Broken. (Green St. Girls #2)Broken. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading Athena’s story in the first book of the Green St. Girls series, I was instantly hooked. The author did an amazing job portraying someone struggling with their past demons. This book is no different.

This time around we follow Indigo, a gamer genius who also dabbles in other software. She ran away at the age of 15 and met the other girls on Green St. Since she was the youngest, she was the most sheltered and protected of the group. Indigo was sexually abused by her step father causing her to have giant trust issues with men in particular.

In the first book we are introduced to Athena’s brother Gideon who quickly becomes friends and then roommates with Indigo. Things are different between Indigo and Gideon first thing. He is the first guy she has felt comfortable with in a long time and doesn’t want anything to risk that.

Meanwhile, Indigo created a recognition software that she is in the process of potentially leasing out to the government if things go accordingly. Someone does not want this to happen. Indigo starts receiving threats to shut it down. She lets Gideon in on the threats and he vows to protect her. It’s hard to avoid romantic feelings if you are always with each other.

The author did an amazing job once again with traumatic healing and the different feelings associated with it. I am also a victim of sexual abuse and the author described my feelings to a tee when I started becoming interested in men again. It is like they are speaking from experience (which in a way I hope they aren’t). The book feels very authentic. Indigo goes through self doubt and paranoia. Years later and her abuser is still not forgotten and still has control over her. Luckily Indigo is a strong woman who is dedicated to not letting him win. With the help of a loyal and sweet guy to show her how strong and brave she truly is.

Ladies of the Links #2Ladies of the Links #2 by Haley Rhoades
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ladies of the Links #2 is part of the Ladies of the Links Series. It is a Sports Romance story that centers around the characters of Christy and Ryan. Christy’s job as pool manger allows her to spend extra time with her twin girls. As a single mother she loves being able to work while also being able to raise her children in a safe environment. When the club gets a new member by the name of Ryan, Christy’s life suddenly becomes very complicated. There is a chance that Ryan could expose the secret that she has been hiding for years. Especially since Ryan becomes suspicious when he looks at the twin girls who not only bare striking similarities to himself, but each girl bares his namesake. He quickly realizes that this must be more than pure coincidence and suspects that he is the father to the twin girls. This was an interesting storyline and I had to continue reading to see what would happen to Christy and Ryan. I became very invested in their lives, in their backstory, and in their future. I needed answers to all the questions that came to mind. What will become of Christy if her secret is revealed? What will Ryan think of her? Will she ever be able to live down the gossip? Would Christy and Ryan rekindle whatever it was that they once had? I enjoyed how the story flowed almost as though it was written as a diary, and I was getting inside someone’s most personal thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend!

Ladies of the Links (Ladies of the Links Book 2) by Haley Rhoades is a great romance sport story.

Christy does a terrific job as the pool manager and enjoys spending time with the kids throughout the summer months to make sure that all activities are enjoyable and safe. She enjoys spending more time with her daughters because she is a single mother of twins. She receives the surprise of her life from the club’s newest member.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley, #1)A Toast for Laurent by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Toast for Laurent is a second chance romance novel that centers around the characters of Laurent and Phoebe and told by each of their POV throughout. Nearly twenty years ago Phoebe took off from Laurent’s life and broke his heart. Now she has suddenly reappeared and is expecting him to make good on a promise that he made one night nearly twenty years ago. Laurent certainly never took the promise seriously nor did he expect Phoebe to reappear and expect for the two of them to get married. Of course, he is reluctant because he no longer knows who she is or anything about her after the two went in different directions with their lives. Laurent wants to hate Phoebe for breaking his heart, but he is still intensely attracted to her. Can the two rekindle what they once had, or has too much time gone by? This was a beautifully written book with an interesting storyline and characters whose lives you become invested in. It was apparent that Phoebe and Laurent once had more than a fling and were deeply in love. I had to read through to the end to see why Phoebe took off and if the relationship between them could be rekindled. A great read that I highly recommend!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Laurent and Phoebe made a pact in college and 20 years later she comes back into his life. Laurent has been in love with Phoebe since he’s known her. Phoebe couldn’t commit and ran. She’s great at running.

Laurent hadn’t seen her in so many years and turns out they are working in the same town! She shows up unexpectedly and throws an idea around and he jumps on it. Anything to be with her, near her again.

Laurent makes her promise that she won’t fall in love with him…. but can she keep that promise? Can they find their happily ever after? I loved their story and the realness it brought. It was relatable in so many ways and her reasoning for running is not what I thought at all. You must read to find out more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gardens are places for healing and Mona has dedicated a portion of her land to young people who’ve been through some extremely traumatic experiences to come for healing. It’s a project she’s wanted to do for years and with the help of local professionals, she’s hoping that the program will become completely funded and acceptable.

When Mona gets sick and finds herself in the hospital, her business partner calls her grand daughter Holly to come be at her side. Kit isn’t impressed with Holly and wishes Mona hadn’t wanted her called. Afterall, she’s a party going, money hungry leech and Mona doesn’t need that right now.

What Kit doesn’t know is that he’s completely wrong about Holly. Will the program pass all the inspections with Mona unable to attend to the daily tasks? Can he figure out what Holly’s about and look past his previous preconceived notions?

This was a fun afternoon read! There were a few times I had to stop and look up a word, as the author is an Aussie and uses some terminology I’m not familiar with. However, it was minor and I learned some new words and spent an afternoon in a great book!

What a way for Isla Vaughn to begin Phoenix and Aspen’s story than with Cruel Start! Although this is just a short novella in the Hidden Valley Elite Series, it packs quite a punch! Isla Vaughn is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors with the way in which she weaves her stories. I feel like I am transported wherever her characters are. And speaking of characters, they are believable, relatable, and surprisingly realistic, even if a tad over the top sometimes. I couldn’t help but fall in love with the undeniable chemistry between Aspen and Phoenix. I cannot wait to see where the rest of their story goes!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Toast for Laurent by Theresa Paolo is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

A Toast for Laurent is a small town, fake relationship, second chance at romance novel. This novel is the first installment of the Vine Valley series, introducing us to the story of Laurent and Phoebe. After 20 years Phoebe is back to commit to the pact of marrying Laurent if they were both single at the age of 40. However, Laurent has moved on, Phoebe broke his heart all those years ago when she walked out and never looked back.

This is a new to me author. Theresa Paolo is known for writing novels about sassy heroines, sexy heroes, and feisty townspeople. The characters within this novel, to include the secondary characters, are relatable and well developed. Laurent was strong willed, successful, and full of life. Phoebe was insecure and selfish. I quickly found myself falling in love with Laurent and disliking Phoebe. This quickly changed as I learned the reasoning behind the shield that Phoebe held close. Paolo knows how to immediately draw her readers in and secure them for the remainder of the novel. I couldn’t put this one down, needing to know exactly what was going to happen next. I highly recommend this novel to anyone interested in the small town, second chance at love genre. I can’t wait to see what else this series has in store.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Vine Valley series and it’s a great introduction to the Grasso family. This book has 2 romance tropes a second chance as well as one of my favourites, a fake relationship.

The story was well constructed and the author’s descriptive language painted vivid images of the characters and the surrounding scenery.
The characters were also written well, their emotions were evident, especially those of Laurent towards Phoebe. I admit, to begin with I wasn’t Phoebe’s biggest fan and thought Laurent deserved better, but as the story unfolded, I came to understand the reasons behind he actions a little better and she grew on me.

I enjoyed this and I look forward to the next in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twisted Oath, by A.S. Roberts, is the first book of the series Bound by Blood and my first experience with the author. This darker style of romance had me drawn in from the very beginning. I really felt like all the story element boxes for a good, suspenseful and interesting read were checked off. The characters and plot were so brilliantly fleshed out. Serafina and Salvatore brought an intense but believable amount of chemistry and emotion to the storyline that made this very difficult to put down. If you love the mafia romance genre, this one is absolutely worth checking out. I am excited to see what comes next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Laurent and Phoebe havent seen each other in nearly 20 years when Phoebe broke Laurent’s heart. They were college best friends and now havent spoken in two decades until Phoebe comes back into Laurent’s life asking him to make good on a deal they made back in the day. Seeing Phoebe again is a whirlwind for Laurent and this quickly turned into such a captivating romance for me. I usually do not like second chance romances but this was done well. Their chemistry was clear and i adored the way Laurent quickly fell back into protecting and caring for her. Phoebe clearly changed a lot since they were kids and it was nice to see her as such a successful business woman and i also enjoyed the side story of the relationship with her sister. I did not like how back and forth she was with her feelings at times but that gave this story the edge it needed to keep me guessing how these two would end up. I really enjoyed this and all the characters were great. If this is a series i definitely will read more from it. If you want a quick, easy yet steamy second chance romance that wont leave you hating one of the MC than this is the read for you.

The story gave me all the feels that I love about sports romance….second chances, friendship, banter, secrets and sizzle. I loved the characters in this book and I was definitely rooting for Christy and Ryan.

When Christy is faced with a new member of the club she works as a pool manager..she finds she is faced with none other than Ryan, her high school sweetheart that left her broken a few years ago. Ryan never stopped loving Christy….looking for a second chance to reconnect. Will Christy’s secret tear them apart again more than ever?

For Ryan this is a second chance with the one woman he has always held in his heart and this time around he is not letting her go!

Twisted Oath (Bound By Blood Book 1) by A. S. Roberts

Twisted Oath is the first book in the series Bound By Blood . Holy Cow this Dark Romance is packed with drama, revenge, family drama and suspense plus so much more. I’ve read several books by this author and this one is by far my favorite yet. I found myself turning the pages as I had to know what was going to happen next. This is an emotional rollercoaster ride at times that had my heart breaking in some parts. The characters are developed yet raw and as real as they come. They made the story come to life and had me turning the pages till the end. This is Serafina and Salvatore’s story . These two have great chemistry between them and the story flows so smoothly. Get ready to be taken on quite the emotional journey with these two. I don’t want to give anything away by accident but I will say if you enjoy Mafia Romance then I recommend reading this book to find out what happens. I can’t wait for more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! Just wow. Twisted Oath was a wild ride. One I didn’t want to get off of. Being it’s book 1 of a new series though it gives me something to look forward to! The author created a world that I just want to get lost in. This book in particular focuses on two characters where lines get blurred. But the way the author navigated those blurred lines despite intentions worked wonderfully.
Twisted Oath is Salvatore and Serafina’s story. One born out of revenge for Salvatore, he intends on making Serafina’s father pay for what happened to his mother. What better way than to claim her as his. But what happens when it’s not just revenge anymore? Serafina is drawn to Salvatore, which could very well be her downfall. Despite the sorted history she refuses to give up.
Broken into 2 parts this book has a lot going on. Part 1 is a lot of growing up and letting go. While Part 2 is growing together.
Nothing is ever easy, and when you’re an important member of the Italian underworld it makes things a little harder. Constantly risking your life as well as others. However when someone comes for you and yours, that’s never taken lightly.
Salvatore is an amazing character that’s born out of anger. But the growth and acceptance throughout this story shows even those types of characters can be redeemed.
This author has me intrigued and looking forward to future books in this series. As well as other potential books they may have been written outside the series.

After his mother’s kidnapping, he is determined to do whatever it takes to make his way back to the top, even tarnish the reputation of others. Serafina, who is the eldest daughter of a powerful family dreams of one day becoming a doctor and helping save the lives of others. Unfortunately when things turn upside down for Serafina’s family, she must do the unthinkable to save them, taking on an arranged marriage. So many twists and turns that it keeps you wanting more. I am very eager to read more in the next installment of this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Broken is Book Two in the Green St. Girls Series. After reading the first book I immediately dove into reading this one. I became heavily invested in the Green Street Girls and was anxious to read more about them. This story centers around a character by the name of Indigo who is part of the Green Street Girls. She has worked hard to give herself a good life but all of that is threatened when she starts receiving threats for a software she is developing. Her friend, and roommate, Gideon, steps up to help Indigo and protect her from whoever has been threatening her. In doing so, he realizes that his feelings for her are stronger than just friendship. Although Indigo has allowed her wall to come down enough to form a friendship with Gideon can she truly trust him? This book was beautifully written with a storyline and characters that I became heavily invested in. Indigo is strong, smart, and ambitious but because of her past has developed trust issues. Gideon is sweet, kind, and a good friend to Indigo. He wants to love her, protect her, and be there for her. Gideon does his best to prove to Indigo that she can trust him, but will he be able to penetrate the wall she has formed to protect herself? A great read full of drama, intrigue, danger, friendships, angst, love, romance, and hope. I highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bared is Book One in the Green St. Girls Series. The story centers around a character named Athena who has had a hard time trusting anyone because of her past. She becomes a bit of a loner in a sense until she meets Tru who also has a hard time trusting anyone. The attraction between them is intense but having a relationship may be out of the question due to their trust issues. Athena makes friends with a group of girls who all have had hardships in their past. The girls call themselves the Green Street Girls and act as a support network for one another. Through tough times the girls lean on each other and help one another survive. I loved how the Green Street Girls helped one another through the hardest of struggles. Their friendship gave one another hope and a will to go on which I found endearing. I loved each one of the girls’ individual characters and felt their stories resonate with me. This book was beautifully written, and I could not help but feel an emotional connection with each of the Green Street Girls. I found myself cheering them on to find happiness, love, and a good life. I highly recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Twisted Eros lives up to its title – it is definitely a story with twists and turns. Kay is convinced to take a vacation by her sisters where she is abducted and held ‘captive’ for a month in order to completely unplug. This story is intriguing and twisted. I found it interesting to see the process of Kay detoxing from her phone and feel it is probably pretty accurate. I do feel the storyline about her sisters is not quite fleshed out – there was not quite enough information as to why their relationship was the way it was. Also, there is some mention of self-injury that could be triggering for some people. Overall, I enjoyed the mystery of why things we happening and who exactly all the players were. If you like your books a little dark and twisted, this is a good choice!

Broken by N.D. Jackson – 5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely love the character development of Indigo. The author eases you into a life Indigo has created for herself, seemingly perfect, but on closer look, it is riddled with cracks. The mental, physical, and emotional torment she experienced at the hands of someone she was supposed to be able to trust would destroy most. Then, Gideon walked into Indigo’s life. Feelings she had never felt showed their face. Emotions she did not think she could ever have were suddenly front and center.

This gem had me giggling, triggered, and purring like a cat in heat all in the same chapter! The only thing I wish the author would have included was the capture of Indigo’s tormentor and justice for his wrongdoings. But alas. All in all, this book was great!

This author is someone who really knows how to write an engaging and relatable YA story and this book is one of my favourites of hers so far. I thought Pyper was entertaining but reflective of the age she was portraying. It was so easy to imagine her in a real setting, going through the same emotions and journey.
This book was a great story and is one that will appeal to most. It was easy to read and I found myself getting swept up in the story. This book was thoroughly enjoyable to read and I would definitely recommend it.

I was drawn into Twisted Oath when I read the very first page and pleasantly surprised that it was just as engaging throughout the rest of the story! Some series can take a bit to get into, but this one is absolutely riveting. It is a dark romance with the undertones of mafia, suspense, steamy chemistry, and angst all through this read. To say the twists took me by surprise was an understatement. I enjoyed every bit of this dark and thrilling romance with Serafina and Salvatore, though you might find yourself yelling at the book like I did at points. If you enjoy dark mafia romances, go ahead and give this a chance so that when the second Bound By Blood book comes out, you’ll be ready!
