A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley Book 1) by Theresa Paolo – Review by Felicia Bates

A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley, #1)A Toast for Laurent by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I picked up A Toast for Laurent based on the synopsis and was expecting a fun read for vacation. I wasn’t expecting to connect with with female main character the way I did. While there were times I was so frustrated by her actions, her fears were completely relatable, especially with a fairly recent loss of my mother. I don’t want to get too in depth in my review in fear of spoiling anything. This book really kept my attention and pulled at my heart strings. The chemistry and friendship within had me smiling way more than I could keep track.

I am loving this series! We learned a bit about how Zara and Noah met but now we get to know the inner details and what really happened and why.

These 2 just were an explosion waiting to happen but also Zara brought in her insecurities of never having been in a relationship and what happens if you get hurt. But Noah was perfect and was exactly what she needed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Phoebe comes back to town to make good on a pact she made years ago which ends up with Laurent going into a fake relationship to help her out. As soon as you read that you know things are going to get interesting for sure. I have to say I loved Laurent right from the start. With Phoebe it took a little bit longer but I got there eventually. I think it was because she broke his heart when they were younger that I got protective right from the start. It’s crazy I know but that’s me I guess. LOL I have to say I love romances set in small towns where everyone knows everyone and this really was a fun one that had me turning page after page with plenty of giggles thrown in! It’s a fantastic start to the series and I am really looking forward to reading more from this wonderful author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Phoebe left town almost 20 years go, breaking her best friend’s heart in the process. Laurent was angry and lost…and now he’s shocked when Phoebe shows up in is vineyard’s tasting room. She wants to cash in on a promise they made to each other when they were younger…but he doesn’t know if he can trust her not to run again. So, when he agrees to pretend for Phoebe, he does so with his heart guarded…but the chemistry that these two share (even after all those years) is off the charts. Will they be able to just pretend and walk away? Or do their feelings run deep and true?

It took a while for me to warm up to Phoebe’s character…but I eventually go there. She has been through a lot and has quite the stepmother to deal with (and the lack for her father’s support). Laurent is a sweet man that has a protective streak when it comes to Phoebe. The supporting characters added to the story and I am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Overall I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one in the series. Athena has overcome something really traumatic and has turned and made something of herself. All that was left is letting someone new get close to her. I struggled with the pacing throughout the book, at times it would get going at a great pace, others it seemed to move really slow, and then others things moved extremely fast.

When Holly’s life changes when she returns to her grandmother’s house to care for her, Holly dwells on a colleague’s murder and her upbringing. She is forced into helping with one of her grandma’s projects (gardening with at-risk kids) and gets more than she bargained for working alongside Kit, whom we find out later had an abusive upbringing, akin to the kids they are working with. You have to read to find out if their friendship blossoms like the garden they are creating, or does Holly storm off when Nana is better?

The interactions between Kit and Holly, Kit and the kids, and Holly and Nana are realistic and make this a worthwhile read.

This is one of those books that turned out to be so much more than I was expecting. It was such an emotional journey for both Holly and Kit. Even though they are fictional characters, their stories felt inspiring and captivating. The author did such a good job of making them relatable and believable. It was fascinating to watch them develop as the book went on.
This author is still a pretty new author to me and I have enjoyed so far getting familiar with her writing style. The stories are easy to connect with and so emotional. I loved this book from the moment I started reading and I cannot wait to discover what else she has to offer.

Indigo is a genius who has had a troubled life but has taken everything she can to create a life she only dreamed of. When she begins to get threats for a software she is developing it drums up old memories that still haunt her. She has her girls by her side but now she has Gideon.

Gideon is living with Indigo but strictly as friends. His feelings for the brilliant woman is growing with each day. He steps up when she needs protecting, he realizes there is more to Indigo then he thought. He wants Indigo to trust him, he wants to be her everything if she can drop the erected walls and let him in. Can Indigo trust Gideon not to trust him or will she bury her head in the sand and lose everything?

I liked this one quite a bit. It is fast paced, action packed. I enjoyed all the characters and am looking forward to reding the next book. I thought Indigo was fascinating, you are hoping she takes a chance with Gideon and understand why she is hesitant. I thought that the way the emotions are detailed in the story really pulled you in. Wonderful read.

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite #4)Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

Brutal Nights is the fourth installment within the Hidden Valley Elite series. Brutal Days ended Damon and Sky’s story on a cliffhanger. Brutal Nights picks up right where we left off to tell the remainder of their story. Full of secrets, lies, and sacrifices this installment puts us through all the emotions. Vaughn is known to write about complex characters, strong alpha males, and fierce women. This installment revolved around each and everyone of those. I loved the characters within this duet. In the first two books I did not like Damon’s character but he has grown on me this time around. I found myself rooting for the two of them the entire way. I can’t wait to see what else this series has to offer. I highly recommend this series to anyone who reads romance and enjoys a little suspense. Don’t waste any time, pick up this series right away!

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite #4)Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book took me through it. It is the continuation of Sky and Damon’s story and you won’t be disappointed with it at all. I love the angst that is Brough forth in this book. It has some amazing character development. I really thought that Damon had growth before but this book makes him turn into something amazing. He digs deep to figure out what he wants and how to get it. He has pure determination to go full steam ahead. Sky is trying to do what she thinks is right and almost makes herself a verbal punching bag for Gia. It is crazy. However, that said, if she didn’t do this, I don’t think the book would be nearly as good as it was. Yes, I got frustrated because, seriously, she didn’t need to be a doormat and stay away from Damon. However, that brought on a layer of tension and angst that I didn’t know I needed. The push and pull of these two make this book a page turner. It was such a quick read because I couldn’t put it down. It has everything that you have come to expect from this author in her stories, the passion, angst, character growth, being able to keep up with other characters in the earlier books, etc. If you haven’t started reading this series yet, you must it is amazing and you will be entertained for hours on end because, you will want to keep reading all the books in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite Book 4) by Isla Vaughn. This is a amazing close to Damon & Skylar’s story. I really believe you need to read their first book to better understand what’s going on. When they finally take their relationship to the next level they are caught by Skylar’s mom and Gia. Naturally there is a major fallout over it. Gia is so mean to Skylar after this, calling her names, hanging with her other friends and just ignoring Skylar. They even wear #teamGia t-shirts. Its miserable for Skylar. Damon takes up for Skylar as much as he can and turns into a really sweet guy. On top of all her friend/school drama Skylar knows her mom is up to something but she can’t figure out what. Damon grows so much in this book and he finally catches up to Skylar maturity wise. Such a wonderful ending to the series and being a young adult series I never dreamed I would be so invested but I sure was. I didn’t want it to end.

Grand Slam (Ground Rule Book 3)Grand Slam by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not only do I love Bree Kraemer but also the premise that made me laugh at how cute it is that I had to get it.

Heath Bailey is a professional baseball player with a lot of loving friends and family. His team also won a championship. The only thing he does not have is the attention of the girl that he likes.

In his efforts to see her, he adopts a dog from the local shelter.

Grace Dyer, the woman that Heath is trying to get the attention of, was not a big fan of him when they first met. She helped organize an event at the animal shelter and thought Heath to be cocky and arrogant. Seeing him again, her view on him has changed but she doesn’t believe that a relationship between them would work.

With this hilarious premise, how could I not read it? I knew I was going to be in for a treat and I was not disappointed. The meddling family aspect was great and the relationship between Grace and Heath just made me swoon.

This part of a sports romance series. I do not read this series much, though I do enjoy them whenever I do. Books do not have to be read in order, however, after reading this, I plan on reading the previous books.

Planting Hope is a gripping story of love, loss, hope and compassion. This is the story of Holly Cooper, a nurse who during a horrific event at work loses her close friend. She is determined to go through life, deciding to go back to her profession of nursing in a hospital or continuing her current path of working at a music festival.
When her grandmother falls ill, Holly abandons the festival, to help Kit Silverton on his therapeutic gardening research project where Mona was his nurse.
This story is well-written and the characters draw you in. I have read other books by Jennifer Raines and this was by far my favorite.
Will Holly get over her demons while Kit fights with his? Find out when you read this eloquent novel.

Contemporary sports romance
This is book 9 in The Playmakers Series and is slow burn. I struggled to connect with Wyatt at first but he did end up redeeming himself. Serena was a great character and fished out some much deserved home truths. I enjoyed this addition to the series and as always the writing is well done. Recommend.

When I was laughing out aloud before I had even finished the first page I just knew I was going to like this book but I absolutely LOVED it! I was definitely chuckling along with the author as her wonderful main characters Annie and Craig, took us on their path to love. It truly was such a fun read. So much so that I just couldn’t put it down until it was all finished. I have come across this series at book 2 so I will now be going back and reading book 1 for sure, while I not so patiently wait for book 3!! If like me you haven’t read book 1 don’t worry you can absolutely read this book and thoroughly enjoy it but I am betting once you do you’ll want more just like me and you’ll back track too. This very talented author definitely has a new fan in me!

Teenage romance
This is a clean YA romance that centres around Pyper, a high school student with a lot of advice to give. She quickly learns that maybe she needs to be willing to take advice too. Navigating these teenage years can be brutal and the author presents a very realistic picture. This will appeal to a wide YA audience. Recommend.

Sage Advice by Cori Cooper is a YA story with humour, emotion, teen angst & drama, self-discovery, friendship, family, clean romance, first love, growing up, message/lessons, learning that you don’t need to ‘know everything’, and it’s ok to not have all the answers.
As I have mentioned before, Ms. Cooper is a talented storyteller who has the ability to create such wonderful characters and really interesting plots that have a deeper meaning, which to me, is a true testament to her writing skills. She never fails to draw me into her world, keeping me engrossed the whole way through.
As expected, this is a sweet story that mixed some poignant ‘lessons’ and issues with some fun and a little emotion.
Another enjoyable read from her. Looking forward to more from Ms. Cooper!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cori Cooper!

This book had me hook line and sinker from the very beginning! I was so enthralled with it, which made it the perfect distraction while I waited on my husband to get out of surgery. I absolutely loved Athena’s tenacity, and honestly, I think my favorite character was Tru’s mom in the beginning. Athena’s growth throughout the book was something I applaud the author for. This is the first book I’ve ever read by this author, and I absolutely loved it! I read it on Kindle, but good lord I know I’m going to end up purchasing the physical copy as well. This book is phenomenal, and I’m so excited to get started on book 2!!!

Planting Hope by Jennifer Raines is a wonderful women’s fiction story with a contemporary romance, dealing with trauma, garden therapy, a research project with a difference, chemistry, quirky characters, passion blooms, family, friendship, connection, drama, the healing power of love, finding love unexpectedly, and hope.
This is a sweet story that has a real heart and soul to it. With plenty of emotion that tugged at my heartstrings. Holly and Kit aren’t your ‘typical’ romance leading characters, but their story is definitely romantic and heart-warming- and they’re just perfect for each other. I love seeing what Ms. Raines brings to the table with every new release, and I think this book might just be her ‘best-yet’!
Looking forward to what she does next.
Happy to recommend this as it is well worth the read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Guarding the Crease is the ninth book in The Playmakers series by G.K. Brady. It is a contemporary sports (hockey) romance with opposites attract, drama, angst, family, friendship, teammates, banter, humour, emotion, sweet details, character growth and development, and finding love unexpectedly.
I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy this book to begin with because from what I thought I remembered of Wyatt from previous books, I hadn’t particularly liked him- so I was worried that I would hate him and his book. But, surprisingly, he won me over.
This is a bit of a slow-burn story that I had a little trouble settling into to begin with. I found parts felt like they were too slow, and made the story feel like it was lagging/dragging. But once I found ‘my groove’ and the pace picked up a bit, I enjoyed the ride. I have missed a few books in this series between this the last instalment I had read, so I might need to go back and catch up before continuing with any new additions.

Thank you, G.K. Brady!

These elinefae are not like the others….

Elan and Arwyn are Watchers, guardians of their clan and brothers-in-arms.

Along with their other best friend, Pryderi, they pledged an oath long ago not to get romantically involved with one another. Their bond meant more than a brief tumble in the Den of Sin. They will not allow history to repeat itself and destroy everything they hold dear.

But when Pryderi comes back from his honeymoon with his soul-matched mate, something shifts. An unsettling distance wedges itself into their lives.

And when an exotic new male comes into their encampment, things are set to change even more.

Will they be torn further apart? Or is destiny creating their HEA?

An all-male triad could be on the tarot cards in this enticing fantasy tale of love and adventure. Grab it now.

NB This book is honestly a standalone novel. So, don’t worry if you’ve not read the award-winning Darkness & Light Duology. I mean, feel free to. You just don’t have to.

Definitely contains mature scenes. And frankly, some immature ones too.

There is some violence. And an elinefaenapping occurs. F-bombs and other swear words are scattered liberally throughout.

Magick, dragons and witches come as standard.

Still may not be suitable for vegetarians.

Broken is the second captivating instalment in the Green St. Girls series by N.D Jackson. I love it when one of Ms. Jackson’s books hits my Kindle and I can lose myself in her lovely creation- and after getting a taste of this series from the first book, I very happily dove right in to this second addition to follow along with the Green Street Girls to see what they had in store for us this time.
It is another great read- a contemporary romance- with a bit of a friends to lovers element, plenty of emotion, family, friendship, challenges, risks, self-doubts, chemistry, wonderful characters, angst, drama, discovery, and heartwarming details. Again, Ms. Jackson has produced a book which has all the ingredients that I look for that will keep me avidly reading- which this story definitely had, so before I knew it I had devoured the whole book- and now I can’t wait for Book #3.
As expected, N.D Jackson writes beautifully- her descriptive details brought the whole story to life. The characters especially are really well developed, complex, and quite endearing. I love the Green St. Girls- Indigo, Athena, Gwyn, and Charlie…. so, I am really looking forward to more of their stories.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, N.D Jackson!
