Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1) by Toni Denise – Review by Allison Davis

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was an adorable, sweet and romantic story. Jake is over dating because all the women seem to be after his money. Lauren does not like rich men because they are all the same, looking for that supermodel that just wants to travel and spend all their money. She just wants a respectable man to settle down with a live a good life. Both of their friends convince them to go on a blind date, literally blind in a PITCH dark restaurant. It was a lovely spin on a blind date, the story was cute, romantic, steamy at times and the friends were realistic. The main thing that was missing for me was the background of the FMC. There was this small part where there seems to be a bit of conflict on the FMC part but it could have been much more developed earlier in the book with more information on FMC past relationship with her mother. The other conflict was with a friend of the MMC and it seemed awkward at best in the story. I think there is A LOT of potential in this series with a little more backstory to the characters.

Rock Bottom (Satan’s Devils MC Book #7) Audiobook by Manda Mellett – Review by Cindy Mayberry

This story is about Rock and Becca. Rock has been outed by the Satan’s Devils. Out on his own he finds another MC to join. The only reason he was able to join was because he has information on Satan’s Devils. While there he discovers a young woman shackled to a post. His job is to feed her but don’t talk to her. Becca is in a marriage that is abusive and cruel. When her husband was sent to prison he handed her over to the Chaos Riders MC. Which were not to touch her but keep her alive. Both Rock and Becca are in what could be the end of them both. Will they get out alive? Could there be a romance in the making? The author of this series is one  of my favorites. Her books are well written and loaded with action. I have found myself at the edge of my seat listening to this story. I have read the book, but listening to it in audio is so much more intense. The narrator reading this story brings it to life. Go ahead and read this one. I recommend you start with book 1 to get to know the characters and the Satan’s Devils.

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1) by Toni Denise – Review by Ayla Eddy

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1)Jake by Toni Denise
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dating is not easy in general. Imagine being a billionaire looking for actual love that isn’t out for your money. Imagine taking a detailed questionnaire to set up a profile for a dating application where you don’t get to see the other person and must rely on the algorithm to pair you with another. Then a date where you cannot see your date. This concept was well written in this story. I couldn’t put the book down.

You want someone to love you for you, but you are a well known billionaire. This is a dilemma facing Jake. Women just want him for his money and could care less about the man behind the money. His friends talk him into a new way to date that would help eliminate the money chasers, blind dating. You have the option to talk prior to the date or leave it to full chance when meeting at the restaurant in the dark where you dine with your date.

Lauren wants a significant other that is well off, but not at the extravagant level of her billionaire boss. Catherine, her friend, convinces her to let her choose a blind date for her. A night of chatting in the dark with a stranger. A date unlike any other with a man that she enjoys talking with though not enough to give him her identity just yet. Intrigued, she agrees to continue getting to know one another through messaging.

How will the two get along when their identities become known? Did the new blind dating work?

Don’t wait. Pick up the book and find out for yourself.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have always loved books by this gifted author. This one really stuck with me! It was deep at times, and the book and the issues of the couple were full of realism and being realistic! You felt a lot while reading.

I felt and really understood a lot between Ava and Cole. Things were rocky, and they let things get that way, but there was no denying the feelings they had that had them be together in the first place. I really felt for them both, was rooting for them all the way through, I wanted to know if they would try again or really call it quits. The book had its empowering sense and gripping the reader, with the journey the author took the reader on. Motivating and heartfelt all the way through! Could not put it down Loved it

Great read that held me to its end. Of course I enjoyed the authors writing as usual! For sure a must read and very much highly recommend this author and this book! Neither is something to be passed up!

I really enjoyed this book and the author’s writing skills. I could not simply put it down, there was much to learn about and wonder, and of course it was a book full of action and intrigue!

I loved the writing of the story and how the author did the flow of the characters and the story! Loved the fantasy aspect of the story. The Elementals were great beings, that I loved learning about. Brooke was a great addition to the story as well, she was very relatable and in a human way, complicated things for Levi. There was a lot of chemistry and passion, but there was a line that must not be crossed for many reasons. I cannot wait to read more by this author and the Elementals. There was so much I wanted answered, I just really enjoyed the characters and the story! Really held my interest! Loved it!

Great read, full of action, suspense, and moments that make your heart ache! A fun read as well! I look forward to reading more! For sure, I highly recommend this author and book! A must read!

Jake (Billionaire Blind Dates Book 1) by Toni Denise

Jake is the first book in the Billionaire Blind Dates series. This Contemporary Romance will have you turning the pages trying to figure out what is going to happen next. I literally read this in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. I’m a sucker for this kind of romance but these two definitely top my list. Jake is tired of women using him because of the size of his bank account and who he is. Lauren is a very smart and intelligent woman who doesn’t need a man with lots of money nor does she need lavish things. These two find themselves on a blind date, the setting is lights are down low enough to see but not see everything if that makes sense. What will happen when he finds out who she really is? What will she do when she finds out who Jake really is? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Im looking forward to reading more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Friends to lovers and second chances
I really enjoyed this tropical romance, with childhood sweethearts finding their way together again. This was no straightforward HEA either. With drama and mysteries following in their wake Marissa and Weston have their work cut out for them. The characters, the island setting and the condom puns had me laughing and feeling all the feels. The author has hit all the right spots for a great rom-com escape. This is definitely a recommend.

Unveiling Beulah Audiobook by Dana Wayne
Genre – Historical Romance
Listening Length – 7 hours 26 minutes
Narrated by – Katie Marchant

She’s running from the past

The jagged scar on Bea Lockhart’s face never lets her forget she’s damaged goods, unsuited for marriage or society. Hidden in the shadows, she efficiently runs her father’s fashionable New York mercantile, making it the place for the social elite to shop.

But her soul cries out for more, making her easy prey for a handsome rogue who ultimately destroys her trust. Shattered, she flees to a small town in Texas.

He wants a family

Lucian Moreau was raised by his wealthy, unsympathetic grandfather. An educated world traveler, he had everything a man could want.

Except a family.

When his grandfather proposes an arranged marriage between two powerful New York dynasties, Luc agrees, believing the union will provide what he lacks. 

         Instead, betrayal forces him to see the charade his life has become. Angry and hurt, he leaves everything behind to start over in Texas.

         Past and Present Collide

Haunted by deception and a lifetime of loneliness and rejection, these two lost souls find love at last.

But when past and present come together, will their love be strong enough to stop the collision from destroying their future?

~ AMAZON ~

Multi-awarding winning author Dana Wayne is a sixth-generation Texan and still resides in the Piney Woods. A sought-after speaker and die-hard romantic, her stories are filled with strong women, second chances, and happily ever after.

“I’ve had a love affair with words my whole life and from an early age, aspired to write. That dream became a reality with the release of my first book in the summer of 2016. I was over the moon when it received first place in a state-wide contest, and I never looked back.

“I’m all about the romance; that excursion two people take from ‘I’ll never love again’ to ‘Happily Ever After’. My stories are very character-driven versus plot-driven and typically include a splash of humor and suspense. While they are a bit steamy at times, I believe true romance is about emotion, not sex, and the journey is more important than the destination. “

It’s a bit of a slow burn, with the guy who’s used to being used for his money falling for the independent girl that unexpectedly steals his heart.

This is a book I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Marissa was a character I adored, related to on certain levels and just gave the book exactly what it needed to surpass expectations. This was well written, easy to read, and easy to love! The suspense, drama and romance kept me on the edge of my seat waiting impatiently for what was to come. My first book read of the Postscript series but I can assure you I will be reading book 1 and 2 and any that follow this excellent book 3!

This story was a great start to an exciting and adventurous series, and personally I can’t wait to read more. While normally my fantasy stories involve wishes, vampires and fae, this one had a whole new outlook with the elemental aspect. The story as a whole was exciting, adventurous, suspenseful, and more. The characters were built perfectly and the plot as a whole had me on the edge of my seat. While I love all fantasy genres this one has quickly become one of my favorites and I can’t wait to see what our author gives us next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Burn is a refreshing and original concept for a paranormal fantasy tale where the premise has a lot going for it. The story is a little slow in its development but at the same time felt a little rushed in the details. There are a lot of things that should/could have been expanded on and a lot of unanswered questions and wondering to be had as a reader. I hope that as the series progress, we get them.

This is only the first book to the series and it has the potential to become a great series. We don’t really see any action until about three quarters of the way through BUT this is the author building the characters and the world and setting the scene for us.

I really did enjoy the characters and the world building and this story and I can’t wait for Book 2.

I fell in love with Ava and Cole. A second chance romance that will give you all the feelings. They are conflicted because she wants or, or does she but he doesn’t. Can they work through this? I found the writing to modern and contemporary. It felt fresh and realistic. I loved the romance that showed love is hard, it does require work. The chemistry is there. I was intrigued from the start. It’s a quick story and I had to finish it once I started to see where they ended up. This is one of my favorite romance authors and I am a new fan to this series. I cannot wait to read the others.

This book really pulls you straight back into this world you have become so familiar with and the characters you have grown to love.
This book is packed full of everything I have come to expect from this author. It was exciting to read but also kept the romance and emotional elements to it. I could not put this book down once I had started reading. This is a fantastic story that I thoroughly enjoyed and amazing series overall.

This is a great second chance, billionaire romance that I really, really enjoyed. I had not read any of this author’s work before, but after reading this book, I’ll be sure to read more in future as I was impressed by the storytelling from this author and how well the story flowed.
Weston left Postscript Island after a false pregnancy scare with his girlfriend Marissa. When he comes back years later, he’s determined to win her over and that means telling her the real reason he left all those years ago.
I really enjoyed Weston and Marissa’s story. Weston is determined to win her over but Marissa is determined to keep him at arms length even though she really wants to wrap her arms around him and not let him go again.
I really liked both Weston and Marissa as characters. They are very well written and you can relate to them. The books also boasts a great cast of secondary characters who add so much to the story. I really hope that we get to see a lot more from these characters in future books from this author.
Definitely recommend.

I loved this book. This is a new author to me. Because Wen and Ryker have been BFF’s forever, their chemistry is off the charts. I can get with why Wen doesn’t want to mate with him but I’m glad that was basically ignored. Ryker has wanted her for so long. She has had it for him. This was written in the charts. Just because he’s a shifter doesn’t mean it can’t happen. They are adorable, as are their parents. I found the story to be fun and quite entertaining. The boat trip was a hoot. The romance and the adventures just all pulled everything together. The writing was fresh and contemporary. It was also nice to read a new story with an AMBW flair. Shifter tales add so much to the story. Overall, a fun and romantic story (with some steam), that’s quite enjoyable and a great read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series of 3 stories are all based in Hawaii. The first two books are about surfers and while I would have enjoyed getting Bones’s story in the third book. There was definitely a story to tell about Claudia and Henry in book 3.
Keoni and Mary Lou were up first in Try Easy and it is a very sweet story. The start as strangers and she is visiting Hawaii for 2 weeks then heading back home to her boyfriend and the plan they have for their lives.
Keoni is never going to allow himself to fall for a tourist. But life has a way of raising its head and showing you that you are wrong.

Book 2 Try Me is Declan and Pearl’s story, him a professional surfer and she is a cigarette girl and surfing is a passion of hers. Their story is a fake relationship tale, where they end up falling in love. Both characters have lost someone they love to the waves that they crave. Can they make it ?

Book 3 is Claudia and Henrys story. Claudia is a bit part actress just trying to get a big break and Henry is a stunt man. Their story is also set in Hawaii and is just as riviting as the other two stories in this series.

You will fall in love will all of the characters and their stories and it will keep you turning pages

What a fun read this book is! Jake is done with dating after yet another girl he was dating was only interested in his bank account. He is just so sick and tired of it all. At a poker night his friends talk him into going on some Blind dates where his friends choose the girls he will date. He agrees as long as they also go on dates as well. This opens up to the rest of the series which I personally am excited for. Anyway back to the story, the dates are held in a completely darkened restaurant adding new meaning to the term Blind date. As you can imagine this creates some interesting times for sure. I don’t want to say too much more about the storyline as I don’t want to give too much away. Just know that this very talented author created a great storyline and wonderful characters, both main and side characters, that I just can’t wait meet again in the next book.

Hi, I’m Wednesday Family. I’m a witch, and I’m in love with my best friend—Scratch that. I am addicted to my best friend—a panda shifter.

Ryker is the sweetest, most adorkable guy I know. Also, his body is a “weapon of Wednesday” destruction. I made the stupid mistake of enjoying the fringe benefits of our friendship, and he ruined me.

No other guy satisfies that itch like Ryker does. I know it can’t last since he has a mate somewhere, though I wish a house would fall on her and save me the trouble. I need to cut him off. The problem is that I don’t want to stop.

Goddess. I’m a horrible friend.

This series is so good! I loved reading about Hawaii and the characters lives there. I absolutely adore Lou and all of her growth! I have to say she is probably my favorite character out of all three books. Honestly there is a lot of character growth in all of the books but Lou really stuck with me. The descriptions of Hawaii are absolutely amazing and make you feel as though you are there. I would love for Bones to have a story and to know if things go back to Penny. These stories are very well written and I definitely want to read more from this author! They have a really great and easy story telling style.

This amazing book series allows you to travel to the Hawaiian islands, experience some whirlwind romances and live within the 1960s era. Brashear has an incredible ability in illustrating her words to truly transform the reader into her world of beauty, romance, and interpersonal relationships. These books were so enjoyable and easy to read.
Each of the books deal with a different story of characters caught up in their romantic whirlwind. Quite a bit of themes to be expected are drama, love triangle, being in the public eye, family connections, and many more. What I personally loved most about the book series was being transported to the 1960s vibe of Hawaii. I’ve never traveled there and it truly feels through reading their travels and exploration as the essence of the story takes place helps you enjoy a bit of paradise. Great beach read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fantastic, emotional second chance romance!!!

Mavis and Josh were high school sweethearts who had a wonderful future planned together, that is until an unplanned pregnancy upended all those dreams. Mavis made a choice she thought would be best for all of them, but as it turned out, it wasn’t good for anyone. Josh went on to attain his dreams, but his heart never healed from the loss of Mavis and the questions left unanswered in the wake of her leaving him. Now, ten years later the past will collide with the future and that secret along with another bombshell will come to light, and the broken pieces of their hearts may never be put back together again.

I was hooked from the very first page, and I have truly been in a reading slump, and Julie Navickas got me out of it!!!! I was in love with most of the characters, especially the main three…Josh, his brother, Austin, and Mavis. They were far, far from perfect, but their imperfections are what made me love them. Their relationships were messy and complicated but full of love and forgiveness.

While this book does involve a love triangle, it is done so differently and so realistically. I could actually see why Mavis fell in love with both brothers, and she loved them in very different ways. Yes, she does make a choice! I believe that the flashes to the past clearly show the close relationship both Josh and Austin had with her and their genuine love for her.

Navickas is a phenomenal storyteller. She completely wrapped me up in the story and had me totally invested in her characters. On top of that, her writing is fantastic, almost lyrical! Can’t wait to see what happens in the next two books!

This is a second chance romance between a small group of friends that began in high school. Josh & Mavis have history and a love that can’t be quenched. Things take a turn when Mavis forms a relationship with Josh’s twin brother, Austin. Once Josh’s divorce is final, he decides to fight for his true love Mavis which unravels drama, secrets, and heartbreak. This book was cute and clean. I would’ve liked more depth to Josh & Mavis, but overall this is a sweet romance.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a great read. I enjoyed the storyline and the character development. This book is excellent if you like reading books from multiple points-of-views. It was nice to see how each of the two characters thought and felt at certain times.

In this book, you will fall in love with Greer. She is a strong girl that tries to take on all her battles alone and in silence—determined not to use others or the wealth they have. She gets thrown to the wolves by a person that should have shielded her. Then there is Beckett, the teenager that has it all. Money, status, friends, and a determination to never let a girl close.
