Key to His Heart by Kristina Beck – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Key To His HeartKey To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great love story the “Key To His Heart” was. This is a story about Katrina, “Kat”, who is pregnant and recently divorced. She felt she needed to start life over and moved to a small town in PA. While in her new town, she meets the man she has envisioned for eight years, TJ. TJ is a retired football player, turned chemistry teacher, with family all around town. They first meet in his parents’ store and feel a weird connection, but she leaves without looking further into it. His aunt rents a house out to Kat, but they don’t realize it until TJ stops by to work on the house and finds her in labor. This is the real start to their crazy love story and you will never guess all the little twists, turns, and fate that make it all possible.
I really enjoyed this romantic love story. It reminded me of a good ole fashion Hallmark romance that had good plot, love, and a happy ending. I think the most enjoyable aspect was the characters, all of them from Kat to TJ, but also all of TJ’s family members. While I don’t normally enjoy stories when a pregnancy is involved, I think the personality of TJ made it more enjoyable. He was my favorite character by far. He is kind, masculine, thoughtful, sensitive, strong, educated, etc. TJ is everything I think a man should be and he handled all of the situations with such grace. This story really gave a positive spin on the single parent topic, showing that it isn’t hopeless, the right person always comes along, and that there are men who can take on responsibility, take and love children completely, and that a “stepparent” can be just as amazing!!

Something About Aimee (Girls from the Street Book 1) by S.E. Smith – Review by Kristan Anderson

Something About Aimee (Girls from the Street Book 1)Something About Aimee by S.E. Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Something About Aimee by S.E. Smith is book one in their Girls From the Streets series. Aimee and Qadir couldn’t be any more different. One grew up with what many would consider a rough childhood with a lot of street smarts. And one grew up in a palace, surrounded by luxury and security. When the pair unexpectedly meet, sparks immediately fly. I have to say, I had high hopes for the story but things seemed to happen almost too fast. The instant attraction was understandable but the quick love and almost overwhelming infatuation was a bit strange. Aimee seems to throw herself into danger and being wealthy and of status Qadir seems to bring it. The story could have used a little more heat and spice over danger. That said, overall the story was good. Just felt as though some things could have been a little better.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pure, good vibes to be found within these pages. This little novel, with big feelings, goes to show that timing really is everything. You may find your person when you are young, and not ready for that reality, and you go off to live your life and dreams, only to be pulled back into the arms of that same person. There are so many scenarios in which this could be played out, and this author really did the best job at allowing for us to connect with both Katie and Chase, and root for them once all the cards were on the table.

Life really does have some crazy twists and turns, and some changes make us even better. A wonderful read, I admit I devoured it in a day, and had some laughs, cries, and held my breath at the beautiful story that was woven. If you’re looking for a quick read with lots of love, care, and beautiful memories, this is it!

I enjoyed being able to go visit the 1400s in this book. I often wonder what life is like in different time periods. I really enjoyed the adventure the author took us on in this book. I’m not sure I would survive in a world with arranged marriages, but it’s a lot of fun to read about. I haven’t read this author before, but I’ll be sure to check out other books ASAP.

Something About Aimee is definitely the best book I’ve read this year. This story is about a homeless young woman named Aimee Wheels and a prince named Sheikh Qadir Saif-Ad-Din. Aimee is a strong free spirited woman with the most enchanting personality. Her character drew me to the story from the first moment i read about her. Qadir’s love and fascination with Aimee will definitely make your heart skip a beat. This story is full of action, fun, sexy seens and much more. Something About Aimee will keep you turning pages non stop. This book will be on my favorites for years to come.

I loved this book from the first word to the last. I felt like I was right there with Eliza, Heath, and Joy – tackling a mystery. A hilarious book with twists and turns and romance. What’s not to love??

I could not put the book down, hence I declare it delicious. Perfect for a day out in the sun. The author impeccably blends proper English with British colloquialisms. Spun in perfect measure with whispers of scenery and life from days of yore. Such a delightful book. My only complaint is that it had to end. I am thrilled to know this is going to be a series. Until the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My heart is so happy that I picked up this book to read and could not put it down!! The story totally consumed me from beginning to end. This story had it all…. action, deceit, love and a few steamy scenes!

Aimee Wheels is such a free spirit and hustling day to day as a courier in NYC. When a small bet is wagered if she can get a delivery on time..Aimee is up to the task…but little did she know that the delivery also changes her life. Sheik Qadir Saif Ad Din radiates power and is royalty tries to get some attention by Aimee, at first she dismisses him. When an assassination attempt against Qadir starts in full motion, Aimee saves his life. After that fateful attempt….Qadir and Aimee’s chemistry hits off the charts..but they both come from different worlds….will their differences keep them apart when chaos ensues?

There is so much more to this book but I dont want to give any spoilers away…I could talk about this story forever. The characters of Qadir and Aimee are fantastic, and even though they have different upbringings, they both share so much love not only for each other but to their families and friends as well. I did not want this story to end and I look forward to reading book #2!

This was a good four star read.
Paige had seen an artist technique on a painting that got her traveling to go seek out the unknown artist named Mark. When she gets to the farm and meets Mark she is immediately attracted to him. Mark enjoys painting as more of a hobby, and he is not interested in making it more than it is. He is happy on his horse ranch adopting older horses. Eventually she does convince him to do a show. There is a twist that ends up bringing them closer, can they keep things professional or will they give into their feelings?

Overall this was a fun read. I really enjoyed this couple. And I love horses so that was an added bonus. The author did a great job with her writing and I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today/

This was a good 5 star read. This story pulled me in right from the beginning. This couple had several different things to deal with. Eric was a private person and mayor of a small town. Kiki is a pop star that has paparazzi following her all over the place. These two have had a great thing going on between them until Kiki gets some news that changes everything. Will Eric be accepting of what she has to share with him? Can they have a HEA?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I really liked how supportive Eric was. I did have a couple of LOL moments. They do have some hurdles that added a great element to the story. The secondary characters were great too. The author does a great job with her writing and I look forward to reading more from her. 1-click and get started today.

Paige and the Reluctant Artist

I’m a sucker for animals and they usually are my favorite character in the book and as much as I like Paige and Mark, Storm Cloud stole my heart.  I could picture him and his personality in my mind and knew it was love.

Paige’s priority is her job, aside the fact she is good at it, she also loves it which in turns helps her in success.   She sees a piece and entranced by it and eventually it’s creator the moment she lays on it and him.  Their attraction was instantaneous but she refused to get out of her head.

Mark is about as down to earth and humble a very rich man could be.  Money isn’t his focus except how it helps the animals he rescues.  He gets in his head too but like Paige.

This was a sweet love story that I enjoyed.

Kiki never expected to find love. Let alone with someone as normal as Eric, the mayor of Mustang Prairie.

Eric knows that being with a pop star is going to be rough, and as someone who values the privacy Mustang Prairie allows, it’s quite a change.

When Kiki finds herself pregnant, both her and Eric are excited, but it’s hard to feel like it’s real when your whole life has always been on display. Now Kiki must find a way to save herself from her agent and keep her new life safe from the paparazzi that comes with being a pop sensation. Can she move on from her past and will Eric be able to handle are her secrets?

With life growing inside her Kiki is forced to re-evaluate a lot of things in her life. Let it be Love is the story of two people, celebrities in their own right, falling in love and finding out that sometimes happy ever afters don’t go as planned.

This was a sweet story about how love can help guide you and support you through the tough times, the happy times, and the downright insane times. I feel like the characters were well built, and the town of Mustang Prairie really draws you in and makes you want to go and never leave.

I’m excited to read more about Mustang Prairie and the friends made along the way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Paige and the Reluctant Artist is such a sweet romance where two hurt individuals surprisingly find their way into each other’s lives. They both harbor some bad feelings from a past relationship which colors their opinion of everyone they meet.

Paige and Mark seem completely opposite from first glance as she is a sophisticated city girl, and he is a handsome painter from the country. They are brought together because Paige is an art curator for a very grand art gallery and Mark’s artwork is one-of-a-kind. She tries to persuade him to do an art show at the gallery, but he is adamant about staying in Montana and taking care of his rescue horses. Will she be able to convince him to share his breathtaking art with the world or will he send her back to the city with nothing but sorrow?

I enjoyed this cute love story because the characters are lovable but just a bit out of touch for me. I adore the relationship between Mark and his horses, but particularly with the main mare, Storm Cloud. I recommend this quick yet enchanting romance!

Princess of Prias by Courtney Davis – Review by Santana Hicks

Princess of PriasPrincess of Prias by Courtney Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elle has always been different but she could never put her finger on why other than the obvious star shaped birthmark and purple eyes. After the death of the woman who raised her named Aunt Sara, she came across a box that was labelled with Elle’s name on it. When going through the box, Elle found a journal and a bracelet from her biological mother who died after giving birth. The journal was in a language she did not recognize and the bracelet glowed and had weird inscriptions in the same foreign language. Elle also felt a weird pain shot through her birthmark.

Over the next couple days, the feelings do not subside. A man, named Locan, approaches her and confirms she is indeed different. She is the lost princess of a Utopia called Prias. Her whole life is turned upside down. Learning the truth of her own family and the betrayal behind it, Elle and Locan know that she was meant to rule but can they take down everyone and everything in their way?

This book was a very fun read. I found Elle’s character to be very relatable. The author did an amazing job introducing each character and world building. I could not put the book down. I had to find out what happened next! I also really enjoyed that Elle wasn’t an 18 year old when she learned she was a princess. She was already an established woman with a career, making her that much more relatable to me as an adult myself.

Oh My! How can this be the first time I have read a book by this author?!?! Could I have chosen a better book to start off with!? Oh, how fun this story was to read! Aimee is the coolest chick ever! She certainly doesn’t need anyone. Living the way she chooses, even if it isn’t the safest of neighborhoods. She has her friends and her skateboard, which I am surprised she hasn’t named.

When Aimee runs into Qadir things take a different turn.

“How many others were like Aimee; vibrant and capable, but just one unlucky moment away from complete disaster?” – Hits a little personal. So many people are just one unlucky moment, one car break down, one sickness, one unlucky moment away from complete disaster. Is there something Qadir can do to help, to encourage, to teach…

Aimee and Qadir have an instant attraction but neither one wants to believe it. I really love this story and can’t wait to see what else happens to these characters and their friends/family!

She is about to go out one evening when she finds out about a tragedy which is near to her heart, she is devastated and feels alone, but it also leads to a life changing event, she finds some of her mothers belongings, one of which starts glowing green, she just thinks that it’s something caused by grief.

When life returns to a bit of normality, she suddenly starts feeling like she is being followed, so when handsome Locan turns up telling her that her dream is actual true and she is a princess, he gives her a choice to either come with him in his spaceship, or be left to fend for herself against the less friendly people who intend her harm. Elle feels like she is either going insane, or Locan is, but thanks to the odd feelings and mysterious blue star birthmarks appearing on her arm, she decides to take a chance and makes the last minute decision to go with him.

As they journey through space, Locan explains more about where she is from and what it is like living there, including about her Uncle, it is a lot to process, but Elle seems to be taking it in her stride, but as with all journeys, this one doesn’t go smoothly.

I found this to be a fantastic sci-fi fantasy book that was action packed with just the right amount of romance in it. We have Elle, who thinks she is an orphan, who has always felt a disconnect with people on Earth and Locan, a warrior at odds with himself, because he has seen what happens when you lose control. Due to fate, or actually the Gods, they are brought together and have to learn to trust not only each other, but themselves if they want to survive the journey back to their home planet and save it. I felt the character descriptions and development was well rounded, I cared for the characters and wanted to see them succeed and I was worried when things got into tight spots for them. I was impressed at how the author was able to complete the story in one book without it feeling rushed or details were left out. The pacing was solid. The story definitely touched on some adult themes so not a story for children or younger teens. I definitely recommend it for a mature reader who wants to lose themselves in a fantastic story that is going to take them to another world!

Let It Be Love is a contemporary romance about pop star KiKi and small-town mayor Eric. This couple truly cares for each other but fame makes it difficult to have the relationship she wants and Eric is reluctant to step into the public eye. This was a very realistic and mature portrayal of your typical romance book. I like how KiKi and Eric communicated and made an earnest effort to have a happy relationship. These two were committed to one another and it was lovely to see. This was a delightful read.

Saved by Love was a phenomenal read. It is book #7 in the Bellevue Bullies series. I’m gonna be honest….I never read books 1-6. I had just finished a book and was looking for something to read when I came across Saved by Love. The title alone caught my eye (I’m a sucker for a good love story). After reading the synopsis and some of the reviews I figured out I could read this like a standalone, I did, and I’m sooooo glad I did. It is such a good story!
I’m not gonna say too much since I don’t wanna give anything away. I will say is, the storyline is amazing, the characters are great and loveable, if you decide to read this be prepared for all the emotions!
My favorite thing about this book was the “Mental Health” issues. I have never read a book where the author allows the characters to openly say “Hey I have Mental health issues and It’s ok” or “I have mental health issues and I need help”. I feel like mental health is so important and needs to be talked about. I give the AUTHOR 2 BIG HIGH FIVES for touching on mental health related issues and showing how people struggle through them and how they can over come some of those.
I am definitely going to have to read 1-6 now!!!

The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons is the second book in the Antipodes series. For me this is a series that really does need to be read in order so you can fully appreciate what is happening.
I found this book to be just as detailed and well thought out as the first book. I really love how it makes you think about what it is trying to do. It really helps to draw you into the story even more. Even after reading this book I’m really not sure what I would do if I had the chance to do things over. It is one of those questions that I don’t think you would truly know the answer to until you had to decide.
This book in detailed and comprehensive and a really great read. I would highly recommend this series!

KiKi Ramirez is living the life as a pop princess. She’s gone on world tours and met many famous people. She has the world at her fingertips. It’s show time and she’s stepping into the cage that will lift her high above the crowd of her adoring fans but she’s feeling dizzy, like she might actually get sick. Next thing she knows, everything turns black.

Eric loves being the mayor of his small town Mustang Prairie, but he loves Kiki more. Why can’t she see it? He’d love to make more of their relationship but he doesn’t want all the paparazzi that comes with dating an international superstar. Is there a balance in all of this?

Life for Eric and Kiki is about to change in ways that they could never imagine. Can both of their careers sustain all these changes and challenges being thrown their way? Can love win over their hearts?

This was an enjoyable contemporary romance to read in an afternoon. The characters are loveable and realistic. I had no idea this book was part of a series, which is awesome, because I can go back now and read about some of Eric and Kiki’s friends! This book was easy to read as a standalone but knowing I can read more about the other couples gives me even more reasons to love this author!

I’m very happy with the way the story is ended. We never forget our first loves and sometimes it’s our only love. By the end of story I believe everyone had been healed emotionally and were truly happy. It’s definitely a feel good romance.
