Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1)Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading the prequel novella, I have been looking forward to more of Cole and Riley’s story.

Riley has moved (again) and her goal is to graduate while keeping her head down. That is quickly thwarted when a guy that she shared a kiss with months ago puts a target on her back as soon as he sees her. However, when they find out that their lives may be more intertwined than they thought…the bullying and hatred increases. But, as we all know, there is a thin line between lust and hate…and these two cross it every chance they get. The real question is…who will destroy the other first?!?

This book is the definition of enemies to lovers..to enemies…to (you get the point). There is so much back and forth that you keep turning the pages to see what is going to happen next. A couple of words of caution…you don’t have to read the prequel to understand what is going on…and you are going to be left with a cliffhanger that has you wanting the next book! A great story that I enjoyed reading!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is a prequel to this story that gives more insight into the tension between Riley and Cole, but it’s not an absolute must in order to understand what’s going on in this book.

As with the prequel, Riley’s character didn’t land as well for me as Cole’s, but overall, the story has a lot of angst and build up between the two that keeps you reading. Even though I didn’t connect with Riley’s character much, I think the character development on the whole was well done, as was the world building.

If you like enemies-to-lovers new adult stories, this will probably be right up your alley.

The Silent RoadThe Silent Road by S.N. McKibben
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is about a man named Dan who is a divorced truck driver with a complicated relationship with his daughter, due to being absent so often for work. It seems that one thing is going wrong after another and he can’t catch a break as he tries to navigate through the minefield that is his life.
Though he has driven a truck for years, getting caught without a license sets him way back. He has another chance to get his license and work, but he is on probation and has to have an instructor with him so he can re-learn the job he has done for so long. As he drives, his relationship with Jake, his instructor develops and he begins to feel things he never expected to feel for another man. His character grows a lot through this book as he admits his wrongs and discovers himself.
This story is well written. There is good character development and the story is enjoyable, if you are into this sort of book. This is not the type of book that I am normally am interested in, but that is personal preference and nothing to do with the authors writing. If you like this type of story, this book is worth a read.

Right in Front of You: Volume One: Brinley & Adrian (Morris Valley Gang Book 1)Right in Front of You: Volume One: Brinley & Adrian by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book and can totally relate to Brinley. She and her girls are best friends forever. She ends up moving away and they promise to keep in touch which they do as much as possible. Brinley is all over the place shooting documentaries ever since she was in the Olympics.

She has a stalker that seems to always know where she is and decides it’s time to go back to her hometown of Morris Valley and visit her girlfriends while someone else tries to go to a different location making her think her stalker is with her instead of back with her friends. While staying with friends she meets Adrian who is a tall, dark, muscular rancher who is quite good looking. Both have their eyes set in eachother but, Brin is only visiting. Adrian usually works very long hours on the farm and no one really understands it but Brin definitely gets it because her family has a farm back home. When Brinley’s stalker makes it known that he/she knows where she is, Adrian offers to bring her to the farm which is somewhat further from town and vows to keep her safe.

One night all the girls, Adrian and the guys go out to a bar and think they have a well thought out plan to keep Brinley safe. Adrian doesn’t like the plan at all to use her as bait but decides to go along with it. What could possibly go wrong with about 10 sets of eyes watching one girl in a bright shimmery dress? This book was great. I loved it from beginning to end. I loved the friendship between Brinley and her girls. Great characters, great storyline.

Rogue (The Talisman Series Book 6)Rogue by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in The Talisman series. I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. This is a story of good vs evil with hints of celtic mythology. It involves fated mates, magic, a curse, a one man’s search for survival and redemption by finding his fated mate (Talisman).
This story is action packed and the author has a unique way of writing that grips and reader and doesn’t let you go. I would recommend reading the books in order so you can get the full story with regards to the evil that has cursed the warriors and what it means. This story is told from several points of view which keeps the story engaging and moving forwards at a fast pace. I love the main characters of Delany and Baz. They are both strong characters fighting for and protecting the people they care about. When they meet they are enemies but what do you do when you realise that your enemy could possible the fated mate you’ve been searching for your whole life.

This story is full of action packed adventure and a romance that is so special that I couldn’t put it down until the end. It was one story that I completely lost myself to and really enjoyed.

Just One Time (Beaumont Creek, #1)Just One Time by Samantha Baca
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is about Abby and Nate. Best friends since they were in grade school together.
Abby just turned 40 and she is losing hope to ever find “the one” but her dream was always to be a mother. She could easily go to a doctor and have a procedure done to make it happen or her best friend Nate might even volunteer to help her out. When he offers to be the baby daddy, he is offering to do it the old fashion way. It would be just one time and they could go back to being best friends.
Both Abby and Nate are attracted to eachother more than the other knows.
Personally, I didn’t care for Abby’s character. Nate was probably the sweetest guy and from how he was described he was gorgeous too. Not to mention how he treated Abby. I feel like Abby was just breaking his heart over and over again in the book. Both of them needed to get over it and tell the other how they feel. Will Abby and Nate be able to save their friendship or will crossing the line ruin it forever?

Right in Front of You: Volume One: Brinley & Adrian (Morris Valley Gang Book 1)Right in Front of You: Volume One: Brinley & Adrian by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging romance, which had me hooked throughout. Brinley is an Olympian shooter, who returns to her childhood home of Morris Valley when she’s in danger from a stalker. She’s always kept in touch with her group of friends, and so was looking forward to being one of the ‘tribe’ again. Whilst in the local pub she’s introduced to rancher Adrian Cook, and their chemistry is instant. Adrian loves being a rancher but remains single after his last girlfriend left having discovered that being a rancher is not how it looks on the TV. As Brin and Adrian, with some help from Miss Polly get to know each, Brin’s stalker turns up and she’s once again in danger.
Adrian, along with her friends hatch a plan to help keep her safe. Although their relationship started as a fling they both feel that it could be something deeper, but Brin never planned on staying. I loved all the characters in this romantic suspense and the plot kept me gripped. The descriptive narrative brought both the small town setting and the characters vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the storyline. The chemistry between Brin and Adrian sizzled off the page and led to some romantic, but steamy scenes. I also liked how their connection developed over the story, and enjoyed the interactions and banter between the friends. I really felt as though I was one of the Morris Valley gang and I look forward to reading each characters story.

This was a good five star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
Baz is a rogue who surrendered to Morrigan. When he finds out the truth he devises a plan. He also meets Delaney who throws him for a loop, he finally found his mate. Their connection was off the charts. Will Baz follow through on his plans? Will he get the HEA with his mate? I really enjoyed the characters, they were both very strong. The author does a great job with her writing.
We get multiple POV in this read, I really enjoy that so you can see what everyone’s thinking. We get action, adventure, magic and so much more in this read. If you’re looking for a great series to read, 1-click and get started on this one.

Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 1)Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Riley and her mom are closer than most mothers and daughters. That comes with the territory when you spend your lives on the run from a psychotic and dangerous ex. They’ve made their lives about blending in, getting their mark and getting out before he can pin down their location again. Last time he caught up with them, her dad almost killed her mom. It makes it a lot harder when they return to a place from a year ago and especially when her mom gets a boyfriend and tells her to forget everything she taught her and enjoy her senior year of high school. MUCH easier said than done.

Cole is elite amongst the rich and elite of his peers. He is king of the high school, king of the football field, king of his fights…all the girls want him and all the guys want to be him. But he can’t get his mind off the girl who invaded his life a year ago and left him with an unbearably hot kiss. That kiss was from none other than Riley, when they were in the area a year ago. She looked different then, with her hair dyed dark and her emo garb – and he was drunk at a house party. But she never left his mind.

The first day Riley walks in to school, it starts. The harassment from the elite, Cole seeking her out and being threatening. When his dad, whom he hates, calls and tells him not to worry about the rental house showing movement because he is letting a friend crash there, Cole finds Riley there and immediately wonders how things will be explained.

Before long, they find that they are even less likely to be able to avoid one another at all. They both equally hate and lust for one another, pushing and pulling and stealing moments they can’t resist.

There are a lot of layers to these characters and they play very well off of one another. The story is like dangling a carrot, you can’t stop turning the pages to see what happens next. There is a prequal that shares the experience from a year before book 1, but it isn’t necessary to read to understand this book – it just adds some extra when you see they ways they are all trying to survive. Book 1 ends on a great cliffhanger, cannot wait for book 2!

Doctor Frank Enstein (Doctors of Eastport General)Doctor Frank Enstein by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

C.A. King has done it again! She never fails in writing a book that gets me hooked right away! In this book we are introduced to Dr. Frank Enstein and to Barbara. Unfortunately Dr Enstein has always had some tunnel vision when it comes to his life and what his goals are. Most of this comes from a traumatic event that happened to him when he was a child. Dr. Enstien is a plastic surgeon but his goal in life isn’t to took on boobs and butts, his goal is to help trauma patients, especially burn victims and when the opportunity finally arrives he jumps on it! Well little does he know that one night while out with his co-workers he runs into Barbara the bartender, and she is about to turn his world upside down! Unlucky for Dr. Enstein, his first meeting with Barbara did not go his way one bit. He comes off as rude and when the next encounter with her happens he starts to feel bad about how it went when they first met. Barbara has some issues that are putting a crimp into her everyday life, and she hopes that Frank can be the one to help her. But as time goes on Frank realizes while he cannot help Barbara with her issues, but maybe his old partner can. What he does realize is that he has fallen for Barbara and she is the woman that he has been wanting and waiting for.
I won’t say much more about the story line because I don’t want to ruin it for anyone, but I will say that is was a great read that wasn’t very long. Even though it is what is considered a short read, C.A. doesn’t leave you hanging and gets right to the point. This book reminds you that you shouldn’t judge based on appearances.

I am not going to lie, based off the beginning, I wasn’t sure I would be able to get past the first few chapters. I did not like Dan, and my dislike was enough that I almost stopped reading. But based on a few interactions with Jake, I was just curious enough to keep reading, and I am so glad I did. I’m still not sure I like Dan, but he at least grows as a person and learns from his experiences. Jake was fun, though I am not quite sure what attracted him to Dan. I absolutely adore Mimi!

This story is not really about Dan and Jake’s relationship, it is more about Dan facing his prejudices and learning to be a better person. In the end, I enjoyed this book.

In this story there’s a lot to unfold. You have Dan, who is fighting to do what is right by his kid. He failed her and his ex-wife many years ago by always choosing the trucker life over them. The guilt he carries is heavy. He is trying to help her achieve her dreams.

This all comes when he is caught driving without a license. Then the real secret comes out as to why he has struggled passing the written test. Especially when it’s been proven and proved again that he is a heck of a trucker.

His boss pairs him up with a fellow driver Jake. Dan has made his own assumptions of Jake. However, this week long cross country trek proves to change minds, not just Dan’s but Jake’s as well. All while Dan is trying to make good on a promise to his kid.

The ending surprised me.

There is some MM relationship in this book and a lot of banter and “joking” about it from both characters and for some people that might be a bit uncomfortable. But if you look at the situation it’s something that if these were real people they’d likely be experiencing this exact thing.

/0 Comments/in /by

“There are two truths in life. One road leaves to where you want to go… Two all roads circle back to oneself, even if that person in the mirror is not recognizable from when the journey began.”

Dan’s life is at the point that he doesn’t know which way is up and he feels like a failure. Dan is a truck driver that just got saddled with a partner, Jake who follows every rule to a “T” when it comes to driving. Can Dan stand the strict rules that Jake insist on following? Will there time on the road bring them closer together or drive them crazy?

This is not typically a book that I would read. I didn’t realize exactly how the story line would unfold in the relationship between Jake and Dan. I will admit that there were scenes that I skimmed more than read. Overall the book was a good read with challenges faced by both Jake and Dan. There was quiet a bit of road blocks and challenges, but together they were able to overcome them.

This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books are engaging and well written. I have enjoyed her books from the first one I picked up and this one is no different. This is a romance story about going home for safety but the danger comes with you. You meet a steamy rancher who comes to the rescue but will he rescue more than just you? This is a great story where the characters pull you into the story from the start. The author used details making their story realistic. I had no problems picturing myself in their world or even being friends with them. They are strong, supportive characters that I just fell for. I enjoyed watching their growth and chemistry throughout the story. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. This is one of my favorites by this author. I highly recommend this book and this author.

The characters are well written and I found the balance of romance and drama really good. I love how the chemistry between the main characters is.

The paranormal world of vampires is one of my favorites. I like how there was not a clear path to the pair getting together. I found the author really has a good way to keep the reader baited and wanting more. I will definitely be reading more from this author in future.

Under My Care (Chase Care Book 3)Under My Care by R.L. Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the Chase Care Series. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone. This story is an amazing mix of medical emergency, danger, Romance and secrets from the past being revealed.
I loved both our leading character Peter Walter and Rowena Anderson.
Our character have history together, sparks flew and chemistry was so strong all those years ago when they were working together.
Fast forward and Peter is still risking his life to save people and Rowena returned home to work at the hospital. Neither expected to see each other again. Until a mission with casualties and a storm means they have to arrive at Rowena’s hospital for treatment.
When Peter and Rowena meet again the chemistry is back instantly but can they rekindle their spark from years before? And what happens when secrets from the past could change both their lives.
Add to the romance the danger of a kidnapping that went wrong and a very dangerous man on the loose it just adds an dangerous element to the story.

Can Peter and Rowena rekindle their love from all those years ago? Can they survive the impending storm both in reality and emotionally. When you take a vow to protect and care do you do that at the risk of your own life?

This story is rollercoaster of emotions giving you highs and lows and throwing in some danger to keep you on the edge of the seat. This author never fails to keep the reader engaged and captivated by the stories and the people that are created.

This is a great story of family, friendship, and finding love in the most unsuspecting of places. This is a MM romance. It has a very Brokeback Mountain feel to it. I loved getting to know Dan and Jake and seeing their relationship develop. And Mimi, the dog, had my heart from the first time we meet her. This is a great read with a few *spicy* scenes and I would highly recommend. I can’t wait to see if McKibben is going to come out with a sequel.

Under my Care is the third book in the Chase Care Series. It follows the story of Peter Walter the Clinical Facility Director for Chase Care. This role is a bit different from past ones where he has been a physician assistant and a pararescue jumper for the Air Force, but it is far from keeping him out of danger. The book starts with a bang as Pete is on a mission to save a mother and daughter who have been kidnapped.

The mother is unable to be saved by the time Pete and his team arrive and only the young daughter, Linde is left behind. The building is on fire, so they rush to rescue her from the burning building, but Linde and Pete are now in need of urgent medical care. The team is forced to land their helicopter at the nearest hospital after a blizzard hits the area. The ER is busy as other local residents have sought shelter from the blizzard and need urgent medical care. One patient in need of urgent care just happens to be the young daughter of the bad guys.

When Pete arrives at the hospital, he comes face to face with the beautiful woman he has never forgotten. He has not seen her since an unforgettable mission in Afghanistan. A mission that left them both hurt and left their lives in turmoil. Dr. Rowena Anderson has moved herself and her two sons back to her family’s ranch in Montana to keep them safe. She is now working as an Emergency Room Doctor at Guardian Hospital. When Dr. Rowena sees Pete again, she realizes that secrets are hard to keep buried. Her and Pete must work together to decide what their future will be. Will they be able to survive the chaos and pursue the chemistry between them?

This book will grab your attention and suck you into the storyline from the beginning. It is fast paced with so much going on at once that it is almost impossible to catch your breath. The characters of Rowena and Pete were relatable, and you could feel the chemistry between them. It was interesting to see how their story would unfold. Both were strong, independent, and unafraid to look danger in the eye. This book had it all from the heart racing, nail biting action, suspense, danger, and intrigue to the romance, love, passion, and chemistry between characters. I am anxious to read book four in this series.

The Silent RoadThe Silent Road by S.N. McKibben
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Silent Road is the first book I’ve read from author S.N. McKibben. This story takes the reader on a journey with Dan, a divorced father and truck driver who cannot seem to catch a break in any aspect of his life. He feels like a failure of a husband because he loved the road as a truck driver more than he enjoyed time with his family. He feels like a failure of a father because of the turmoil of a somewhat absent father. Now he is having to be trained to drive a truck, although he has been doing it since he was a child. He is racing to get to Texas while apprenticing under a gay man named Jake so that he can help his daughter with moving into her dorm and to pay for her first semester of college. It is evident he feels passionately about being there for his baby girl, and might seek some redemption from the past. Dan has considered himself to be a “bigot” but still respectful enough to not wish harm upon anyone who is different or thinks differently from him. However, this trip with Jake seems to opening his eyes to thoughts and feelings he’s never thought or felt before.

This story was very well written and I loved seeing how this story grew and how Dan grew as a person as well. Sometimes it’s the things and situations we detest and refuse to accept, that we actually need to open ourselves up to to be okay with or even find our true happiness, whatever that may be. Overall, I do recommend giving this story a try if it sounds interesting to you!
