I just love finding new authors. This is the first book I have read by this author and I was not let down at all. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it happens to be one of my favorite genres Fantasy Romance. I like how the author is able to build the world and characters. The chemistry between them is heated. There is just enough drama to balance out the romance and grab the reader and keep you hooked. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

This is the second in the Ground Rule series, a lovely addition to the series. Each book can be read as a standalone as each book focuses on a different couple. Characters from the first book do pop up so I would recommend reading the first to get a clearer picture of who everyone is.
I love a good ‘enemies to lovers’ trope so I knew I’d enjoy this book. The plot was enjoyable and flowed well, as did the author’s writing style making more an easy read. Although it isn’t exactly enemies to lovers, it was still a fun story to get lost in.
I loved the characters of Zara and Noel and am so happy with the conclusion of their story.
This is a brilliant second chance romance that has so many of the things I like in a book. I was pulled into this story really easily and found I lost the afternoon reading this book. I enjoyed the characters and their development. Their connection was obvious, even after so many years apart. I wanted to see how things would turn out for them and hoped for their happy ending. I thought the writing style of this book was easy going and a great read. It is the kind of book you can pass an afternoon reading. As the second book in the series, it could easily be read as a standalone, however I know I will be reading them all.

This is the first book in the Ground Rule series and, for me, served as a great introduction to the author.
I enjoyed the writing style the author used, that alongside the plot flowed well and make for an easy read. The characters were lovable and well-written, their chemistry almost tangible. I really enjoyed Celia and Kyle as a couple and was rooting for them throughout.
The story was sweet, and I can see why the characters made the decisions they did out of love. I was emotionally invested in Celia and Kyle’s journey and am happy with how their story ends.
This was the first book I read by the author and I’m now a fan, I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

This book is the second book of the series, but can be read as a standalone. This is a great rockstar romance that has a strong focus on the characters at is core. I loved the connection between Maria and Oz. It was instant and believable. I really enjoyed watching how it developed as the book wen one. This is a pretty new author to me still and I am enjoying getting to know the writing style. The story has a great pace to it and I found it easy to engage with. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am looking forward to the next.

5 Star’s A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley Book 1) by Theresa Paolo
A Toast for Laurent is the first book in the Vine Valley series and is a Contemporary Romance/Second Chance Romance that you won’t want to put down once you start reading. This is a new author to me but I’m definitely going to be checking out what other books they have written. This is a second chance romance packed with, drama, family drama, secrets, regret and so much more. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with fully developed characters make for a wonderful story. Phoebe and Laurent have a past that he wonders what happened to her and why she ran. Fast forward two decades and he’s finally getting his answers to many questions or does he? These two have serious chemistry and you can tell love is both sided but one of them is to scared to realize what was infront of them all those years ago and even now. Can they have their happy ending? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Nathan Logan’s life looks like everything’s under control. Whenever the gossip columns post a fake story about him, he has people that clean up the mess for him. Because of all the “bad” publicity, when he tries to purchase a studio, the shareholders balk at the deal. In comes Catrina Sinclair, lawyer and a neutral party, to organize the deal. But Nathan and Catrina have met, in a mind-blowing one-night-stand. Talk about conflict of interest! This is the third book in the series, but can be read as a stand-alone. I love this series and highly recommend it.

This is the 3rd book in the Kings Of Screen series. All of these books can be read as standalone but I loved them all. The author has a amazing way of bringing the character to life. Making them relatable and real, describe emotions and feelings that the reader can relate to and giving the characters personalities which endear them to the reader and makes the reader invest in their story. This is a romance which has got a push pull feel from the beginning. The characters chemistry jumps off the page and their flirtatious behaviour on the part of Nathan and the fight that Catrina puts up to make sure she keeps things strictly business is great entertainment. When Nathen and Catrina met it was a one night stand. An amazing time granted but that’s all it was. Catrina goes to work the next day ready to take on a big case of someone buying a studio only to discover that the person she’s representing is none other than the guy she thought she would never see again. Now despite the attraction and chemistry she needs to keep things professional because failing to do so could lose her everything she has worked so hard for.
Nathan has it all, money, a good career, everything except a woman to share it with. When he realises that Catrina is his attorney he realises this is his chance to capture the one thing he’s missing. But she isn’t that easy and when she tries to keep things professional he tries even harder to make her cross the line.
Both Nathan and Catrine have things they risk losing but what if losing the things they have could mean they gain something much more. Will they be prepared to take the risks to find happiness? Can they keep their attraction and history a secret?

The Bond was an exciting story! I always love a good enemies to lovers novel and this one is werewolf flavored! The main heroine is on a journey to save her pack while the main hero is forces to find a wife, a task he begrudges. Lines get blurred when undeniable chemistry flares and makes them both question their resolve. If you love werewolves & heat-laced friction, this is a must read!

Debbie Cromack did an amazing job with Angelo and Lucia. There was a lot of confusion between these two characters that showed how true love is sometimes in real life. I admire the fact that Angelo stood his ground for a while to really come forward and tell Lucia how he feels for her. Lucia out of emotion should of stop and thought about it through because in the end humans will always make mistake and regret it. But Angelo showed her how he really feels for her and he is willing to take care of her.

This is a new author for me which I enjoyed reading and look forward to seeing what is next for this author. This is a fast paced paranormal story where the author used details to make the story come to life. The characters are creative, strong and added to the entertaining value of the story. I enjoyed how they pulled me into their world of vampires with secrets and lies. Their destiny is theirs together but others may have something else in mind. Is there a happy ever after in store? This is a well written story where the author used details to make this story realistic. I had no issues picturing myself in this world. I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot and characters throughout. I enjoyed reading this story and I highly recommend it.

This is the first time I have read a book by this very talented author and oh boy was I taken on an emotional rollercoaster!! So much so I know it will stay in my heart for a long time. It deals with some very tough issues, warnings are given at the very start so please be sure to read them if you have trigger concerns, but this author writes it so well I simply can not imagine anyone reading it not feeling every possible emotion intensely. My feelings towards some issues covered in this book were strong already but damn are they reinforced now!!

4 Star’s Bound by the Hinterlands by Bree M. Lewandowski
Bound by the Hinterlands is a Fantasy Romance that is a shorter story that honestly took me a bit to get into the story. But once I did I had a hard time putting it down. I enjoyed reading this book and the characters are developed, creative, real and some are raw yet relatable and they made the story come to life . This authors style of writing and world building is incredible once I got into the story. Its packed with drama, danger, turmoil, action, adventure, romance and so much more. Cressida has had one dream her whole life and that is to have her own life on her merit. Seeing as she has an abusive and controlling father its hard for her to imagine that happening considering he’s arranged her marriage to Baron Caravahl Alzeid. Follow along with Cressida on her journey to the Hinterlands and find out what happens next. There’s a few twists and turns that had me turning the pages. Can Caravahl save her darkness even if it means risking everything? I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Lewandowski – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
This is book two of the series. It can be read as a standalone. It’s the first book I’ve read of this series and now I definitely need to go read book one!
Maria is finally free of her unhappy marriage. The only problem, she has no where to live. Money isn’t the issue, she just doesn’t have a plan in place. Maria decides she needs some time with her sister. However, when she gets to her sisters house, the only person she finds is Oz. Figuring they are both going to the same place, Oz offers to go with her to the wedding. There is instant attraction between Oz and Maria. The only way to complicate things? Maria offers to finance his band. Now she’s his boss and they are walking a thin line.
This book sucked me in and I couldn’t put it down! Who doesn’t love rock stars? This book has some angst, all the chemistry, and all the emotion! It was such a good read! I need to read more!!

This is book 3 of the series but it can be read as a standalone. I didn’t feel like I missed anything in the story. It was so good though that I plan to go back and read the first two.
Catrina is level headed. As an attorney, she is great at keeping things professional. That is until her celebrity fling ends up being a client. There is a strict rule about not sleeping with clients. They are certainly going to test that rule. Nathan has everything he could want. Until he meets Catrina. He knows she’s off limits but that doesn’t change anything.
There is so much chemistry between these characters that it’s hard to read and not root for them even if they are supposed to be off limits. The book is so well written, I couldn’t get enough! I feel like I devoured it so quickly! Definitely going to read the other books in the series.

Quick, hot rock star romance This was a quick read for me and a great way to spend an afternoon. I enjoyed the writing, the characters were fleshed out, with dual POV and the romance spicy. Maria needs to do some soul searching and Oz is need of support. It’s a journey filled with humour, drama, romance and rock star goodness. Looking forward to reading more from this author. Recommend.

What a great romance story. Ben is an entrepreneur, loving husband and doting father. He remembers the trauma he previously experienced when his family learned of his indiscretion with another man, leading to him being treated in the controversial means of conversion therapy. His wife honestly believes that Ben being gay can be handled if he stays the course and focuses on what was learned in therapy and his love for his wife and children.
We find Ben struggling with his personal thoughts when confronted with an interesting moment while interviewing an intriguing young man named Caden who often frequents Ben’s coffee shop. Ben immediately finds himself wanting to know more about him and even hires him to help run his second business location. To keep things on the up and up, he mentions Caden and how interesting he is to his wife. Even in doing so, he finds himself thinking of ways to spend more time with Caden.
The reader is brought along with Ben’s journey through conflicts and awakening throughout the book. While the journey is difficult, I think it could truly be an eye opening story for anyone looking to explore their own personal journey and experiences, or simply learn how someone in this situation tries to deal with life altering situations.
The author did a great job expanding on the depth of the two main characters and the complexity of the subject matter.

Loved the chemistry between Angelo and and Lucia! They fought their attraction tooth and nail but they knew they belonged together, no matter how much they denied it! He’s over protective and she hates it.

So in this book we already have met Cole and Riley. And their still at war with one and another. It will be making you question if they will part ways or if they’ll overcome and have a happily after. I’m really happy with what I read in all. The series is flowing together nicely.

Cole and Riley are playing a game of catch and chase. They’re attracted to each other but are hesitant to give in to it. I really enjoyed this book but it also had me contemplating on a similar movie. The similarities were to stop doing what she was taught and enjoy school. In all it’s a really good book and I highly recommend the series.

Underneath the Whiskey is an interesting read about a man struggling to balance his life. Benjamin struggles maintaining balance between his blossoming coffee shop business, his tumultuous relationship with his wife, and the sexuality he has worked very hard to repress. I found some aspects of the story very compelling, such as the use of reparative therapy along with shock therapy in order to convince Ben he isn’t gay. But overall, I felt the story was a little slow and drawn out. I often found myself thinking of other things while reading (which rarely happens). I just didn’t feel fully connected to this book like I thought I would be. While Underneath the Whiskey wasn’t quite my cup of tea story wise, I do feel like Chelsea Lauren still delivered authentic, believable and relatable characters that the reader could connect with.

This book is a must love small town romance book. You know the good lifetime feeling books? This is it. I really loved how realistic the story could be. Who didn’t make a pact as a kid with their best friend? I really enjoyed the imagery. The story is full of everything you’d want on a slow day when you want to escape into another life.

This is my first novel by Anna Gomez and it won’t be my last. Fast read, perfect for summer around the college courses I am taking as well as work…. neither Simon nor Tessa got on my nerves the entire book, which usually what happens when I read romance-like books. I enjoyed the little snippets of different countries and cultures they visit together, and felt overall the story flowed well without being overally wordy or too long, just the right length.
My favorite part was when Simon is trying to figure out technology to stay connected with Tessa- very funny lines throughout that part of the story! Looking forward to reading her other two novels.
