a hard-won Happily Ever After and is perfect for readers looking for a sprinkle of spice in their next swoon-worthy, passionate romantasy.
Raised by wolves in the mountains of Colorado, Meredith Hart traveled the world to seek her fortune, fell in love with a half-elf ranger, and now lives in a cabin deep in the Maine woods where she writes steamy fantasy romance with snarky, reluctant heroes and the warrior women who love them.
She also writes mythology-inspired paranormal romance under the pen name Samantha MacLeod, and she has occasionally been known to pen a poem or two. Sometimes they even make it into her books.
Portugal, 1873 A prudish princess on a mission… Princess Isabel de Orleans would do anything for Portugal. When her brother, the king, asks for her help, she agrees to travel to Spain to defuse a diplomatic crisis. A beloved rake as a babysitter… Henrique, Viscount Penafiel, has no roots. He prepares to sail to greener pastures when his best friend blackmails him into accompanying the princess to an aristocratic-filled seaside resort. Passion versus patriotism… With his wit and ever-present grin, Henrique delights in showing how Isabel’s morals are outdated. Isabel abhors philandering but is entranced by the caring man hidden below a devil-may-care attitude. The sister of Henrique’s best friend should be high on a pedestal, safe from his lust. But by demolishing his ideas, she crumbles the height separating them. A Bourbon with ulterior motives… Alfonso is a king sans a throne. When the Bourbon’s meteoric interest in Isabel threatens Portugal’s independence, Henrique has to take drastic measures to save his country and Isabel’s love.
Stories are the very fabric of life. I want to transport readers to exotic settings, where they can find romance and happy endings and hopefully bring some back to their daily lives. Portugal brims with beauty and passion, and I research every tiny detail of my novels, hoping to make the reader treasure my grandparents’ country as I do. I have a loving husband who still is my hero and two amazing kids. When it’s cold and rainy, I run inside to read and watch movies under blankets, sipping wine. You can find me on the beach during summer, surfing with my family.

Laughter is the best medicine. I make sure to always deliver the fun and crazy while hiding my pain behind it. It’s who I am and what I do. I also work my butt off for the Grimm Wolves MC brothers, trying to prove myself as more than just a prospect. But even the toughest of the tough need to let loose every now and then. I know that more than anyone after the world of hurt I’ve experienced.
CELEE
A chance encounter in a chat room just may be the saving grace I’ve needed all along. My father’s enemies are closing in, and my time just might be running out. Thank God Dingo and his brothers will do anything to keep me safe–even if it means going up against the most vile of criminals around. But the more Dingo tries to protect me, the more I know he’s hurting too.
Can two fractured hearts find a way to heal together?
This was a quick read and i enjoyed it. It was a aweet clean romance that i spend my afternoon listening to. The narrators are great! They worked well together and i enjoyed the alternating povs. Chase and Kate were high school sweethearts and things between them didn’t end on the best of terms. Years after they parted ways they’re pushed together as each others plus ones at a friends wedding. Even though its been years, there is still tension and hurt feelings between them but when they start to look closer, that also realise there is still love there too. I enjoyed this book even though it was a clean(er) romance than i normally read. I thought the author did a great job with this story and the narrators did an great job bringing this story to life. I will be listening to more by this author in the future! Happy Listening!

I enjoyed listening to this book and found it a more wholesome and refreshing story line. I liked the fact that it didn’t have an in depth sex scene as those make me uncomfortable. But I do enjoy a good love story and this one was one I could picture being the next Hallmark movie. I found the characters to be endearing and loved how important family was to the main characters. One of the best parts was when Katie finally realized what was most important to her and she stood up for herself against her BFH. Well written, and quite enjoyable!

Cruel Hate by Isla Vaugn is available now in eBook and Physical Book ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review
Cruel Hate is the fifth installment of the Hidden Valley Elite series. Isla Vaughn writes romance novels full of complex characters, strong alpha males, and fierce women. The story of Aspen and Phoenix is exactly that. Aspen is level headed, deals with no nonsense and knows exactly what she needs to do in life to deal with an unexpected pregnancy. Phoenix is a jock, falling behind in school, dealing with family drama, and trying to figure out how he can financially support a newborn. Will the two of them be able to work out their differences for the sake of a baby?
This was a very short, 189 page, quick read full of drama, steam, and what the heck kind of moments. I have a love/hate relationship with these characters. Depending on the moment, I am rooting for one over the other. The end leaves you with a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to get my hands on Cruel love. The name alone gives me hope that my love/hate relationship will take a turn. I highly recommend reading this ENTIRE series. Isla Vaughn is a wonderful author who knows how to draw her reader in leaving you craving more at the end EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

Cruel Start by Isla Vaughn is available now in eBook ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review
Cruel Start introduces us to the story of Phoenix and Aspen. This prequel is a super quick read full of hot, intense, chemistry between these two characters. I have never read a book by Vaughn that I did not like, and this one just made my skin crawl. I am super excited to read Aspen and Phoenix’s duet. If you are passionate about enemies to lovers, college romance novels you will NOT want to miss this one.
This is an author that I have enjoyed reading and listening to from the first book. I enjoy how the narrator uses different tones of voice to change characters. I also enjoyed how they made the book come to life. I found this to be an engaging story that is shorter but packs a punch. A story where two people have great chemistry but life gets in the way. Will these two figure out things and be able to have a life together? Katie and Chase’s chemistry and growth is off the charts and you don’t want to miss their story. I really enjoyed listening to this story and I highly recommend it.

Everybody needs a second Chance, even Katie and Chase. This is their story. Katie’s hard working and enjoys her job. But with her friend getting married, she journeyed home. It was great to see her mom and sister, even though it was a short visit she planned to make the best of it. Chase lost his brother in an accident, and was left with raising his nephew. His whole world was his love for his nephew, and was raising him to be the best he could be. After being set up for the wedding of their friend, they both found themselves forced to be together. Were they really hating it? Can Chase and Katie work through the hurt they both suffered? I admire this author! This story is all about her second Chance romance and is fun and enjoyable to listen too. Her books are always filled with unforgettable sweet romance. This is just the beginning of her newest series and I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.

This is the first book in The Crowned Hearts Series. This was such a great story. On the surface this book may seem like just another fun steamy romance, but in reality there are so many things going on in this book. There are so many things that Fyn and Bridget have to overcome if there is even a chance for them. Their chemistry is hot enough to singe the pages of the book.

This book is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone. However, each of these books are fantastic and I would highly recommend reading them all. The connection between the main characters is undeniable. Their chemistry is evident right from the start and it only seems to grow in strength as the book goes on. There seems to be so much standing in their way, themselves included, that it is hard at times to see how they might get their happy ending. The story itself is just as good as the others. I was pulled into it straight away and couldn’t wait to see how things would play out. This has been a really strong series overall and I can’t wait to see what is in store for the next book.

Cassy has been through hell the past few years, the trauma of her abduction by a madman but when she is sent to cover a spate of robberies and a murder the last person she expected to see is the only one she has to protect her heart from or she will spiral further into her head.
Boyce Hunt left the woman he loved to protect her but her can’t explain that to her, seeing her two years ago and by abducted and tortured was nearly the breaking of him. Although an FBI agent he has a past of criminality and destruction that he hopes does not taint him any further, sent to help on a case of robberies and death he know walking back in Eider will match him the one person he does not want to hurt anymore.
Can they work together without both of them getting attached and do there job or will they come crashing down again?
This is the second book in the series and follows the other River’s Sister Cassy. Cassy first shows up in the first book Atonement, when Agent Hunt agrees you find the dynamic between them is frosty but there is always hint of them thawing as the story went on. Now in this book it delves deeper into the relationship and the hidden past of Hunt and the totally devastation him leaving caused Cassy which is brilliant to read.
I would say that this book can be read as a stand alone but I would definitely read the books in order as in the first book you understand the nature of why Cassy is so traumatise by that event and how Boyce and her rekindled the relationship. This book is full of thrilling turns and twists and as you follow with the investigation you slow uncover the clues as they do.
I love that Boyce is just as vulnerable as Cassy as in the first story you did not get to see the full extent of his character and this delves more into his history and past and how this has shaped him to be how he is and what he has done to protect the ones he loves.
If you are looking for a fast pace, murder, mayhem with suspense, violence and action this is the book for you and if you have not read the first book in this series I suggest you do and Can’t wait for the next instalment.
