This book was an intense romantic suspense. I have to admit that I did figure out who the interloper was. The suspense was well written and drawn out. Watching Adrik deal with his feelings and guilt made you feel like you were there. The characters were really written to feel like they fit the personality and the story. Once I started, I could not put that story down. It does pull you in and engage you. A definite 5 star read. I love this series and I believe you will too.
Oh man, book 2 of the Tallie Brown saga. Absolute heaven. It picks up where book 1 left off. I’m not going into it because it would be a spoiler. The story is well done. Our protagonists carry on and have to continue to work on their relationship as they work to solve the mystery of what happened to Tallie’s father. Who are the antagonists? Who did it? The characters are fantastic and developed so well. Again, you feel all the emotion as if you are in the story with them. The book feels like it may end there but I vote for the author to continue on with this and making it a series. I loved this and I would give the whole thing more than 5 stars if I were allowed to. Well done!!!! One of my absolute favorites of 2022.

Kamana Wanalaya is very easy and fun to read. The characters in the story compliment each other which makes the story a lot more interesting and makes you want to keep reading nonstop. I love how the author incorporates the other couples in the book into the story, it’s not just about the main characters. Also, there are a few hilarious scenes that you can picture in your mind happening that the reader can’t help but laugh out loud.
Wow! I fell in love with this one. Life as Tallie knew it was all a deception. After the death of her mom, she set out to find out the truth. With the help of Jackson, they set out on a suspense trip that puts them in the hands of danger and mystery. Will they find the answers they look for? This author had me sitting on the edge of my seat holding my breath as I read. The suspense was palpitating. You can feel it as you’re reading. The characters are so well written and developed. You feel like you’re in the story with them. That plot, it flows smooth and the, BAM, plot twist, and back to smooth, repeat. Fantastic tale of intrigue, deception, suspense, lies. This is a must read. I would give it more than 5 stars if I were allowed. It’s that good!

He’s the broody brother in the family whose temper can go from zero to death row in a heartbeat. She’s the sexy television producer who stops him in his tracks. Are these two opposites nothing more than a one night stand?
He didn’t mean to give Elyse pleasure during the important studio party. Because they could never be anything more than friends, right?
And even though she was drop-dead gorgeous and flaunted her sexy-as-sin charm, he should’ve kept his hands to himself and looked the other way. Until he walked into that party and his gaze landed on her barely-there dress. At that moment he never wanted anything so badly in his entire life.
He’s worked hard to protect his family and call his life his own, but when they become trapped together during a freak snowstorm, all bets are off. She’s made it clear she’s a city girl, and not interested in settling down in a small town like Langston Falls. But watching her on the farm, he starts to see another side of her that has him wishing she’d reconsider.
Will the bond they share be enough to overcome a long distance relationship? Or will his chance at happily ever after explode, leaving him angry and alone?

I thought this book was very well written. I loved it from beginning to end. Beckett Miller was the epitome of bad boy. He had the gorgeous body, rippling muscles, NHL Star, was a player with a capitol P, was into drugs…you Name it! His life came to a screeching halt one night when a girl he partied with ended up in a bad place. His life was gone as he knew it. He went from partying every night, expensive liquor to unemployed, drinking the cheap stuff and no money for anything. He ran into Paige…who he went to college with years ago. They became friends and Beckett was there for her as a best friend when she went thru something horrible. Andie aka Paige also was there for Beckett while he battled everything going on and tried to get his career back. They were like best friends. The chemistry was there for both of them but, there were other things more important for both of them to focus on. I loved most of the characters in the book, loved how everything went down. Definitely a 5 star read for me. Looking forward to more in the series.

Richard Harrison, the intelligence officer assigned to protect her, has all he can do to keep her alive. But, as the psychological games to terrorize Gabriela escalate beyond his control, Richard must find a solution, if not, it may be too late for them both. Set in the exotic French Riviera, The Coin is a story of hatred, betrayal, love and duty—of terrible and painful choices that, nonetheless, bring about personal triumph.
Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra is an award-winning author with a unique point of view: to give her readers and fans thrills and kills, with a twist. Her characters are placed in danger in ingenuous ways while, at the same time, her novels are set in locales across Europe and the United States, reflecting her international upbringing and extensive time as a Cuban exile and global traveler.
The author’s writing career began circa age thirteen with a very juvenile science fiction short story; but the writing bug hit, and she has been writing, in one capacity or another, ever since. She has worked as a professional dancer, singer, journalist, and literature teacher in both the university and middle school levels (and not necessarily in that order) and holds a Masters in English literature. All her novels have received different accolades, including gold, silver, and bronze medals, as well as honorary mentions from respected book award institutions.
Ms. Alonso-Sierra is currently writing full-time and loves to hear from her fans and readers. When not writing, she roams around to discover new places to set her novels.

Taming Beckett is the first book in The Playmakers series by G.K. Brady. This is the first time I have read any of Ms. Brady’s work so I was quite interested to see what I would find. It is a contemporary sports romance following Beckett Miller, a disgraced hockey player who’s hit rock-bottom- his life spiralling out of control by being caught up in one-to-many scandals. Then enters unlucky in love real estate agent Paige Anderson, and things start to look up. These two knew each other in college, but ten years has passed since then. Both have been burned, and both need someone they can trust. What does fate have in store for them? I really wanted to love this book, and it really should have ticked all the boxes for me- but unfortunately, I just couldn’t connect with the characters which made it quite difficult to invest in their story. Also, the storyline was quite slow in places which resulted in pulling me out of the story, as I had found my mind wandering quite a lot. I had to continually force my focus back on the story, as it hadn’t pulled me in the way I hoped it would. As I have been on a bit of a thriller binge lately, maybe that’s why I haven’t connect with this book. So, I have decided that I will revisit it again in a few weeks to see if I still feel the same way, or if I was just having an ‘off’ reading day. So don’t let me put you off grabbing a copy and having your own opinion on the book… Stay tuned…

This book was the perfect way for me to end a busy holiday weekend. I have been missing my bestie more than usual. As soon as I read this book, I had to tell her to read it as well. We decided that if one of us was ever to be stood up at the alter by our next husbands (cough Chris Evans and Keanu Reeves cough) we would not hesitate to revenge honeymoon together! I am so glad Emily, the great wingwoman that she is, has the opportunity to find some fun in the sun of her own. I hope you enjoy Revenge Honeymoon as much as I did!
Well I’m not sure where to start with this wonderful book but after reading the first sentence I knew I would be hooked. Having only read a couple of novels by this author before I knew just by looking at the amazing cover that I was in for a great read and I definitely wasn’t wrong. Not only did this author provide us with an amazing story as a whole, but she brings together two completely opposite characters to tie this story all together like a perfect Christmas bow. There is definitely a lot of emotion in this book, and it definitely takes us on an emotional ride, but trust me when I say it’s definitely worth the read.

A bad boy hockey player almost destroys his career with his reckless choices. While having to pick up the pieces he meets or remeets Paige a girl from college. Fairly predictable and slow at times, but not a bad read at all. There are several more books in the series so I am curious about where the author goes from here.

Brady – Review by Trista Priest
Taming Beckett, should’ve been called Taming Beckett While Finding Myself. Actually Taming Beckett is better, but that’s exactly what this book is about. Learning about one’s true self. I thoroughly enjoyed what the author wrote and if I’m being honest I can’t wait to dig into book 2 as well as the rest of this series! Beckett is spiraling quickly into rock bottom. He’s losing his hockey career, he lost his restaurant, he lost all his money and his drug addiction almost killed someone. Paige has her company and a marriage she’s trying to save. A husband she loves but he’s always traveling for work, or so she thought. When these two meet again Beckett unloads on her, not realizing who she is. But in the end these two may be what each other needs. It might take some time but Beckett remembers Paige, well Andie as he called her, she’s the only one who ever told him “no.” A budding friendship forms between these two broken souls. Broken long before their current life situations. The author takes one on adventure while these two discover who they truly are and what makes them happiest. The growth by both characters is beautifully written, especially Beckett. This is one of those books I didn’t want to put down. I only did because I had no choice and now that I’m done I want more!

Taming Beckett is a sports romance tale, and we all know that sports romances have bad boys at the helm and this one is no different.
Broken and down on his luck but of his own doing NHL bad boy Beckett Miller is on the verge of losing it all. Turning to his friend to see if she can help him turn it all around, he discovers much more than he thought he could.
I liked Beckett and Paige and the trials and tribulations they were going through. The chemistry there and They were good for each other, but I found that I could not fully immerse myself in their story. The pacing felt a little too slow at times and a little drawn out leaving me wanting more. Having said that I will be catching up on the next books in the series to see where GK takes it. There are nine books to the series, so it is bound to get exciting?
If you like contemporary sports romances, then give this book a try.

Brady – Review by Jenni Bishop
Great book in a new series, by a most amazing author! I could not put this one down, as I was held tightly with the characters, and what they faced, who they were and who they became, it was a good book!
Paige and Beckett-needed each other, in more than one way! They had to rely on one another at first glance, to help achieve goals. Character building was spot on. Chemistry was hot, hot, and did I mention hot? I loved how differences aside, a great team was made, but even off the ice, hearts can melt with the right amount of bliss. Both of them had troubles, be it past trust or habits in general, loved how they pushed thru those fear and issues to really see what they had going on between them. I love sports reads, and this one really amazed me. Good build not too fast and not too slow! Perfect! Loved it!
Such a good read, and highly must say, if you have not picked this wonderful book as of yet, up, you seriously must! The author also had amazing writing skill! Highly recommend this must read book/author!

I really enjoyed the story of Brad and Mary. They were both so likable and relatable. I like how the author wove the storyline, inserting moments from the past into the present situation. Although it is a short read, you will not fall short on finding the emotion in the story. I was only going to begin the book but ended up reading it in one sitting . A very sweet story about finding love in second chances.

While this book wasn’t what I was expecting, there were very good qualities for this story. Chase and Katarina are the perfect example of ‘Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover’. Where Katarina is unsure of what she wants from being in a romantic relationship, Chase knows exactly what and who he wants but things quickly become complicated when the deals done in the dark are brought to light and Katarina isn’t sure if she has what it takes to be with him. Chase refuses to even entertain the idea of her not being by his side, Chase is willing to do whatever it takes to get her to be with him and while Katarina struggles with her own morals and values, she is often left confused and scared because she doesn’t know who to trust and who is willing to harm or help her, can she trust Chase when she doesn’t know all the information? And when he is hesitant to share everything with her, can he let his walls down and finally let someone in?

A tale of second chance romance. Beckett is realizing that the way he’s been living is life is ruining his career and his life. He has to go back to Denver and basically start over having been downgraded to the minor leagues. Paige, a home renovator, remembers him from school. She is the coach’s real estate agent. Let’s just say the chemistry is still there , though Beckett takes a little longer to remember and Paige has some baggage to lose. The story is entertaining and heartfelt. You feel Beckett’s suffering and Paige’s heartbreak as she realizes that her spouse doesn’t support her. These two belong together and they have a long road back to each other. There are misadventures and misunderstandings. There is relationship trouble that must be worked out. Can they do it? I felt they could. This is a must read. The characters are true to life and very relatable. It is fun to read about anything in Colorado, being a Colorado girl. The plot was smooth and flowed well. A wonderful story that is a must read. Well-written and enjoyable.

Brady – Review by Shelly Kittell
Beckett Miller’s hedonistic lifestyle just got iced. After a high-profile fall from grace over a drug scandal, the aging pro hockey superstar finds himself without a team, dropped from endorsements, and completely broke. Desperate to turn his home into cash, the league’s bad boy is forced to work with a real estate agent with a megawatt smile … and who he’d just made a spectacular fool of himself with.
Paige Anderson’s sales success hasn’t translated to relationships. With her husband becoming more distant, Paige is pulling out all the stops to keep her marriage together, and the last thing she desires is to have a scandal-plagued playboy athlete as a client. But the high commission she’ll get from the sale seems worth it … especially when he unexpectedly becomes a shoulder to cry on.
Surprised when he develops feelings for the beautiful realtor, Beckett decides it’s time to clean up his act and plan for the future. And though Paige can’t stop thinking about the troubled all-star, she worries he’ll betray her like every other man in her life.
Can this damaged duo put aside their fears and take a slapshot at love?
Since childhood, all sorts of stories and characters have lived in G.K. Brady’s imagination, elbowing one another for attention. She’s thrilled (as are they) to bring them to life. She loves telling tales of these less-than-perfect heroes and heroines who transform with each turn of a page, while adding healthy helpings of spice and humor along the way.
G.K. is a recovering real estate professional and the proud mom of three grown sons who wholeheartedly support her but never read her novels—which is probably for the best.
When she’s not writing, you might find her reading, listening to music, drinking wine, or chasing rabbits out of her garden … sometimes all at once. She currently resides in Colorado with her own hero: her very patient husband who welcomes her wacky characters to the dinner table with open arms and mind.

Brady
As a sailor whose life is centered around canvas sails and the sea, the last person Isaac ever expects to find in a fairytale is, well… himself. Yet here he stands, on the edge of the River from the storybook his mother used to read to him as a child, watching it flow from one world to another as far as his eyes can see. Adding to this absurdity, he’s been dragged here by a beautiful, green fairy with vines for hair and an explosive anger problem—yes, explosive. Also, he had to fight a vicious little old man and his air dragon to get to this point.
How much more will he have to face before he can return to his dinners of mashed potatoes and turkey? His adventure couldn’t possibly include giant worms, massive flowers with eyes, clairvoyants, shapeshifters, or that terrifying man Isaac calls Snowman…

Rose
Lily is running. From a dead-end job, a neurotic mother and all the losers she dared to date. Moving halfway across the world to Bluestone County seemed like a good idea at the time. So did reopening her estranged father’s hardware store. But now she isn’t so sure.
Small town living has its perks though. Wide-open space, clean air, and sexy cowboys. Well, one sexy cowboy. Jake. Who also just so happens to be the new bane of her existence. At least when he’s not talking, she can admire the view.
Jake is the king of casual. The love of his life has always been his ranch, and that was fine with him. He never really saw the point in long-term. But all that changes when a mouthy, blonde sasses him into oblivion. He should have known she’d be trouble as soon as he laid eyes on her. Now it’s too late. She’s all he can think about. All he has to do is convince her that he’s finally the right man.
Isobel Reed’s hilarious, emotionally charged romance will have you holding your side with laughter or reaching for a tissue. Reminiscent of small-town romance by Tessa Bailey or Kristen Ashley, you will fall in love with LOVE TOOLS and Isobel Reed’s unique writing style.

Susan Renee knocked this right out of the park. A romantic and a romance cynic meet and it’s all about changing minds! I enjoyed this book so much! It was lighthearted, steamy and funny! A new author for me and truly glad I stumbled on this one! Author drew us into the story making us feel like we are sitting front and centre with a bowl of popcorn hoping and waiting to see the outcome! I was so engrossed in this book I even burnt a batch of cookies! Really a great read!

Degrees of Innocence by Via Mari Degrees of Innocence (Prestian Series, #1) by Via Mari (Goodreads Author)
This book was very entertaining to read, I love book boyfriends that are controlling and caring. Loved the communication before/about the sex. The tension was there, it was built up beautifully. The only reason it’s not five stars is because the plot didn’t blow me away as much but overall it was a good, worthwhile read. Link

There’s nothing I like better at this time of year than reading a good, holiday romance, and Susan Renee hit this one out of the park!
Tenley and Teagan are not quite enemies, but they find themselves worlds apart on their ideas of finding lasting love. Tenley is a cynic when it comes to romance. She has her own podcast, Practical Adult Relationships, where she trashes the idea of love and has no intention of ever falling in love herself! On the other hand, Teagan has his own blog, and he is known as the Love Guru. He is a believer in finding and keeping love yet he hasn’t found that special someone yet. By chance, he invites her to Hawaii for an all-expense paid trip for a week at a couple’s retreat. It’s more of a challenge…if she doesn’t fall in love, he will donate a hefty sum to her podcast. And, Tenley, being Tenley, cannot resist this challenge, not only for the money but to prove to the Love Guru once and for all that love doesn’t exist. Let the games begin!!!!
The attraction between these two is electric despite their dislike of one another. Therefore, the banter between them is fantastic!!! I also liked the fact that Susan Renee kind of turned the story on its head for me. She made the female character the cynic, and the male character the one who believes in the magic of love. I was on his side from the beginning, and I kept hoping he would get her to fall for him!
She also did something different with her characters’ voices. Tenley and Teagan both have their own chapters. We are given their conversations, but we are also given their inner thoughts, so we know exactly how they feel about one another, even though they don’t! I loved that!!!!!
One of my favorite parts of the book was at the end when Renee went into detail about the other couples who are there. They have appeared in her other books, and she actually included the titles of those books so I can easily find them to read. I’m really glad I took a chance on Susan Renee. She has found a new fan in me!

I truly enjoyed this second chance romance. The characters were completely loveable. I also felt that the storyline was completely believable. I also loved that I could feel the butterflies between Brad and Mary even though they were years out of high school. I know that I could relate to misunderstandings in high school. I love that this misunderstanding is given the chance to be set right. More importantly I love that you could feel their emotions jump off the page. If there is one thing this story definitely had going for it was that the author is able to pull you in to it. I found myself thinking about my own high school experiences and wondering how I would handle it if the opportunity presented itself to correct these understandings. It definitely got me thinking about how time changes people and how in as many ways as you change you might also stay the same. I loved this second chance romance!

This book was awesome! The banter back an forth between this couple is hilarious! Its like the elementary school phrase “the more they tease it means they like you”. Their spark is unbelievable, not to mention they get to enjoy Hawaii together for a week! The name alone tells you what kind of Rom Com this is an a must read!
