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

If you want a heartwarming romance that really tugs on the heartstrings then this is the book for you. It’s the 2nd book that I’ve read from this author and this one will also be getting 5 stars as I was totally lost in the story. It is the quintessential page-turner. The story is also based on some real life events. I’d really love to know exactly which parts of the story really happened.
Do you believe that your soul mate is out there? Is there someone that you are destined to be with? Have you had visions of this person and heard their voice? That’s what happened to Katrina. And what happens when fate steps in and you meet this person and it’s instant attraction on both sides? You really need to read this book to get the answers to these questions.
I adored Kat and TY’s story. I fell in love with both characters instantly and was swept along with their amazing story.
100% recommend!

Amber Waves of Grace by Jessica Berg – Review By Shannen Kern

Amber Waves of GraceAmber Waves of Grace by Jessica Berg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amber Waves of Grace definitely caught me off guard. It starts in the middle of Corrie harvesting wheat when her hired man, George, starts causing a ruckus and quits. She ends up receiving some help from Luke and Aaron Tuttle, her neighbors who are also brothers. Corrie has a complicated and painful past with Luke and becomes attracted to Aaron even though she thinks he won’t even cast a passing glance her way.
Even though I believe EVERYONE will find this story relatable, I felt a kinship with Corrie as I am both a country girl and as stubborn as the day is long. She still has a soft spot in her heart for friends and family. There is nothing Corrie wouldn’t do to keep them safe and as a woman who tries to do it all herself, she finds that is a much bigger task than she anticipated especially upon bringing in a stranger into her home and under her wing.
I laughed, yelled, and cried reading this book and fell in love with all the characters. It hits on so many different levels of emotion that feel so raw and real. There is a good amount of drama and mystery in this book without feeling like the author is relying on it to carry the story and make it interesting. It may start out a tiny bit slower than some books, but it picks up fast and tells a beautiful story!

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

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

Something About Aimee (Girls from the Street Book 1) by S.E. Smith
5 out of 5 stars

Wheels, born on the streets and learned how to take care of herself and those she cares the most about. Qadir, born to rule, everything given to him, yet knows how to work hard, and works to get what he wants. What happens when Wheels saves his life, and stays a mystery to him.

This book was so good. I literally finished it within 24 hours of picking it up for the first time. The mystery behind Aimee, made me keep turning every single page. Then how much love she showed to everyone in her area. Need a new dress? She found a friend and they helped pull a drop dead gorgeous outfit together.

Reading the love story between Qadir and Aimee is so heartfelt. I loved every single detail and the eloquent style of writing S.E. Smith put into this book.

The ending seemed a bit abrupt for me. Without describing a spoiler, big news happened and then one chapter later the book was over. I would love to read more about Aimee and Qadir, how they go through life and their new life changes. But, I cannot wait to read the second book and hopefully the bad guys are caught and things come together a bit more. Maybe we will also see Aimee and Qadir more in the next book.

All in all, this book was written perfectly, and my only complaint is small, and I am a sucker to see characters live out their lives in books, versus just seeing part of their life.

As a single mom, I became enamored in this book and the direction it went. I fell instantly in love with both characters. The way their inner thoughts were explored to their interactions and once they finally collided easily where we, as the reader, thought they should be all along, really made it worth the read! Check it out — you’re gonna love this as much as I did.

Love is Worth Fighting forLove is Worth Fighting for by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third installment in a great series. We find out all about Krystina and Loukas’ journey to love. We see many generation’s tales of love in this story and watch as Krystina tries to over come the past unforgivable actions (her perception) of Loukas’ friends.
This novel can be read as a stand alone but you will miss all the cultural aspects and historical facts, as well as Krystina’s older siblings stories. I found this book to be as much of a page turner as the first two and look forward to the next in this series.

This is a quick read with strong characters. As a second novel in the series I had hoped for more storyline and got it. I was impressed with the details, not only of what’s happening but the places, cultural references and a little history. Mia and Nick are a match made in hell it seems as they do nothing but fight. Both are bound and determined to get their ways. You will find a lot of romance, drama and even some steam in this book. I am excited for book three!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is a romantic comedy with all the fixings. Plus it has recipes. Now I don’t know about you but I love when a character is eating delicious food and I not only can imagine the taste I can go to my very own kitchen and experience it. There was elements of drama (especially the family kind), it was a little emotional, some heartbreak and of course comedy laced with romance. I loved the character development and would have rated this one five stars if the storyline was a bit more detailed. Kally and Max are the perfect main characters and you will continue reading despite those missing details for them.

Amber Waves of GraceAmber Waves of Grace by Jessica Berg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Corrie has her work cut out for her. After an accident leaves her father unable to carry on the daily duties of caring for and running a farm, Corrie leaves her reporter job and comes back home. She’s out on the combine daily bringing in the harvest and when it’s planting season, she’s back planting in the fields. Tragedy seems to come naturally to Corrie though, not that she’s asking for it! Whether it’s firing her farmhand, running into an old love, the drama that comes with running a business, Corrie has her fair share of excitement, and it’s not all good. However, there are several facets of this story that do bring about good. Tragedy brings good to those who look for it!! Corrie has a beautiful heart and the love she has for people is the kind of love this world needs more of!!

I LOVED this book!!!! It is definitely in my top three reads so far this year and I’m pretty sure it’s number one! What Northern raised farm girl wouldn’t love a book about a girl running a huge farm!?!?! This book was so refreshing and different from the romances I’ve been reading lately. There are so many elements of this book….love, grace, peace, forgiveness along with tragedy, shame, and pain. This book seemed so real to me and the author weaves this story so beautifully. There are “christian” elements in this book but it’s not the sole focus of the story. I will be looking for more books by this author as I really enjoyed her storytelling and the style in which she writes!

LeviLevi by Edith Mackenzie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this author as it’s the first time I have read her books. I noticed that it was Book 1 when I started – generally I will purchase all books in a series before reading any in case they have a cliff hanger that moves into the next book. This one intrigued me when I read the overview of it so I picked it up while the rain was pounding down outside and I didn’t have a lot to do in the house (a rarity indeed!)

I really enjoyed this book! it’s the story of Bella and Levi – there’s action, family and romance – what’s not to love? I loved the way the characters developed through the book.

The only sad part was that when I reached the end of the book I wanted more. I will definitely be looking for the next one.

I really enjoyed this quick read by Jennifer Raines. It was my first of her books, but I would definitely read more. This contemporary romance had lovable characters that you become invested in. There is a unique twist to the story and I loved the setting of the book, which was also unique to my experiences as a reader in the US. As someone with a sister and a nephew of my own, I connected to the story and found myself hoping for a happy ending. Great summer read!

The Liminal Space (Antipodes #2)The Liminal Space by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second in the Antipodes series and I would suggest reading the first book prior to reading the second. This is my favourite of the series (although I’ve read it out of order), and this one made me more emotional than the others. Once again, the story follows Cam and what happens after the events of the first book. Cam is now living on the Island of Lewis, until he learns that someone he loves may still be alive. It was interesting to see how Cam grows throughout the course of the book as he now has a family to look after and all the dilemmas of a community that has to survive on very little because a pandemic has destroyed most of the earth. This one seemed slower than the others in the series but I enjoyed the emotional arcs more. An atmospheric read.

Cover Designer – Amanda Walker

Falling in love with a rogue is risky…

Celia Buchanan lives her life in a social whirl. And she’s hiding a secret that could ruin her. She needs a suitable husband who is either blissfully unaware of the devastating truth or adores her so much it won’t matter. She doubts such a man exists until she discovers Gabriel Rose watches her from the shadows. He may be a rogue, but his kisses set Celia on fire and the things he whispers in her ear are utterly scandalous.

Gabriel Rose straddles the border between nobility and London’s murky shadows. He is content there—until he discovers an obsession with the one woman he can never claim as his. But when Celia grants him a kiss in the darkness, her fate is sealed. Once Gabriel tastes her sweetness, he cannot let her go. What must he do to keep her forever?

Destiny is a fickle creature. A bastard is abruptly elevated to the rank of marquess, and a lady is caught in a compromising situation. A hasty marriage may not erase dark secrets and society’s prejudices but will a dangerous threat from the past force these star-crossed lovers to realize they belong together?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Read this one! What a great, fast-paced story! I loved Jessica and Seth’s story. Partners with a palpable attraction, but each not knowing they like one another. Their developing relationship and romance draws the reader in and adds an element depth to the story, enhancing the suspenseful and thrilling pieces of the story. The author weaves the suspense in throughout the story and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. I was turning the pages and read this in just a couple of sittings (and maybe lost some sleep) because I couldn’t put it down. The overall development of the characters and story culminated in an amazing read. I can’t wait to read another by this author!

Very well written, The Detail, is the first book I have read by this author. Full of action and some suspense. This book will have you on the edge of your seat in some points. The Male and Female main characters are partners as law enforcement officers, and they are attracted to each other yet the other has no clue how they feel. The fact that it is mutual, and they haven’t shared this with each other yet is the first in a long progression of suspenseful moments in this story. The storyline has substance, and the characters are well developed and very interesting. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

What a fun book with a mix of the current Darcy clan living at Pemberley and the history of Elizabeth Bennett and her Mr. Darcy! Eliza wants to learn more about her family and why her father left England so she goes to Pemberley for a family reunion. She meets up with her cousin Joy Bingley, Jane’s relative, her goofy Aunt Iris, and a handsome Heath. All is going well until a body is found in the fountains and no one knows who the killer is. Eliza and her clan start snooping and start to find out secrets surrounding the staff, the family, and the house. I loved the characters, the setting at Pemberley, the snippets from Elizabeth’s journal, and the story line which kept me wanting to find out what was going to happen next!

Murder Most Pemberley is the first book in the Eliza Darcy Mysteries series. I always enjoy a new take on Austen’s works, and this was a fun read. This story is set in modern-day times with the ancestors of Darcy and other characters from Pride and Prejudice. Eliza is American and has skipped across the pond to meet her father’s family in England. What starts as curiosity about her family turns into a murder mystery.
I enjoyed the characters and the story. It was a fun, light-hearted read, which leaves me looking forward to the next book in the series. I look forward to reading more from this author and this series soon.

Forget 50 Shades!!
Now This is Adult Romance in All its Glory! I adore the D/s aspect of the relationship, and that it’s written absolutely naturally. Saccenti Delivers another flawless gem that is devastating to the hormones and the libido. More than that, the characters are so wonderfully written that this reads like a bit of a suspense mystery as well. I adored that aspect and the captivating scenery and imagery of the locales. This one has it all and will keep you hooked from start to finish!

It was a quick read, but so good!

What a sweet slow burn romance! If you prefer clean romances, then this is for you. Levi brings that hard rugged military guy we all love, and Bella seems like the spoiled princess who hasn’t had to cook or clean when we meet her. Along the way, we see more of her character and find her more likeable. I love the characters in this book, and the touch of danger and suspense really makes it all the better. I am looking forward to the rest of the series!

This is the fourth book in this series and what a gripping read. This author is at the top of my list and this book shows why. I was captivated throughout. This story is emotional with danger, murder, suspense, hurt, love, and family. It is my suggestion that you read the previous books in this series for more backstop of the characters. This is a must read for mature adults as there is violence and sexual content. I highly recommend this book, you will not be able to put it down.

This fun murder mystery really blew me out of the water. I have read a couple of this authors books and personally she is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Every book I have read of hers has been amazing and this one is no different. The characters are well developed, realistic, and bring the story together as a whole. The mystery was just enough to keep you on the edge of your seat while reading this incredible mystery. However not only did the murder mystery help bring this book alive but its also full of nutty relatives, romance, and of course plenty of tea, this book really had it all.

This book was a quick read by a new to me author.

Ella finds herself raising her niece, Tessa, after her sister loses her two year battle with cancer. After the funeral, Ella finds a letter for an appointment her sister had with a lawyer they do not have a good history with. She shows up to the appointment only to realize she may lose the loose custody she has of her niece. While all this is happening, Ella inexplicably finds herself drawn to Jake and while he’s sure Ella has something to do with her sisters apparent extortion plot, their chemistry is off the charts. As more secrets are unearthed, Ella isn’t sure who she has on her side but one thing she does know is she will fight for Tessa with everything he has.

I enjoyed this story. It was slightly different than most I’ve read and it kept me engaged. The characters were well written. There was a lot of emotion and tension in this book. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen next!

Undeniable (Central Florida Stories, #2)Undeniable by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in Central Florida Stories. These books can be read as a standalone as well. This story is a romance, but with cartels and danger it gives the story an extra element. Add to it the BDSM factor and it becomes a gripping steamy read.
The author does an amazing job with the character. Both of our main characters have problems in their past that they are working through. As a reader I like that because it makes them feel more realistic.

In this story we are with Arely and Kurt. They have known each other for years as Kurt was a friend to Arely’s brother. Arely always had a soft spot for Kurt but she was always his friends baby sister.

Fast forward and their lives cross again in a way neither of them expected. Arely is on the run from a dangerous cartel and needs to keep a low profile. To do this she starts working behind the bar at a BDSM club. What she doesn’t realise is that the owner is Kurt.

Kurt has problems of his own, suffering from PTSD he’s struggling to function in every day life. He has no drive until a blast from the past in the form of Arely walks back into his life.
For the first time Kurt sees her as the woman she has now become and the Dom in him wants to claim her for his own.

Will this couple finally get their HEA? Will the cartel find Arely? And if they do will Kurt be able to protect her from the dangers that are coming her way?

I enjoyed reading this suspenseful story. This is a new author for me. I enjoyed their writing skills from beginning to end. This is a well written story about a killer who is determined for revenge and there is only one way to get that which is to kill. The twists and turns had me sitting on the edge of my seat and turning pages fast. A story not only I don’t want to miss but also just hard to put down. A fast paced story that is full of action and even some romance. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their story. There is fast growth and great growth with the characters. This is an easy story to read as the characters are relatable and make you feel as if you are right there with them. A great story that I highly recommend.
